Pallet line or other companies

[Vikki]

Hi there.

 

I'm looking into selling logs further afield so was checking out prices of transport. So far the cheapest I've seen is sound £55 for a pallet with isn't justifiable. Does anybody know of cheaper companies if they exist.

Thanks x

there is cheaper deals out there ring your local courier they should offer you discount if you send volume of pallets out .

I have used several pallet couriers throughout the years, and Pallet-Line have always provided the best service.

Cheaper couriers provided no end of hassle, and therefore at the end of the day, not any cheaper.

If I sent a pallet to you with pallet ways it would be about £40. But I could send 26 pallets for £250 on their Arctic once you get over 3 pallets it gets cheaper.

Is that from any mainland postcodes in the uk to any other post code in uk mainland if can see what i mean .

Pallets prices will vary depending where you send them to.

Local to us about £40 a pallet, but Highlands is about £100 pallet.

We use palletways network and generally it goes smoothly.

last quote I had for a pallet into the highlands was £180. just sent one to Guernsey was £236.

I had a machine delivered on a pallet to me a month or so back, cost was £35 (+vat of course!), and I doubt the seller was taking a hit on that!

We use our local Palletways agent for the majority of items because the price is great. We use an alternative local company who are agents for Palletline when we send higher value stuff that needs handling a little more carefully.

 

Palletways are fast, reliable and very helpful. They will work you out a very good volume price if you can shift enough pallets. Plus they do a very good half pallet and Euro pallet rate.

Palletline are probably not going to be competative for timber deliveries unless your local agent wants to get on board with a low price hoping for your sales to take off in future. They photograph every pallet as it enters and leaves a depot, plus provide more flexible insurance options for high value goods. But that all puts the price up.

Do not opt for next day delivery ( esp AM ) if you want a cheap deal ... 48hr delivery is a bit cheaper , I have done a lot of work for the FORTEC pallet network , all companies are very competitive !!
