Probably like a few others on here. I currently sell in the UK and have a click & drop account. As most of my items are "small parcels" they tend to go Evri or RM.

 

There is however a massive opportunity for Shipstation (revenue) to capitalise on a really daft flaw in the RM system.

  • As a small seller, you sign up for a Click & Drop account (these can't be integrated with shipstation)
  • You sell more & realise what a time saver shipstation is
  • You apply for an OBA from Royal Mail (you need to send minimum 1000 parcels a year)
  • You then receive a quote from RM and see that as a business they charge you more than you pay click & drop (unless you are sending 10's of thousands of items)

It would be great much like the UPS that has been added to get RM via shipstation. I appreciate that the way RM works there may be a fair amount of added complexity as they work on average weights rather than banded weights or volumetric weights per shipment such as other providers.

On a very basic level I think a simple integration of the following service on 2kg and under could be a great addition (I'm sure from all the data you could see how many UK sellers are posting what sized items etc)
Royal Mail 24
Royal Mail 48

 

Thanks

Or alternatively, just add the standard RM pricing you'd get via Click and Drop
