    Shipping Pallets

    Hey guys, Whats are the costs etc involved in shipping pallets.

    Im starting to move bulk equipment and large servers by pallet, so I need to get the low down on how it all works. Is it more expensive etc.

    Thanks.

    Look in a local directory and find the companies that make pallets and contact them to compare prices..

    I remember reading an article once, about a guy who set up a company that fixed up and sold second hand pallets to companies at a very low price. The pallets were as good as new, just alot cheaper. Sorry I cant remember the comapny name, but i'm sure it would be worth looking into, might save you some money.

    Are you looking to buy pallets... or are you looking for the shipping prices for shipping pallets full of goods?

    Everything is done by weight, you would have to call a company to find out rates.

    You need two things:

    Zip codes for pick-up/delivery
    and
    Weight

    Then you can call UPS or FedEx to get everything you need
