Customise the way you ship via Tuffnells with a custom shipping integration
Our Tuffnells Integration
Tuffnells is one of the oldest couriers in Great Britain. It was founded in Sheffield in 1914 by Harold Tuffnell who started delivering parcels with just one horse and cart. Tuffnells has kept its business consistent and has slowly and steadily gained popularity over the last 100 years. By 2010 it had hit an annual turnover of over 100 million pounds. Tuffnells has passed hands a few time over its lifetime. After being independently owned for 50 years, it was bought by the TDG Transport Development Group in 1971 who grew the company immensely, then again by Connect Group PLC in 2014. Since 2020 the courier has returned back to being independently owned and operated.
Currently, Tuffnells is solely based in the UK but they ship internationally to most countries across the world. They provide an ample variety of domestic services such as next day delivery, Saturday guarantee, a more cost-effective economy service (up to three days) and secure document delivery. Tuffnells is known in particular for the efficient handling of large or heavy shipments.
Despite being a veteran courier dedicated to tradition, they have embraced new technology in the same way that every other courier has, providing electronic tracking and notification functionalities. Our integration with Tuffnells works slightly differently than with other couriers. To create shipping labels for Tuffnells services, everything must be filtered through their desktop application. Shipster creates CSV files containing all your order information that is sent to the Tuffnells application and used to create shipments and print labels. This ensures consistency across all your labels and allows you to directly manage and monitor your shipments.
