Shipping Method Configuration

...

The Destination Restrictions tab allows you to specify to which locations and location types the specified shipping method services.
Many merchants use these methods to allow for USPS only when shipping to APO/FPO addresses, for example.

The first section of the Destination Restrictions section determines the valid/invalid destinations representing generalized delivery
destinations, which includes geographical regions of the world, but also includes delivery types: APO/FPO, Post Office Boxes, and
Residential/Business address designations.

The Second section to the destination restrictions is the Countries list:

Force To Distribution Center

If you need to force an order to route to a particular distribution center when this shipping method is selected, pick the distribution center code from the list below. Please note this will not cause the cost of shipping to recalculate since this routing takes place after the shipping method has been selected. This option is primary used with customer pickup methods.
