Pricing (checked 8 Oct 2026)
| Plan | Price | Billing | What it includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Click & Drop | GBP 0 | no monthly cost; postage charged per item | Store and marketplace connections, order import, shipping rules, reports, collections |
| Send an item | GBP 0 | no monthly cost; postage charged per item | Buy postage for occasional senders, Royal Mail and Parcelforce services, drop-off or collection |
No subscription: the page says both tools are completely free to use and that you pay only for your postage. Checked 8 Oct 2026 on the vendor's own page. Postage prices themselves are not shown on the page we read; they depend on the service and weight. The page says sending more than 20 parcels a week can earn lower prices.
Platforms and features
The sending platforms page describes:
- Connecting stores and marketplaces to import orders from Amazon, Shopify, eBay and more
- Importing orders from a spreadsheet or a desktop app
- Shipping rules that apply the right postage to orders and products
- Export of manifested and despatched orders to Excel
- Access to Royal Mail and Parcelforce services with full tracking
- Over 130,000 drop-off points, or collection from your premises
There are two tools. Send an item is for occasional senders buying postage by card, PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Click & Drop is for sellers handling several orders and adds marketplace connections and shipping rules. Its footer says it was built by StoreFeeder. Neither tool changes the postage rate: you pay the same Royal Mail or Parcelforce price for the service you pick, and a business account offers credit terms. Check whether your marketplace already provides a prepaid label before buying postage separately.
Who it is for, and who it is not for
Good fit: A UK seller on eBay, Shopify or Amazon who ships several parcels a week and wants labels, order import and shipping rules without a subscription.
Poor fit: A seller outside the UK, and a seller who wants a carrier comparison, since it only offers Royal Mail and Parcelforce services.
