Fashion and retail courier services in Basildon
Tasito is based in Basildon. For retailers here we collect stock and fixtures from the units at Burnt Mills, Cranes and Pipps Hill, on Christopher Martin Road and at Festival Business Park, and take them to stores in Laindon, Pitsea and further afield.
There is no travel leg to reach a Basildon collection, which changes what we can offer a retailer that has run short. A late call for a store top-up is realistic here, and bookings run until 4pm, Monday to Friday.
Services in Basildon
See all servicesPlanning, routing and sorting
The work that happens before the van moves. Routes built around your delivery windows, loads sorted and sequenced so each consignment comes off where it should, and one team accountable for the job from the first call to the last signature.
More on planning, routing and sorting
Same-day courier service
A dedicated vehicle for your consignment, collected within the hour across London, Essex, Kent and the Home Counties, and driven straight to the delivery address with nothing else on board. No depot, no overnight sort, no waiting for a van to fill up. The driver who collects your goods is the driver who delivers them.

Next-day courier service
For consignments that have to arrive tomorrow without paying same-day rates. Your goods are collected today and delivered the next working day, on a dedicated vehicle rather than through a parcel network, so nothing is handled twice and nothing sits in a depot overnight.

Two-man delivery
An extra pair of hands for the jobs one driver cannot do safely. Two crew on the vehicle, so heavy and bulky goods can be carried, manoeuvred through doorways and lifts, and put exactly where they need to go rather than left inside the front door.

Multi-drop courier service
A whole list of stops in one planned sequence, with booked goods-in windows as fixed points and every drop tracked to its address.

Fragile time-critical courier
Fragile and time-critical consignments driven straight to the delivery address, with no depot in between and the handling agreed before the van moves.

Burnt Mills, off Harvey Road, is the biggest estate in the town and the source of a large part of our regular collections. Festival Business Park, Christopher Martin Road, Pipps Hill and Cranes account for most of the remainder, and Pitsea, Laindon and Vange are on the same run.
Expect yards and trade counters on these estates more often than docks. Units usually load by forklift, and at a unit without one the tail lift on the box Luton does the lifting. Being local, we know the units where access is awkward and the service roads that are narrower on the ground than on the map.
Short notice for a store that has run short
A store that has sold through a line needs the replacement today. From Basildon that is a realistic ask: we can often collect in much less than the hour we quote across Essex, depending on what is already running, and a call at 3:45pm still has a fair chance here, because reaching the collection costs us almost no time. The same call for Colchester would not.
A short wheelbase is usually available quickly. A Luton, a flat bed or a two-person crew needs more notice, so tell us early when the job needs one of those.
What we send, and what fits
Short wheelbase: one pallet, 450kg, 2.1m of load space. Medium: two standard or three Euro pallets, 800kg. Long wheelbase: three standard or four Euro, 3.3m. Extra-long: four standard or five Euro, 4.2m. Luton: six of either, 1,000kg, 4.2m long, 2.0m wide and 2.1m high. For fixture lengths too long for a door there is the flat bed, 2.7m and 800kg.
For forklift loading on the Burnt Mills and Cranes yards we send the curtain-side Luton, which opens along its flank. Stock and hanging garments take up room before they take up payload, so if anything hangs, give us the rails or the metres. Every vehicle is on the fleet page, the two pallet footprints are compared in UK pallet sizes explained, and the whole fleet holds FORS accreditation, renewed for 2026.
Fixtures and the carry to the shop floor
Where fixtures or display units have to be taken into a store and placed, book two-man delivery in Basildon. The crew carries and positions the goods. Assembly and installation are not included, and taking away old fixtures is a separate job with disposal attached.
If a fitter is meeting the delivery, send us their time and we land the goods to meet them.
Where Basildon retail work goes
Into London down the A127 and the A13, which is the most common run. West along the A13 to Grays, Lakeside and the Thames corridor, and north to Chelmsford on the A130. Wickford is about five miles away and Rayleigh about six, and with Benfleet and Southend they often share a run.
A Basildon collection with drops in Wickford and Rayleigh is one short route, so a multi-drop run from Basildon costs you the mileage once. A recurring weekly store round can go on a fixed rate.
Other services we run in Basildon
Same-day courier in Basildon for the urgent store top-up. Next-day courier in Basildon where tomorrow morning does the job. Fragile time-critical courier for display pieces and samples that should go straight through with no depot handling. Planning, routing and sorting if stock moves to your stores on a schedule.
How we plan around store windows and the retail peak is covered on the fashion and retail courier service page.
Basildon questions
Very fast, because our base is in Basildon and there is barely a journey to make. It is normally well inside the hour we quote elsewhere in Essex, subject to which vans are already out. Call us and we will say where the nearest suitable one is.
Often, yes. From Basildon a short-notice collection is realistic, and a short wheelbase is usually available quickly. A Luton or a two-person crew needs more notice, so say early if the job needs one.
It does, but it lands later here than anywhere else we run. Because we spend almost no time getting to you, a booking made at 3:45pm can still be collected, which would not be realistic on a long run.
The box Luton. Its tail lift lowers the pallet to the ground and raises it to the load floor, so you need no equipment. With a forklift on site, we send the curtain-side Luton instead, as it loads along its side and is faster.
Yes. Wickford is about five miles and Rayleigh about six, so all three fit on one short route and the mileage is paid once.
Yes, as two-man delivery. Two people carry the fixtures in and set them where you want them. Assembly and installation are not included, so tell us if a fitter is coming.
Yes. They are part of the same run as Basildon. Send the postcode and the unit, and we will come back with a collection window.
On the collection leg, yes, because the price follows distance and the vehicle, and we are already here. Most of the cost is in the delivery leg, and a London store inside the Congestion Charge zone adds £18 for the day.
Send us the postcodes and what is moving. You get a price in seconds and a driver within the hour.
