4. Orders and Delivery

4.1 Order Acceptance

All orders are subject to acceptance and availability. We reserve the right to refuse any order at our discretion.

4.2 Delivery

Delivery times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. We are not liable for delays in delivery regardless of cause. Title and risk of loss pass to the buyer upon delivery.

Buyers should inspect all pallets upon delivery. Any discrepancies or damage must be noted on the delivery receipt and reported to us within 24 hours.

5. Product Quality

5.1 Grading Standards

Used pallets are graded according to industry standards (Grade A, B, C). Grade descriptions are general guidelines and individual pallets may vary within grade specifications.

5.2 Used Pallets

All pallets sold are previously used unless specifically designated as new. Used pallets are sold "as-is" and may show signs of wear including cosmetic damage that does not affect functionality.

Due to the nature of used pallets, all sales are final. Returns are accepted only for pallets that do not meet the agreed-upon grade specifications, and must be requested within 24 hours of delivery.

When we purchase used pallets from customers, pricing is based on condition, quantity, and current market rates. Payment is made upon pickup. We reserve the right to refuse pallets that do not meet our quality standards or safety requirements.

Recycling services are provided for qualifying pallets. We reserve the right to refuse materials that are contaminated, hazardous, or unsuitable for recycling. Proper disposal documentation is provided upon request.
