  • Source for cardboard postal tubes

    And hi again everyone.

    For my next topic, I would like to ask if anybody on here has a name for a good supplier of cardboard postal tubes? I currently source all of my tubes from Defendapack.

    To be perfectly honest, they are cheaper than any other supplier I can find, but I have had several issues with them over the years and, while I have searched for alternative suppliers over the years, I’ve never found anyone else with the range of goods and even comparable prices. But maybe that’s because I’m not using the correct wording in my search (or as they like to say in all of these techy tv programmes, "The parameters of my algorithm are too broad").

    Anyway, just wondered if anybody knows of, or uses anyone else.

    Thank you,

    Pete J.

    I used this company in Grays in Essex for several years and they were always reliable. http://www.essextubes.com/contact-us.html.

    Dimensions were always accurate and consistant and from my point of view they were always competitively priced. However I used to collect from the factory which wasn’t far away so I never had any delivery costs, if your’re based in the midlands then the unit cost will obviously be higher.

    We’ve used these in the past, https://www.coresandtubes.co.uk/ although have a local supplier for smaller quantities.

    Defenda pack are very good, if you’ve had issues I would suggest you call them and have it out with them like we did a number of years back. Since then they created some special products just for us and we have been very happy with the service.
