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 or seafreight forwarding. Interstate services are road freight only.
  • Perishables needing refrigerated trucks. We don’t run temperature-controlled vehicles.
  • Narrow time-slot bookings
  • Click & collect pickups from retail shops
  • Shared backloading or unquoted linehaul. Regional deliveries are completed as a dedicated express service. Interstate freight is available as a separately quoted service.

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. Review the quoted price
  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.

Practical booking guidance

Plan a same day courier booking in Outer North

For same day courier, confirm your required timing with dispatch. If it can wait, ask about the separate next-day option. Dispatch checks the collection and destination, freight, road route and available vehicle before confirming a plan for Outer North (Metro Melbourne).

What can be collected or delivered?

Business road freight such as documents, satchels, cartons, pallets and suitable non-temperature-controlled freight can be assessed. Share the piece count, dimensions, weight, loading access and receiving details. Personal or household deliveries, refrigerated or cold-chain freight, and air or sea freight are not offered.

How to arrange next-day booking

Select next-day in the online booking form, or tell dispatch the collection date, pickup and delivery addresses, freight details and site requirements. Dispatch confirms the applicable cut-off, route capacity and estimated road timing for the booking; a narrow or guaranteed time slot is not offered.

How the 12% saving applies

The current pricing information lists 12% off eligible next-day prebookings. This is for the planned next-day option, not an urgent same-day request. For regional jobs, the 12% discount applies to the total regional price, including the base item rate and per-kilometre charges. Ask dispatch or check the booking quote to confirm the applicable rate; do not assume it combines with another rate or fee.

What changes price and availability?

Price and availability depend on the freight type and dimensions, total weight and pieces, road distance, vehicle and loading access, requested timing, route conditions and capacity. After-hours, weekend, public-holiday or special handling requirements are assessed separately. See the current pricing page for the rate card; the price and available plan are confirmed before booking.

Where to book or ask about an urgent alternative

Urgent alternatives are road-freight requests only. Dispatch assesses the route, freight, timing and vehicle availability before confirming whether an alternative is possible.
