How do you handle Royal Mail / DPD UK / Hermes / Evri in Magento?
Categories:
Magento Developer UK
Most UK stores need 2-3 carriers for cost optimisation:
- Royal Mail Tracked 24 / 48 + Special Delivery, cheapest for low-weight (< 2kg).
- DPD UK, best 1-hour delivery slot, premium retail. Native Magento module via DPD’s API.
- Evri (formerly Hermes), cheapest 2-5kg, weak tracking but good price.
- Yodel / ParcelForce, backup / regional use.
We integrate via ShipperHQ (rule engine) or direct carrier modules, rule-based routing by weight, postcode, value, and delivery promise. Booking labels auto-generated from Magento order grid; tracking webhooks update sales_order.
