Show me my shipping zones in the order WooCommerce checks them, with their methods and costs. I want a separate zone for the Greek islands [with / without Evia and Lefkada], checked before the mainland Greece zone, with a flat rate of [5.50] euros and free shipping over [60] euros. Also look at my tax rates and tell me whether they fit a business based in [city], and whether island customers should pay the normal or the reduced VAT rate. Show me the plan first and wait for my approval; I will check the postcodes against my courier's list.

What happens
- The AI app reads your shipping zones in order, and your tax rates.
- It proposes the islands zone from a ready postcode list, placed before the Greece zone, with its methods.
- It explains the VAT: the reduced island rates are only for a business established on an island that keeps them; a mainland shop charges island customers the normal rate.
- The new zone and each method wait for your approval in SAR and can be undone.
