1. Create a new shipping method called Customer Pickup using the Package Rules shipping provider:
   • Create a new Shipping Cost Rule^†:
     When Distance in Miles > -1 and Distance in Miles < 10, Cost = 0.
   • Edit the default rule so that Cost = Hide This Method.

^† If either postal code coordinates are missing, Distance in Miles will return -1. That is why the rule includes a check that the distance is > -1.
