Buy Pallets

Why pay full price for new pallets when recycled pallets perform just as well at a fraction of the cost? Our recycled pallets are inspected, repaired when necessary, and graded to ensure they meet the demands of your specific application. From warehouse storage to interstate shipping, we have the right pallet for your needs.

Our inventory turns over rapidly, which means you are getting pallets that are fresh, properly stored, and ready for immediate deployment. We stock all standard sizes with a focus on the 48x40 GMA format that dominates American commerce, but we also maintain healthy inventories of specialty sizes including 42x42, 48x48, 48x42, 40x40, and 36x36. If you need a custom size we do not stock, we can build it to your specifications.

  • Save 40-60% compared to new pallets
  • Multiple grades to fit every budget
  • All standard and specialty sizes
  • Heat-treated (ISPM-15) options available
  • Bulk pricing for orders of 500+
  • Next-day delivery within Phoenix metro
  • Consistent quality guaranteed on every order
  • Custom-built pallets for non-standard needs
For Sellers

Sell Your Pallets

Got pallets piling up on your loading dock? Turn that clutter into cash. We purchase used pallets in all conditions — from like-new surplus to damaged cores. Our team handles pickup and logistics, so all you have to do is point us to the pile and collect your payment.

Many businesses do not realize that the pallets accumulating in their yard have real monetary value. Even heavily damaged pallets are worth something to us because we can salvage the usable lumber and hardware. Instead of paying a waste hauler to remove your pallets, let us pay you for them. It is a simple switch that turns a cost center into a revenue stream.

  • We buy all grades and conditions
  • Competitive per-pallet pricing
  • Free pickup for qualifying loads
  • Same-week collection available
  • Payment within 7 business days
  • Recurring purchase agreements offered
  • No sorting required on your end
  • Volume bonuses for large and consistent sellers
Quality Standards

Understanding Pallet Grades

Not every application demands a brand-new pallet. Our grading system helps you select the right quality level for your specific needs, so you never overpay.

Grade A

Like New

Best Value Premium

Grade A pallets are in excellent condition with minimal cosmetic wear. All boards are intact, stringers are solid, and the pallet is structurally sound for heavy-duty use. These pallets have typically been used only once or twice and show little to no damage.

Ideal For:

International shipping, food & beverage, retail display, pharmaceutical, automated racking systems.

  • All boards intact — no cracks or splits
  • Clean appearance with minimal staining
  • Full load-bearing capacity
  • Compatible with automated handling systems

Grade B

Good Condition

Mid-Range Savings

Grade B pallets show moderate wear but remain fully functional. They may have minor cosmetic issues such as light staining, small repairs, or slight board discoloration. Structurally, they are sound and capable of handling standard loads without issue.

Ideal For:

Warehouse storage, domestic shipping, manufacturing, general distribution.

  • Structurally sound with minor cosmetic wear
  • May have one or two repaired boards
  • Full load-bearing capacity for standard use
  • Most popular grade for cost-conscious buyers

Grade C

Economy

Maximum Savings

Grade C pallets are the most affordable option. They may show significant wear, multiple repaired boards, or cosmetic imperfections. Despite their appearance, every Grade C pallet in our inventory is structurally inspected and cleared for use in standard applications.

Ideal For:

One-way shipping, internal warehouse use, non-consumer-facing applications, temporary storage.

  • Multiple repaired or replaced boards
  • Visible wear and cosmetic imperfections
  • Structurally inspected and approved
  • Lowest cost per pallet available

6-Step Process to Sell Your Pallets

Selling your surplus pallets is simple. Here is exactly how the process works from first contact to payment in your account.

01

Contact Us with Details

Call or fill out our online form. Provide your approximate pallet count, the predominant sizes, and a general description of condition (mostly good, mixed, mostly damaged). Include your location and any access restrictions at your facility. Photos are helpful but not required.

02

Receive Your Quote

Within 24 hours, we provide a per-pallet price quote based on current market conditions, the size and condition you described, and your location. The quote includes a breakdown by grade if your lot contains mixed conditions. There is no obligation to accept.

03

Accept & Schedule Pickup

If you are happy with the quote, confirm your acceptance and we schedule a pickup date that works with your operations. Most pickups are scheduled within 3-5 business days. Expedited same-week pickup is available in the Phoenix metro area.

04

On-Site Count & Loading

Our driver arrives at the scheduled time with the appropriate vehicle for your load. Our crew counts the pallets during loading to establish the final quantity. You receive a signed pickup receipt documenting the count, date, and agreed per-pallet rate before we leave.

05

Processing & Verification

Your pallets are transported to our Goodyear facility where they are sorted and graded. If the actual condition differs significantly from what was described, we contact you to discuss any price adjustments before finalizing. In the vast majority of cases, the original quote holds.

06

Payment Issued

Payment is issued within 7 business days of pickup via your preferred method — company check or direct deposit (ACH). Recurring sellers can arrange net-15 or net-30 payment terms. High-volume sellers with established accounts may qualify for payment at time of pickup.

Buyback Pricing

What We Pay for Your Pallets

Buyback prices depend on pallet size, condition, and current market demand. Here are typical price ranges for the most common pallet types we purchase.

Like-New Surplus (Grade A)

$3.00 - $6.00 per pallet

Pallets with minimal wear, all boards intact, no repairs needed. These command the highest buyback prices because they can be resold directly.

Good Used (Grade B)

$1.50 - $3.50 per pallet

Pallets showing normal wear but structurally sound. May have minor cosmetic issues but no critical damage. The sweet spot for most sellers.

Repairable (Grade C)

$0.75 - $2.00 per pallet

Pallets with damage that can be economically repaired — broken boards, loose nails, minor stringer cracks. Still valuable because repair costs less than new.

