LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ShipStation, a leading shipping software from Auctane, is breaking down barriers for small businesses in the UK with the launch of discounted daily parcel collections through DPD, a global leader in parcel delivery. This new offering makes daily pickups for ready-to-ship packages — an expensive service typically reserved for high-volume shippers — more accessible and cost-effective for small businesses on ShipStation.
Through daily collections with DPD, small businesses using ShipStation can streamline their operations, speed up order processing, make faster deliveries, and ultimately foster happier customers. This integration levels the playing field, making this valuable service affordable and accessible to businesses of all sizes.
Beyond convenient daily pickups, ShipStation continues to support DPD's full suite of advanced features. Through ShipStation, consumers will have access to precise one-hour delivery windows with DPD Predict, real-time tracking through the DPD App, 10,000 Drop-Off shops and Next Day delivery seven days a week across the UK. Businesses can also streamline international shipping with DPD's Air Express, Air Classic, and DPD Classic to 24 countries – all managed seamlessly through ShipStation.
