Fashion and retail courier services in Chelmsford
Tasito moves fashion and retail work across Chelmsford: point-of-sale and print going out to stores, palletised stock off Widford and Westway, and deliveries into the Springfield and Boreham sites. Chelmsford is around fifteen miles from our base, so a collection here is a short leg for us.
A lot of the retail work out of Chelmsford is one consignment going to many addresses, which suits a planned store round better than a string of single jobs. Bookings run until 4pm, Monday to Friday.
Services in Chelmsford
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.

Widford Industrial Area and Westway, on the south-western side off the A1016, are the quickest for us because we come up through Rettendon. Waterhouse Business Park and Bilton Road are in the same corner. On the Springfield side there are Dukes Park and Hedgerows, and north of the city off the A12 there are Drake's Lane at Little Waltham and Waltham Road at Boreham.
Chelmsford Business Park and Springfield Business Park are office-style sites with service bays instead of loading docks. For those we send a long wheelbase and, if the volume needs it, make two runs in place of forcing a Luton into a bay built for vans.
Point-of-sale and print going out to stores
Print and point-of-sale is a regular Chelmsford consignment, and it usually has a launch or a promotion date behind it. Tell us the store list and the date the material has to be in place, and we sequence the drops so each store receives it inside its own window.
Shopping centre stores take deliveries through a service yard at a booked time, usually before trading gets busy. High street shops have restricted loading, so the driver needs the door open and somebody to hand over to. Give us both kinds of detail for each address and the round runs to time.
What we send, and what fits
A short wheelbase takes one pallet at 450kg in 2.1m. A medium takes two standard or three Euro at 800kg. A long wheelbase takes three standard or four Euro at 3.3m, and an extra-long four standard or five Euro at 4.2m. The Luton takes six of either in 4.2m by 2.0m by 2.1m at 1,000kg.
The box Luton has a tail lift for a store or unit with no forklift, and the curtain-side Luton loads along its flank by forklift, which suits the trade counters off Westway. Display stock and hanging garments run out of floor space before weight, so tell us the rails or metres if anything hangs. The fleet page has every class, and UK pallet sizes explained covers standard against Euro. Our fleet is FORS accredited and renewed for 2026.
How the roads change a Chelmsford store round
The Army and Navy junction backs up in both peaks, so a town centre collection at 08:15 is a slower job than the same collection at 10:00. On the A12, northbound at the Boreham interchange and southbound at Margaretting are the two places that go, and there is no parallel road worth using when they do.
If the A12 shuts mid-round we call you with revised times for the stores still to come. A store with an early yard slot goes first in the sequence, which protects the slot most likely to be lost.
Where Chelmsford retail work goes
South into London on the A130 and the A13, or north up the A12 through Witham and Braintree to Colchester, where a Chelmsford collection with a Colchester drop costs less than two jobs because the mileage is already paid. Southbound we pass Billericay, Wickford and Basildon, and Brentwood sits on the A127 leg.
For a run of stores, a multi-drop round from Chelmsford is the usual answer, and a recurring weekly round can go on a fixed rate.

Chelmsford questions
Yes, that is the most common Chelmsford retail job. Send the store list, each store's delivery window and the date the material has to be in place, and we sequence the round around the windows.
They are among the quickest Chelmsford collections we do, because we come up the A130 from Rettendon and both are on that side. Allow longer between seven and nine, when the Army and Navy junction will have backed up.
Chelmsford Business Park and Springfield Business Park are built around service bays, not docks. We normally send a long wheelbase there and make two runs if the volume needs it. Tell us the building and we check before we book it.
We reroute where it helps and call you with new times for the stores still to come. Stores with early yard slots go first in the sequence, so the windows most at risk are already done.
Yes, and it costs less than two separate jobs because the A12 mileage is already paid for. Witham and Braintree sit on the same road if there is a third store.
With a crew of two booked as two-man delivery, yes. They carry the fixtures in and place them. Assembly and installation are not included, so send us your fitter's time if the two need to meet.
Yes. A recurring multi-drop round can go on a fixed rate, which costs less than booking each week from scratch and keeps the delivery times steady for the stores.
No. Chelmsford is outside ULEZ and the Congestion Charge. Charges only come in if a store on the round is in London, and we tell you which apply before we set off.
