Familiarize yourself with Royal Mail's terminology. They call their supply chain the "mail pipeline." You can find their full description of this online. This will help you understand in advance how much of this process is manual and how much of it is automated. The more questions you can answer on your own, the better. By displaying your knowledge of their process, you will exhibit a strong work ethic, thereby making you a more desirable candidate.

I have at least 3 years working in this sector. When working ___________, I was solely responsible for setting up, processing, and packing the gift and homeware section of the online shop. This was a fantastic opportunity to see the inner workings of dispatch and I would handle over 150 orders per day, working to a deadline to get them ready for postal collection. I then took this experience and used it when starting my online business.
