Can I prevent or edit shipping to certain provinces or states? (Shopify Classic Admin)

It is possible to prevent shipping to certain provinces and states. It is also possible to prevent only certain shipping methods or rates, and leave others available.

To do so, log into your store admin area, click on Preferences and then Shipping

In this example, we will prevent our shipping method labeled Express from being available to Ontario, Click on the name of the shipping rate Express.

This will open up a list of the Canadian provinces where we can disable our Express shipping method for Ontario. On the right side of this list, you will find green check marks, clicking these check marks will change them to a red x and then pressing Apply will disable the shipping method.

Now, with this example, when a customer with a shipping address in Ontario checks out on your store, the Express rate will no longer be available to them to select. If you choose, you can disable a province or state completely by editing all of your shipping rates for the country using the same method.
