TUNL is solving exports for African manufacturers, makers and merchants. There is huge export potential all across South Africa and Africa, and our mission is to unlock it. As the first step, we launched TUNL Economy – our own courier service from South Africa to the US. At least 50% more affordable, end-to-end tracked, fully insured. The TUNL platform also offers Express courier options with leading global couriers to (almost) anywhere internationally at fantastic rates. If you are shipping internationally, get an instant shipping price on our website or get in touch to chat to us. TUNL is proud to be backed by Founders Factory Africa, Digital Africa Ventures and E4E.
