Frequently Asked Questions
How do I automate DPD shipping?
Shipping rules assign the right DPD service automatically. Set the conditions once, based on weight, destination, order value, channel, or product, and every order is matched to a service as it imports, ready to print.
How do shipping rules choose a DPD service?
Rules run in priority order against each order's weight, destination, value, channel, and contents. The first matching rule sets the service, so DPD 10:30, DPD 12, Next Day and Two Day orders separate without anyone selecting them.
Which DPD services are available through Zenstores?
Zenstores supports all DPD services, including DPD Two Day, Next Day, DPD 12, DPD 10:30, the Saturday and Sunday equivalents of each, and internationally DPD Classic, Air Classic, Air Express and DPD Direct. DPD Predict works with every UK service.
Do I need an existing DPD account to use Zenstores?
Not necessarily. DPD is a Zenstores Swift enabled carrier, so you can open a DPD account directly from Zenstores and access discounted rates without setting one up separately first.
How do I print DPD labels in bulk?
Select the orders you want to ship and print the batch in one action. Labels go straight to your printer with no PDF to open and no print dialogue, and they come out in picking order.
Do I need a thermal printer for DPD labels?
No. Integrated labels put the shipping label and the dispatch note on one A4 sheet, so a laser or inkjet printer is enough. Any integrated label template works, and we recommend S4, S5, S7, S8, S16P, S19 or S20.
How do I create pick lists and packing slips for DPD orders?
Pick lists and packing slips generate automatically for the batch you're working on. Print them with your labels, or use integrated labels to put the label and dispatch note on a single sheet.
How do I stop the wrong item going into a DPD parcel?
Scan each item against the order before the label prints. Barcode scan-to-pack with a scanner like the Zebra 2278 verifies contents at the bench, so mispicks are caught before the parcel leaves.
Where does DPD tracking data go once a label is printed?
Straight back to the sales channel. The tracking number is pushed to Shopify, WooCommerce, Adobe Commerce, Amazon, eBay, or Etsy, and the order is marked dispatched, so customer notifications go out automatically.
Can I use DPD alongside my other carriers?
Yes. DPD sits alongside Royal Mail, DPD Local, Evri, DHL, FedEx, InPost, Parcelforce, APC, DX, Parcel2Go, and Pro Carrier. Shipping rules decide which carrier each order goes to.
Which sales channels can I ship DPD orders from?
Shopify, Shopify Plus, WooCommerce, Adobe Commerce, Magento, Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and TikTok. Orders from every channel land in one queue, so DPD shipments are processed in the same run whatever the source.
How long does it take to start shipping with DPD?
Most brands are shipping within a few days. Connecting your DPD account takes minutes, then it's setting up shipping rules and label printing to match how your warehouse works.
