[SOLVED] Can I customise the shipping?

Hello everyone. I wrote a post earlier but I can't find where it went. I'm using Version 3.0.3.6 of opencart and I think it's just the default theme. I haven't installed any special extensions - it should just be the default. The store 'Lighting Matters' is in my signature below. I am trying to customise the shipping for the store based on different zones in South Africa. I want to be able to set a unique shipping price for each of the 9 provinces (zones) I have for the only country (South Africa) that I sell to. Here's the screenshot example of the shipping selector on the checkout page. I'm hoping someone has done something similar that they can share with me, please. Thank you.

Thanks for the message. I am still looking for assistance on the shipping. I think I need to configure GeoZones?

Have you read how to do it and are having an issue - or you have not read how to do it yet?
If its the first - more info required, if it is the second see below as a start.

You can use the built-in weight-based shipping method which allows you to separate geo-zones for each shipping area, with their tarifs for the weight-ranges.

I've set weight based as the shipping method which all products for now are 1 kg. I have created Zones and Geo Zones, however, when I try checkout as myself as a customer I can see the formula I've created in the Estimate Shipping & Taxes (screnshot) for the area but when I continue the checkout and get to Step 4: Delivery Method - the chosen Estimate Shipping is not applied to the order (screnshot)?

Fixed. I've discovered my mistake. I had the customer's (me) region on it's account as 'Western Cape' which wasn't what I had picked from the Estimate Shipping 'Cape Town, Western Cape'.
