FAQ - Kalamazoo GMA Standard Pallets
What's the minimum order quantity for GMA Standard 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 Kalamazoo customers run a buyback program alongside their pallet purchases?
