Inner Melbourne courier service
CBD, Docklands, Southbank and the inner ring
Inner Melbourne is the densest dispatch zone we work — legal satchels out of William Street chambers, exhibition freight at the MCEC, samples from the Parkville hospital precinct and trade-show stand parts at Marvel Stadium move on a near-hourly cycle. Drop-X runs cars, vans and one-tonne vehicles through the CBD grid, Docklands towers, Southbank, Port Melbourne and the inner residential pockets all day, every business day.

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.
