New Orleans Douglas Fir Lumber Programs

Can New Orleans customers run a buyback program alongside their pallet purchases?

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.

What credit terms does United States Pallets offer New Orleans customers?

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.

Does United States Pallets ship Douglas Fir Lumber to all of Louisiana?

Yes. We deliver to every commercial address in Louisiana, with same-day shipping standard in our Southeast/Mid-Atlantic core and scheduled weekly delivery elsewhere. New Orleans-area accounts are typical - submit a quote with your dock location and we route accordingly.

How does United States Pallets compare to Louisiana-based local pallet suppliers?

Local Louisiana 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.

Does United States Pallets buy back used pallets in New Orleans?

Yes. We buy back used pallets from New Orleans 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.
