Get a Price →Whether you're operating a single Corpus Christi warehouse or a multi-site network across Texas, the Mining & Metals pallet supply requirements are the same: consistent grade, on-time delivery, accurate count, and clean paperwork. United States Pallets built our Mining & Metals pallet supply program around exactly that profile of customer.
Pricing transparency: United States Pallets publishes Mining & Metals pallet supply pricing structures (not specific dollar amounts since lumber markets move). Volume tiers kick in automatically as cumulative monthly volume crosses thresholds. New Corpus Christi accounts ship prepaid for 1-3 loads while credit is being established, then move to net-30 standard.
50 pallets per order minimum on buy-side. Sell-side (buyback) minimum is 250 pallets per single-size load. Volume tiers kick in automatically as cumulative monthly volume increases - 500+/week accounts qualify for standing-order programs with reserved delivery slots.

FSMA Section 204 traceability supported on every food-grade load; pallet ID linked to the lumber lot, kiln batch, and dispatch ticket in our chain-of-custody database.
Port of Houston Authority requires ISPM-15 stamp verification at Bayport Terminal and Barbours Cut; we coordinate with longshore inspectors for full-load certification, eliminating dock-delay risk.
Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) pest-quarantine rules require ISPM-15 documentation on pallets shipped from quarantined zones (cotton boll weevil, fire ant); our Texas yards maintain TDA registration for compliant export.

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.
Drop-trailer programs maintain a customer-dedicated 53-foot trailer on-site; we swap full-for-empty on a scheduled 24/48/72-hour rotation; preferred for high-throughput dock operations.
Construction supply yards (Home Depot, Lowe's distribution) move lumber and hardware on 48x40 GMA in 5,000+ pallet weekly cycles; we supply both the inbound load pallets and the return-stream recycled stock.
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.
