I can't express how relived I am! I was extremely stressed about how shipping works since i'm new to all of this online business work. You've helped me so much, you went straight to the point, explained it well, showed us properly the process and helped us find out how to print labels as well. I was also looking for someone who was in the UK since most of the other videos were talking about post offices in the US. Thank you so much!
Wow! Thank you so much for this. The one thing i despise more than anything is going to the post office! Unfortunately the ladies that work there are really rude to me because I tend to have a lot of packages at a time. I am so excited to start doing this and not have to step foot in there again haha! Xx
Haha! My local post office counter is exactly the same! There's a few people who are lovely and process everything really fast with no trouble but the majority of them are clueless, have no idea how their own system works, take 3 hours to process 1 parcel and huff and puff every time I go in there. Thankfully we don't have to do it anymore! xx
@Lula Rocks I literally looked everywhere to see at what end you sync shopify. I keep trying to adjust settings at the shopify end. If Royal Mail are doing it all...do you put your own shipping amount manually in shopify? Thank you...
@@creativekingfisherplans That's how I do it. I don't know if there's an automated way to do it but I prefer manual because then I can control the prices myself.
Great video. Worth also noting that for 72p per package you can have up to five per day collected. Worth it if you have only one or live too far away from a post office.
Wow. My parents have their own business on Amazon and eBay and they use Click & Drop...but they make it look so hectic! I plan to start my own shop on Etsy and this video just helped me realise how easy it actually is. Thank you so much! Although, my parents drop their parcels off at our local depot because they would get processed on the same day. Very efficient and kinda nice to know that they have your parcels.
Thank you for this video! I’ve been wanting to look into an easier way of posting orders without the need of going to the post office. Very helpful and so easy! 💜
Thank you for taking the time to do this video! I'm fairly new to selling online and was looking for an easier way to post several parcels at once via Royal Mail without feeling terrible about causing a long queue in my small but busy local Post Office. I see their faces drop when I walk in with my boxes, but now they might even smile next time they see me because I'll be able to just drop and go! A big time saver. Your instructons in the video are easy to follow and you go through absolutely everything, including both national and international postage, customs labels and even what paper you use to print on and changing printer settings for smaller labels. I am also most grateful for seeing how to set up customer details/accounts and how to integrate the different selling platforms. I think this RM postage system is brilliant and I shall be using it very soon!
The girl in the video just does click and drop online but you can apply for an account for Click and drop, and pay once you reach £1000. I don't spend money on labels I have a laser printer (MUNBYN) just for 6 x 4 FREE labels from Royal Mail which I order online. Also If you have an account with Royal Mail they come and pick up your mail, as well as give you free labels. I also get my mail cheaper due to having an account. About 15p less on a 1st class large letter. The only thing I have to do is print a completed Manifest at the end of the day and print it off for the post person to scan. I also have a barcode at my front door that the post person has to scan as well as the manifest sheet. I pay for my post mostly monthly. once I reach a £1000 they activate payment and it is taken from my business accoount, so it is not always once a month it depends how busy I am. Hope this helps anyone
This is brilliant! I thought I was using Click & Drop, and I was using some version of it, but I was still having to enter every single order one at a time. This is amazing. That it all gets imported and then automatically creates the labels from that data - it will cut down my order processing time by a massive amount. Thanks so much Lucy Rocks... you rock!
Thank you so much for showing how this works! I've been putting it off for too long and have just signed up now to Click and Drop to make life easier now I have a toddler to manage alongside the business! Thanks again, fab video x
This was interesting, the post office seems so outdated and sadly our local post office has an off-licence inside? I'm not even sure if that is something Royal Mail allows but yeah? Imagine having to post letters with drunk people buying cheap booze early in the morning. I have one question, curious to know if there is any advantage of holding a "business" account with Royal Mail? How much does it cost etc.
I was feeling so overwhelmed after signing up to Click & Drop and this video has helped massively! Thank you so so much for taking the time to make this :)
This video has been a great guide, thank you so much! Please can you let us know how you would just print one label for one order that has come through? At the moment I am printing 4 labels per sheet like you mentioned, however it is all for the same order so I feel I am wasting all 3 other copies (labels). Thank you x
Is you printer printing the same label 4 times? When I have 1 order and chose 4 per page, it just prints 1 in the top left corner. You might be better off changing the label settings in click and drop rather than your printer and seeing if that works?
@@LulaRocks Thank you for getting back to me. Yes, my printer is printing the label 4 times. Would you know what I need to change the settings to in click and drop at all? X
Thank you so much for this guide- daunting was an understatement! I integrated click & drop and had no idea that now you essentially manage the dispatching & labels through that instead of Esty! Thank you!
This video is a life saver. Will be revamping my shipping process. Volume of orders went up and it takes so much time to pack and ship...There are little to no UK based videos. Thank you for this !
Hi sweetheart, thank You for super helpful video. My question is (maybe You'll know the answer) - how to add in/ link the shipping prices to the choppily so the costumer can see it and select the best option for them. Can't find this anywhere. Thank You so much for the help.
I'm so glad you found it helpful! I'm not 100% sure, but I think you have to pay to upgrade on Shopify to have Royal Mail's prices linked into it. Personally, I added all of my shipping rates in manually.
