Sound familiar?

  • Heavy cases over the limit

    A case of tiles or fittings is often just over 30kg, which is where parcel couriers say no.

  • Surcharges you can't plan for

    Oversize lines added after the event make it hard to price your own orders.

  • Regular volume, no reward

    You send every week but pay the same as a one-off customer.

How Tuffnells helps

  1. Up to 10 lines per consignment

    Book a mixed order of cartons and cases together, up to 20 of each line, and see the price for every line.

  2. Your own rate card

    Regular volume? We can set up a rate card for your business, used automatically for every quote. No caps, no monthly fee.

  3. Your area day costs less

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

  4. Remote areas covered

    Highlands, islands and Northern Ireland are covered by our Economy and next working day services, with longer transit times and the regional surcharge shown in the quote.

How we help wholesalers

Heavy cases and light cartons in one booking

A case of tiles or fittings is often just over 30kg, which is where parcel couriers say no. Book up to 10 item lines in one consignment, each priced on its own size or weight, and see the total before you commit. Save regular delivery addresses and repeat orders as templates.

The problem

Heavy cases refused, light cartons sent separately

Worked example

Case of floor tiles, 80 x 80 x 50cm, 58kg. By size it works out at 64kg, a little more than its real weight, so it's priced on size: 64kg.
