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.
