WooCommerce Radius Shipping is a request many have come to us in search for solution. Yes with a bit of customisation and a combination of 2 plugins it is possible.
NOTE- WooODT Extended ( main plugin ) and Map Plugin ( add on ) is required.

Delivery up to X distance
In many cases a delivery is possible by the company or vendor party till 5 or 10 Km after which it automatically changes to pickup.
So in above case the full address is calculated against the store warehouse and then as per map if it is outside the desired a alert will come to choose pickup. Once customer click okay the full page will refresh and pickup will be automatically chosen. If it is inside the said distance then no alert.
So here the full distance is calculated. Do note your API key should be correct and valid for map to function properly.
Delivery up to the shipping postcodes
In this case it will check if customer has put postcode within the back end postcodes of WooCommerce shipping section. If not delivery will show the below alert and upon refresh will be selected to pickup.
You need to put the postcode same as the one at the back end or else it will run in a loop i.e
delivery – postcode check – no change to pickup.