Do you ship out of U.K.? As I’ve just found out about IOSS 🙈 it’s all so complicated. What do You do? For the parcels out of U.K., do You just send it as a personal parcel or as a business (as it’s so complicated)
@@IngridaG Yes I ship from the UK! IOSS is fairly new so I'm still getting used to it. I'm not an expert but my understanding is that if you don't have an IOSS number, the customer pays tax when it's delivered. If you do have an IOSS number you have to collect the tax at the point of sale and then file it once a month.
I’m glad you found it helpful! If I recall correctly, the size I used in the video are mini but they are a little small for the labels. I now use C6 which fits the labels perfectly. You could try and get labels with 8 per page rather than 4 that may fit better. I hope that helps!
I can't tell you how easy and simple you made this, it's helped SO much! Thankyou for taking the time to make this video, account is all set up and ready to go and labels have been ordered :') I'm usually a drop and go person but I'm trying to stay away from the Post Office as much as a I can! Thankyou again xx
I’m so sorry, I didn’t get a notification for this comment so I’ve only just seen it! I’m so glad you found it helpful! How have you found it so far? Is it easier than drop and go? Xx
Oh no! If you can't do it on the Mac you should be able to change the settings on C&D, it's not as good if you're doing international shipping because it prints the customs labels separately (if I recall). Glad I could help though!
As a UK seller, do you have to supply a return address? I do not want to use my home address (privacy) but I have heard PO Boxes aren't allowed as an alternative due to UK/EU laws? I was wondering if there were any alternatives?
Unfortunately you do need some kind of return address. I’ve had parcels returned over the years so if my address wasn’t on there they would have been lost forever! I was under the impression that a PO Box is ok though so it’s worth looking into!
Very helpful, I've just opened my Business account with Royal Mail and connected it with Click and Drop. You don't have a business one, do you? It would be helpfull to explain how to work with their bags, labels and how important is to create a manifest in the end of a working day.
Unfortunately not, I have a personal account at the moment. I will be looking into opening a business account with them once/if COVID calms down a bit. At the moment, it's a bit too much for my little head to deal with!
I’m so thankful to have come across this video! It’s so informative and clear. As someone who wants to start their own online business sometime in the near future, this has well and truly saved me! I’ve been stressing out trying to figure it all out and reading so many different things😖 Thank you for this, so glad I came across your channel! ❤️
I'm glad it helped! You should be able to set up all of the shipping on Etsy or Shopify behind the scenes and then it will automatically show the correct shipping amount to the customers.
Great video - so helpful. I have one question, is there a way of removing the company despatch address of your business from the postage label? I cannot seem to find a way of doing it. I know you can do it when you input personal click and drop label putting everything in individually. Is there a way of removing it the way you did it?
@@LulaRocks Hey do you know if there is any additional paper work to do if shipping from UK to USA (Royal Mail Intl Delivery) besides filling the customs form? Anything related to state or federal taxes or import duties?
Through Click & Drop you can only choose A4 or 6x4 but you could try 6 labels per page in the printing settings. The sizing might be off because it will just scale down the 6x4 labels but you can try it!
If you are shipping internationally you will need a customs label to declare the items inside the parcel. If you choose to not use one then your parcel is unlikely to be cleared through customs and may get lost/returned to you. If you are shipping within the UK then you don't have to use a customs label :)
How do you get proof of postage? Only problem is I have had eBay notifying item has been dispatched and giving a number but sellers saying its been posted but actually it has not! Good video easy to understand unlike thousands of others that are completely wast of time, website is nice and neat and easy on the Eyes👍🤩
Your video as helped so much but I am currently stuck in setting up my shipping in Shopify. I am in the UK and I am finding it so hard to find someone to do a talk through on how to set up shipping with Shopify. There are so many US and Canada videos but they are not actually helpful for someone in the UK. Can you give any help or advice please???
Best video on Click and Drop on the internet! Thank you so much! One question - can you print out all your sales on an A4, and the product you sold be included also? If so, could you explain how? Thanks!
I'm glad you found it helpful! I don't have a special shipping printer, I actually use the same printer for my art prints & stickers! I wouldn't recommend it as a label printer on it's own because it's quite expensive for the printer & the inks are not cheap.
have you done any video on how to set up tax /vat on shopify store settings? what are main things to add in tax/vat settings section on shopify before launch please ?
Unfortunately I can’t really advise you on tax and vat really as I’m not great with that kind of stuff. I’d recommend getting in touch with a professional accountant if google doesn’t help. Sorry!
This is amazing! Many thanks for talking us through it. I realise it’s a few years old and possibly things may have been updated on their site. I have a Shopify and send roughly 150 orders each Xmas season (personalised and handwritten Santa Letters!), and it’s always a pain to have to hand write all their addresses on the packaging plus actually going to the post office every few days over the course of the ten week stint I write the Santa letters! I’ve given my head a good old shake and realised how much time I’m wasting! It’s time for me to update my entire shipping process 😂
HI! I'm new to using Shopify with click and drop and I was wondering, when you click on dispatched on Click and Drop what do you have to do on Shopify to notify the customer of the shipping update? And if you are using a shipping option with tracking number, how do customers get that info? :) Thank you so much!
Hi! I don't actually do it that way as I prefer to mark them as fulfilled on Shopify as I pack them so I'm not 100% sure. I think as long as you have checked the notification settings on Shopify and selected 'Mark orders as despatched on channel' in Click & Drop it should work but it's probably a good idea to test it out to check that it works!
