Fashion and retail courier services in Croydon
Tasito carries fashion and retail work across Croydon: replenishment and fixtures for the retail warehousing on Purley Way, stock collected from the logistics units at Beddington Lane, and samples, point-of-sale and display pieces for the shops around East Croydon and the town centre.
The run in from Essex crosses the river, so on a store job we fix the delivery hour first and plan the collection back from it. Bookings run until 4pm, Monday to Friday, and a morning slot at the store is the version of this job that works best.
Services in Croydon
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.

Purley Way is the easy end. The retail warehousing and trade counters along the A23 are reached through retail park and estate access, so a Luton can get in and the goods come off at a yard instead of a kerb. Thornton Road Industrial Estate sits just off it.
If your stock is held at Beddington Lane, on the Mitcham side, it is probably in one of the logistics units around Prologis Park Beddington. Those run docks, forklifts and booked slots. Send the gate reference with the booking and the collection is quick.
The town centre is the hard end. Loading around East Croydon is restricted and a vehicle cannot stand while somebody finds the person who signs, so we come in with a smaller van at an agreed time and ask for a contact who will meet the driver at the door.
Shops with no loading bay
On a town centre delivery the vehicle stops for as long as it takes to hand over, and no longer. That works when the door is open on arrival and the stock is going to someone who knows it is coming. Give us a mobile number for the shop and we call ahead when the driver is close.
Where the stock goes upstairs or to a stockroom at the back, tell us the floor, the stairs and the narrowest turn on the way. If there is a goods lift, send its internal depth as well as its door size, because the depth decides if a long carton or a display panel goes up in one trip.
What we move for Croydon retailers, and in what
Replenishment stock, fit-out and fixtures, point-of-sale, sample sets and press kit, and the overflow when an online peak gets ahead of the usual carrier. Most of it is bulky and light, so floor space runs out before the payload does.
Hanging garments travel differently from boxed stock. Tell us the consignment hangs, and give us the number of rails or the metres of hanging, because a hanging load needs height and clear floor and does not pack like pallets. We size the vehicle from that figure.
A short wheelbase at 450kg or a medium at 800kg suits one store inside a tight slot. A Luton gives 4.2m by 2.0m by 2.1m and 1,000kg for a full replenishment or a fit-out, and the box version has a tail lift for a Purley Way unit with no dock. Long fixture pieces that will not go through a rear door go on the flat bed at 2.7m. The fleet page lists every class, UK pallet sizes explained sets the standard footprint against the Euro one, and our fleet is FORS accredited, renewed for 2026.
Fit-out, and the carry to the shop floor
We deliver fit-out and display work. We do not fit it, install it or merchandise it. A shopfit that arrives in sections stays in sections until your fitter starts, so send us the fitter's time and we land the delivery to meet them.
Where the goods have to be carried from the yard or the kerb to the shop floor and placed, that is two-man delivery in Croydon, booked with the vehicle from the start. Taking out old fixtures is a separate job with disposal attached, and on a refit we sequence it around the new delivery instead of squeezing both into one slot.
Where Croydon retail work goes
Getting here is the long part. From Essex we come round on the M25 and the Dartford Crossing or through the Blackwall or Silvertown tunnel and across south London, and the southbound tunnel peak runs from 16:00 to 19:00 on weekdays. Mid-morning avoids the worst of both, which is why a morning store slot suits this run.
Once a vehicle is in Croydon, more south London stores on the same run add comparatively little, so a branch round is often the best value we offer here. From Lakeside, Croydon is the south London run that makes most sense to pair with a store delivery there. Croydon is inside ULEZ and outside the Congestion Charge, and we send compliant vehicles into London.
Other services we run in Croydon
Next-day courier in Croydon into a booked morning slot, which is often the better answer for replenishment on this route. Same-day courier in Croydon when a store has sold out of something it needs today. Fragile time-critical courier for display pieces and samples that should travel straight through with no depot handling.
Our fashion and retail courier service covers service yards, booked windows and the retail peak in more detail.
Croydon questions
Yes, in a smaller van at a time we agree with you. Loading around East Croydon is restricted, so the driver cannot wait at the kerb. Give us a contact at the shop and we call ahead so the door is open when the van pulls up.
Either the M25 and the Dartford Crossing or the Blackwall or Silvertown tunnel and then south London. We pick on the day and tell you which. The southbound tunnel peak is 16:00 to 19:00 on weekdays, so we aim store deliveries at the morning.
The gate reference, the slot and a contact. Most of the logistics units there, including Prologis Park Beddington, run booked slots and dock loading, so with the reference in hand the collection is one of the quickest parts of the job.
Yes, with a crew of two booked as two-man delivery. They carry it in from the yard or the kerb and set it where you want it. Tell us the floor, any stairs and the goods lift depth when you book.
Yes, and on this route it is usually the best value. The long part is getting to Croydon, so extra stores once the vehicle is here cost comparatively little. Send us the list and the opening times and we sequence it.
From the number of rails or the metres of hanging. Hanging stock needs height and clear floor, so it does not fill a vehicle the way pallets do. Tell us at booking that it hangs and we send a vehicle that fits it.
Croydon is inside ULEZ and outside the Congestion Charge. We send ULEZ-compliant vehicles into London, and if the right vehicle for a job is not compliant we tell you about the £12.50 before we set off.
4pm, Monday to Friday, but for a store slot the earlier the better. A late afternoon collection meets the southbound tunnel peak, so for a morning slot tomorrow a next-day booking is often the better buy.
