Multi-drop courier service in Billericay
Tasito runs multi-drop rounds across Billericay, a seven mile leg north by way of the A176 or across off the A127. The addresses are the High Street and Sun Corner, the professional firms behind them, and the small commercial units dotted around the edges of the town. Surveyors, accountants, solicitors and consultancies account for a good part of it, with retail and services through the centre.
Industrial space here is scarce. The borough keeps its employment land five miles to the south, on the Basildon estates: Cranes, Burnt Mills, Christopher Martin Road, Festival Business Park and Pipps Hill. A Billericay round therefore carries deeds, files, surveys, documents, samples and the odd piece of office equipment rather than pallet freight, which puts the order of the day in the hands of where a vehicle can lawfully stop rather than how much is going aboard. Bookings run until 4pm.
What a Billericay list usually holds
Client addresses, offices and small units, with a consignment at each that one person can hand over. That makes the stops short, and it makes a round of ten of them realistic in a way it would not be on an estate.
The vehicle for most of this is the short wheelbase at 450kg with a 2.1m load space, which is the smallest and least expensive thing we run. There is no reason for a set of contracts to travel in anything bigger, and the smaller van has a far better chance of a legal stop through the centre.
The High Street and Sun Corner
Loading is restricted through the middle of the town and the commuter parking fills early, so a van cannot sit and wait for a call to be answered.
That makes the centre stops the timed ones on an otherwise flexible list. We place them where somebody is there to meet the driver, and because we are seven miles away rather than thirty-five we can pick the arrival time to suit that rather than circling until it works. Give us a mobile for whoever is handing over at each address and the centre section of the round runs cleanly.
Putting the stops in order
Send the list in any order. We work out which addresses sit close enough to walk between, which need the van parked somewhere legal nearby, and which sit out on the edges of the town and are better taken on the way in or the way out.
Where one of the stops has a fixed time, that goes in first and the rest follows from it. The small units around the edges are the flexible part, so they absorb the slack rather than the centre addresses, where there is none to absorb.
What we send and what fits
A round is sized on the total load, and on a Billericay list that total is rarely the constraint. The short wheelbase at 450kg covers most of it. A medium at 800kg taking two standard pallets or three Euro handles a list with more to it, and the full range is available for anything heavier: three standard or four Euro in the 3.3m long wheelbase, four standard or five Euro in the 4.2m extra-long, six of either in the Luton at 1,000kg.
What to check with us is where each stop is as much as what it weighs. Park a Luton outside a High Street office and the contents make no difference to the trouble it causes, so where a single palletised drop lands on a list of centre addresses we either size down and run that pallet on its own, or move it to an end of the round where the vehicle can stand properly. When it does go, the tail lift on the box version means nothing is needed at your end to get the pallet off.
Classes are listed on the fleet page, and UK pallet sizes explained compares the standard footprint with the Euro one. The fleet holds FORS accreditation, renewed for 2026, which counts at the far end when a round closes on a London site.
Where Billericay work goes
London takes most of it, out on the A127 and then the A13. Chelmsford is north by the A129 onto the A12. Wickford, Basildon and Brentwood all sit close enough that any of them can hang off the end of a Billericay round instead of being booked by itself.
Other services we run in Billericay
Next-day courier wherever nothing has to land today, which covers plenty of professional document work for less money. Same-day courier for one urgent item. Two-man delivery where office furniture or equipment has to go up to a floor. Planning, routing and sorting where the same client addresses come back every week.
The multi-drop courier service page sets out the booking detail. For a round made up of document work, what a courier is and how it differs from a parcel carrier is the other page worth a look.
Billericay questions
Not much at all. This is a town of professional firms, small units and a high street, with the borough's employment land kept five miles south on the Basildon estates. A round here means documents and small consignments, which suits the smallest body we run.
Yes. Restrictions through the centre and parking that goes early mean no waiting about, which is why those stops are placed where somebody is standing by to hand over. Seven miles out, we can time the arrival instead of circling.
No. Send the whole list and we sequence it. Tell us which addresses have a fixed time and those go in first, with the units on the edges of the town taking up the slack.
A lot more than on an estate, because each stop is one consignment and one signature. Send the list with the contact at each address and we will tell you how it comes out.
Yes, and a good share of the work here is exactly that. One vehicle, and every consignment put into the hands of the person named for it instead of left with whoever is on a front desk. Say who has to sign at each stop.
Then it goes at an end of the round where the vehicle can stand properly, or it runs on its own. A Luton on a High Street kerb causes the same trouble whatever is inside it, so where the stop is counts for as much as the pallet total.
Yes. Chelmsford is up the A129 and A12, Brentwood and Wickford are short hops, and any of them sits on the end of a round rather than needing a separate booking.
Yes. Put it on a schedule and the sequence is set, the vehicle is known and the rate is fixed, which comes in under booking the same addresses week by week.