Is this on click & drop? I don't create my products manually but I would assume you just add the product weight and not the box. Because if you sold 5 of an item the box weight would also be 5 times the amount. That's how I've always calculated my product weights from shopify.
Hello Lula, your video is very informative. I am happy I found it after trying to find out whether I can print on 4 labels per sheet! The only thing I would like to ask you is whether you have a way of printing a label on the label you want (choose the position) so not to waste my entire sheet. Hope this makes sense. Thank you again and keep up the good work!
Oooh yes! Instead of choosing 'generate label' you can choose 'generate label with custom positioning' and pick where you want the label to be. I do this when I re-use left over labels :)
Hey there! With Royal Mail Click & Drop, once you've created and paid for your postage, if you've chosen a tracked service, the tracking number will be generated automatically. You can usually find it on the label itself and in your Click & Drop order history. Just ensure you're selecting a service that offers tracking when creating your postage. Hope that helps! 😊
Thank you so much. This was so helpful. I have been going to the post office with all my parcels not knowing that this option was there. Plus I have a post box just at the end of my road. So another bonus. You’ve save me so much time! Ive subscribed to you also. x
Hi there, thanks for this video, it was very useful when trying to learn about Click and Drop. I'm in the process of setting it up with my shopify store, and it doesn't seem to be syncing my orders. They state that it's refreshed every 15-30 mins, but it's been longer than that and it's still showing nothing. I haven't had any new orders since I set Click and Drop up, so it's just orders made earlier today, but it just doesn't seem to be picking them up. Would you happen to know anything about what's going on? Thanks a lot for any help you might be able to give me
I have a feeling that it won’t pick up any existing orders when you sync your account so those would have to be entered manually. It might be worth leaving it overnight to see if they sync first though. Now that it’s synced, any new orders you place should filter over though!
@@LulaRocks Wow, thanks for the quick reply and for the info. I'll leave it for a few hours and see what happens. I need to get the postage sorted for collection in the morning so can't leave it overnight unfortunately. Hopefully all future orders are picked up. Thanks again for the great reply, I really appreciate it :)
Does the exact weight really matter for Royal Mail if I know I'm paying the correct postage? I use large letters and have a variety of products of varying weight but they're all
Yes, it's a similar thing to what I suggested at the time. I knew that 1 or 2 pins would always be under 30g so I didn't weigh them all individually, I just set them all as 30g. Now I do them all as 100g. I know that 1-3 pins is under 100g so I just pop them all as 100g without weighing. I just weigh any orders with 4 pins or more :) I once had someone at the post office tell me they couldn't accept it because my postage was wrong. I'd put 100g and it was around 60g. She argued with me until the manager came and told her it was fine because it's the same cost. That's the only time I had a problem and now I just use the post box and skip the post office counter anyway!
I was the same like Fleurell, completely stressed with the shipping merlarky and was wanting to use Royal Mail as my delivery service for my Etsy shop. Looking on UA-cam, most of these types of videos are from people who live outside the UK so it was nice to see your great video. im brand new to Etsy too so it was a relieve of how easy it was to create a drop and click account to link to my online shop to, thank you soo much for the video and hope your shop is going well too
I'm so glad you found it helpful! It saves so much time when shipping Etsy orders. I used to hand write the addresses and then queue at the post office for hours!
I don't know if it connects with Wix, I'm sorry! I think I showed the list of sites on the video? I would suggest creating an account and looking at the list of sites you can integrate with if you can't see it on the video.
Very helpful video thank you. We did ours for the first time today and got the cold shoulder from the guy we usually go to at the post office. Think it might be taking his job away. How are you doing proof of postage? If you want this you still have to go in to the post office
Thank you so much for this video :) by any chance could you do a video on putting a product on Etsy and how to find the shipping price/ what to charge? Thanks again, it’s been super helpful. I’m hoping to open my shop this year and it’s so good having this type of content xx
Heya! Just wanted to say a thank you because this was exactly what i was looking for. Concise and to the point info about what i wanted. Very much appreciation Thank you!
Yes everything will need to be weighed to begin with, however, if you went to the post office and paid over the counter they will weigh it for you and then you'll know how much it weighs for when you do it online, just a suggestion! Once you know the rough weights for things you won't need to weigh every single parcel.
Super helpful 👍 after you've put it in the post box, do royal mail send you a confirmation once they've processed it? for example just a standard second hand large letter (not signed/recorded).
What a helpful video thank you! Just a quick question: I will be printing my labels with a label printer on a label roll (4 x 6) , so what option do I click when the PDF file comes up?
I've never used a label printer but I assume as long as you have set the labels up as 6 x 4 in click and drop you should just be able to go ahead and print once the PDF labels open!
Such a helpful video! I've been cutting out and sticking my labels on by hand for soooo long now! This is going to speed up my Click & Drops orders so much!
You have just made my life sooooooo much easier. I do my postage via Etsy but used to screenshot the labels, import them into the Avery label online design site and print from there. I didn't realise I could print direct from the label PDF........doh!
For notifying customers about shipment and tracking, this is linked to shopify? So do you then need to change settings in shopify to make these emails send to customers?
Unfortunately I don't know all the details on this. I choose to do mine manually in Shopify because I prefer it but you can set it up so that when you complete it in Royal Mail it will email customers through Shopify but you will need to change some settings and test it out.
