FAQ About Lancaster Pallet Shipping Services

If I Request A Quote, Am I Obligated To Ship?

No, requesting a quote doesn’t commit you to using our pallet shipping services. You’re free to decline our quote at any time—there’s no obligation until you officially confirm your order. Filling out our form simply allows us to contact you, assess your freight needs, and provide an accurate shipping quote for your cargo to Lancaster or beyond.

What Kinds of Fees Will I Have to Pay When Shipping My Pallets?

None! That’s one of the advantages of working with our Lancaster logistics team. When you ship with us, you won’t encounter hidden fees, surprise surcharges, or extra costs for packaging, crating, or other services. Because we handle everything in-house, we can offer transparent, flat-rate pricing—helping you save money without sacrificing quality or reliability.

How Is The Price For My Pallet Shipment Determined?

We calculate shipping costs like traditional trucking companies do. Your quote is based on:
The actual dimensions and weight of your palletized goods
Your specific destination
Recent LTL shipping rates for your route
Current transportation market trends
Any special handling requirements
The accuracy of your quote depends on the freight details you provide. You can also take advantage of our Made-to-Order packaging and crating services – these costs will be included in your final quote since we can prepare your Lancaster packaging and crating before delivery.

What Do You Do With The Freight After You Pick It Up?

  • Immediately prepare for delivery
