Fragile time-critical courier in Epping
Tasito provides dedicated fragile and time-critical courier services across Epping and the surrounding business areas, including the town centre, North Weald Airfield and the units at Thornwood. From instruments and electronic assemblies to framed work, finished panels and machine parts, 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 Epping around twenty-two miles from our Essex base, round the M25 to junction 27, we are well placed for collections and onward delivery into London, up the M11 and throughout the UK.
Most of what we move out of Epping is small and valuable: framed pieces, instruments and samples from the town's offices and practices, with larger items from the airfield and Thornwood. Bookings run until 4pm.
The parts of Epping we collect from
The town centre is offices, professional practices and a high street, so collections are kerbside and the vehicle is chosen for the stopping position as well as the item.
North Weald Airfield is the main site of any industrial scale nearby. It is laid out on internal roads, so give us the unit number and a contact even when the postcode says Epping. Thornwood, on the B1393, has smaller commercial and industrial units.
How the roads behave
Junction 27 of the M25 is the way in and the main constraint, and it slows in both peaks. The A121 towards Loughton is slow with no alternative alongside it, so we allow for it in the window and pick the hour with you.
Epping is in Essex, outside ULEZ and the Congestion Charge. 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. Framed and glazed work stands upright and braced with the edges covered, and instruments are restrained so they cannot move. If one face matters most, say so at booking.
We do not pack or build cases. The driver will tell you at your premises 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
Town centre collections usually go in a short wheelbase, which suits instruments, framed pieces and single items. At the airfield and the larger units the whole fleet is available.
Longer pieces go in a long or extra-long wheelbase, a Luton covers bulky items with a tail lift on the box body or side loading on the curtain-side, and anything too long for a van door goes on the flat bed. The fleet page has dimensions for every class.
Where Epping work goes
Other services we run in Epping
Same-day courier where the item is robust and the deadline is the only pressure. Two-man delivery for office furniture, equipment and anything that needs two people to carry it. Multi-drop for several addresses on one planned route. Next-day courier where the item is delicate and tomorrow morning is soon enough.

Epping questions
Same-day gives you a dedicated vehicle and no depot handling. A fragile booking also settles the handling and the approach first: how the item is restrained, which gate or doorway the driver is coming to, who meets them and who signs.
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 premises before loading.
Outside the town. North Weald Airfield to the east is the main site, with space for business, industry and distribution, and Thornwood to the north has smaller commercial and industrial units.
Yes. The airfield is laid out on internal roads, so a unit number and a contact get the driver to the right door, where a postcode alone will not.
No. Epping is in Essex, outside ULEZ and the Congestion Charge. If your delivery is in London, we tell you which charges apply before we go.
It can add a good deal in either peak, as there is no alternative once you are on it. We allow for it in the window and pick the hour with you, usually mid-morning.
Slow, with no alternative road alongside it. We allow for it in the plan and restrain the item for it, and that is decided at booking.
Yes. Junction 27 connects to the M11 for Harlow and Stansted and to the M25 in both directions. Give us the cut-off at the far end and we plan the run back from it.
