FAQ

Do I need my own Royal Mail contract to use the Linnworks Royal Mail integration?

No, not necessarily. You can start with Royal Mail by Sendcloud without your own contract for tracked, drop-off services, then add your Royal Mail OBA contract later if you need more options. See how to connect your Royal Mail contract.

Can I generate a Royal Mail end-of-day manifest in Sendcloud?

Yes, if you ship on your own Royal Mail contract. You can generate the manifest in Sendcloud and hand it to the driver. It isn’t available when using Royal Mail by Sendcloud. Read the manifest guide.

Are Royal Mail collections included when shipping via Sendcloud?

No. Royal Mail by Sendcloud is drop-off only. If you need a collection, you can book it directly with Royal Mail or use your own contract. Book a Royal Mail collection.

Can I offer QR code returns with Royal Mail through Sendcloud?

You can. Royal Mail supports paperless QR returns on eligible services, helping shoppers return items without a printer. Availability depends on the service you use and your set-up.

Will customers get full tracking with Linnworks Royal Mail shipments?

Yes. Services with “Tracked” in the name show full Royal Mail scans. Untracked services only confirm delivery. Sendcloud shares updates to reduce WISMO and keep customers informed.
