Please can you tell me if it is possible to set up a custom field in the customer area of the back end where we can tick a check box to say whether that customer should pay for delivery or not? Many thanks

Hi,

Custom user fields won't allow you to discriminate on the shipping method.

What you could do is to use the user group system of Joomla so that you would have a specific user group for users with free shipping. Then, create a new manual shipping method restricted to that user group and restrict the other shipping methods to the other user groups of your website.
Note however that the access level support in shipping methods is only available with the Business edition.
