Improve Click & Drop
Click and drop is becoming infuriating.
Despite sending the same size of package with the same postage I have to click through too may items, surely it should be possible to create a default item profile including the payment options.
The payment process keeps defaulting almost everytime - it partially lands then goes to an error page.
And often the postage labels don't download, I have to go back, search for the order and re-generate the labels.
This is adding so much time an annoyance to running my business.1 vote -
Update the API specification for the customsDeclarationCategory update
We received a notice from you about the changes to the customs declaration category, see below.
When I go the the Products page as suggested, I can see there are two new categories: Commercial Sale of Goods (B2B) and E-commerce Goods (B2C).
When I look at the current specification, it is still version 1.0.0.
In the customsDeclarationCategory field, these are missing.
Now, I wonder how to set these fields and if they are required.API: https://api.parcel.royalmail.com/
API spec: https://api.parcel.royalmail.com/doc/v1/click-and-drop-api-v1.yamlCould you please update your API specification to reflect the changes?
If you cannot do that, please let me know what the new values are that are accepted.----------------- Royal Mail message below -----------------
We recently notified you about a legislative change affecting item
declaration categories.As part of this change, the 'Sale of goods' and 'Mixed' declaration
categories will soon no longer be valid. Using either of these
categories will prevent your orders from being processed, so any
products in your catalogue currently assigned to them will need to be
updated before this takes effect.To help you do this, we have added a migration tool to the Products
page:
https://business.parcel.royalmail.com/productsThis tool will also update your default customs package contents
declaration category if it is currently set to 'Sale of goods' or
'Mixed'. If your product declaration categories already meet the
updated requirements, the tool will not be displayed.We received a notice from you about the changes to the customs declaration category, see below.

Remove Frames from the payment details page
When I go to the payment confirmation page, I need to print this off for a breakdown of the VAT charges etc - as that is not provided elsewhere for the Personal Account.
This has to be printed landscape in order to fit on an A4 page (at 60% scaling!)
However, because you use frames (with a scrollable section for the individual orders) the printout no longer shows every line item - only the visible ones.
Better still would be an ability to download an invoice from the payment!

create an order page May 2026
So we have now been forced to use the new page layout without the problems being sorted.
The major one, which is VERY annoying, is that the Trading Name dropdown is at the BOTTOM of the page. This is important because, when you change it to a different one to default and then chose "create another" the Trading Name goes back to default!!
The only benefit to the old page (not the old old page just removed but the good old page which had create another and the name stayed put) was that the name stayed put.
With the trading name at the bottom we have to scroll to the bottom every time we do one as we can't trust what it is going to be on.
This needs to be at the top, even if it is just a statement and not the dropdown box so we only need to scroll down if the statement shows the wrong trading name.
This needs doing urgently so i will be putting in a new "feedback" to so it doesn't get lost on this thread.

Price of postage
Once I have an order and want to select a postage service there are no prices?!?
How do I choose a service if I can't see the price? Would you go to a shop and pay whatever the shop decides?
The prices fpor services might differ for each account but YOU know all that information so YOU can put it in.

Postcode address search
I have to write in an entire address to pull it out of a drop down menu. That's a rubbish feature. You may not know this but the UK is broken up into postcode. There are only a few addresses in each so why don't you let the use put in a post code and select the address froma drop down.
If you are going to have a "just start typing" search, then make the search results match what's typed in. I can type 70% of a full address and the results drop down still contains pointless way off results.
It's as if no one in the development team has entered an "order"

IOSS PDDP - Poland an Issue
For some reason today when shipping items to Poland, I can only set the customs section to DDU or IOSS DDU.
This means that I have collected the IOSS VAT (correctly) but the customer will still have to pay the customs duty. Is it just Poland for some reason - yesterday I could select DDP (duty paid) for EU countries but not sent anything to Poland since this came in.
In any case, why are Royal Mail then charging a £1 handling fee on top - what exactly are they handling?
It is a nightmare as I have collected extra from the customer to cover the flat EU customs fee (€3 plus the £1 handling fee). Now I feel as though I need to repay the €3 back to him.
Presumably the Royal Mail £1 handling fee will not cover the Polish postal system handling fee for collecting the customs.....

