Labels are printed to an Avery sticky label - why can we not just copy and paste the label from the screen
You present the documents on the screen and the label in in a 4 x 6 label size. to get that label to the envelope it is necessary to print the sheet.Waste of paper and carbon footprint. Why canwe not just select the label and copy and paste it to the label. We then save time and paper!

Prevent Labels Being Purchased if Collections are Unavailable
You will happily take payment for postage whilst advertising that collection is available. Then, when you go to book the collection, "Sorry, collections cannot be arranged right now. This service will be available again shortly, so please try again later.". This has happened a few times - possibly it is unscheduled/unannounced maintenace at the worst possible time which is just before the midnight cutoff. Or possibly the webservice is down from time to time. Either way, you must not advertise collection service on the payment processing page when the API is down. You should allow payment to be taken, but…
1 voteHello and thank you for your suggestion. Collections are just one of the options available for entering your shipment into the Royal Mail network. We support the purchase of labels whilst collections may be temporarily unavailable and encourage you to try a short time later. If you are having difficulties arranging collections, please contact the helpdesk,

Bug during unsuccessful booking of a Collection marking orders as despatched
Sometimes, when booking a Collection immediately after paying for postage, there's an error or something goes wrong, and the status of the orders change from "Label Generated" to "Despatched", but the Collection has not been booked.
If I try to book Collection again, there's an error stating "Only orders that have a 'Label Generated' status can be booked for Collection, so I'm unable to have them collected.
1 voteHello, thank you for your suggestion. Please check you do not have 'Mark order as despatched when label generated' in Settings > Miscellaneous. If you are still encountering this behaviour, please contact the help desk.

Generate Customs CN Documents
Customs CN22 - I didn't realise you had to stick an extra customs label for international packages as there is no warnings when producing international labels. I inputted the customs information which I assumed was accessed digitally but it wasn't producing the extra label so why make me put the information in?? When I received a rejected parcel back due to not having the customs information I was confused as I had put this info in. There really needs to be a warning message telling users that they must affix a customs label to packages because like me, I assumed…

Top up a Balance
It would be definitely helpful to be able to top up a balance to use for postage, currently have to re-enter card details each time we have to post out something even if its just the 1 small letter. That or a way to save account information for which to automatically charge as unless you are sending more then 20 parcels a week you can't get a OBA to link it for payments

IOSS number should be displayed in CN22 label, but just IOSS logo
IOSS number should be displayed in CN22 label, but just a round IOSS logo on the front label.
I spoke to German customs and because the IOSS number isn't on the CN22 form or anywhere on the label, they often change my customers again for customs fees and VAT, even though they already paid this.
1 voteHello. The IOSS number should not be visible anywhere on the package and is transmitted in the electronic customs data. The IOSS logo indicates the shipment is covered by the IOSS scheme and can be verified by customs agents in electronic customs.

Allow 24 and 48 hour tracked mail to be dropped in at Post Office
Proof of postage is essential so why can I not drop off my 24 and 48 hour tracked mail along with my other click and drop mail at the local Post Office? The Postmaster says he gets many complaints and would love to take these but the current Royal Mail contract with the Post Office does not cover this service. Parcel boxes do not supply adequate proof of posting and are just a fiddle to log on the app. The sorting office closes early or is just inaccessible. Please make this a priority as tracking is now essential for my…

We continue to work with Post Office Limited in order to accept Royal Mail Tracked 24 / 48 items. Unfortunately this is not something they offer but we will continue to work with them.
Until then Royal Mail items can be handed over at a Royal Mail Customer Enquiry Office, a Parcel Postbox.

