The furniture courier that treats every piece like the one in your showroom

Sofas, dining tables, beds and wardrobes are what most couriers turn away. We take items up to 150kg and 6.5m long, collect from your workshop or showroom, and show you the full price before you book.

Sound familiar?

  • Too big for parcel couriers

    Standard couriers stop around 30kg and refuse anything long, so a single order can need a specialist and a phone call.

  • Prices that change after booking

    Oversize and handling charges that appear on the invoice eat the margin on a piece you have already sold.

  • Several carriers to juggle

    Small parcels with one firm, big pieces with another, beds with a third. Every one has its own login and pickup time.

How we help furniture makers

One courier for the cushion and the corner sofa

Most parcel couriers stop around 30kg and won't take long pieces, so one order can mean three carriers. We take items up to 150kg and 6.5m on one account, collect from your workshop or showroom, and show the full price before you book.

The problem

A different courier for small parcels, big pieces and beds, each with its own login

With Tuffnells

One account for everything up to 150kg, priced line by line before you book

  • 150kg per item
  • 6.5m longest item
  • 10 item lines in one consignment

Worked example

Oak dining table top, 250 x 120 x 8cm, 58kg. By size it works out at 48kg, so it's priced on its real weight: 58kg.
