| I would like to offer a shipping option by Regional Xpresspost via Canada Post,
but am unable to do so because I cannot select a region beyond the entire country.
Could this be added please?
Thanks so much!

that has been something that has been wanted for ages but unfoturnatly bricklink
isn't a fan of being able to separate even provinces in Canada so I wouldn't
hold out hope for that but I still vote yes

| I'm hoping that once Bricklink gets the GST/HST situation for the country
figured out it will enable us to have more precise shipping rules. Unfortunately,
(to the best of my understanding anyways) that's not very high on the priority
list.

I don't think it's the real problem.
Server resources.
As of right now it can take up to a couple of seconds to have a shipping method
price, this with only the Countries. Now add 50 States for USA only, say 10 (or
13, not sure) for Canada, etc.
And other countries?
Then the computing time will litteraly explode.
Programming is already almost impossible.
As of right now I've 149 Shipping methods, and will add 20 more, soon.
There's no way to upload a delimited file to program them, it's a basic
point and click and type form you've to manage.
How will you set up all your various methods with an extra Region or State field,
which means you'll duplicate or triplicate each method?
In short, and as of right now - I don't think BrickLink can manage this,
and I don't think sellers realize the silly extra job they're asking
for... Sincerely.

Perhaps you shouldn't comment if you don't know the situation. Each province
has a different tax that BL is supposed to be charging (just like they have instated
for particular states) to all customers due to provincial internet sales laws
already in effect. And programming is so simple it isn't even funny. Each
province has particular letters that start their postal codes (requirement of
every address in Canada). I could write the script in about 1/2 hour.
Should have been implemented ages ago.

Oh but what you're talking about is a different subject.
You're talking about charging different tax per region, as they already do
for USA.
No problem - I'd regex this in 15 minutes 
But OP is asking something else: "it will enable us to have more precise
shipping rules."
So this means (apart if I read too fast) having also regions in the shipping
methods country selection.
Which is why my reply above.
