Same-day courier service in Harlow
Tasito provides dedicated same-day courier services across Harlow, including The Pinnacles and Templefields, Harlow Science Park and the New Frontiers site. From trade stock and manufacturing parts to instruments, equipment and time-critical consignments, we collect directly from your premises and deliver in a vehicle matched to the load.
Harlow is not a general industrial town and we do not treat it like one. A good share of what leaves here comes off sites with controlled access and booked goods-in windows rather than open yards, which changes how a collection has to be set up.
Where we collect in Harlow
The Pinnacles and Templefields are the two main industrial areas and cover most of the light industrial and manufacturing work. Those are ordinary estate collections with yard access, so a Luton gets in and six pallets is the normal answer.
Harlow Science Park and the New Frontiers site work differently. Controlled access, booked goods-in windows, and in some cases a site pass rather than a drive-up. If your consignment is leaving one of those, tell us which site and who the contact is when you book, so we arrive with the right paperwork at the right gate rather than burning your slot.
The Harlow Enterprise Zone covers the science and technology sites.
Temperature-controlled work
If your consignment has a temperature to hold, we have a vehicle for it rather than cool boxes in the back of a van.
It has an insulated body and its own refrigeration unit, holding chilled or frozen conditions for the length of the journey. Load space is 4.2m by 2.0m by 2.1m with a 1,000kg payload and room for six pallets, and it works on multi-drop as well as point to point. Because the job is dedicated, the doors open at your collection and your delivery and nowhere in between, which is where most temperature loss happens on a shared run.
As a guide, it holds chilled goods from 0 to 8°C and frozen at -18°C or below. Tell us the range your consignment has to stay inside and we confirm before quoting that we can hold it.
There is one of them and it gets allocated rather than kept spare, so earlier notice makes a real difference on a 28 mile run out to Harlow.
The roads, and why they matter here
M25 junction 27 is the problem. It goes in both peaks and there is no good alternative once you are committed to it, which is why we sometimes take the longer A12 route instead.
The M11 southbound at junction 7 is the other. If your deadline is a flight or a freight cut-off rather than close of business, give us the actual time and we work backwards from it.
Where Harlow work goes
Other services we run in Harlow
Next-day courier for anything with a tomorrow deadline. Two-man delivery for science park and industrial equipment that needs two people to move safely. Planning, routing and sorting if you are running regular movements between sites and want them planned properly rather than booked one at a time, which is how most of the traffic between these sites works in practice.
The full same-day courier service has the booking detail.
Harlow questions
Yes, but these are controlled-access sites with booked goods-in windows rather than places we can drive into. Give us the site and the contact when you book and we will arrive with what the gate needs. Turning up without that wastes your slot and our time.
Yes, on the one temperature-controlled vehicle we run. It has an insulated body and its own refrigeration unit and holds condition for the whole journey, and because the job is dedicated the doors open at your collection and your delivery and nowhere between. Tell us the range it has to stay inside and we confirm before quoting that we can hold it.
Ask before you book rather than after. A refrigerated vehicle holds the temperature, and a documented record with calibrated monitoring and downloadable data is a separate question. We will tell you what is available on the vehicle assigned to your job rather than letting you find out afterwards.
The two addresses, what the consignment is and the deadline as a real time rather than end of day. If the collection is on one of the controlled-access sites, the site name and a contact as well. That is usually the difference between the van getting in first time and a slot going to waste.
M25 junction 27 is the bottleneck between us and Harlow, and when it goes there is no quick way out of it. The A130 and A12 to the M11 is further in miles and often faster in practice. We make that call on the day based on what the roads are doing.
Yes, a short hop up the M11 to junction 8. If your consignment is going as air freight, give us the flight cut-off rather than a delivery time and we work backwards from it.
4pm, Monday to Friday. If your deadline is a flight or a freight cut-off rather than close of business, tell us the real time, because that changes the answer. The refrigerated vehicle also takes longer to allocate than a standard van.
That is planning, routing and sorting rather than same-day. If you are moving between the same two sites several times a week, planning it costs less than booking six separate same-day jobs, and the timings get more reliable because they stop being ad hoc.
