When you need a pallet delivery
Pallet delivery is the cheapest way to send heavy or bulky goods that are too much for a parcel courier but too little for a whole lorry. Businesses use it for stock, machinery and materials. Households use it for garden furniture, building materials, boxed furniture and moving part of a home a long way.

| Full pallet (UK standard) | 1.2m x 1.0m | Up to about 1,000kg |

Services to ask about
- Tail-lift delivery. Needed when there is no forklift at the address, including most homes.
- Timed or next-day delivery. Usually costs more than an economy service.
- Collection and wrapping. Some companies supply pallets and shrink-wrap the load for you.
- Dedicated van or lorry. For urgent or high-value loads that should not go through a hub.

Packing a pallet properly
- Put the heaviest items at the bottom and keep the load inside the pallet edges.
- Strap or shrink-wrap everything together.
- Label it clearly with both addresses and a phone number.
- Tell the carrier about anything fragile or hazardous. Dangerous goods need special handling.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a pallet delivery cost?
It depends on pallet size, weight, distance and speed. A quarter pallet costs much less than a full one, and economy services are cheaper than next-day. Compare quotes for your load.
Can a pallet be delivered to my home?
Yes, with a tail-lift vehicle. The driver lowers it to the kerb or driveway. Moving it inside is usually up to you unless you book a two-person service.
Can I send a pallet to Europe?
Yes. Many carriers deliver to the EU, with customs paperwork for each shipment.
