What a buyer asks first
- What are they? EPAL 1, EPAL 2 or 3, half pallets, box pallets, generic 1200 × 800, or mixed.
- How many? A count per type, even a rough one.
- What condition? The EPAL classes give you the words: class A is used and mainly light, class B mainly dark, class C heavily used, and not fit for use has disqualifying damage.
- Where? ZIP or postal code, and whether a truck can back to a dock.
- How often? One-off or recurring.
Present the lot honestly
Photograph a few pallets from different parts of the stack, including a close-up of a centre block showing the IPPC mark, the licence number and the control staple. Mention labels or tape: EPAL's classification puts pallets with adhesions in class C until they are removed.
Mistakes to avoid
- Repairing EPAL pallets yourself. EPAL says only licensed repair operations may repair EPAL pallets and that unlicensed repair is prosecuted. A homemade repair also pushes the pallet into not fit for use.
- Selling pooled pallets. If another operator's name is on it, it is probably theirs.
- Calling generic pallets EPAL. A buyer will check the blocks.
How this site helps
Our sell form sends your request to a North American used-packaging marketplace partner. We do not buy pallets ourselves and we do not publish prices, because we have no real price data to show yet.
