Freight Shipping

If your shipment is already packaged and/or secured to a pallet or crate, please contact us for a rate quote no matter what you are shipping or where it needs to be shipped to. Whether its 100 lbs or 10,000 lbs, our bottom-line shipping rates will enable us to reduce your shipping cost versus paying a freight company directly. If your shipment is not already palletized or crated, please contact us and we will help you locate a facility in your area who can assist with this process.

RESIDENTIAL/PERSONAL GOODS TRANSPORTATION WITHIN THE U.S., CANADA, MEXICO AND PUERTO RICO

If your goods are crated or on a pallet we can arrange to transport them via motor freight for a very cost effective rate. Or, if the items are loose and you have no way of crating or palletizing them on your own, we can refer you to a company who handles small moves for our customers on a discounted basis. They can arrange to have a small container dropped at your home, you load it, call them when it is ready, then they pick it up and transport it to the destination location where the receiver would be responsible for unloading. For more information about this service, please visit www.upack.com or call 877-450-3611. Be sure to mention Ship A Pallet as the company who referred you in order to take advantage of discounted rates and added incentives such as free extra storage time.
