Fragile time-critical courier in Clacton-on-Sea
Tasito provides dedicated fragile and time-critical courier services across Clacton-on-Sea and the surrounding business areas, including Gorse Lane Industrial Estate, Paxton Road and the retail and hospitality premises across the town. From electronic assemblies and instruments to fabricated parts, glazed panels and one-off prototypes, we collect directly from your premises and take the consignment straight to its destination in a vehicle matched to the item, with the handling agreed before anything is loaded. With Clacton around fifty miles from our Essex base, up the A12 and east on the A120 and A133, we plan each run as one movement with the hour agreed before we set off.
Most of what we move out of Clacton is light industrial work: electronics assembly, welding and fabrication output and trade supply. Bookings run until 4pm, and for a run this long a morning booking gives the most room.
The parts of Clacton-on-Sea we collect from
Gorse Lane carries most of the town's industrial and commercial units, with estate access, yards and room to turn, so the van gets alongside the door. Paxton Road has further industrial units, and the fabrication work there often produces lengths that do not fit through a van door.
Off the estates the town is retail, hospitality and services, where the kerb decides the vehicle as much as the consignment does. For a town centre collection we want a mobile number for whoever is handing the item over.
How the roads behave
The run is the A12, then the A120 and the A133, and the last stretch is slower than the dual carriageway before it. In summer and on bank holidays the seafront roads are busy and kerb space is scarce, so a delivery near the front gets a wider window and a smaller vehicle.
Clacton-on-Sea is in Essex, so no London charges apply at this end. Where the delivery is in London, any charge on that leg is in the price before we set off.
How the consignment is handled
Your consignment travels on its own, with no co-loading and no depot stop over the full distance. Assemblies from the electronics benches are restrained so they cannot move, and fabricated or glazed pieces stand upright and braced with the edges covered.
We do not pack or build cases. The driver will tell you at your gate if the wrapping is not up to the journey, and an item that needs a case is flagged at booking. Our part ends with the signature at the agreed point.
What we send and what fits
Instruments, boxed assemblies and single items go in a short wheelbase, and longer pieces in a long or extra-long wheelbase. A Luton covers bulky items, with the box body carrying a tail lift for an address with no forklift, and fabrication lengths go on the flat bed.
Where a temperature has to be held, ask about our temperature-controlled vehicle when you book and give as much notice as you can. The fleet page has dimensions for every class.
Where Clacton-on-Sea work goes
Colchester is west on the A133 and A120, Harwich is north along the coast, and Witham and Chelmsford are down the A12. London is at the far end of it.

Clacton-on-Sea questions
The handling agreement. Same-day already gives you a dedicated vehicle and no depot. On a fragile job we also settle how the item is restrained, who meets the driver at the far end, who signs and what happens if the packaging does not look right at collection.
No. Packing and case-making are separate trades. We carry what is presented, and if the wrapping will not survive the journey, the driver will tell you at your gate before anything is loaded.
As one planned movement. Book in the morning where you can and we set the route, the hour and the handling before the van leaves, with time in hand at the far end.
Yes. Call us and we will tell you what is available and give you a delivery window based on the run.
Electronics assembly output, light engineering, welding and fabrication work and trade supplies. Fabricated lengths go on the flat bed instead of being forced into a panel van.
Yes. In summer and on bank holidays the seafront is slower and kerb space is scarce, so the window is wider and we send a smaller van. Tell us the date and we quote for it.
Yes. Ask about our temperature-controlled vehicle when you book, tell us the day before where you can, and give us the range the consignment has to stay inside so we can confirm it before quoting.
Yes. Several addresses in the north east of the county can go on one planned route, and our multi-drop service covers the booking.
