Next-day courier services in Canary Wharf

The building's goods-in slot becomes the fixed point and we plan the morning around it. Order by 4pm and the vehicle is allocated that evening.

Next-day courier service in Canary Wharf

Tasito runs next-day courier work to Canary Wharf and the business addresses of the Isle of Dogs, from the smaller offices at Heron Quays and South Quay up to the tower estates. The traffic is corporate hospitality supplies, AV and IT equipment, office consignments and legal and financial paperwork, taken up to a named floor and handed to a named person. Yards do not exist here. Deliveries arrive through basement service bays that carry height restrictions, screening at the gate, slots booked in advance, and whatever vehicle rules the estate adds on top.

All of which makes a planned booking the right shape for this address. The building's slot is the fixed point, and a day's notice means our morning is drawn around it rather than the reverse. The building, the floor, the contact and the goods-in reference go on the order, the restriction is checked before the vehicle is held that evening, and the van lands inside the window. Orders close at 4pm, Monday to Friday.

The goods-in slot, agreed before the morning

Most buildings on the estate expect a delivery to be booked against a named recipient beforehand, and several want the driver's details in advance too. Screening at the gate then adds time on top of that.

On a next-day job none of this is an obstacle, only paperwork. Send the building, the floor or the company, a contact name, a mobile and the goods-in reference where one exists, and the driver reaches the barrier holding what the desk will ask for. Where the building issues the window rather than accepting ours, give us the window and the collection time is worked back from it.

Their cut-off outranks ours. Orders come in until 4pm, but a van at a service bay that closed at 17:00 has delivered nothing, so we plan to the bay's hours and tell you the collection time those hours imply.

What the height limit does to the vehicle

This is what catches people at Canary Wharf, and the pallet count has nothing to do with it.

Internal load height in a Luton is 2.1m and the body stands higher again, so at most tower addresses it will not get down the ramp. The usual answer is 3.3m in a long wheelbase with three standard pallets, or 4.2m in an extra-long with four, running twice where the volume asks for it. A vehicle that fits, used twice, beats one that gets turned round at the top of the ramp.

Most of what moves here is small and urgent rather than heavy, so a short wheelbase at 450kg across 2.1m is often both the right class and the cheapest, and a smaller van has a better chance of stopping legally on the estate roads.

Name the building on the order and the restriction is checked the evening before, not at the ramp. Classes and load dimensions are set out on the fleet page, and UK pallet sizes explained covers Euro against standard footprints. FORS accreditation runs across the fleet, renewed for 2026, which satisfies access at the larger estates and at fit-out or construction work on the estate.

The charging position

Canary Wharf lies beyond the reach of the Congestion Charge. The central zone stops short of the estate, and the charge for a day in that zone became £18 on 2 January 2026, so identical work costs less delivered here than a mile and a half to the west.

ULEZ is a different matter and covers every London borough: £12.50 for the day where a van is not compliant. Compliant vans go into London as standard, and in the rare case where the right vehicle for a job is not one, you hear the £12.50 before it moves.

Tunnels are what to watch instead. Blackwall and Silvertown both charge between 06:00 and 22:00, Christmas Day aside, with each passage counted on its own, and the Blackwall approach is a few hundred metres off the estate. Auto Pay puts a large van at £2.60 outside the peak and £6.80 inside it; without an account it is £6.80 at any chargeable hour. Jobs that stay north of the river never meet them, and an Essex collection delivered here is one of those.

Where Canary Wharf work goes

Greenwich and the City are both short runs, though the charging position differs at each, which is worth knowing before all three are booked together. Stratford lies north on the A12, and the road back to Essex is the A13.

With the route planned, several towers can be sequenced across one morning. The slots set the order rather than the map, so send a reference and a contact for each building and the sequence is built around the windows.

Other services we run in Canary Wharf

Same-day courier when the deadline is today and something follows from missing it. Two-man delivery for furniture, AV and IT going up to a floor instead of as far as a bay. Multi-drop over several towers in one run. Planning, routing and sorting at a fixed rate where the same movement reaches the same building week after week.

Booking, slots and tracking are set out on the main next-day courier service page.

Canary Wharf questions

4pm, Monday to Friday. Earlier helps where the building issues its own goods-in window, because allocation happens that evening and we would rather fix the collection time against a window already confirmed.

Usually not. Its internal height is 2.1m, the body is taller still, and most tower basements are restricted below that. We would send a long wheelbase carrying three pallets, or an extra-long carrying four, twice where the volume needs it. Give us the building and it gets checked rather than guessed.

Where the building runs one, yes. Holding the reference the evening before means the driver clears the barrier on your slot. Building, floor or company, contact name, mobile and reference is the whole list.

By putting a real allowance in the window instead of quoting an arrival that assumes the gate is clear. Name the deadline that counts and the morning is worked back from it.

No. The zone is central and the estate sits outside it. With the charge at £18 for a day since 2 January 2026, that is a real difference against a City drop for the same work. ULEZ still covers every London borough.

Only where the job crosses the river. The estate is on the north bank, so an Essex collection delivered here never meets a tunnel. Should the consignment carry on to Greenwich afterwards, that is when it arises, and the figure comes first.

A short wheelbase: 450kg of payload, 2.1m of load space. Documents and small parcels give no reason to hold anything larger, and the smaller van stops more easily on the estate roads.

Yes, and it is the sensible way round it. One van, one planned sequence, the drops ordered by their slots. Send a reference and a contact per building and the order is set the evening before.
