About New Orleans Pallets
A free referral service that connects pallet buyers and sellers in the New Orleans area with partner suppliers.
What This Service Is
New Orleans Pallets is a free referral service. We match buyers and sellers of pallets in the New Orleans area with partner suppliers. We do not own, stock or transport pallets ourselves. You describe what you need once, and we connect your request with a local supplier in our network.
- Buy A, B or C Grade pallets through partner suppliers
- Sell used pallets to partner suppliers that may buy them
- Ask about repair, recycling and pickup
- Ask about delivery to the New Orleans area
- Request custom sizes, which partner suppliers may be able to build
- Ask for ISPM 15 heat-treated pallets for export shipments
Availability, pricing, terms and delivery are set by the partner supplier you are matched with, not by this site.
How Quotes Work
Requesting a quote is free and carries no obligation. The process is simple:
- Fill out the quote request form and describe your need
- Include grade, size, quantity and whether you want pickup or delivery
- Mention timing, such as a date you need pallets by
- Add any special requirements, such as heat treatment or a custom size
- We connect your request with partner suppliers in the New Orleans area
- A partner supplier follows up with you directly
- The supplier sets the price, terms and delivery details
- You decide whether to accept any offer
Pricing is by quote from partner suppliers. The more specific your request, the more useful the quote.
What the Grades Mean
Pallet grades describe condition. Standards vary between suppliers, so treat these as general descriptions:
- A Grade: generally like-new or lightly used, with minimal wear
- B Grade: shows some signs of use but is generally structurally sound
- C Grade: visible wear, generally suited to one-way shipping or lighter-duty use
- The standard GMA size is 48x40 inches
- Block pallets usually allow 4-way entry; stringer pallets are usually 2-way entry
- Capacity depends on design, condition and how the load is supported
If you are not sure which grade you need, describe the load and how the pallet will be used, and a partner supplier can suggest one.
Selling and Recycling
If you have used pallets, you can describe them in a quote request:
- Partner suppliers may buy used pallets in suitable condition
- Offers come from the supplier, not from this site
- Some partner suppliers may be able to repair pallets
- Repaired pallets stay in use longer
- Reusing a pallet avoids building a new one
- Wood that cannot be reused can often be ground into mulch or other materials
Include the type, condition and quantity of your pallets, and photos if you have them.
Export and Custom Requests
Some needs are more specific. You can mention them in the same form:
- Ask for ISPM 15 heat-treated pallets; a partner supplier can confirm availability
- Heat treatment means 56 degrees Celsius at the core for at least 30 minutes
- Compliant pallets carry an HT stamp
- Check current regulations for your destination country
- Partner suppliers may be able to build to your dimensions
- Describe the size, load and quantity in your request
We do not certify or inspect pallets. Treatment and marking are done by the supplier.
Where We Take Requests From
We take requests from the New Orleans area, including:
- New Orleans
- Metairie and Kenner
- Gretna, Harvey and Marrero
- Chalmette
- Slidell
- Other nearby communities, depending on supplier availability
The area has port, manufacturing and distribution activity, so pallet needs are varied. Availability depends on partner suppliers.
What We Do Not Do
To be clear about the role of this site:
- We do not own or store pallets
- We do not deliver or pick up pallets
- We do not set prices or payment terms
- We do not inspect or grade pallets ourselves
- We do not guarantee availability or timing
- Partner suppliers are responsible for their own products and services
Ask the partner supplier any questions about their pallets, terms and timing before you agree to anything.
Getting the Most From Your Request
A clear request gets a clearer quote. Consider including:
- The type of goods the pallets will carry and approximate weight
- Preferred grade or condition
- Size, such as 48x40, or custom dimensions
- Quantity, even if it is small
- Your location and whether you want pickup or delivery
- The date you need the pallets by
You only need to describe it once. A partner supplier follows up, and there is no obligation.
