Sending a pallet
Hello everyone
I want to send a pallet to Amazon for FBA. I watched this video on youtube on what I need.
All I have right now is a printer, a computer and my product. Where do I get a 40" x 48", 4-way axis pallet from? and what about the nice, perfect fit boxes for it?
Also, if you have already done this yourself, how much does shipping such a pallet cost? I think my pallet fully loaded will weight around 300Kg and I am in West Yorkshire.
I understand that I have to have a sticker on each box, and that isn’t a problem for me.
Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated.

You should be able to pick up standard UK pallets locally they are usually free some will charge £5-£10 for a pallet, these are 1.2Metre x 1.2Metre , typical maximum height 1.4M and not exceeeding 500Kg, we regularly ship pallet deliveries into Amazon, for us a central and mainland UK Pallet delivery is £42 this will go up to £58 for FBA centres such as Dunfermline.
The pallet should be shrink wrapped we use black pastic wrap to secure the pallet with the pallet clearly labelled on all four sides. Make your your delivery agent does not stack pallets.
If the pallet is loose, badly packed Amazon will reject it, incurring a return delivery charge and potentially loss of product or damage during the process

Thanks guys, so say I get a pallet, and the right size boxes, and I fill the boxes with my product (just one product). What labels does each box need? And please tell me about the handling of the Amazon booking in process that you mentioned.

Hi
What happens when you have 1.5 pallets? Do you still palletise the half pallet? or just send them in boxes
Thanks