Okey I’m sold, I’ve started selling on Shopify and was looking for a way to package my items in a professional way, I’ve had my first batch of orders and I’m over the moon about it but the thought of writting them all out by hand was so overwhelming, so this whole video really helped, plus I currently live right next to a Royal Mail post office so this works out perfectly. Now just to get my hands on a nice label printer and some paper and I’m off to go, wish me luck guys 😊
Thank you for this video. It's very helpful. I have a question if you don't mind, which sizes your box in 0.30 second. especially hight measure to fit a large letterbox? and also which company are you using for ordering the boxes? Thank you.
@@LulaRocks Many thanks. I solved and handled everything by following your information on the video. You are amazing.. Also, I will buy your pins about cocktails from you.. 😍
Thank you so much ! got a questions :D I live where i can get to delivery office literally with slippers haha and they have two separate mail boxes like integrated in the wall one says prepaid mail i believe another franked and some kind of pouches, i have no idea which one do i use and there is no one i could ask since its pretty much closed. Could someone help me out ?
I'm not 100% sure but I would guess it's the prepaid mail box if you've used Click & Drop to pay in advance. Have you tried contacting Royal Mail on their website or through email to check?
Hello :) - How do you get the weights to automatically come through on click and drop from etsy etc. - it does not show for me :( thank you in advance JD
I think the best way is to upload all of your products into click and drop along with their weights and all of the custom details. As long as the SKUs match what you have on Etsy, it should all pull through
Love this! I just signed up to Click & Drop, initially bit scared of it as little clueless on how the process works! Your video is so helpful! Like others, I would like to avoid my local post office as it seems we all receive mean treatment (esp us small business owners with loads to post!). The convenience of dropping small items through the post box appeals to me! Just a question, in regards of proof of postage is this something we should print off if we are avoiding the post office and just popping in post box (this is the standard post box right? Not the parcel post box is am seeing mentioned online? I am mainly posting large letter sized orders). Also, I set up my Click & Drop account after I received an order on Etsy - it seems to have integrated my Etsy shop as it says its verified but not picking up the order? Do I select the little truck on Etsy to create a postage label or just go on the Click & Drop site and manually enter the details via 'Create an order'? Thanks!
I'm so glad you found the video helpful! Click & Drop can be a little overwhelming at first, but once you get the hang of it, it really streamlines the shipping process. Proof of Postage: If you're dropping your items directly into a post box, you won't get a stamped proof of postage. You only get that if a member of staff at Royal Mail or the Post Office signs/stamps your parcel. Type of Post Box: You can use any standard post box for 'Large Letter' sized orders. There are also specific parcel post boxes for larger items. Just make sure your parcel fits through the slot. Etsy Integration: For Etsy orders to migrate automatically, they need to come in after you've integrated Etsy with Click & Drop. Any orders that you received on Etsy before the integration will have to be entered manually in the Click & Drop system or you can generate a label for those via the truck icon on Etsy. I hope this clears things up! Let me know if you have any more questions. 😊
@@LulaRocks Thank you so much for your detailed response! I sent my item via the post box - here's hoping everything will be ok! So in order for the item to be "covered" by Royal Mail (in case anything goes missing) - I will need a stamped proof of postage? So I can buy postage online but take items to post office - this way ask for proof of postage/get the print out (if I print it out) stamped?
Hi Thank you for info. I tried to put in post box i got phone to say i am not allowed to do this i have to put in Grey bag and close with white tag. So annoying now. Thanks Dr
Hi, that sounds like OBA which is different to click and drop. If you definitely used click and drop then it sounds like Royal Mail have gotten confused!
Thanks this was really helpful. I would love to use this service but I dont suppose it will be compatible with my brother label printer ql-700 which prints off small labels ? Can the labels be resized to fit 6.2cm (x continuous) width?
I know you can use label printers with it but I think the label size is 6x4! I would have a little google to see if anyone uses one with it. Hopefully you can 🤞🏻
Hi, I see your links on here about labels, Have you looked elsewhere for your labels and post boxes? what was the issue with the labels in your printer? can you tell me which ones didnt work and why so that I can avoid this issue if possible? how much do you pay for your boxes? Ive looked at Kite packaging who seem to be a competitive price for the smaller boxes and quantity? one final question, what is the maximum depth and width of the post box hole? is it around 22mm? Great video well executed. including the "ghost" printer...
Hi, thank you so much. Unfortunately I couldn't tell you the exact size of a postbox hole but I assume you could google it to find out or if all else fails you could go a measure one. I'm so sorry I don't remember the labels that didn't work as I've tried a lot but they were too thin and got jammed quite often. Box prices will vary depending on how many you purchase at a time. I tend to buy a minimum of 300 at a time to get a cheaper price and I get mine from Ideals UK.

If a person is unemployed and signing on, do they still need a business licence together with a re-sell licence BEFORE they sell anything on Shopify ?

Wow that’s crazy 🙈 I think with a business you get reduced prices for shipping and can also pay to have your post collected!
I just sent my first two orders, and it was made so much easier by this video. Thanks!
If you have one on how to figure out taxes when sending to non-UK people, that would be amazing...
so glad you found it helpful! I don't have one on taxes unfortunately! I'm not an accounting expert so I wouldn't want to give any wrong advice!
@@LulaRocks do you hire an accountant to do taxes for you?
@@nocksar744 not at the moment!
I was feeling so overwhelmed after signing up to Click & Drop and this video has helped massively! Thank you so so much for taking the time to make this :)
I'm so glad you found it helpful!
