Pallet freight pricing in Victoria depends on the pallet, route, access and service requested. The current pricing page is the starting point; dispatch confirms the booking-specific quote.

What dispatch needs to quote a pallet

Provide the pallet type and condition, total dimensions including the load, weight, packaging, pickup and delivery addresses, access equipment and requested timing. Not sure which pallet you have? Our guide to pallet types covers the differences.

Route distance and access matter

The current pricing page explains how route distance is treated. Access, loading equipment, waiting requirements, extra stops and handling can also affect the quote, so do not assume that two pallets with the same footprint will cost the same.

Regional and metro requests

Metro and regional pallet requests can require different vehicles, route planning and service options. Dispatch confirms the available timing, handling and price for the exact addresses rather than applying a promise based only on the destination.

Hypothetical examples

These are planning examples, not customer case studies or quotes:

A standard pallet on a short metro route may be assessed differently from the same pallet on a regional route.
A Euro pallet, oversized load or pallet requiring a tail-lift may need a different vehicle or handling assessment.
A request with flexible timing may be assessed differently from an urgent same-day request.

Regular sender enquiries

Regular senders can ask about a freight account. Any account pricing, billing or service terms are confirmed for the business and should not be assumed from an old example.

Confirm what the quote includes

Review the current pallet delivery and pricing pages, then ask dispatch to confirm what is included in the quote and which handling or access conditions apply. Call 1300 973 038 for a booking-specific assessment.
