Why Shawnee Operations Choose USP
Communication discipline: most pallet vendors run phone-only ordering with opaque ETAs.

Document damage with photos at receipt and the credit/replacement happens automatically - no multi-week dispute resolution, no requiring buyers to file damage claim forms, no penalty for flagging issues.
FAQ - Shawnee Block Pallets
What credit terms does United States Pallets offer Shawnee 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. ACH transfer is the preferred way to pay invoices, wire transfer is accepted for large orders, and pallet buy-back proceeds can be paid by ACH or applied as credit against new pallet purchases.
What documentation accompanies Block Pallets loads?
BOL, packing list, grade certifications standard. Heat-treated loads add IPPC stamps and ISPM-15 documentation. Pharma-grade loads add batch records. Food-grade loads add FSMA Sanitary Transportation Rule certifications. All documentation ships electronically before delivery. Heat-treated pallets carry the IPPC mark applied under a USDA APHIS registered heat-treatment program, and new 48x40 GMA stock is built to the NWPCA Uniform Standard, so receiving teams can match each load to its paperwork.
Can Shawnee 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's the minimum order quantity for Block Pallets?
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. Single-pallet orders are not available, so buyers who need fewer pallets usually start with recycled Grade B stock, the lowest-priced published tier. Quotes are requested through the intake form.
Can United States Pallets handle Block Pallets for high-volume Shawnee operations?
Yes. Standing-order programs for Shawnee operations running 500+ pallets/week lock in tiered pricing, reserve delivery slots, and run on autopilot in the background. Custom contract terms available for accounts running 2,000+/week. Standing-program pricing sits below catalog pricing because the rate is locked for a set period against the softwood lumber market, and new volume accounts typically ship 1 to 3 prepaid loads before net-30 terms begin.