I'm getting regular 'unexpected problem' errors
I'm ending up with a lot of "Sorry, an unexpected problem occurred." when I try to print labels, or when the purchase is completed. They started to become regular occurance since the last update.

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 customers8 votes -
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 successfully generate a label?
I think that is:
- Feedback that the API spec does not match the example
- A question on what is required as guidance.
Thank you.

Return 7 day sales graph
Please return the 7 day sales graph as it use to be. it was a KEY tool that many sellers used to monitor daily and weekly sales across multiple platforms.
The new 'Dashboard' is a disaster. The data is not even close to accurate and the 7 day "Sales" graph shows orders dispatched not sale made.
We were told in March that date accuracy would be fixed very soon and a new graph would be implemented but that was over 3 months ago.
"We are working on resolving the data issue and this should be fixed very soon.......... we will also soon be adding another tab which will display the numbers of new orders received as well."

Prioritise the fixing of the software on the parcel lockers which is causing parcels not to enter Royal Mails network
I'm on my 3rd parcel; I cannot begin to tell you how annoyed I am £200 out of pocket at this moment in time and not seeing any positive action from RMG.
I only use you because my customers request Royal Mail via ebay otherwise I'd be using someone else.

Come up with a sensible way of implements a new security policy
You locked me out of my account and said I received an email with instructions to report password for to be security policy.
I did not receive an email. Forgot issues did not result in an email either.
I then had to sit on the phone for 40 mins before I could speak to someone who sent me a password reset email which arrive instantly.
Why on earth would you not just ask the user to change the password when they log on?
You have implemented this in such a way that there are more ways for it to do wrong and or a bizarre way to do it.
If you want better security, don't increase passwords to 12 characters - allow the user to switch on 2FA like every other modern business service.
Denying access to a service is not a great way to be customer-focused is it? Especially when there are other way to achieve the same which avoid that.
Please think about this next time.

Check that house number or name is present
Sometimes I get a package returned to me because the house number was never given by the customer during checkout. Shopify picks this up but Click & Drop does not.
If I don't check for potential address errors in Shopify beforehand, the label will get printed.
Why can't Click & Drop warn me if it suspects that an order is missing vital address information like this?

Issues with payment of label
Sometimes after importing orders via .csv and following the payment screen after applying postage it will come back with 'sorry there has been an error' .. please retry.
You cannot retry it does not work.
When looking at the orders they are all listed as FAILED however you can go into each order, one at a time and reprint label and it will oblige. You cannot reprint labels for more than one item at a time when they are in this state.This has been bugging me for months as it takes plenty of unecessary time to manually select and reprint each shipping label.

Allow collection address to be entered manually when address not in lookup
Our new business address does not show up as an option in the collection address lookup, so we will never be able to arrange a collection through the portal, which is exceptionally inconvenient.
It would be great if we could enter a collection address manually. Or even allow partial addresses to be selected from the lookup, as the building number and street name for our address covers multiple properties but the lookup requires me to select a specific business at that address. Doing so would send the postie to the entirely wrong property/location so the collection booking feature is annoyingly redundant for us.

Add ‘tubes’ as a category on click& drop- as available on 'send an item'
I have a click & drop account which syncs with Shopify. We sell mainly prints in tubes, and until recently we were able to send these as a small parcel. Now the dims for small parcels are far too small, but there is no dedicated tubes category (which there is on the 'send an item' service). The only option to send a tube on click & drop is a large parcel for which the cost is ridiculous- around £28 (Vs ~£6 on 'send an item'). This seem to be an omission- can you PLEASE add this functionality/category? Sending via unregistered 'send an item' is not viable for more than 1 or 2 items all the order info needs inputting manually whereas this is integrated on click and drop.
Thankyou

Bring Back The Create Another Order Button on the Create Order Page
Following the recent update we have lost the Create Another Order button on the Create Order page. This slows the process of manually adding orders a lot as we have to go back into the create order page from the overview page every time.
2 votesThank you for your feedback.
We are currently working on adding this functionality to the new page. This page will be updated once the change is made.
Kind regards,
