Custom export crates for Des Moines operations with same-day quote response.
Get a Price →Whether you're operating a single Des Moines warehouse or a multi-site network across Iowa, the Export Crates requirements are the same: consistent grade, on-time delivery, accurate count, and clean paperwork. United States Pallets built our Export Crates program around exactly that profile of customer.
Export Crates suppliers serving Des Moines businesses range from regional yards with limited inventory to national networks with deep multi-grade stock. United States Pallets sits in the second category, structured specifically for high-volume B2B operations - 50+ pallets per order minimum, scheduled programs for 500+/week accounts, and dimensional consistency tight enough for AGV-equipped warehouses.
ISPM-15 heat-treated export crates with IPPC stamping.
Net-30 credit terms standard after the first 1-3 prepaid or COD loads while credit is being established. Submit a credit application with three trade references; approval typically processes within 48 hours. Volume accounts can negotiate net-45 or net-60.
Yes. We buy back used pallets from Des Moines collectors, recyclers, and warehouses - 250-pallet minimum per load, single-size only (no mixed-size loads). Fast ACH payment, typically same-day or net-7 depending on volume. Pickup arranged on standard outbound delivery routes.
Local Iowa suppliers offer geographic proximity. United States Pallets offers nationwide sourcing depth, multi-grade inventory always in stock, sub-2-business-hour quote response, audit-ready documentation, and standing-order automation that local yards typically don't match.
Yes. Backhaul logistics are coordinated on outbound delivery routes - empty or non-spec pallets get picked up on the return leg of new pallet deliveries. Per-pallet freight cost on the backhaul approaches zero for accounts running both new-pallet purchase + buyback simultaneously.
Yes. We deliver to every commercial address in Iowa, with same-day shipping standard in our Southeast/Mid-Atlantic core and scheduled weekly delivery elsewhere. Des Moines-area accounts are typical - submit a quote with your dock location and we route accordingly.
