Your Guide to Buying Used Pallets in New Haven, Connecticut

What you'll learn: How to find good used pallets in New Haven, what they cost, and how to get them delivered to your business.

Why Buy Used Pallets?

Used pallets cost 50-70% less than new ones. A new pallet costs $15-25, but a good used one costs $6-10. If you need 100 pallets, that's $900 in savings.

What You'll Pay in New Haven

Individual pallets: $6.00 to $10.25 each Bulk orders (616 pallets): $4.50 to $12.00 each Current market average: $1.25 per pallet (but this varies widely)

Your final price depends on:

• How many you buy (more = cheaper per pallet)
• What condition you need
• How far delivery travels
• Current supply and demand

Three Types of Used Pallets

Grade A (#1 Pallets) - $6-10 each

• Look almost new
• No broken boards or repairs
• Clean enough for customer-facing areas
• Good for retail displays or clean warehouses

Grade B (#2 Pallets) - $4-6 each

• Some repairs but still strong
• May have metal plates or cleats
• Perfect for most warehouse work
• Best value for most businesses

Grade C - ~$4 each

• More wear but still functional
• Good for one-time shipping
• Cheapest option

Standard Pallet Sizes

Most common: 48" x 40" (fits most trucks and warehouses) Other sizes available:

• 42" x 42"
• 48" x 48"
• 36" x 36"
• 40" x 48"

Entry types:

• 2-way: Forklift enters from two sides only
• 4-way: Forklift enters from all four sides (more flexible, costs more)

Delivery Options

Most suppliers deliver throughout New Haven. Options include:

• Standard delivery: Pallets delivered on a truck
• Drop trailer service: Supplier leaves a trailer at your location (good for large orders)
• Local pickup: You pick up pallets yourself (cheapest option)

Delivery usually costs $50-150 depending on distance and quantity.

How to Get the Best Deal

1. Buy in bulk: 300+ pallets get better prices
2. Be flexible on timing: Suppliers offer discounts for non-urgent orders
3. Consider Grade B: Often just as strong as Grade A but cheaper
4. Ask about pickup: Save delivery costs if you can collect them
5. Build relationships: Regular customers get better prices

Red Flags to Avoid

• Prices much lower than others (pallets might be damaged)
• No option to inspect before buying
• No clear grading system
• Hidden delivery fees
• No local references

Getting Started

1. Count how many pallets you need
2. Decide what grade works for your business
3. Call 3-4 suppliers for quotes
4. Ask about delivery options
5. Start with a small order to test quality

Most New Haven businesses find Grade B pallets offer the best value. They're strong enough for warehouse work but cost 20-30% less than Grade A.

Next step: Contact suppliers during business hours (Monday-Friday, 8 AM-5 PM) when staff can give you accurate pricing and availability.
