The delivery arm for Melbourne's trade suppliers
Plumbing merchants, electrical wholesalers, hardware and building suppliers all face the same problem: the customer needs it on site today, and the delivery truck is already full or gone. Drop-X is the overflow fleet — a driver at your counter within the hour, materials direct to the site, and photo proof back to close out the order. Suppliers keep the sale; builders keep the schedule.
Built for trade freight
Utes and one-tonne trays carry pipe, conduit, timber lengths and sheet goods; vans handle fittings, fixtures and boxed stock; tail-lift vehicles move palletised orders where there's no forklift on site. Multi-drop bookings cover several sites off one pickup, and suppliers running daily volume qualify for account terms with consolidated billing.
What we typically move
- Plumbing supplies, pipe and fittings
- Electrical materials, cable drums and switchgear
- Timber lengths, sheet goods and cladding
- Fixings, fasteners and hardware orders
- Tapware, fixtures and appliances to site
- Hire equipment and small plant transfers
- Palletised orders from trade warehouses
- Urgent top-up orders for stood-down crews

Frequently asked questions
How fast can materials get from the supplier to site?
Pickup is typically within 60 minutes of booking across metro Melbourne, with direct delivery to site in 1–3 hours depending on distance. When a crew is stood down waiting, tell dispatch and the job gets hot-shot priority.
Can you carry long lengths like pipe and timber?
Yes. Utes and one-tonne trays carry lengths up to 2400mm as standard freight. For longer sections, call dispatch and we confirm the right vehicle before booking.
Can you deliver to sites without a forklift?
Yes. Tail-lift vehicles with pallet jacks handle palletised orders on sites with no unloading equipment. For loose materials, the driver offloads to the designated site area.
Do you do multi-site runs from one supplier?
Yes — one pickup from your counter or warehouse with multiple site drops on the same booking is one of our most common trade jobs. Each drop gets its own photo proof of delivery.
Do you deliver to regional job sites?
Yes. Same-day runs to sites around Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo and across regional Victoria, with fixed pricing by destination from $330 inc GST.
Can suppliers set up a trade account?
Yes. Suppliers running 5+ deliveries a day or regular weekly volume qualify for freight accounts — invoice terms, consolidated monthly billing, priority dispatch and volume pricing.
