shows up when we said

Scheduled same-day and next-day runs across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Ipswich and Toowoomba — tail-lift trucks, call-ahead drivers, PODs that arrive before you think to ask.

[01 // The service]

Metro work is a routing problem, and we're good at it

Every weekday morning the dispatch board fills with runs — a pallet to a cafe in West End, three cartons to a surgery in Chermside, a tonne of tiles to a site in Yatala. The job is grouping them so each run is tight, honest and on time.

Because we run our own vehicles only, the driver who takes your booking note is the driver who knocks on the door. No app-gig handoffs, no "third party contractor" surprises.

Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast daily
Ipswich and Toowoomba on set runs
Residential drops with tail-lift and call-ahead

Booked before 15:00, metro freight moves the same day. If we can't make a window we'll tell you at booking — not at 4pm on the day.

[02 // Pricing]

What metro delivery costs

Priced per delivery by zone, or per vehicle for half/full-day hire. The number on the quote is the number on the invoice.

What you book	Includes	Price
Brisbane metro delivery	Up to 500 kg, tail-lift if needed	$38per delivery
Gold / Sunshine Coast	Same-day or overnight run	$52per delivery
Toowoomba & Ipswich	Scheduled corridor runs	$88per delivery
Two-man crew + half-day vehicle	Bulky items, stairs, placement inside	$65per hour

Failed-delivery redelivery is free when the receiver's details were right — we check the address at booking for exactly this reason.

[03 // Process]

How metro delivery jobs run

Five steps from your call to a signature on the glass.

Same-day
cut-off 15:00

Step 01

Book by 15:00

Phone, email or the quote form. We confirm the window and the vehicle type straight away.

Step 02

Address check

We verify the receiver details and site access — this is where most failed deliveries get prevented.

Step 03

Freight collected

Driver scans at pickup and the run gets grouped into tonight's or this arvo's route.

Step 04

Call-ahead delivery

Receiver gets a courtesy call 20–30 minutes out. Tail-lift, trolley and hand unload as booked.

Step 05

POD lands

Signature and timestamp hit your inbox — usually before the driver's back on the road.

[06 // The crew]

The metro crew

Metro drivers carry the company name on every doorstep, so we hire for the doorstep part as much as the driving part. Jodie runs the run sheet; the drivers know which loading docks hide behind which alley.

Every metro vehicle is ours, serviced in-house on Saturday mornings when the runs are quiet.

Jodie Walsh

Metro coordinator

Groups every run herself. Knows the access quirks of most SEQ sites.

Con Papas

Metro driver

Does the CBD loop daily. Cafes on his route set watches by him.

Darren Betz

Owner

Still does a metro run most Fridays. Says it keeps him honest.

[07 // Compare]

Metro vs the other options

Same-day inside SEQ is metro's job. If it's heading interstate, or sitting for a while, one of the other services fits better.

Service	Best for	Speed	From
Interstate freight	Pallets up & down the seaboard	1–3 days	$165per pallet, BNE→SYD
Metro & last-mile	Brisbane / SEQ drops	Same or next day	$38per delivery
Warehousing	Stock between jobs	Same-day in/out	$14per pallet / week
Pallet distribution	Bulk in, many drops out	Next day	$22per pallet out
Express courier	Time-critical anything	Inside 60 min dispatch	$55metro hotshot
Freight management	Outsourced freight desk	Ongoing	$490per month

Inside SEQ the scheduled run wins on price nine times out of ten — the tenth is what express exists for.

[08 // Questions]

Metro delivery questions

The ones dispatch hears weekly. Anything else — call +61 7 3154 8823.

Yes — residential drops get a tail-lift truck and a call-ahead as standard. Tell us about stairs or tight access at booking and we'll send the right vehicle and crew size.

15:00 on weekdays for Brisbane metro. Coast runs leave earlier, so coast-bound freight wants to be booked by midday to be safe.

The driver calls them, then calls you. If we have to bring it back, redelivery is free when the address details you gave us were correct.

Our metro fleet runs up to 8-pallet trucks with tail-lifts. For single items over about 800 kg we spec it as a dedicated job — usually still same-day.

That's how most of our metro clients work — a fixed window each day at a fixed weekly rate. Ask about run agreements on the contact page.
