Why Columbia Operations Choose USP
Pricing transparency: United States Pallets publishes GMA Standard Pallets pricing structures (not specific dollar amounts since lumber markets move).

FAQ - Columbia GMA Standard Pallets
Can United States Pallets handle GMA Standard Pallets for high-volume Columbia operations?
Yes. Standing-order programs for Columbia 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.
Can Columbia 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.
