Multi-drop courier service in Shenfield
Tasito runs multi-drop rounds across Shenfield, taking in the professional offices around the Elizabeth line terminus, the Hutton Road addresses, the retail and services around the station, and Hutton and Brentwood on the same vehicle. Eleven miles from us, west on the A127 and up through Brentwood, or off the A12.
A Shenfield round is not a pallet round. The Elizabeth line ends its eastern run here, and that one fact accounts for most of the commercial activity: professional firms, consultancies, and businesses after London access on an Essex rent. The work is documents, files, samples, small equipment and office consignments, so what the sequence is built from is the hour each stop can be worked rather than the weight on board. Bookings close at 4pm, Monday to Friday.
What a Shenfield round is made of
Many short stops rather than a few long ones. A set of contracts collected from one office, files from a second, samples from a third, and a small equipment drop at a fourth is a typical shape, and the whole lot fits in the smallest van we run.
The industrial work in this part of Essex is not here. For palletised freight it is Childerditch in Brentwood or the Basildon estates, both of which sit on the same vehicle's day if the round needs them.
Send the list in any order and we will sequence it. Where a stop has a person rather than a goods-in desk at the end of it, that is the fixed point, and we build the rest around the times those people have confirmed.
The station, and the hour each stop gets
The station car park and the streets feeding it fill from early in the morning and fill again through the late afternoon, with tight parking restrictions over the whole of that area. A van cannot wait outside an office on Hutton Road while somebody comes down.
On a round that puts dwell time at the top of the planning rather than mileage. Send a window for each stop, keep the consignment ready, and include a mobile for whoever hands it across, and the round works its way through the centre without a van circling anything. Eleven miles means we have the room to time arrivals to suit the list rather than taking them as the day falls, which is the part most rounds this close in get for free and most rounds further out do not.
The Brentwood and Hutton pairing
Because Shenfield sits on the Brentwood run, two things follow for a round.
Stops in Shenfield, Hutton and Brentwood are one sequence rather than two or three bookings, and the pricing follows that. Hutton, Shenfield and Brentwood make no practical difference to us as separate names, so a list spread across all three is a single tight cluster with Billericay a few minutes further.
The other is the direction a round can carry on in. A list here starts next to M25 junction 28, which means a round carrying on north to Harlow or Stansted takes on barely any mileage against one setting out from further east. Into London is the other obvious direction, and the reason a good share of these businesses are here at all.
What we send and what fits
A Shenfield round sits at the small end of the fleet and stays there, because the constraint is the kerb rather than the load. A short wheelbase at 450kg across 2.1m holds documents, files and small parcels for a full round of them. A medium at 800kg, taking two standard pallets or three Euro, covers a list with a little more to it.
The full range is available, and one stop is all it takes to change that. Where a Childerditch or Basildon pallet joins the list, the class moves up: the 3.3m long wheelbase for three standard or four Euro, the 4.2m extra-long for four standard or five Euro, and a Luton for six of either at 1,000kg in 4.2m by 2.0m by 2.1m, the box version bringing a tail lift for an end with no forklift. For office addresses around the station the smaller van is nearly always the right call, and it gets through a restricted kerb in a fraction of the time.
The fleet page carries every class and UK pallet sizes explained sets out standard against Euro. The fleet is FORS accredited, with the accreditation renewed for 2026.
Where Shenfield work goes
Into London, which is the obvious direction and the reason most businesses sit here. Brentwood and Billericay are minutes away and go on the same round. Chelmsford is up the A12, and junction 28 puts Harlow and Stansted within reach on the end of a sequence.

Shenfield questions
Yes, and it is one job rather than three. All three fall on one run for us and which of them a given stop belongs to makes no practical odds. Billericay goes on the end comfortably.
No. Send the list and we will sequence it. Tell us the window for each stop and who is handing over, because on a round of office addresses those confirmed times are the fixed points.
Not easily, which is the position rather than an excuse. Traffic round the station builds early and the restrictions there are tight. We want the consignment ready and a contactable person, and at eleven miles we can time arrivals to suit the list rather than circling.
Documents, files, samples and small office consignments. Business here is professional and commuter in character rather than industrial, which makes palletised freight unusual. If you do have pallets, Childerditch in Brentwood and the Basildon estates are where that work usually starts.
Yes, and for document work that is normally the point. Give us the company, the floor, the contact and a mobile for each stop. We would rather wait for the right person than leave contracts at a reception desk, and the time for that goes into the sequence.
One of the best in our patch. The list is already beside M25 junction 28, so a round carrying on to Harlow or Stansted adds very little mileage against starting from further east.
The small end of the fleet unless something on the list needs more. A short wheelbase at 450kg covers a full round of documents and samples, and it gets in and out of a restricted kerb far faster than anything larger.
Yes, once the stops settle. A fixed rate with a set sequence and a known vehicle costs less than booking the same round each week, and the confirmed collection times stop being renegotiated every Monday.
