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.

Why businesses choose Drop-X for regional VIC freight
Most freight networks treat regional Victoria as an afterthought. Drop-X built our network the other way around: daily dedicated runs to every major regional centre, real Melbourne dispatchers who know the route, and same-day urgent capability when things go wrong. From Truganina manufacturers shipping to Bendigo retailers, to Geelong wineries moving stock to city distributors, to Latrobe Valley energy operators needing critical parts overnight — we request timing and we will confirm what is available for the booking.

All industries we serveFrequently asked questions
What's the cut-off for next day delivery from Melbourne?
Next-business-day road-freight requests can be assessed for major regional Victorian centres. Dispatch confirms the applicable cut-off, capacity and estimated timing for each booking; next-day completion is not guaranteed.
Which regional Victorian towns do you cover next day?
All major regional centres and surrounding towns: Geelong, Mornington Peninsula, Ballarat, Bendigo, Shepparton, Albury-Wodonga, Warrnambool, Swan Hill, Mildura, Traralgon, Latrobe Valley, Bairnsdale and onward connections through Gippsland and the Western District.
Can I get same day delivery to regional Victoria?
Yes. Same day urgent regional runs to Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo and the Mornington Peninsula are available on demand for an additional fee. Cross-border same day to Albury-Wodonga is also available — call 1300 973 038 to arrange.
Do you deliver next day across the NSW border?
Yes. Drop-X runs daily next day freight to Albury and southern NSW, with onward connections to surrounding towns. Mildura and Bordertown (SA) are also serviced via dedicated state-border line-haul.
How is next day freight priced?
Regional next day delivery is priced per kilometre with a 12% discount off the standard same-day price. You pay the item rate ($35 small item up to $155 oversized pallet) plus $1.85 per km of road distance after the free distance — the first 20 km free on small-item jobs, or 50 km with a pallet on board — with kilometres beyond 100 charged at $2.30. All inc GST. Request a quote at /book.
Do you handle pallets and bulk freight?
Yes — pallets, cartons, bulky parcels and document satchels all move on the same overnight line-haul. Tail-lift and pallet jack handling is available at both ends on request.
Do you collect from regional Victoria back to Melbourne?
Regional-to-Melbourne business road freight can be requested in either direction. Dispatch confirms whether next-day or same-day timing is feasible for the specific booking.
Can you deliver to farms and rural properties?
Yes. Rural property and site deliveries are everyday work for our regional drivers. Add clear access directions and a site contact at booking, and tail-lift handling is available where there's no forklift on site.
