Royal Mail Click and Drop

Royal Mail are forcing us to use their new system called 'Click and Drop'.

Does anybody urgently know of a reliable Zen Cart integration please?

You don't really need an integration. Install the Export Shipping + Orders module and you export a csv which you then upload to C+D.

I have it running on my 1.57c dev/upgrade site without problems.

Ok that may well do it, however really we need some sort of automated system that integrates direct. There are other carts Click and Drop Support where it does this. Otherwise it creates another stroke when sending out parcels and could cause a bit of a nightmare. When the products are packaged, previously the label was produced immediately by copy and pasting the address onto the royal mail system and then pressing print. If it is uploaded by CSV, that means having to leave the labels until last minute before printing them all off. And there is very obviously room for plenty of error doing it like that. We need to create them immediately as soon as the order has been received and created in the Zen Cart Database.

Could not agree more this is becoming more important in the UK. Already know of several sites that would have used Zen Cart but not having this shipping plugin is a deal breaker.
