What we don't do

No personal or household deliveries — business freight only.

Keeping our scope tight is how we deliver every job reliably. Drop-X does not handle:

  • Household moves & furniture removals
  • Residential addresses are accepted for business-related freight only. Personal deliveries are not available.
  • Airfreight & seafreight
  • Perishables needing refrigerated trucks. We don’t run temperature-controlled vehicles.
  • Narrow time-slot bookings
  • Click & collect pickups from retail shops
  • Linehaul or backloading. Regional deliveries are completed as a dedicated express service — your shipment is transported directly to its destination by a single driver.

We simplified the complexity behind courier pricing

Every delivery has different requirements. Drop-X handles the logistics behind the scenes and brings the simplicity of online shopping to courier bookings — clear pricing, easy checkout, and delivery confirmation in minutes.

The traditional courier process

  1. Request a quote
  2. Answer questions about your delivery
    • Where is it going?
    • What are you sending?
    • How large is it?
    • When do you need it?
  3. Wait while the price is calculated
  4. Approve the quote and arrange the booking

The result

  • Waiting for a response
  • Unclear final pricing
  • Back-and-forth calls and emails

The Drop-X process

  1. Enter your delivery details
  2. Our system calculates the logistics
    • Pickup and delivery locations
    • Freight requirements
    • Service option
  3. See your price instantly
  4. Book online and receive confirmation

The result

  • Price upfront
  • No waiting for quotes
  • Simple online checkout

Courier pricing can be complex behind the scenes, but booking your delivery shouldn’t be. Drop-X manages the logistics for you, providing clear upfront pricing and simple online booking in minutes.
