Pricing transparency: United States Pallets publishes Cold Chain Pallets pricing structures (not specific dollar amounts since lumber markets move).

FAQ - Tuscaloosa Cold Chain Pallets
Can United States Pallets handle Cold Chain Pallets for high-volume Tuscaloosa operations?
Yes. Standing-order programs for Tuscaloosa 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.
Does United States Pallets supply Cold Chain Pallets for export from Tuscaloosa?
Yes, with ISPM-15 heat-treated pallets carrying IPPC stamps and full ISPM-15 documentation. Generally required for any solid wood pallet crossing an international border. Common for Tuscaloosa customers with port access via Alabama's major export gateways. Heat treatment brings the wood core to at least 56C (132.8F) for 30 continuous minutes, and the IPPC mark must appear on two opposite sides of each pallet.
What credit terms does United States Pallets offer Tuscaloosa 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.
Does United States Pallets buy back used pallets in Tuscaloosa?
