Pallet delivery

[Arwyn]

What's the cheapest pallet delivery company out there to send pallets of logs/kindling out.thanks

[Alycidon]

I find Geodis pretty good for sending stoves,  hand deliver all my wood though.   Prices will depend on the number of pallets per day.

Most online quotes I've tried are about £70 seems dear and that was only taking it 20 miles

[Alycidon]

It is,  £40 I would suggest is about right depending on the weight.

 

But is costs £1.50 a mile to run a delivery van or 4x4, plus the trailer,  so there and back = £60 plus your time, so £70 actually probably cheaper than you can do it.

I drive a lorry part time and the main pallet network we deliver for is FORTEC  and believe it or not I sometimes deliver dumpy bags of logs that originated in the Lake District to S Devon , also deliver kindling and net sacks of logs to Mole valley farmers regularly ....so try a pallet network there are plenty of them  !!   Keep the pallets under 1 ton and the goods not overhang  / exceed the dimensions of the standard pallet .

Thanks for reply's just I've seen a few sellers advertising to send  pallets out for a lot less are they adding some of the delivery price on to the product to make delivery look cheaper maybe

I've seen Paisley freight recommended. Never actually used them myself though.