This video has been a great guide, thank you so much! Please can you let us know how you would just print one label for one order that has come through? At the moment I am printing 4 labels per sheet like you mentioned, however it is all for the same order so I feel I am wasting all 3 other copies (labels).
Thank you x
Is you printer printing the same label 4 times? When I have 1 order and chose 4 per page, it just prints 1 in the top left corner. You might be better off changing the label settings in click and drop rather than your printer and seeing if that works?
@@LulaRocks Thank you for getting back to me. Yes, my printer is printing the label 4 times. Would you know what I need to change the settings to in click and drop at all? X
@@humairahassan8067 you can try setting the label format to a4 and then labels per page: 4 and see if that works?
Thank you so much for this guide- daunting was an understatement! I integrated click & drop and had no idea that now you essentially manage the dispatching & labels through that instead of Esty! Thank you!
I'm so glad you found it helpful!
This video is a life saver. Will be revamping my shipping process. Volume of orders went up and it takes so much time to pack and ship...There are little to no UK based videos. Thank you for this !
You are so welcome! I’m so happy you found it helpful 😘
Hi sweetheart, thank You for super helpful video. My question is (maybe You'll know the answer) - how to add in/ link the shipping prices to the choppily so the costumer can see it and select the best option for them. Can't find this anywhere. Thank You so much for the help.
I'm so glad you found it helpful! I'm not 100% sure, but I think you have to pay to upgrade on Shopify to have Royal Mail's prices linked into it. Personally, I added all of my shipping rates in manually.
Do you ship out of U.K.? As I’ve just found out about IOSS 🙈 it’s all so complicated. What do You do? For the parcels out of U.K., do You just send it as a personal parcel or as a business (as it’s so complicated)
@@IngridaG Yes I ship from the UK! IOSS is fairly new so I'm still getting used to it. I'm not an expert but my understanding is that if you don't have an IOSS number, the customer pays tax when it's delivered. If you do have an IOSS number you have to collect the tax at the point of sale and then file it once a month.
Thank you! 🙏 how do you do that? (Collect tax)
These are the types of videos I like to see. Straight forward and to the point. Thank you x
Thank you so much! I hope it was helpful!
@@LulaRocks It was, thanks x
This is going to be so much better than queuing in the post office every day! Thanks Lula! God bless you! xxx
I'm so glad! xx
Thank you for this video. Really thorough and beautifully shot. Massively appreciated. The products in your store are lovely too!
Aw thank you so much! I really hope you found it helpful!
Thank you for the informative video, what size is your small boxes? I have bought c7 but I think they are too small for the labels 🤦♀️
I’m glad you found it helpful! If I recall correctly, the size I used in the video are mini but they are a little small for the labels. I now use C6 which fits the labels perfectly. You could try and get labels with 8 per page rather than 4 that may fit better. I hope that helps!
Thank you! This took me like 3 days to work out and your video was a massive help both in terms of the process and also just to relax :)
I'm so glad it was helpful!
This was the only video that provided the detailed information that I needed on Click and Drop. Thank you!
Yay, I'm so glad you found it helpful!
I can't tell you how easy and simple you made this, it's helped SO much! Thankyou for taking the time to make this video, account is all set up and ready to go and labels have been ordered :') I'm usually a drop and go person but I'm trying to stay away from the Post Office as much as a I can! Thankyou again xx
I’m so sorry, I didn’t get a notification for this comment so I’ve only just seen it! I’m so glad you found it helpful! How have you found it so far? Is it easier than drop and go? Xx
Lula Rocks, I’m printing all my labels off right now 👍🏼
Thanks so much. I struggle with social anxiety so going into the post office is a last resort for me. I can’t wait to try this
I'm so glad you found it helpful!
Great tips. But what if you want to use another courier for certain parcels. I use My Hermes for UK medium packages as they're much cheaper.
Hey, check out the FAQ in the description for more info ☺️
This video is so helpful. Thank you 💜 I ordered the labels. The only thing my MacBook isn’t given me the correct settings to print 4 to a page 🤦🏾♀️
Oh no! If you can't do it on the Mac you should be able to change the settings on C&D, it's not as good if you're doing international shipping because it prints the customs labels separately (if I recall). Glad I could help though!
Super helpful, I'm just getting started and this cut through a lot of the potential confusion. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
You are very welcome! I’m so glad you found it helpful!
As a UK seller, do you have to supply a return address? I do not want to use my home address (privacy) but I have heard PO Boxes aren't allowed as an alternative due to UK/EU laws?
I was wondering if there were any alternatives?
Unfortunately you do need some kind of return address. I’ve had parcels returned over the years so if my address wasn’t on there they would have been lost forever! I was under the impression that a PO Box is ok though so it’s worth looking into!
this has helped me so much omg new small business and i was stressed about shipping bcs royal mail is a pain in the butt sometimes thank you so much!
I’m glad it was helpful!
This helped me SO MUCH i was doing it all wrong before and this has saved me from bursting into tears ha! Thankyou! xxx
I'm so glad it was helpful!
OMG this video was soooo helpful! You explained everything so well. Thank you! Please make some more content like this xx
I'm so glad it was helpful!!!
Very helpful, I've just opened my Business account with Royal Mail and connected it with Click and Drop. You don't have a business one, do you? It would be helpfull to explain how to work with their bags, labels and how important is to create a manifest in the end of a working day.
