Fashion and retail courier services in Braintree
Tasito carries fashion and retail work around Braintree: deliveries into Freeport Village through its service yard, stock for the town centre shops, and collections from the units at Springwood Industrial Estate. We reach Braintree from our base in about twenty-six miles, by the A130 and the A12 or directly up the A131.
The A120 is the main road here, and it puts Stansted and the M11 within reach without touching the M25. Bookings run until 4pm, Monday to Friday, but at Freeport Village the yard's hours set the real deadline.
Services in Braintree
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.

Freeport Village is the retail side of Braintree. Like other retail villages it takes deliveries through a service yard inside delivery windows, not at open loading points. Give us the window when you book and we build the run around it. Deliveries go best before trading gets busy.
The town centre and the smaller units across Braintree take the rest of the retail work. Those are usually smaller consignments into shops, so we send a smaller van and agree the time with whoever is receiving.
Springwood, where the stock comes from
The main industrial site is Springwood Industrial Estate, on Springwood Drive and around Springwood Court, with estate roads, yards and forklift loading. A Luton has plenty of room there.
Stock collected at Springwood can go into Freeport Village or the town on the same run, or out along the A120 and the A12. The curtain-side Luton suits the Springwood yards, because it loads along its side by forklift.
What we send, and what fits
Sizes run from a short wheelbase (one pallet, 450kg, 2.1m of load space) through a medium (two standard or three Euro pallets, 800kg), a long wheelbase (three standard or four Euro, 3.3m) and an extra-long (four standard or five Euro, 4.2m) to the Luton, which takes six of either at 1,000kg in 4.2m by 2.0m by 2.1m.
For a retail yard without a dock, the box Luton's tail lift does the job. Retail stock and hanging garments use up volume before weight, so give us the number of rails or the metres of hanging if any of it hangs. The fleet page lists each vehicle, UK pallet sizes explained covers the footprints, and the fleet is FORS accredited, with the accreditation renewed for 2026.
Fit-out into a unit
Retail fit-out is a regular Braintree job, and anything that has to go into the unit and be placed is two-man delivery in Braintree, booked with the vehicle. The crew carries the goods in and positions them. Assembly and installation are not included, so send us the fitter's time and we land the delivery to meet them.
Taking old fixtures away is separate work with disposal attached. We book it as its own movement so the new delivery keeps its window.
Where Braintree retail work goes
Stansted is west on the A120, with no M25 on the way, and the M11 beyond it. Witham and Chelmsford are south on the A12, Colchester is east, and London is down the A12 and the A13. Locally the A120 slows at Galleys Corner, while on the A12 the trouble spot is northbound at Witham.
Store rounds along the A120 and A12 corridors suit a multi-drop run from Braintree, with a fixed rate for a recurring weekly round. Braintree sits between the two roads, so taking in Witham or Colchester adds little mileage compared with separate bookings.
Other services we run in Braintree
Same-day courier in Braintree when a store needs stock today. Next-day courier in Braintree where a delivery tomorrow morning does the job. Fragile time-critical courier for display pieces and samples that should not go through a depot.
More on retail yards, delivery windows and peak season is on our fashion and retail courier service page.
Braintree questions
Yes. We go in through the service yard, inside whatever window the village sets. Tell us the window when you book. The best time is before trading picks up, and the yard's hours decide the job more than our 4pm cut-off.
The curtain-side Luton where there is a forklift, because it loads along the side and is quicker at both ends. The box Luton, with its tail lift, is the one for a delivery address with no equipment.
Yes, as two-man delivery. A crew of two carries the goods into the unit and positions them. Assembly and installation are not included, so tell us when the fitter starts.
Yes. From Braintree the A120 heads west to Stansted and the M11 with no M25 involved, which keeps the run clear of junction 27, the worst junction between us and anywhere north.
Yes. Because Braintree sits between the A120 and the A12, adding a store in Witham or Colchester costs little extra mileage compared with separate bookings.
The number of rails or the metres of hanging, and a note at booking that it hangs. Hanging stock needs height and clear floor, which changes the vehicle we send.
Yes. Send the postcode and a mobile number for the shop. Some lanes out there are narrower than the maps show, so a precise address saves the driver time.
4pm, Monday to Friday. For Freeport Village the yard window is the real limit, so if the slot is tomorrow morning, a next-day booking usually suits it better.
Send us the postcodes and what is moving. You get a price in seconds and a driver within the hour.
