PluginHive DHL strengths
- Reliable DHL Express labels in WooCommerce.
- International‑friendly; strong for urgent shipments.
Trade‑offs
- Single‑carrier scope; needs other plugins for Royal Mail, DPD, etc.
- Manual selection remains; limited ops visibility.
ParcelOffice advantages
- Rules engine chooses DHL only when it’s the best fit - otherwise uses Royal Mail (or others via adapters).
- Pack‑bench notes surface reminders (e.g., “Include bracket kit”).
- Telemetry dashboards show carrier mix and success rates.
- Background processing & polling ensure results flow back to the order reliably.
- Thermal‑printer friendly output with robust retry controls.
Outcome: Less tab‑switching, fewer mistakes, faster shipping - all inside WooCommerce.
CTA: Use DHL when it’s right - let ParcelOffice decide when that is.