Unfortunately not, I have a personal account at the moment. I will be looking into opening a business account with them once/if COVID calms down a bit. At the moment, it's a bit too much for my little head to deal with!
I’m so thankful to have come across this video! It’s so informative and clear. As someone who wants to start their own online business sometime in the near future, this has well and truly saved me! I’ve been stressing out trying to figure it all out and reading so many different things😖 Thank you for this, so glad I came across your channel! ❤️
Thank you so much for all of your kind words 😘😘😘
That's great thank you. Does the integrated despatch label option have variables from Etsy?
I haven't used the Etsy labels so I'm really sorry but I actually don't know the answer to this question!
What brand and size stickers do you use? Thank you for this tutorial!
Check out the FAQ for all the details on the supplies I use ☺️
Great video !! how do you show on shopify or etsy how much the customer will be charged for shipping international purchases?
I'm glad it helped! You should be able to set up all of the shipping on Etsy or Shopify behind the scenes and then it will automatically show the correct shipping amount to the customers.
Great video - so helpful. I have one question, is there a way of removing the company despatch address of your business from the postage label? I cannot seem to find a way of doing it. I know you can do it when you input personal click and drop label putting everything in individually. Is there a way of removing it the way you did it?
I'm glad it's helping! I'm pretty sure you have to keep the return address on there in case the parcel comes back unfortunately :(
This video is incredibly informative and helpful, Lucy. Your style is so friendly and easy to follow
So glad you find it helpful Pete! Thank you so much for the lovely feedback!
Massive massive help thank you so much. Saved me the pain and hours of research and doubt.
I'm so glad you found it helpful!
@@LulaRocks Hey do you know if there is any additional paper work to do if shipping from UK to USA (Royal Mail Intl Delivery) besides filling the customs form? Anything related to state or federal taxes or import duties?
I ship most of my parcels to the US and have never had to fill out any additional paperwork. Just the customs label ☺️
@@LulaRocks thanks very much
Hello, can you do 6 labels per page, or is it just 4 with the 6x4 I'm the click and collect?
Through Click & Drop you can only choose A4 or 6x4 but you could try 6 labels per page in the printing settings. The sizing might be off because it will just scale down the 6x4 labels but you can try it!
What’s an custom label for? And do you need it or can you just have the regular shipping label?
If you are shipping internationally you will need a customs label to declare the items inside the parcel. If you choose to not use one then your parcel is unlikely to be cleared through customs and may get lost/returned to you. If you are shipping within the UK then you don't have to use a customs label :)
How do you get proof of postage?
Only problem is I have had eBay notifying item has been dispatched and giving a number but sellers saying
its been posted but actually it has not!
Good video easy to understand unlike thousands of others that are completely wast of time, website is nice and neat and easy on the Eyes👍🤩
I'm so glad you found it helpful! Please check the description and FAQs for more info☺️
Your video as helped so much but I am currently stuck in setting up my shipping in Shopify. I am in the UK and I am finding it so hard to find someone to do a talk through on how to set up shipping with Shopify. There are so many US and Canada videos but they are not actually helpful for someone in the UK. Can you give any help or advice please???
I'm not an expert but I've added it to my list for future tutorials :)
Best video on Click and Drop on the internet! Thank you so much! One question - can you print out all your sales on an A4, and the product you sold be included also? If so, could you explain how? Thanks!
Thank you so much! You would need to do that from your sales platform I think!
Love your channel ! I am just starting a little business myself ! you inspire me. thanks
Oh that's so sweet of you, thank you so much! Good luck with your business venture!

I'm so glad it was helpful and saved you time! Click & Drop is so quick once you get the hang of it!
Very nice and helpful, could you please tell me what brand of your printer? please
I'm glad you found it helpful! I don't have a special shipping printer, I actually use the same printer for my art prints & stickers! I wouldn't recommend it as a label printer on it's own because it's quite expensive for the printer & the inks are not cheap.
@@LulaRocks i c .... anyways thanks again for this content' it really make the world a lot easier ^^"
Have you ever used a thermal printer to process your shipping labels?
Not yet but it’s definitely something I plan to look into eventually! I’m pretty sure it will save time and money!
This is incredibly useful, thank you!! I'm about to launch my Etsy business and was still unsure about how to do this.
Glad it was helpful!
have you done any video on how to set up tax /vat on shopify store settings? what are main things to add in tax/vat settings section on shopify before launch please ?
Unfortunately I can’t really advise you on tax and vat really as I’m not great with that kind of stuff. I’d recommend getting in touch with a professional accountant if google doesn’t help. Sorry!
This is amazing! Many thanks for talking us through it.
I realise it’s a few years old and possibly things may have been updated on their site. I have a Shopify and send roughly 150 orders each Xmas season (personalised and handwritten Santa Letters!), and it’s always a pain to have to hand write all their addresses on the packaging plus actually going to the post office every few days over the course of the ten week stint I write the Santa letters!
I’ve given my head a good old shake and realised how much time I’m wasting!
It’s time for me to update my entire shipping process 😂
Oh I’m so glad it was helpful! I really hope this helps you to streamline your process! It really is super easy once it’s all set up 🥰
HI! I'm new to using Shopify with click and drop and I was wondering, when you click on dispatched on Click and Drop what do you have to do on Shopify to notify the customer of the shipping update? And if you are using a shipping option with tracking number, how do customers get that info? :)
Thank you so much!
