Couriers for Pallets

[AJR68]

Hello and Good Morning

 

Has anyone got any opinions on the best (and cheapest) couriers around to do us some pallet deliveries within the UK, we have just sold a rake of netted logs and need to get them shifted. Palletline seem ok at £46 per pallet but is there a better option in any ones opinion??

 

Awaiting a flood of replies and good suggestions.....

I've been using lambert brothers and found them pretty good Southampton's road distribution, logistics, transportation and warehousing specialists - Lambert Brothers Haulage and I've had some double pallets of timber from Scotland using palletline (I think this is what big J used). Got to me fine.

£46 isn't a bad price I don't think mate - seems to be about the going rate with the big pallet networks

My thoughts too, county did you get my PM?

Try Palletways, we get rates significantly cheaper than you've been quoted. I am a good negotiator though! They also don't charge extras that lots of other companies do for tail lift drops etc..

I have used Geodis for delivering stoves when they need to go a fair distance, about £45 a pallet + VAT is the rate. 10 years ago it was £65!!.

I've used Speedshift a few times. They were very competitive and did a good job.
