Can Florida 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.

Does United States Pallets ship Hardwood Lumber to all of Florida?

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

Does United States Pallets buy back used pallets in Florida?

Yes. We buy back used pallets from Florida 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.

What's the minimum order quantity for Hardwood Lumber?

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.

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

Local Florida 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.
