Frequently Asked
Questions

The most common request is the standard GMA 48x40 pallet. Partner suppliers in our network also handle other common sizes such as 42x42, 48x48, and 36x36, and some build custom dimensions to your specifications. Availability depends on the supplier. Visit our size guide for a breakdown of standard dimensions.

Minimums, if any, are set by the partner supplier who quotes your order and depend on the pallet type, quantity, and where you are located. Tell us how many pallets you need in your quote request and the supplier will let you know what they can do.

Grade A (#1) pallets are in like-new condition with few or no repairs and a clean appearance, a common choice for retail and export. Grade B (#2) pallets show normal wear and may have repairs, and are a good value for many warehouse and shipping applications. Grade C pallets show heavy wear and multiple repairs and are typically used for one-way shipping. Grading terms vary between suppliers, so confirm what each grade means when you get a quote.

Pricing depends on size, grade, quantity, location, and current market conditions, so it comes by quote from partner suppliers. Send us the details of what you need and a partner supplier follows up with pricing.

Yes, heat-treated pallets can be requested through partner suppliers. ISPM 15 heat treatment brings the wood core to 56 °C for 30 minutes, and treated pallets carry the official IPPC mark applied by the treatment provider. Wood pallets used for export generally need this treatment; check current regulations for your destination country.

Yes. We connect you with partner suppliers who build custom pallets to your dimensions, with your choice of lumber, board thickness, and treatment. Whether you need oversized pallets for machinery, narrow pallets for tight spaces, or designs for automated systems, describe your load in your request and a supplier follows up with options and a quote.

Partner suppliers typically dismantle pallets that cannot be repaired and salvage usable boards for repairing other pallets. Wood that cannot be reused can often be ground into mulch or fuel, and metal fasteners can be separated for scrap recycling. Ask the supplier how they handle the material you send them.

Reusing a pallet avoids building a new one, which means less new lumber cut for the same job. Repairing pallets keeps them in service longer, and recycling the wood that is left over keeps more of it in use. For many businesses, choosing recycled pallets is a straightforward sustainability step.
