UPS and DHL are level in fourth and fifth, the top international names on UK shops.
Only a minority of Royal Mail shops advertise, so advertising cuts the leader's list hard.

What this means
What to do with it.
Royal Mail leads, DPD is the usual second name, and Collect+ marks the shops that offer a locker network alongside a courier, so a UK shop offering Royal Mail alone is the clean second-courier lead. Royal Mail shops run on WooCommerce first, then Shopify and Magento.
Target UK shops that offer Royal Mail alone and pitch the second slot, where DPD leads and UPS, DHL and Parcelforce follow.
Reach Royal Mail shops on WooCommerce first, then Shopify and Magento, with a shipping integration pitch for each platform.
Prioritize UK shops that offer UPS or DHL beside Royal Mail, since a global courier on offer points to a seller set up to ship abroad.
