Pallet Types FAQ
What is the difference between new and Grade A pallets?
Grade A pallets are lightly used (1-2 times) but appear like new. They offer 20-30% savings compared to brand new pallets with the same functionality.
Can any grade be heat treated?
Yes! We can heat treat any grade of pallet to meet ISPM-15 requirements for international shipping. Heat treatment adds approximately $2 per pallet.
How do I know what grade I received?
All pallets are clearly marked with their grade. Grade A has no visible repairs, Grade B has minor repairs, and Grade C has multiple visible repairs.
Can I mix grades in one order?
We can mix grades to optimize your costs - for example, Grade A for retail-facing items and Grade C for backroom storage.
Do you offer pallet samples?
Yes! We can provide samples of each grade so you can assess quality before placing a large order.
What if I get damaged pallets?
We guarantee quality. If any pallet does not meet the grade specifications, we will replace it free of charge.
