Hi ALL

Need to send a pallet to a uk address, staines to be specific. Business post want £150 which to be frank seems like a big rip off!.

Anyone recommend a company for a one off delivery? best quote i have got is from a company called ETS of £60+VAT

Thanks in advance

I reckon 60 quid plus VAt is about as good as you will get. I used to send a lot of pallets and was paying £42+VAT but that was on an account and we were pumping a fair few through each day.

We only move small parcels like business post, and I recommend my clients to use Europa - tel 0208 311 5000 who have low pallet rates I think about £60.00.

I hope this helps,

we use either Pallex or Pallitz but like above, send about 50 a week. The cheapest we pay is about £30 for upto a tonne, the most is about £90 which is North Scotland.

For a one-off, £60 is about right.
