Overview

In Shiptheory, once an order is booked in with Tuffnells, orders appear on the Tuffnells manifest. This can be viewed and edited from within Shiptheory, before it is printed and given to the Tuffnells driver.


Before a user can go 'live' with their Tuffnells account, a test pack containing some test labels, a copy of the paper manifest and a copy of electronic manifest must be submitted to Tuffnells team. This is so they can check that everything in your account is working before real labels are created. We can do this for you, once you have connected your account using the instructions below, just get in contact with our Support Team.
