Why Charleston Operations Choose USP
Pricing transparency: United States Pallets publishes FDA Food Grade Pallets pricing structures (not specific dollar amounts since lumber markets move).

Damage handling without friction: damaged units flagged at receipt are credited on the next invoice or replaced on the next outbound load to Charleston.

FAQ - Charleston FDA Food Grade Pallets
What credit terms does United States Pallets offer Charleston 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 FDA Food Grade 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 Charleston 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 FDA Food Grade Pallets to all of South Carolina?
Yes. We deliver to every commercial address in South Carolina, with same-day shipping standard in our Southeast/Mid-Atlantic core and scheduled weekly delivery elsewhere. Charleston-area accounts are typical - submit a quote with your dock location and we route accordingly. Loads move by dry van, flatbed, live load, or drop trailer depending on the dock, and every load ships with a bill of lading, packing list, and grade certification.
How does United States Pallets compare to South Carolina-based local pallet suppliers?

United States Pallets offers nationwide sourcing depth, multi-grade inventory, sub-2-business-hour quote response, audit-ready documentation, and standing-order automation that local yards typically don't match. Orders start at 50 pallets, standing weekly programs begin at 500 pallets per week, and every load ships with a bill of lading, packing list, and grade certification, plus IPPC stamps on heat-treated stock.
