Kit yourself and your business out with safety clothing, handling equipment and more

We created the supply store as a way to share the best products and the biggest discounts we can find on everything a courier needs from sat navs to straps, trolleys, safety gear and so much more! Because let’s face it, everyone like’s getting a good deal. We work with selected partners and search online retailers to find great deals on items that can help your courier business.

Every courier needs the right equipment. Without it, not only will your working day be more difficult, but in some cases you may not even be allowed in to the places you need access to.

Hi-Viz clothing, safety boots and trolleys are just a few of the fundamental basic items we recommend you should own, so we’ve researched a few options for you to take a loot at.

Grip Gloves

The goods you’ll be loading and unloading can be slippy and difficult to handle at times, as well as sometimes being dangerous (metals etc). So having a pair of grippy gloves available makes the job so much easier. It’s more a case of ‘why not?’ as opposed to ‘why?’

Safety Boots & Shoes

Read the signs at most warehouses and commercial premises and the two most common requirements are safety shoes and hi-viz. That’s often because fork-lift trucks operate and they need to be able to see you and make sure that if they run over your feet, they have less chance of crushing your toes. Good safety shoes are well worth the investment.

Ratchet Straps and Pallet Pullers

Strap that load down!! No matter what it is you’re carrying, you should always make sure the goods are secure in transit.