Hi! I don't actually do it that way as I prefer to mark them as fulfilled on Shopify as I pack them so I'm not 100% sure. I think as long as you have checked the notification settings on Shopify and selected 'Mark orders as despatched on channel' in Click & Drop it should work but it's probably a good idea to test it out to check that it works!
what manifest? you don't need to include it?, Thanks for sharing it was helpful
I can't speak for OBA account users as I think they have to use a manifest, but for a personal account you don't need one :)
Great video and very helpful. Quick question, when I'm creating a Product and it asks for weight should I include the weight of the packaging in that?
Is this on click & drop? I don't create my products manually but I would assume you just add the product weight and not the box. Because if you sold 5 of an item the box weight would also be 5 times the amount. That's how I've always calculated my product weights from shopify.
Thank you so much for this video! I’m starting my business really soon and was so confused on the shipping labels. Thank you! 🙏
Glad it was helpful! Good luck for your business!
Hello Lula, your video is very informative. I am happy I found it after trying to find out whether I can print on 4 labels per sheet! The only thing I would like to ask you is whether you have a way of printing a label on the label you want (choose the position) so not to waste my entire sheet. Hope this makes sense. Thank you again and keep up the good work!
Oooh yes! Instead of choosing 'generate label' you can choose 'generate label with custom positioning' and pick where you want the label to be. I do this when I re-use left over labels :)
How do you get the tracking numbers?
Hey there! With Royal Mail Click & Drop, once you've created and paid for your postage, if you've chosen a tracked service, the tracking number will be generated automatically. You can usually find it on the label itself and in your Click & Drop order history. Just ensure you're selecting a service that offers tracking when creating your postage. Hope that helps! 😊
Thank you so much. This was so helpful. I have been going to the post office with all my parcels not knowing that this option was there. Plus I have a post box just at the end of my road. So another bonus. You’ve save me so much time! Ive subscribed to you also. x
Aw thank you so much lovely! I'm so glad that I could help you out! x
Hi there, thanks for this video, it was very useful when trying to learn about Click and Drop. I'm in the process of setting it up with my shopify store, and it doesn't seem to be syncing my orders. They state that it's refreshed every 15-30 mins, but it's been longer than that and it's still showing nothing. I haven't had any new orders since I set Click and Drop up, so it's just orders made earlier today, but it just doesn't seem to be picking them up. Would you happen to know anything about what's going on? Thanks a lot for any help you might be able to give me
I have a feeling that it won’t pick up any existing orders when you sync your account so those would have to be entered manually. It might be worth leaving it overnight to see if they sync first though. Now that it’s synced, any new orders you place should filter over though!
@@LulaRocks Wow, thanks for the quick reply and for the info. I'll leave it for a few hours and see what happens. I need to get the postage sorted for collection in the morning so can't leave it overnight unfortunately. Hopefully all future orders are picked up. Thanks again for the great reply, I really appreciate it :)
Does the exact weight really matter for Royal Mail if I know I'm paying the correct postage? I use large letters and have a variety of products of varying weight but they're all
Yes, it's a similar thing to what I suggested at the time. I knew that 1 or 2 pins would always be under 30g so I didn't weigh them all individually, I just set them all as 30g. Now I do them all as 100g. I know that 1-3 pins is under 100g so I just pop them all as 100g without weighing. I just weigh any orders with 4 pins or more :) I once had someone at the post office tell me they couldn't accept it because my postage was wrong. I'd put 100g and it was around 60g. She argued with me until the manager came and told her it was fine because it's the same cost. That's the only time I had a problem and now I just use the post box and skip the post office counter anyway!
Can you even put International shipping boxes in the post box outside x
You can indeed!!! It's the greatest! x
I was the same like Fleurell, completely stressed with the shipping merlarky and was wanting to use Royal Mail as my delivery service for my Etsy shop. Looking on UA-cam, most of these types of videos are from people who live outside the UK so it was nice to see your great video. im brand new to Etsy too so it was a relieve of how easy it was to create a drop and click account to link to my online shop to, thank you soo much for the video and hope your shop is going well too
I'm so glad you found it helpful! It saves so much time when shipping Etsy orders. I used to hand write the addresses and then queue at the post office for hours!
Hi Lula, just wondering which label printer do you recommended? and can you use a normal printer for the time being? thanks
Hey! Please check the description and FAQs for more info on printers☺️
Can I use Royal mail click & drop with any website (wix) ?
I don't know if it connects with Wix, I'm sorry! I think I showed the list of sites on the video? I would suggest creating an account and looking at the list of sites you can integrate with if you can't see it on the video.

I'm so glad to hear that it was helpful!
Thank you for this! If I’m sending out A5 prints do I need to buy scales to weigh one piece of paper packaged up?
Yes everything will need to be weighed to begin with, however, if you went to the post office and paid over the counter they will weigh it for you and then you'll know how much it weighs for when you do it online, just a suggestion! Once you know the rough weights for things you won't need to weigh every single parcel.
Hi, great video. What kind of printer do you have? Is it one that specifically does labels or is it just a standard printer? Thanks

Just a quick question: I will be printing my labels with a label printer on a label roll (4 x 6) , so what option do I click when the PDF file comes up?
I've never used a label printer but I assume as long as you have set the labels up as 6 x 4 in click and drop you should just be able to go ahead and print once the PDF labels open!
Perfect! Thank you! All the best for your business.... I am also hoping to start soon!

