Fragile time-critical courier in Shenfield
Tasito moves fragile and time-critical consignments across Shenfield, from the professional offices and consultancies around the Elizabeth line terminus to the Hutton Road addresses and the retail and service businesses near the station. Samples and instruments, small equipment, framed and presentation material, prototypes, and documents that have to be signed for by a named person.
A dedicated vehicle, and no depot handling between your office and theirs. Eleven miles separates us, west along the A127 and up through Brentwood or in off the A12, and the booking line runs to 4pm Monday to Friday, which that distance absorbs comfortably.
What the work is here
The Elizabeth line terminates here, and most of the local commercial activity follows from that one fact. Consultancies and professional firms wanting access to the capital without paying its rents, plus the retail and services that collect around a busy commuter station.
Which makes the consignments documents, files, samples, instruments, small equipment and office pieces. Pallets are rare. For palletised work in this part of the county the sites are Childerditch, over in Brentwood, or the Basildon estates.
That mix sits well with this service. Small, valuable and unhappy about being handled is precisely what a dedicated vehicle exists for.
Stopping near the station
Early morning and late afternoon, the station car park and the roads around it are busy, and the restrictions nearby leave little room. An office on Hutton Road is not somewhere a van can idle while somebody is found.
What makes it work is a fixed time, the consignment ready to go, and a mobile for whoever hands it over. Eleven miles gives us the room to time an arrival around you instead of circling, and a driver who stops once and carries once is the point of booking this service at all.
How the handling is agreed
Blankets and straps as standard, instrument cases strapped flat to the floor rather than stacked, and nothing resting on a face that matters. The carry from the kerb up to a first-floor office is short, though it is still a carry, so we agree who meets the driver and where before the booking closes.
No packing and no crating from us. If the packaging looks unequal to the run the driver says so in your office rather than taking it eleven miles and hoping, and where a purpose-made case is needed first we tell you at booking so the slot is not spent.
Our responsibility ends with a signature from the person named at booking, which on document and sample work is the whole reason for using us. Unpacking, installation and setting equipment up are a separate trade.
The Brentwood pairing
Shenfield usually falls on a Brentwood run rather than a trip of its own, and on time-critical work that helps. Two collections, one here and one there, are a single job. And a consignment leaving here for the M11 or the M25 starts beside junction 28, so Harlow and Stansted are shorter runs from this address than from most of our patch.
Brentwood, Hutton and Shenfield share the same run, so which of the three holds the address makes no practical difference.
What we send and what fits
The small end of the fleet, nearly always. Documents, instrument cases and small equipment go in the short wheelbase, 450kg in 2.1m of load length, and it parks on a restricted road near the station where nothing larger could. A medium at 800kg takes two standard pallets or three Euro where there is more to it.
The rest of the range is available: a tail lift on the box Luton where one is wanted, and the flat bed at 2.7m and 800kg for a piece longer than a van door. For an office address here the smaller vehicle is almost always right.
The fleet page lists every class, UK pallet sizes explained covers footprints, and the fleet holds FORS accreditation with the renewal running through 2026.
Where Shenfield work goes
London first, which is why most of these businesses are here at all. Billericay and Brentwood are minutes off, Chelmsford is up the A12, and junction 28 puts Harlow and Stansted within easy reach on the M11.
Other services we run in Shenfield
Two-man delivery for office equipment and furniture, and for a delicate piece too awkward for one person. Same-day courier where the item is robust and only the date matters. Multi-drop taking Shenfield, Brentwood and Billericay on one vehicle. Next-day courier where the deadline is tomorrow.

Shenfield questions
Normally on a Brentwood run, and that works in your favour here. A collection in each town is one job, and it widens the hours we can offer on an eleven-mile leg.
Nowhere for long, which is why we fix a time instead of offering a half-day window. The roads fill early and the restrictions are tight, so we want the consignment ready and a number that answers, and we time the arrival to that.
No, and neither is something we offer. The driver gives you a view on the packaging at your own premises, before anything is loaded.
Files, documents, samples, instruments and small office consignments. These are professional and commuter businesses rather than industrial ones, so a pallet is unusual and the small van is generally right.
Yes, and on this service that is rather the point. We want the company, the floor, the contact and a mobile number, and we hold on for that person rather than leaving contracts or a sample case at a reception desk.
One of the better ones we have. Junction 28 is on the doorstep, so a consignment for Harlow or Stansted takes on very little extra mileage against starting further east.
Yes. Hutton sits on the same run as Shenfield and Brentwood, and which of the three the address falls in changes nothing practical.
4pm, Monday to Friday, and eleven miles makes that comfortable. What a fragile job wants first is a short conversation about the packaging, the access and the signature at the far end, so an hour ahead is worth more to us than ten minutes.
