fix the bug to make shipping rules compatible with Amazon orders
Please fix the bug to make shipping rules compatible with Amazon orders. Initially when we first joined Click and Drop we could have postage automatically assigned to amazon orders. It hasn't worked for quite some time.
Original Working Example:
Shipping rule selected all orders with the shipping method 'Amazon Shipping - Std UK Dom_1' and applied the appropriate shipping method.Then amazon changed the text string being fed through with their orders. For example 'Amazon Shipping - Std UK Dom_1 | Ship By Date: Feb 23, 2023, 23:59:59'
This still worked because there was a partial string match on the first half of the text string. This was great, no issues, we could still run our original rules.However, amazon changed the text string again. Now the same shipping method had something like this: 'Amazon Shipping - Standard UK Domestic_1 | Ship By Date: May 28, 2024, 22:59:59'
As you can see the first part of the string no longer matches. The rule fails.
Solution: Despite each rule having an edit button on each of the store postage method strings, it doesn't work and the store postage method strings can't be changed and saved sucessfully. They can be edited but it doesn't save the changes. So the simple solution is to allow us to edit and save the strings meaning that the rules would recognise partial string matches and hey presto the function works as it should again. It in turn saves us time and money.
IMPORTANT: Additional strain on your DB system. Every single order that comes in via amazon from every vendor on your system creates a new database entry as a new shipping method. Fixing this problem may allow you to have a solution for this and in turn, eliminate the hundreds of thousands of new DB row entries being stored.

Duplicating deleted or refunded orders.
When deleting an order you system often re-creates the deleted order causing accidental purchases which then have to be refunded, once refunded you then add the refunded order back into the basket with postage applied causing yet another accidental purchase sending us both in circles unnecessarily. Fixing this could save much time and hassle for youself and your customers.

Please add the delivered DATE to the manifested orders status column.
At the moment, the tracking status for delivered items just shows as 'delivered', but it does not show the actual delivered date.
This would be so useful for an overview and finding out delivered date results for things like ebay cases.

Allow us to enter TARIC Additional Codes
Given it is now a legal requirement, since January 2022 to include certain TARIC Additional Codes for sending items to the EU for certain TARIC codes in order to pass import controls, please allow us to enter TARIC Additional Codes on our customs declarations.
I believe these go in Box 11 of the CN23. So allow me to generate CN23s for all orders regardless of value, and allow me to enter data into.box 11 of the CN23.
I'm fed up of my items being returned to sender because of failing import controls due to missing TARIC Additional Codes. I can't send any of my products to the EU because of the high return rate, as EU customs start enforcing the TARIC Additional code requirements.

Allow sending of email notifications after items are dispatched
Customers often ask me to resend the tracking info. There is no way to do this currently. If there was a simple click box to do this, it would be great.

Make the manifest smaller, its wasted paper.
Let's streamline the manifest; it's just wasted paper. Handing it over to the postman feels pointless since Royal Mail already has a digital copy. Once the collection driver scans it, it's just trash. Why not replace it with a barcode or 2D code on a label? Maybe 3 or 4 with all info in the codes? The driver or the drop-off point can scan it. We're moving towards a waste-free society, yet this manifest is unnecessarily large with too many spaces. A bunch of tracking codes serves no purpose. Postmen confirm these manifests are redundant once scanned. Let's make them smaller for now and aim to phase them out entirely in the digital age.

Detect Channel Islands postcodes and automatically set their destination to Jersey/Guernsey not Mainland
When orders from Ebay, Amazon and other channels come through to C&D via the API, it would be extremely useful if the destination country could automatically show as the relevant Jersey/Guernsey not Mainland UK, as the customs label does not automatically generate without this. Ebay orders and most amazon orders to Jersey and Guernsey appear as "mainland UK" but with Jersey or Guernsey postcodes.

Post Codes formatting errors
Please post code formatting errors, because post code entered like this: PP5 5XZ where double space is included generates errors.
So you will need to add filtering RegEx rules to handle this without generating errors. Also the lady on Royal Mail line 0345 2661 004 told me that the eBay customers often enters double city like London London which also generates some errors. I did not experienced any issues like this but address handling should be generally improved and as a developer I know this is easy and possible to achieve. Wondering why this is not done already.3 votes -
Senders Reference to be visible on invoice or invoicing reports
The invoice batches tracked parcels together the reports available only shows the tracking number RM have supplied making it impossible to reconcile against our own accounts. Senders Reference is supplied which is the reference we have for the order so believe this should be visible against the invoice somewhere.

Put 'Customer Name' in Bold Font on the Orders Grid
Up until recently, the pending order list displayed the customer name in a bold font, making it easy to see each customer at a glance. As of this week, the bold has been removed, blending all the information and making identifying customers at a glance very difficult.
Please reinstate the bolt font for the customer name; it makes no sense to remove it. Thank you.
2 votesThank you for your suggestion. We will consider this change for an upcoming release.

