How do I send a pallet?

Pallets are used for heavy items, large items, or a collection of goods that are being shipped together. Wooden pallets support the items you are sending, securing them in an appropriate vehicle to get them to their destination in one piece. You shouldn't shirk the responsibility of sending larger items properly, but don't worry - with P4D, pallet delivery doesn't have to be expensive!

If you're new to pallet delivery and don't have access to a pallet supplier you can also order a pallet with your order.

Pallets within the UK

P4D offers three diferent pallet delivery services, depending on what size pallet you need. The services documented below are offered throughout the UK. Select the right sized pallet for the weight of your goods. If you have a particularly long item, you can secure it across two pallets so that the entire length of the item is secured and delivered safely.

All pallets are 1m wide by 1.2m deep, then:

Full:     2m high          max weight    1000kg
1/2:     1.1m high        max weight    500kg
1/4:     0.8m high        max weight    250kg

Multiple items

If you're sending a pallet of goods, it's important not to think of them as one item because they are all on one pallet. Think of them as many items and give them each the same attention you would if you were sending each parcel separately. You must make sure all the goods on your pallet are individually well packaged to protect them during transit. The pallet itself can be wrapped to then secure your goods on to the pallet if you request it. What is pallet wrapping?
