Please could you think about having a 'average weight' for Large letters and Parcels
So this would be a 'game changer' for all small businesses using Click and Drop and struggling to make ends meet in 2019.
When you create Large Letter Labels, hundreds of them, we have to use our own Excel Spreadsheet to keep track of the average weight so that we don't accidentally put 2 500g large letters along with 40 25g large letters.. tipping it over 100g for ALL letters. We use a simple Excel sheet average formula (exactly what Click and Drop uses when you manifest) - But PLEASE incorporate it into click and drop as you go.. It's easy and could be added in a few hours coding. A live average weight (large letter and parcel) BEFORE you hit Manifest! Thousands of British Small Businesses spend millions on Click and Drop and this would mean a mistake on their part doesn't cost them dear and in the end be the difference between a business closing or keeping open. Nobody wins in that case.. Not the Business, Not Royal Mail, Not the staff. So please see if you can PLEASE have a LIVE Average Weight running on Large Letters and Parcels built into the Click and Drop Platform BEFORE you manifest... You'd be extremely popular if you did!! :)

They'll never do it.. this has been that way since DMO - I just manifest into separate groups so that the 'averaging' isn't done automatically to the wrong items.. on low value items that are very light I'll use CRL and BPL/BPR the larger/heavier items so they are kept out of the small weights...