Switch over Order Number and Channel Ref on Dispatch Notes so relevant to the end user customer for comms and RM returns portal.
Currently on dispatch notes, the order number given is a Click and drop generated number that is not relevant or applicable to the end customer receiving goods . The Channel Ref is the actual end users (customers who purchased a product) order number and will match anything sent to them on emails . This is extremely confusing for the end user customer receiving the order , as the order number is completely irrelevant to them and its the channel reference that is their true order number. So when we ask the customer for their order number they give us a click and drop order number which is extremely inefficient to then have to trace an order via click and drop first. They are just the wrong way round and need to be switched over to help me as a retailer and the end user customer. I would also like the option not to have the click and drop number on the paperwork at all ,as it is not required to an end user customer and only serves to confuse. When you add a Royal Mail returns portal it asks the customer for their order number however they will enter the wrong order number if they look at their dispatch note.

Fix 'bring your label' feature, it doesn't work when re-booking collection
When re-booking collection or when adding multiple pre-paid items, it's not possible to add 'bring your label', it's a bug on your system.
Specifically, I was returning Nespresso capsules for recycling and could only add 'bring your label' to one out of 5 bags in my order.2 votes -
Make it easier to enter Recipient AIRN
I only realised that when you apply postage, if you view the contents, for some countries, you can enter the Recipient AIRN (tax ID number).
Odd that you cannot enter it when entering the package details only if you go to edit the contents.
Please make it more obvious and easier to find - I have been adding it to the address details until now because I did not spot this before.

please explain how new 'Auto Print' will operate with API
We're concerned to see you're discontinuing support for the 'Print Assist' integration. Despite your claim that you had previously let people know about the new 'Auto Print' introduction from 1/10/24, with only 2 weeks to go, yesterday was first time your announcement was made on the CnD website and we have not had any email notification prior to this.
We use the click and drop API and not the C&D desktop app. As there is no "automatic print" of created labels with the API integration available (like there was with the Dropbox integration) we retrieve and send a label pdf to Print Assist (Print Node) directly - this works reliably and is seamless in operation direct from our websites bespoke shopping cart backend.
With the existing API to both C&D and PrintAssist/Node, I can't see how your new auto print is going to provide the same functionality on it's own and with only 2 week to go - you have not allowed any time for businesses to develop and test a working solution as an alternative to those that have been operating reliably for years.
Please can you answer/explain the following as your documentation is lacking:
1/ Are you disabling the accounts on print assist/node from 1/10/24?
2/ With the new "Auto Print" system, will you be adding an equivalent to the old "print labels automatically" functionality that was implemented with Dropbox for use with API integrations?
3/ If you are disabling PrintAssist/Node accounts and not adding an API auto print option, how are API users meant to continue to print labels in a web connected system?
We can't help but feel that your mandatory need to install, support and use the desktop app to provide any auto printing functionality going forward is a step backwards, badly conceived and currently not going to allow the same compatibility or operation to API users.

When making a batch it would be good to have the option to change the name of it so on the batches page they can be differentiated easily and I can print the one I want.

Add 'Store Postage Method' to the API
Currently via the API, there is no way to tell Click and Drop which shipping method you intend for the order to be shipped. You are only able to setup rules based on price.
The 'Store Postage Method' is only currently able to be used for integrations which Royal Mail themselves have written. This is a strange practice and makes the API only half feasible.
Please add this or another new parameter so we can specify our postage method by name rather than price.

Make it easier to see the postage paid on orders
On the new Orders list, there is no option to see the postage paid. Even when you go into the order you no longer see it. It seems the only way to find out is to reprint the shipping label.
7 votesThank you for your suggestion.
Our team will begin working on implementing this feature in the near future. We will update this status when the feature is available in Click & Drop.

Per item postage costs from OBA on reporting
The reporting tool on the C&D page is great - it shows absolutely everything you need, except how much you have been charged to actually send the item.
I appreciate that the 2 systems, C&D and OBA invicing are separate, but if the C&D system is able to show you which Sales Order an item is attributed to, is there not a mechanism by which you can attach the cost of sending each item to the report?
The report we use is: https://business.parcel.royalmail.com/reports/manifested-orders
The issue we have is that we are contracted to supply Business 2 Buesiness, and as such we charge on postage rates at cost. We need to be able to run a report which shows the parcels we sent on behalf of our clients, and the amount we were charged by the RM for each item.
And while I appreciate that the rates are clearly shown in our account, the surcharges vary across the year, depending on peak times within the delivery network, so these rates will vary.
When I head into a Post Office, I'm handed a receipt with 20 parcels detailed on it, along with tracking info and the cost per parcel. Surely the Royal Mail should be able to run a similar report, either from the OBA or import the information back into the Click&Drop service. It seems very odd that neither system is able to work hand in hand with the other, to offer this joined up approach to reporting for the businesses that use your services.

Click and Drop - Unable to Edit Currency
It would be helpful to be able to edit the currency for an order when entered incorrectly. All other aspects of overseas order can be edited, but not the currency. I have to delete the order and re-enter with correct currency.
