Why Cardiff drivers choose Hauly
Evri, Parcelforce, and UPS partners all charge fees or require you to watch a board. Hauly is different — and the difference matters in quiet months.

Cardiff areas we cover
Deliver parcels across Cardiff and the CF postcode area
Cardiff Bay's regeneration — including the Senedd building and BBC Wales headquarters at Central Square — has created a concentrated hub of media and government courier demand. The A48(M) and Eastern Avenue are the key ring-road links, but both suffer congestion during the morning rush. Hauly drivers use the Cardiff Bay Barrage route to connect Penarth to the city centre faster than the A4232 during peak times.
