Allow booking of collections (not 'returns') via Click and Drop
As a business we have a requirement to ship WFH equipment to our staff across the UK, and also to collect equipment back from leavers/retrieve faulty items. Click and Drop allows us to ship from our offices but we can only book collections via pay-as-you-go on Royal Mail, which is not suitable for us. We need to be able to book collections which attach to a monthly invoice as we could with Parcelforce.

Do not hold Tracked 48 parcels for 24 hours before scanning
As well as Royal Mail and Parcelforce parcels not being scanned at point of collection like other carriers manage to do, we also have the problem that all our Tracked 48 parcels are not scanned when they are received at our local hub. We are reliably informed that their standard practice is that because they are Tracked 48, they are left for 24 hours before being processed and scanned for the very first time. This means that our customers still get the "We're expecting it" message for at least 24 hours since it has been in the possession of Royal…

Revert to the old system for handing tabs in Click & Drop
Please revert back to the old system or at least give us the option of having tabs remain open or not when an order is clicked, for example, to amend postage details etc.
These tabs never used to stay open when simply amending postage details for an order.
Now you've created work for us by having to click to close tabs when there gets to be too many open for the browser to handle. This can happen 2-3 times per day in my case. More work for no gain.
This is especially egregious since it worked perfectly beforehand.

automatic refund for lost tracked post
If a tracked item is shown as not received after ages. Then obviously that item either hasn't reached the destination, or it hasn't been tracked as was paid for. So the cost of postage could be automatically refunded without the customer (who has already lost a sale) can at least get their postage costs back without filling out a massive form.

printing on 4 per page, A4 label sheets
Printing labels and CH22's on 4 per page, A4 label sheets from PDF's used to work fine. Now the placing of the labels on the page overlaps the label joins.
This is the same for 4 per page with and without border sheets.
Please check and adjust the label positioning to corectly print within the label boundaries2 votes -
Add DDP for Large Letters to the USA
Add Large Letters with DDP for the USA please.
80% of my orders are Large Letters to the USA and today I had to send them as Parcels which has increased my shipping costs hugely.10 votes -
Allow WooCommerce Customer Order Status to Sync.
Please allow custom order statuses to sync to click & drop, not just "Processing" orders.
Lot's of WooCommerce users use custom order statuses to manage orders, having only the "Processing" orders sync, leaves us to manually enter a large chunk of orders.
An extra field in the settings page where you can write the slug of the extra order statuses would fix the issue, and allow us to continue using Click & Drop.

Multi Parcel Consignment takes longer than WDM system
It seems that some of the basic IT functionalities have slipped with the new system, and it’s starting to impact our workflow. For example, when creating a Multi Parcel shipment via manual entry, the process has become much more time-consuming. The system no longer captures default settings like service type, parcel size, or whether a signature is required, which were all part of the previous system and helped streamline our operations.
As a B2B business, the added complexity is especially frustrating. We're having to manually enter the same details—such as weights, parcel sizes, and costs—over and over again. This is…

API - what is the minimal data to post to generate a label?
I can successfully generate an order using the Click&Drop API. But for the label generation, I think that I need to also specify the shipping method.
However, each time I post a new order with the field
postage_detailsand add acarrierName, then I get a 400 Bad Request.The downloaded specification does include:
PostageDetailsRequest: type: object properties: serviceCode: type: string maxLength: 10 carrierName: type: string maxLength: 50However when I look at the https://api.parcel.royalmail.com/#tag/Orders/operation/CreateOrdersAsync endpoint,
I see no carrierName in the example. That seemed to be a problem when posting.Could you clarify which information is needed to…

Get C&D working with Safari on earlier Macs again...
Until last week, C&D was working perfectly fine for eight years on our MacBook Air despatch computers with Safari and then an update from Royal Mail killed it. Royal Mail tech support advice is to buy newer laptops, which for a small business isn't going to happen. Developers should just do their jobs and make sure changes are backward compatible.

Add Large Letters for USA
Now we can only send orders to the USA as Small Parcels!
This is costly, wastes excessive packaging for small items and not at all Eco Friendly. Not business friendly.
It's unbelievable that it's an option for over the counter customers but not for OBA customers5 votes -
Collections from other addresses
Why is there not the same facility as the WDMO for arranging collections? A collection on the WDMO system was easy to arrange and the driver collected the item and when they arrived they had a label to attach to the item.
Now we need to add the collection address to our own business address and email a label for the to the person the item is being collected from, this seems another step backwards2 votes -
Dedicated Firearms Team
With ParcelForce there used to be a specific Firearms Team that dealt with Firearms related problems and queries, they have been disbanded this would seem to be a mistake, the requirements for shipping firearms are governed by legislation that will not be know to your normal helpdesk.

Firearms collections
The previous WDMO system would allow the collection to be booked in up to midnight the day before collection. The new system requires submission of a manifest by 1300 hours for next day collection. A paper copy of the manifest is supposed to stay with the collection and be filled out by the driver? Why when the drivers have the ability to scan the collection to the system have you gone backwards to using paper and pen?

validate country in address
There are problems with customers in the Channel Islands who still use the United Kingdom in their address for orders imported from eBay/Amazon marketplaces
When imported into C&D the country then appears as "United Kingdom Excluding Channel Islands" and does not display all of the correct delivery options. For example there are no delivery options for Parcelforce where orders are over 2KG.
The country should be "United Kingdom - Guernsey" or "United Kingdom - Jersey". There is no warning or error message from C&D.
The addresses correctly state Guernsey or Jersey and they have the correct postcode. C&D should be…

Option for manifest to itemise orders being despatched
It would be very helpful for the manifest to have the option to detail the orders being despatched.
Currently parcel labels have no despatch date and the manifest only tells you the total number of orders (not parcels) being despatched, but not which orders are being despatched. The parcelforce system detailed each order being despatched which aided the team handing over the parcels..

Increase log out time
Can you please increase the time before Click and Drop logs you out from 20 minutes to several hours?
We are Parcelforce customers, we were able to leave WDM on basically all day without logging out which is handy as we process ecommerce orders as they come in.
Many thanks

More SKU's lines on the label
Hi Royal Mail team,
Please can you expand the number of SKU lines visible on Click & Drop labels?
At present, the “Customer Reference” block only shows ~3–4 lines of SKU text, even though the block itself has much more space available. The SKU list is vertically centred, leaving unused whitespace, and a large portion of the block is taken up by the logo area. In addition, the line “Royal Mail: UK’s lowest average parcel carbon footprint 200g CO2e” occupies space that could be better used for operational data.
Our proposal:
Move the SKU list to the top of the…

Provide an option to make the "Order reference" a required field
Would it be possible, please, to give the option to set the "Order reference" field as required so it cannot be left blank? This would mean that all shipments can be referenced to their corresponding delivery note, pick list, or whatever other internal reference a company uses to identify shipments sent using Click & Drop. As a bonus, you could add an editable description so that the user can add what that reference is in brackets - i.e. "Order reference (delivery note)".