Reduce font size on letter labels
When sending items to the USA by letter rate, I have had a couple returned to me as unable to deliver over the past 12 months. Both addresses were perfectly valid.
However, a customer has been able to find that USPS use automated equipment to process the post, which only reads the last 4 lines of the address.
Normally, you have :
House Number, Street
City
Zip Code
USAHowever, the problem seems to arise where the font size is too large on the labels, so an address such as
301 South Shore LN
Illinois
NE 31313

Pick List / Despatch Notes for non OBA customers
I fall in between two stools. I am a limited company trading successfully since 2016 but for some inexplicable reason RM will not give me an OBA account (Pitney Bowes and all the other competitors were fine with me having an account, so I am totally bemused).
Anyway, I own many stores and have successfully integrated several of them with C&D. I see an OBA customer can generate despatch notes (https://help.parcel.royalmail.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115002652473-Scan-Print-Online-Business-Account-customers-), but again for some inexplicable reason non OBA customers cannot. This would save me so much time going to each individual website and store and printing individual…

Have the option to remove sender's address on labels when buying postage in bulk
If I buy postage for a parcel online, I can choose whether I want my address on the postage label or not, but if I buy postage for multiple parcels by downloading a csv of addresses onto your site, it prints out my address on every label. I don't want my address on the label and it's a pain to have to add each address individually when I can do it quickly in bulk. If the option is there to remove the sender's address when buying postage individually, it should be there when buying postage in bulk too

Please give an option to "Drop off" a parcel, instead of forcing us into "Collection"!
Enable an option to "Drop Off" a parcel, instead of only giving a "collection" option.
Surely it would be far better to be able to select "either" collect from me, or drop at a Royal Mail location at the time of purchase?
If one of your customers is dropping multiple parcels to one of your locations, as I do, being "forced" by the changes to your website into selecting a collection date and time, and then having to go back at the end of a now very lengthy process, to cancel the collection is both very time consuming, frustrating and…

Make invoices optional for either cumitalive or in a breakdown form as to show each individual cost.
It seems the invoice is being totalled as one cumulative invoice and does not show the breakdown of costs per each consignment or PO that we raise
Is there a way to change this on the system as I need to upload these invoices per consignment on our system for our finance dept ?

Pay post offices for processing click and drop
I have been using click & drop for its convenience and it’s professional, scannable labels. It is also slightly cheaper than paying at the post office.
I understand, however, that post offices do not get paid for processing such post. Perhaps even doesn’t get registered on their workload. I’d say this is grossly unfair. I would emphasise I am in no way affiliated to a post office or know personally anyone who works there, but I know injustice when I see it!1 voteHello,

Ability to create prepaid labels via Click and Drop personal API
Currently, to create labels via a Royal Mail API requires an OBA, manifest creation and the shipments to be collected or dropped off at a sorting centre.
The personal Click & Drop API similarly allows the creation of orders, but not labels (without the above process). These orders then have to be manually clicked through the web interface to pay and print the shipping labels.
The idea is to bridge the gap in Royal Mail's APIs by extending the Click and Drop API to enable pre-paid labels to be created from personal Click and Collect API.
These labels would then…

Increasy the resolution of the labels
As for now when i print a RM label via Etsy it prints really well. That is same for RM website. However when using Click & Drop the resolution of the labels is significantly less and in some cases not readable.

make label printing less wasteful
The current printing format makes us waste a whole sheet of A4 label for something that could easily fit on 1/6 of a sheet.
Please change the label so that we can copy and paste it to suit our printing requirements.

revise information actually printed on postage label
After all the codes entered to generate postage none of the required numbers, ie: IOSS, The commodity code or the country of origin are actually printed on the postage label. Surely it is the destination country that requires these codes not Royal Mail
1 voteDear User,
Thank you for your suggestion. IOSS numbers are not to be printed anywhere on either shipping labels or CN documentation, they are only to be transmitted in electronic customs.
It is entirely correct IOSS numbers are not visible on either your shipping label or CN document. Please do not manually write IOSS numbers on your packages, this may cause your shipments to be delayed, or returned by the receiving country's customs agents.
HS codes are printed on the CN document, not the shipping label.
Kind regards,
