Straight answers about booking, timing, vehicles, and business accounts.
Booking & Quotes
How do I book a delivery?
Use the online quote flow (route, load, timing, vehicle, contact, in five quick steps) or contact dispatch. Every request is reviewed by a dispatcher who confirms pricing and a pickup window before anything moves. No account is required for one-off deliveries.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing follows the route, the load, the timing, and the vehicle class the job needs. You get the price from dispatch before you commit, with no surprise line items after the fact. Business accounts receive account pricing, and recurring routes are priced at the route level rather than per trip.
Do I need an account to use 5280 Delivery?
No. Anyone can book a single delivery through the quote flow. Accounts exist for businesses that deliver regularly. They add priority dispatch, consolidated billing, and route-level pricing, but they’re never a requirement for getting something moved.
Business Accounts
What does a business account include?
Priority dispatch, account pricing, consolidated monthly billing, delivery reporting, and the ability to set standing instructions per location. Accounts also unlock recurring routes with consistent drivers. There’s no volume minimum to start the conversation.
How do dedicated routes work?
You bring the cadence and the stops; we design the route, assign the vehicle class, and put pricing in writing. The route then runs on schedule, daily, on set weekdays, or weekly, with drivers who learn your docks, codes, and people. Stops can be adjusted as your operation changes.
Timing & Coverage
How fast can you deliver in Denver?
Same day service is available across the metro, and rush service dispatches a driver directly for deliveries that can’t wait. We confirm realistic timing at booking rather than promising clock-times Denver traffic doesn’t honor. What we quote is what we intend to hit.
What areas do you cover?
The full Denver Metro Area is our regular territory: Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Arvada, Westminster, Thornton, Centennial, Englewood, Littleton, Parker, Commerce City, Broomfield, Golden, Castle Rock, Boulder, and the communities between. Front Range and statewide runs are arranged through dispatch.
Can I schedule a delivery for a specific day and time window?
Yes. Scheduled delivery locks a specific day and window in advance, with the vehicle reserved. It’s the right choice when the delivery has to coordinate with receiving hours, a dock schedule, or a person on site.
How do I know my delivery arrived?
Every delivery is confirmed on completion, and dispatch is reachable throughout, with a person who can tell you where your delivery stands. Delivery status updates and proof of delivery are part of how every job closes out.
Vehicles & Loads
What can I send with 5280 Delivery?
Documents, packages, parts, equipment, inventory, and palletized freight. If it fits in a car, van, or box truck, it’s in scope. A few things need a conversation first: materials with regulatory handling requirements, and anything hazardous. Tell dispatch exactly what’s moving and you’ll get a straight answer.
What if I don’t know which vehicle my delivery needs?
Pick “Not Sure” in the quote flow. Describe the load (rough size, weight, and whether it’s palletized) and dispatch matches it to the right vehicle class. You’re never charged for truck space a van job doesn’t need.
Can you deliver where there’s no loading dock or forklift?
Yes. That’s what the liftgate box truck is for. It lowers heavy freight to ground level at storefronts, offices, jobsites, and anywhere else without dock infrastructure. Just tell us what’s waiting at the destination when you book.