Damaged / Cores

$0.25 - $1.00 per pallet

Heavily damaged pallets that cannot be economically repaired. We still buy these for lumber reclamation and material processing. Even cores have value.

Hardwood Pallets (Any Condition)

$2.00 - $7.00 per pallet

Oak, maple, and other hardwood pallets command premium buyback prices regardless of condition due to the higher value of hardwood lumber.

Heat-Treated / ISPM-15

$3.50 - $6.50 per pallet

Pallets with valid ISPM-15 heat treatment stamps are in high demand for international shipping. Premium prices for pallets with legible stamps.

*Prices are approximate and vary based on current market conditions, quantity, location, and actual pallet condition upon inspection. Standard 48x40 pallet sizes shown. Contact us for pricing on non-standard sizes.

Market Dynamics

Understanding Pallet Market Conditions

Pallet prices are influenced by a complex set of market factors that cause both buying and selling prices to fluctuate throughout the year. Understanding these dynamics helps you time your purchases and sales for maximum advantage.

The single biggest driver of pallet prices is the cost of raw lumber. When lumber prices rise due to supply constraints, wildfire damage, tariffs, or increased construction demand, new pallet prices increase and recycled pallet values follow. When lumber prices fall, the opposite occurs. This correlation means that recycled pallets consistently offer savings relative to new, but the absolute price point moves with the market.

Regional supply and demand also plays a major role. Arizona is a net pallet importer — meaning more pallets flow into the state (carrying inbound goods) than flow out. This creates a consistent supply of used pallets and helps keep recycled pallet prices competitive. However, during peak shipping seasons, demand for quality recycled pallets can temporarily outpace supply, pushing prices upward.

Seasonal Trends

How Pricing Changes Throughout the Year

Q1 (January - March)

Moderate Demand

Post-holiday slowdown in shipping reduces demand for pallets. Prices tend to be at their lowest during this period. This is often the best time to buy in bulk and stockpile inventory for the busy season ahead.

Q2 (April - June)

Rising Demand

Shipping volumes pick up as spring and summer product cycles begin. Demand for quality pallets increases steadily. Prices begin rising, especially for Grade A and heat-treated pallets needed for export.

Q3 (July - September)

Peak Demand

The busiest shipping quarter as businesses build inventory for the holiday season. Pallet demand peaks. Prices are typically at their highest. Pre-ordering and locking in supply agreements is strongly recommended.

Q4 (October - December)

High Then Declining

Early Q4 remains strong as holiday shipping peaks. By late November and December, demand begins tapering off as most holiday goods have shipped. Buyback prices may increase as returns generate surplus pallets.

Payment Terms

Flexible Payment Options

We offer several payment options to accommodate businesses of all sizes. Whether you prefer to pay upfront, on delivery, or on terms, we have a payment structure that works for your cash flow.

Prepayment

Pay in full at the time of order. Orders ship immediately upon payment confirmation. Accepted via check, ACH, wire transfer, or credit card.

Cash on Delivery (COD)

Pay when your pallets are delivered. Our driver collects payment at the time of drop-off. Check or pre-authorized ACH accepted.

Net 15

Pay within 15 days of invoice date. Available to established customers with approved credit applications. No additional fees.

Net 30

Pay within 30 days of invoice date. Available to qualified businesses with strong credit history and consistent order volume.

Net 45 / Net 60

Extended terms available for enterprise accounts with significant monthly volume. Requires executive credit approval and may require a personal guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Buy & Sell Pallets FAQ

What is the minimum order for buying pallets?

There is no strict minimum order. We sell as few as 20 pallets for small projects and as many as 10,000 or more for large operations. However, volume discounts begin at 100 pallets, and free delivery kicks in at 500 pallets. For orders under 50 pallets, will-call pickup from our Goodyear facility is often the most economical option.

Can I mix grades and sizes in a single order?

Absolutely. Many customers order a mix of grades depending on their application — Grade A for customer-facing shipments and Grade C for internal warehouse use, for example. We can accommodate mixed orders of any combination of sizes and grades. Each line item is priced according to its specific grade and size.

How do you determine the buyback price for my pallets?

Buyback prices are based on four primary factors: current lumber market conditions, pallet size and type, physical condition, and quantity. Standard 48x40 GMA pallets in good condition command the best prices. We evaluate each load individually and provide a transparent quote before committing to a pickup.

Do I need to sort my pallets before you pick them up?

No. We accept mixed loads of various sizes, grades, and conditions. Our team handles all sorting at our facility. If your pallets are already sorted, that can sometimes result in a slightly higher buyback price since it reduces our processing time, but sorting is never required on your end.

How fast can I get pallets delivered?

For in-stock items within the Phoenix metro area, we offer next-business-day delivery on orders placed before 2:00 PM. Same-day rush delivery is available subject to fleet availability and may carry a surcharge. For extended service areas, delivery is typically scheduled within 3-5 business days.

Can I set up a recurring purchase agreement?

Yes. Recurring purchase agreements are available for customers with predictable ongoing pallet needs. We lock in a per-pallet price for an agreed period (typically quarterly), guarantee supply availability, and schedule automatic deliveries according to your preferred cadence. This eliminates the need to place individual orders.

What happens if I receive pallets that do not meet the grade I ordered?

Quality is guaranteed on every order. If you receive pallets that do not match the grade specification you ordered, contact us within 48 hours and we will replace them at no cost. Our quality control process catches the vast majority of issues before delivery, but we stand behind our product if anything slips through.

Do you offer heat-treated or ISPM-15 certified pallets?

Yes. We maintain a dedicated inventory of heat-treated pallets that comply with ISPM-15 international shipping standards. These pallets carry verified HT stamps and are suitable for export shipments. Heat-treated pallets carry a $1-$2 per pallet surcharge over standard pricing for the corresponding grade.
