Used Pallets in San Pedro, CA

How buying used pallets through The Pallet King works
Used pallet supply in San Pedro, CA comes from recyclers and repair operations, so grade and quantity change from week to week. We pass your request to suppliers in our network that serve the area.
Each supplier quotes the grades they can actually supply, the minimum quantity, and whether they deliver or require pickup. Ask for the grade definitions in writing — terms like Grade A and Grade B are not standardized between suppliers.
San Pedro and the Long Beach market
The Port of Long Beach plus the adjacent Wilmington and San Pedro terminals generate continuous pallet turnover. The 710 corridor north into Compton and Carson is wall-to-wall import distribution and cross-dock operations. Suppliers serving Long Beach may also cover San Pedro; include your delivery ZIP so they can confirm.
Used pallet checklist before you request quotes
- Size (48x40 is the most common used size; other sizes depend on local supply)
- Acceptable grade(s) and how the supplier defines each grade
- Repairs allowed: plugged stringers, companion boards, replaced deck boards
- Whether mixed colors, brands, or heat-treated stamps are acceptable
- Weight of your loads and any racking use (confirm with the supplier)
- Quantity per order and how often you'll reorder
- How you'll inspect a sample of the delivery on arrival
Delivery, pickup, and minimums
Delivery area, freight cost, minimum order, and lead time are set by each supplier and confirmed in their quote. Ask for a delivered price to your San Pedro address and a pickup price if you run your own trucks, so you can compare offers on equal terms.

Grading varies by supplier. Generally, higher grades have fewer repairs and better appearance. Ask each supplier to describe their grades in writing before you order.
Are used pallets cheaper than new?
Usually, but the gap depends on grade, size, and local supply. Compare landed quotes for the same spec.
Can I get used pallets heat-treated?
Some suppliers can supply or re-treat used pallets with an ISPM-15 stamp. Confirm availability and documentation in the quote.
Is there a minimum order?
Each San Pedro-area supplier sets its own minimums; many quote by the truckload.
