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.

Operational details for North Carolina

Compliance specification

GMA 48x40 four-way stringer construction conforms to the National Wooden Pallet & Container Association (NWPCA) 2014 Uniform Standard; deck board configuration 7-board top, 5-board bottom.

North Carolina regulatory context

Port of Wilmington and Port of Morehead City require ISPM-15 stamp verification at container terminals; we coordinate with NC Ports stevedores for certified export loads, with 14-foot harbor draft supporting Panamax vessels.

North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDA&CS) phytosanitary rules require ISPM-15 documentation on every export load from Wilmington and Morehead City ports; we coordinate with NC State Ports Authority inspectors.

Pallet specification detail

Recycled-Grade A pallets meet 48x40 GMA spec with cosmetic wear only; no broken boards, no replaced stringers, all original GMA stamp visible; suitable for primary food-grade and pharmaceutical loads.

Block pallets (four-way entry) use nine 4-inch hardwood blocks with continuous-face top deck; ideal for ASRS (automated storage and retrieval) and AGV (automated guided vehicle) operations where stringer interruptions cause read-failures.

Delivery and logistics

Live-load operations bring the trailer to your dock for a 90-minute window; loader/unloader provided; suited to customers without dedicated dock space or with intermittent volume.

Customer use case

Citrus packhouses operate seasonal volume peaks November-April; we maintain dedicated Polk County and Indian River inventory to support 6-12 truckload weekly delivery during peak; standing-order pricing locks rates Oct 1.

Pricing context

Lumber index pricing: we benchmark against the Random Lengths southern yellow pine #2 index for hardwood-blend spec; updates monthly; standing-order pricing protects against +/-15% market swings.

Sustainability

Carbon footprint per delivered pallet (cradle-to-gate, including 75-mile delivery): new GMA ~21 kg CO2e; recycled Grade A ~7 kg CO2e; custom builds vary by spec.
