Shipping & Delivery Policy
At Pallet Sales Hub, we specialize in the professional logistics of bulk inventory. Because we handle high-volume pallets and truckloads, our shipping protocols are designed to ensure your goods arrive safely and efficiently.
1. Logistics and Freight
Carrier Selection: We partner with specialized courier services and freight networks to manage the transportation of “Y-Containers” and bulk pallets.
Regional Expertise: We have extensive experience managing local transportation routes and regional logistics requirements to ensure smooth delivery.
Landed Cost: Buyers are responsible for all freight charges, which are calculated based on weight, distance, and the specific logistics required for the order.
2. Delivery Options
Commercial Delivery: Standard rates apply to locations with a loading dock or forklift.
Residential Delivery: If your delivery address is residential, additional fees from the carrier may apply.
Liftgate Services: If you do not have a loading dock, a liftgate-equipped truck must be requested at checkout to safely lower the pallets to the ground.
3. Shipping Grades and Preparation
Staging: Once payment is confirmed, orders are staged and prepared for transit. This includes securing the inventory to pallets and ensuring proper documentation is prepared.
Container Grading: For large-scale orders, we utilize shipping container grading to ensure the transport vessel meets the needs of the inventory being moved.
4. Buyer Responsibilities
Site Readiness: It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure the delivery site can accommodate a large freight truck and has the necessary equipment (such as a pallet jack) to move the goods.
Inspection at Delivery: We strongly recommend inspecting the shrink wrap and pallet condition before signing the Bill of Lading (BOL). Any visible damage should be noted on the BOL while the driver is present.
Unloading Time: Carriers typically allow a specific window for unloading; any delays caused by the site may result in additional detention fees from the shipping company.
5. Tracking and Communication
Status Updates: You will receive tracking information once your order has been picked up by the carrier.
Documentation: We provide all necessary shipping documentation and manifests to ensure total operational transparency throughout the transit process.
