With hundreds of thousands of pallets being moved across the UK every day, it’s safe to say pallet delivery services are a key component that keeps the country moving.
But for growing businesses with shifting needs, it’s important to recognise when the time is right to invest in such services, if you wish to avoid stalled deliveries and disappointed partners and customers in the near future. Otherwise, a soured reputation may ruin any chances you had of making headway against the competition.
At FDC Holdings, our team has decades of combined experience assisting businesses like yours with their pallet deliveries, ensuring bulky items – and those in large quantities – reach their intended destinations on time and in perfect condition.

Why you may need pallet delivery services
The size and weight of your items
Pallets are the typical solution for items that are too large, too heavy or too awkwardly shaped to be sent via other means.
Think large appliances, machinery parts, sports equipment and more. There are countless goods which it makes far more sense to safely strap them all to a pallet rather than deliver them in individual boxes.
Plus, if they’re on the heavier side (which is always true when dealing with large quantities – more on this in a moment) the last thing you want to do is run the risk of causing yourself, a member of your team or a courier injury by not using the most appropriate mode of transport.
Item quantity
If your business deals in large-scale deliveries with huge numbers of products being delivered to a trusted partner, pallet deliveries are a no-brainer.
With trusty pallets, you could stack hundreds, or even thousands, of items on a single pallet, giving them the underside structure and support they need to reach their new home in one piece.
Valuable or fragile goods
One of the main benefits everyone always forgets when considering pallet delivery services is safety – both the safety of the goods and how they are secured, as well as the team handling them.
The solid base virtually eliminates the possibility of weight causing it to give way, while careful organisation and wrapping ensure your goods remain evenly distributed at all times. This cuts the chances of unexpected tipping and damage as a result.
But the people behind the work make a world of difference – our team of pallet delivery specialists are highly experienced, coming from a wide range of industry backgrounds, and always treat each pallet with the utmost care and attention to detail before it’s collected by the courier.
Specific handling requirements
When dealing with goods in large quantities and weights, you could waste countless hours if you tried to move everything by hand.
But when it comes to delivering pallets via a pallet courier, our experts can safely manage and move your goods using forklift trucks, guaranteeing everything is transported around our warehousing facility to meet all industry standards.
Not only that, but our team of pallet specialists always make sure your goods are carefully loaded onto courier trucks with the utmost care (ask about our pallet and wrap service), enhancing item safety at every stage of the process before they leave us.
Cost savings
If you need to post a lot of things to a single location, you wouldn’t wrap them all individually, would you? It would cost a small fortune… so why do the same from a business perspective?
If your clients are purchasing goods in large quantities from you frequently, and they’re all heading to the same location, pallets make all the sense in the world.
In other words, while they’re not always cheap, pallet delivery services may end up saving you a lot of cash in the long run.
