Sound familiar?

  • Seasonal spikes

    March to June doubles your orders, and couriers with minimums don't flex with you.

  • Heavy, bulky and long

    Garden sets, bags of aggregate and timber are exactly what parcel couriers won't touch.

  • Margins on heavy goods

    Delivery on a heavy order can cost more than the profit if the price isn't clear up front.

How Tuffnells helps

  1. No minimums, any season

    Send a handful in quiet months and hundreds when the season picks up. No monthly fee and no caps.

  2. Up to 150kg per item

    Garden sets, aggregates and timber lengths up to 6.5m.

  3. Price before you sell

    Check the delivery price for any size in seconds, so you can price your own product properly.

  4. Cheaper area-day collection

    Group orders for your area day, when the driver is near you anyway, and pay less.
