Why buyers pick USP over Relogistics

Supply without on-site management contract

Relogistics' business is embedded on-site pallet control. USP is pure supply + buy-back - you keep control of your own DC operations.

Independent, not PE-portfolio

Kinderhook Industries owns Relogistics. USP is operator-owned (WETYR Corporation) - direct exec access, no LP-timeline politics on exceptions.

Broader vertical mix

Relogistics' embedded-service model concentrates in mass-merch and grocery DCs. USP serves 40+ verticals equally well.

Faster quote

USP under-2-hour quote vs Relogistics' typical on-site-audit + proposal cycle (2-4 weeks).

Broker network

USP dual-partner (broker) network. Relogistics does not sell through brokers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is USP better than Relogistics for national pallet supply?

USP wins when you value operator-owned decision speed, mixed product mix (new + recycled + custom + plastic on one PO), and quote turn under 2 hours. Relogistics wins for buyers already invested in Relogistics's specific model. The right answer depends on your vertical, geography, and whether you want to own or rent pallets.

Can USP match Relogistics's pricing?

USP quotes competitively against Relogistics on comparable products. For pooled programs, direct comparison doesn't apply since USP sells rather than rents. For outright-purchase comparisons, USP's national vendor pool typically comes in within 3-8% of the largest competitors, and often beats them on lead time and multi-location roll-up.

How fast can USP switch me over from Relogistics?

Typical timeline is 7-14 days. First quote arrives under 2 hours. Onboarding covers spec confirmation, delivery scheduling, and (if applicable) buy-back of your excess Relogistics inventory. See /switch-to-usp/from-relogistics/ for the migration playbook.

USP covers all 50 states, DC, and Puerto Rico. Same-day/next-day in the Southeast + Mid-Atlantic corridor (FL, GA, AL, SC, NC, VA, TN, TX). 1-3 day delivery nationwide. USP also supports ISPM-15 heat-treated export to 180+ IPPC/WTO member countries.

Does USP buy back pallets like Relogistics?