Hi my first time here and I so happy to fund it. I would like a video how you do the taxes from etsy. Thanks keep on
Great suggestion! Taxes are a tricky one though and I wouldn't want to give any incorrect information because i'm not a trained accountant :(
For notifying customers about shipment and tracking, this is linked to shopify? So do you then need to change settings in shopify to make these emails send to customers?
Unfortunately I don't know all the details on this. I choose to do mine manually in Shopify because I prefer it but you can set it up so that when you complete it in Royal Mail it will email customers through Shopify but you will need to change some settings and test it out.
Okey I’m sold, I’ve started selling on Shopify and was looking for a way to package my items in a professional way, I’ve had my first batch of orders and I’m over the moon about it but the thought of writting them all out by hand was so overwhelming, so this whole video really helped, plus I currently live right next to a Royal Mail post office so this works out perfectly.
Now just to get my hands on a nice label printer and some paper and I’m off to go, wish me luck guys 😊
I'm so glad it was helpful! Good luck to you!!!!

Thank you so much ! got a questions :D I live where i can get to delivery office literally with slippers haha and they have two separate mail boxes like integrated in the wall one says prepaid mail i believe another franked and some kind of pouches, i have no idea which one do i use and there is no one i could ask since its pretty much closed. Could someone help me out ?
I'm not 100% sure but I would guess it's the prepaid mail box if you've used Click & Drop to pay in advance. Have you tried contacting Royal Mail on their website or through email to check?
Hello :) - How do you get the weights to automatically come through on click and drop from etsy etc. - it does not show for me :( thank you in advance JD
I think the best way is to upload all of your products into click and drop along with their weights and all of the custom details. As long as the SKUs match what you have on Etsy, it should all pull through
I have over 3000 SKU's :( Well I better crack on with it then :) thank you for your response much appreciated @@LulaRocks
Love this! I just signed up to Click & Drop, initially bit scared of it as little clueless on how the process works! Your video is so helpful! Like others, I would like to avoid my local post office as it seems we all receive mean treatment (esp us small business owners with loads to post!). The convenience of dropping small items through the post box appeals to me! Just a question, in regards of proof of postage is this something we should print off if we are avoiding the post office and just popping in post box (this is the standard post box right? Not the parcel post box is am seeing mentioned online? I am mainly posting large letter sized orders). Also, I set up my Click & Drop account after I received an order on Etsy - it seems to have integrated my Etsy shop as it says its verified but not picking up the order? Do I select the little truck on Etsy to create a postage label or just go on the Click & Drop site and manually enter the details via 'Create an order'? Thanks!
I'm so glad you found the video helpful! Click & Drop can be a little overwhelming at first, but once you get the hang of it, it really streamlines the shipping process.
Proof of Postage: If you're dropping your items directly into a post box, you won't get a stamped proof of postage. You only get that if a member of staff at Royal Mail or the Post Office signs/stamps your parcel.
Type of Post Box: You can use any standard post box for 'Large Letter' sized orders. There are also specific parcel post boxes for larger items. Just make sure your parcel fits through the slot.
Etsy Integration: For Etsy orders to migrate automatically, they need to come in after you've integrated Etsy with Click & Drop. Any orders that you received on Etsy before the integration will have to be entered manually in the Click & Drop system or you can generate a label for those via the truck icon on Etsy.
I hope this clears things up! Let me know if you have any more questions. 😊
@@LulaRocks Thank you so much for your detailed response! I sent my item via the post box - here's hoping everything will be ok! So in order for the item to be "covered" by Royal Mail (in case anything goes missing) - I will need a stamped proof of postage? So I can buy postage online but take items to post office - this way ask for proof of postage/get the print out (if I print it out) stamped?
Hi Thank you for info.
I tried to put in post box i got phone to say i am not allowed to do this i have to put in Grey bag and close with white tag.
So annoying now.
Thanks
Dr
Hi, that sounds like OBA which is different to click and drop. If you definitely used click and drop then it sounds like Royal Mail have gotten confused!
Thanks this was really helpful. I would love to use this service but I dont suppose it will be compatible with my brother label printer ql-700 which prints off small labels ?
Can the labels be resized to fit 6.2cm (x continuous) width?
I know you can use label printers with it but I think the label size is 6x4! I would have a little google to see if anyone uses one with it. Hopefully you can 🤞🏻
Hi, I see your links on here about labels, Have you looked elsewhere for your labels and post boxes?
what was the issue with the labels in your printer? can you tell me which ones didnt work and why so that I can avoid this issue if possible?
how much do you pay for your boxes? Ive looked at Kite packaging who seem to be a competitive price for the smaller boxes and quantity?
one final question, what is the maximum depth and width of the post box hole? is it around 22mm?
Great video well executed. including the "ghost" printer...
Hi, thank you so much. Unfortunately I couldn't tell you the exact size of a postbox hole but I assume you could google it to find out or if all else fails you could go a measure one. I'm so sorry I don't remember the labels that didn't work as I've tried a lot but they were too thin and got jammed quite often. Box prices will vary depending on how many you purchase at a time. I tend to buy a minimum of 300 at a time to get a cheaper price and I get mine from Ideals UK.
Very clear, helpful advice for those new to selling on Etsy!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this. One question. Once you’ve printed the labels - do you have a time limit of when they need to be posted from then?
Check out the FAQ in the description for more information, it should help answer your questions :)
