What Bloomington operators get with United States Pallets that they don't get with most Illinois pallet suppliers: multi-grade inventory always available simultaneously (so a single load can mix new GMA, recycled Grade A, and recycled Grade B), tiered pricing automation (no haggling per load), and standing-order programs that reserve weekly delivery slots.
Damage handling without friction: damaged units flagged at receipt are credited on the next invoice or replaced on the next outbound load to Bloomington. 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.
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.

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.
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.
