Communication discipline: most pallet vendors run phone-only ordering with opaque ETAs. United States Pallets operates a digital pipeline - web quotes, electronic order confirmations, real-time load tracking after dispatch, and a single dispatch coordinator assigned to each Cicero account for the first three loads to smooth the sales-to-ops handoff.
Damage handling without friction: damaged units flagged at receipt are credited on the next invoice or replaced on the next outbound load to Cicero. 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.
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.
