Sorrento courier FAQs

Can I request a 10-pallet tail-lift truck in Sorrento?

Yes. Drop-X quotes truck jobs to or from Sorrento 3943 separately. Regional truck requests are assessed individually; courier coverage does not confirm truck availability. Send both addresses, each pallet's packed dimensions and gross weight, and whether a dock, forklift or the tail lift is needed; ten pallet spaces are not a payload or tail-lift rating.

Can I request a car, ute or van in Sorrento?

Yes. Drop-X books cars, utes and vans for business courier jobs and quotes 10-pallet tail-lift trucks separately. Send both addresses, packed dimensions, weight and loading details; dispatch confirms the vehicle, availability and timing.
