A range of updates this week improving courier compliance, customs handling, and overall system reliability:
AnPost β CN23 & Label Enhancements
Weβve made several updates to improve AnPost label and customs handling:
Labels now return in 6x4β size (previously A6).
CN23s now automatically generate for all non-domestic shipments, including those under the Windsor Framework, and appear directly below the shipment label.
Multi-label support has been fixed.
Parcel Locker service is now supported.
Removed outdated EU Standard and Customs Declaration templates (pre-Brexit).
Wrong barcode type (QR Code) now uses correct barcode type (datamatrix) in line with AnPost spec.
Redundant courier-specific keys removed but remain backwards compatible.
DX Freight β Tracking Fix
Tracking URLs now return as an array, linking directly to individual shipment pages for better visibility.
Parcel2Go β Reliability & Data Improvements
Introduced internal throttling logic to prevent premature label retrieval attempts β labels now retry once per second (up to 15x) if needed.
International shipments now include parcel-level customs data (origin countries, HS codes, quantities, etc.).
Fixed issue with short address fields causing shipment failures.
Amazon β Preference Handling Enhanced
Added support for delivery_experience as part of the service_preference courier-specific.
Old key:value format still works for backwards compatibility.
Resolved issue with multi-parcel error handling.
Mintsoft / Parcelhub / Whistl
HS codes and customs descriptions now populate correctly via Mintsoft.
Fixed incorrect packaging_weight mapping for both Parcelhub and Whistl.
Reseller accounts: Fixed notification template CRUD operations.
Email Templates: Previously non-functional actions now working as expected.
Hosted Pages: Fully redesigned for a more consistent visual experience.
βYour Planβ section: Background image now behaves correctly on smaller screens.
Added validation for field lengths in createLabelShipment records.
