When shared transport can work
Groupage combines consignments within shared transport capacity. It can be a practical option for smaller palletised loads when your collection and delivery windows allow. For urgent or unusual freight, we can discuss a dedicated vehicle instead.
Measure the entire loaded pallet
Provide the length, width and height of every pallet, including packaging, plus each pallet’s weight and the total shipment weight. Tell us if goods overhang the pallet or cannot be stacked. These details affect vehicle space, handling and the rate.
Plan loading at both ends
Let us know whether there is a forklift or loading bay at each address, whether a tail-lift is needed and whether there are access restrictions or delivery appointments. Secure the load and confirm the selected provider’s packaging requirements before collection.
Questions about pallets & groupage
How much does pallet delivery cost?
The rate depends on the route, dimensions, weight, number of pallets, service timing and handling requirements. Send these details for a tailored quote.
Can you quote non-standard pallets?
Yes, send the actual dimensions, weight and any overhang or handling restrictions. We will assess suitability rather than assume standard pallet limits apply.
Is groupage always the cheapest option?
Not necessarily. The best option depends on the route, available capacity and service requirements. We compare suitable choices for your particular shipment.
