- 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.

Same-day parts interchange across Melbourne
Melbourne's automotive trade runs on a constant flow of parts — dealership to dealership, distributor to workshop, dismantler to smash repairer. Drop-X keeps that flow same-day: a sensor from a Campbellfield warehouse to a Dandenong workshop before lunch, a windscreen to a mobile fitter, a gearbox across town so the job leaves the hoist tonight. One dispatcher, one driver, no depot delays.
From a fuse to a full engine
Small parts travel in cars and vans at small-parts rates; engines, gearboxes, diffs and palletised stock go on utes and one-tonne trays with tail-lift handling where needed. Parts departments moving 5+ pallets a day, 3+ regional deliveries a week or 15–20+ small deliveries a day qualify for a freight account — consolidated monthly billing, priority dispatch and negotiated rates.
Emergency auto parts delivery, day or night
A vehicle off road costs money every hour it sits. For VOR jobs, fleet breakdowns and repair deadlines, Drop-X runs emergency auto parts delivery 24 hours a day: call 1300 973 038 at any hour, tell dispatch where the part is waiting — a dealer's after-hours counter, a parts distributor, a dismantler or your own store — and a driver brings it straight to the workshop or depot. Truck and bus fleets doing night maintenance, and dealerships and workshops in Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Shepparton and other regional centres, can book emergency parts runs at any hour too. Timing is confirmed per booking, and jobs booked from 5pm add the $110 after-hours fee.

Interstate road freight
Planning automotive parts freight on a listed interstate route?
For automotive parts businesses with suitable road freight, compare the existing Melbourne–Sydney, Melbourne–Adelaide and Melbourne–Canberra routes in both directions. Each consignment is assessed individually; not every freight category is accepted interstate. Cold-chain and air transport are not offered.
Interstate consignments are quoted separately. Exact addresses, freight, handling needs, timing and vehicle availability must be confirmed before acceptance.

Frequently asked questions
How quickly can you deliver car parts across Melbourne?
Across metro Melbourne, pickup is typically within 60 minutes of booking during business hours. Tell dispatch the addresses, freight details and requested timing; delivery estimates are confirmed for the booking and are not guaranteed.
Can you carry panels and windscreens without damage?
Yes. Bulky and fragile parts travel on vans and trays with appropriate restraint, handled by drivers who move automotive freight daily. Flag fragile items at booking and the driver will load accordingly.
Do you move engines and gearboxes?
Yes — palletised engines, gearboxes and driveline components up to 500kg travel on tail-lift vehicles with pallet jacks for workshops without a forklift.
Can you run parts to regional Victorian workshops?
Yes. Same-day runs to Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo and workshops across regional Victoria, plus scheduled next-day services with transparent per-kilometre pricing — the item rate plus $1.95 per km of road distance (beyond 100 km, extra kilometres at $2.50), inc GST. Emergency parts runs to regional workshops and fleet depots can be booked at any hour.
Do you deliver after hours for smash repairers?
Yes. After-hours, weekend and public holiday delivery keeps repair deadlines on track — book on 1300 973 038 any day of the year.
Do you offer 24-hour emergency auto parts delivery?
Yes, for business customers. Dispatch answers 1300 973 038 24 hours a day, every day of the year, so VOR and breakdown parts can be collected and delivered at any hour, subject to vehicle availability. Arrange access at the pickup — a dealer or distributor's after-hours counter, or your own store — and dispatch confirms the estimated timing before you book. Jobs booked from 5pm add the $110 after-hours fee.
Do parts departments get account terms?
Yes. Operations running 5+ pallets a day, 3+ regional deliveries a week or 15–20+ small deliveries a day qualify for a business freight account with invoice terms, consolidated monthly billing and negotiated volume pricing reviewed quarterly.
