In this weeks video I take you through how I ship orders for my small business using Royal Mail Click & Drop, and a Royal Mail Hack which has helped us a lot! Hopefully you will also find it helpful if you are a fellow small business owner, whether you have an Etsy shop or your own website or both!

I run a small business and always use click and drop second class and i didn't know about this hack! Amazing thank you so much!

[Sooz]

Thank you so much - you have helped me to see that this is what I need to do in my small business. I would much rather drop the parcel off - rather than wait in for the postie to collect it from me...Thank you so much for all of the tips. Liked and subscribed x

[anjaligorde]

this is really helpful especially for a beginner like me. thank you

[darussianping]

Very good video i am selling online and having to go to post office is a nightmare. They are annoyed i am annoyed so looking for a solution. What kind of printer do you use? Thx

[spirituallyflexy]

Putting the code into track and trace has sadly never worked for me with 1st class or international standard shipping so I've always assumed it couldn't be done, I'll need to figure it out as it would come in very handy when international orders take weeks during Christmas.

Hi, there is an easier way to do this. I you go to your reports section and then select despatched orders, all your orders and their tracking codes are visible. All you need to do is click on the tracking code, as it is a link to track the item, it will then advise you what stage your parcel is at in the delivery process but only 48 tracked or 24 hour tracked will give you detailed reports. If sending via signed for it only advises if delivered or not. No need to regenerate label. Debs x

are they standard glass jars for the candles? eek, I hope they don't explode.

[AmysMakeupBox]

Hi!! Thank you so much for this video, so helpful! I have a quick q if that’s ok! If you click on more than one order on click and drop, then it takes you onto the “package size” page can you change it for every order or will it be for all of them? Thinking ahead if 10 orders need large letter and 20 need small parcel! I hope this makes sense! Thank you

Any way of un deleting accidentally deleted batches in royal mail app ?

[lindabrickley]

Thank you so much this as really helped

[bypelcia]

Great tip with tracking - thank you for that! How do you manage to just drop the parcels of with click and drop? I still have to wait in the queue and literally she weighs and checks each parcel. My post office lady is actually the worst and she will pick up on everything!

[melneisler-dickinson-wfot]

I have always used a fullfiment company but it's getting costly so I have just signed up to click and drop. Am I right in thinking if it's integrated with your store the label will auto populate the address etc, I see there is an option to auto print too ? What happens if a customer bought 20 items do we just take on the cost if it's over 2kg and will the label adjust to the bigger size ?

Also on set up of click and drop it says add products do we need to do this ?
.
You also mention a royal mail shipping bag, where did you get that

Thanks

Thanks

Please may I ask - could you tell me what shop did you buy your white units in the back ground, it’s something I have been searching forever to find

[alisohail]

Hi,
Can you please help me by telling me that how I can put the quantity and product name on the 4*6 size label. because I have seen a label which shows the product name and quantity on the label.
Thanks

[withlovebyads]

Thank you for this Georgina; it was really helpful 🤍 When you talked about the Royal Mail business account and building up a credit score etc. Does that mean they don’t consider your own personal score; it has to be a business one? Asking because if someone is just starting out and has only just opened a business bank account how would they get around this?

Also, do you by any chance have a UK link for the label printer that you would recommend as the link attached is an American one. I love that you don’t need to use ink for it. Thank you xx

Thank you for this informative video! I have a quick question regards integrating click and drop with a Shopify store. Once you have followed all the instructions and connected the C&D account with your store, do you have to make any changes to the shipping settings in your Shopify backend? Especially if some of your products weigh over 2kg and you use another courier service to dispatch them items.

Thanks for sharing your amazing knowledge, recommend a sustainable packaging company for you called SR Mailing

[KarlTyson]

Thank you for all this info! 😊 Do you know if the Royal Mail hack works for a second class letter? Or is it only small parcel? As my items are only going to be small and fit in a bubble mailer
