Pricing FAQs

Common pricing questions

Waiting time, fuel levy, priority and after-hours charges — the answers customers ask us most before they book.

Does waiting time apply to pickups and deliveries?

Every job includes a grace period of 10 minutes at pickup and 10 minutes at delivery at no charge. If our driver is held up beyond that grace period, waiting time is charged in line with the vehicle and job — call our dispatch team on 1300 973 038 for the current waiting-time rate before you book.

Are Drop-X Transport prices inclusive of GST?

Yes. All metro item rates, service add-ons and regional Victoria zone prices shown on this page include GST.

What is the fuel levy and how is it calculated?

The fuel levy is the only variable applied on top of the flat metro base rate. It is calculated based on the delivery destination, so longer or more remote runs carry a slightly higher levy. There are no other hidden add-ons.

How much does a same-day priority delivery cost?

Priority delivery adds $55 to the base rate and gives you a 1–3 hour turnaround on same-day or next-day jobs. Standard same-day and next-day bookings are charged at the base item rate, with discounts available on next-day freight.

What are the after-hours delivery charges?

Deliveries booked from 5:00 PM onwards attract an after-hours fee from $110 on top of the base rate. Contact dispatch for weekend and public-holiday pricing.

Do you do regional Victoria same-day delivery?

Yes. We run same-day regional Victoria deliveries as dedicated point-to-point jobs — a car or van is assigned to your freight and driven straight through, priced using the zone table on this page. For lower-cost regional freight we also offer scheduled next-day services. Call dispatch on 1300 973 038 with your pickup and delivery towns and we'll confirm the fastest same-day option and price.

How is regional Victoria and interstate freight priced?

Regional runs are priced by distance zone and by the vehicle required — a car for parcels or a larger vehicle for pallet freight. Extended Metro (50–120km) starts at $330, with set rates through Zone 3 (300–400km). Zone 4 (400–500km) and any run beyond 500km is priced on application — contact us for a quote.

Do you charge extra for oversized or pallet freight?

Pallet and oversized freight is priced by item type rather than by weight: European pallets are $88, standard pallets $110, and oversized (over-height or over-width) freight $155 for metro deliveries. Regional pallet freight uses the Pallet / Van column in the zone table.
