<p>Or if you run a service that produces home cooked meals but would like to charge more for delivery based on the further the customer lives from you then the WooCommerce Distance Rate Shipping extension is perfect.</p>
<p>The use cases are endless and can cover pretty much every scenario for charging shipping based on the total distance or travel time.</p>
