Testimonials
What Our Clients Say
We let our work speak for itself, but our clients have plenty to say too. Here is what businesses across the country think about working with Universal Pallet Supply.
We switched to Universal Pallet Supply two years ago and have not looked back. Their Grade A recycled pallets are indistinguishable from new ones, and we are saving over 40% on our pallet spend. The delivery schedule is like clockwork — every Tuesday morning, right on time.
Mark D., Warehouse Operations Manager
Regional Distribution Center, Richmond VA
As a logistics director, I need suppliers I can count on without babysitting. Universal Pallet Supply has never missed a delivery or shorted an order in the eighteen months we have worked together. Their buyback program also turns our outbound pallet waste into a revenue stream, which my CFO loves.
Sarah T., Director of Logistics
National Food & Beverage Distributor
We generate about 800 used pallets a month and used to pay a waste hauler to take them. Now Universal picks them up for free and actually pays us for the Grade A and B pallets. It turned a $2,400 monthly expense into $1,800 of monthly income. The math was a no-brainer.
James R., Plant Manager
Mid-Atlantic Manufacturing Facility
Sustainability is a core value for our company, and Universal Pallet Supply helps us walk the talk. They provide detailed reports on how many pallets we have recycled and the corresponding CO2 savings, which goes straight into our annual sustainability report. Great product, great people.

E-Commerce Fulfillment Company, Norfolk VA
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
New to buying recycled pallets? Here are the answers to the questions we hear most often from first-time customers.
What is the minimum pallet order for delivery?
For delivery we typically ask for at least one stack of 15–20 pallets. Full truckload orders of 400+ pallets unlock the best per-unit pricing and free delivery in most regions.
How fast can you deliver pallets nationwide?
Most orders ship within 24–48 hours. Transit ranges from same-day in the Mid-Atlantic to two to seven days for other regions depending on distance and load size.
Which pallet grades and sizes are available?
We stock Grade A, B, and C used pallets plus recycled, new, and custom builds. Standard 48x40 GMA is always available along with common sizes like 42x42, 48x48, and custom dimensions.
Do you offer ISPM-15 heat-treated pallets?
Yes. We provide ISPM-15 certified heat-treated pallets stamped for export. Heat treatment eliminates pests to meet international phytosanitary requirements.
Can you buy back our used pallets?
Yes. Our buyback program pays for surplus pallets and handles pickup. Volumes of 50+ pallets usually qualify for free transportation.
