Moving freight south from Sydney to Melbourne should be as dependable as the run north. Drop-X collects from any Sydney pickup — CBD, Western Sydney, the North Shore or surrounding industrial estates — and delivers to any Melbourne metro or suburban address, all coordinated through a single Melbourne dispatcher. Standard consignments travel on the overnight road line-haul down the Hume; urgent loads go onto the next available flight and are hand-delivered in Melbourne the same day.
