Ask for both options in your request and compare the quotes.

Much pallet damage is minor and can be repaired. Instead of discarding pallets with simple fixes, let a repair shop in our network put them back into working condition.

Repair FAQs
What pallet repairs are available?
Partner suppliers commonly replace broken boards, reinforce stringers, reset fasteners, and square up decks.
Do repaired pallets meet load requirements?
Repaired pallets are graded by the supplier. Tell us your load requirements so they can be confirmed in your quote.
How quickly can pallets be repaired?
Turnaround depends on volume and the supplier's schedule. Note any deadline in your request.
Can heat-treated pallets be repaired?
Yes, but repairs on ISPM-15 pallets must use treated lumber and keep proper marking. Mention it so the supplier can plan for it.
Are pallets sorted before repair?
Pallets are typically graded first so only repairable units are rebuilt; badly damaged pieces go to recycling.
Can specialty sizes be repaired?
Often, yes. Share dimensions so the supplier can confirm they have the right components.
Are on-site repairs available?
Most repairs are done at the supplier's location, but some may offer on-site programs for large volumes.
How are repaired pallets tracked?
Some suppliers provide counts by grade showing what was repaired, recycled, or replaced. Ask if you need this.
Will repaired pallets look uniform?
Repaired pallets will show some mixed lumber. Ask your supplier what to expect if appearance matters.
Can repair be combined with a new order?
Some suppliers can collect damaged pallets when they deliver an order. Ask about it in your request.
