Pallet Shipping to USA | Send a Pallet

Send a Pallet to the USA with ParcelBroker

The USA has the world’s largest economy and is arguably the most powerful country on earth. It has a close relationship and strong cultural and language links with the UK, and is home to a large number of British expats. America is a key trading ally to the UK and trade is likely to increase after Brexit.

Whether you are a business owner planning to expand operations in the USA, or you’re relocating to the States and need to transport your household goods, ParcelBroker’s services will make pallet delivery simple and affordable.

How to prepare the pallet for shipping to the USA?

Ensure that your goods do not overhang the edge of the pallet base. This can lead to damage which will not be covered, as well as additional charges for more delivery space.

Palletised goods must be made fast with shrink wrapping, ratchet straps, rope or banding. The pallet may be re-loaded up to 8 times during delivery, and must be stable; take care to avoid packing a top-heavy pallet.

Ensure that your goods are given sufficient protection against damage by wrapping them in bubble wrap, cardboard, polystyrene, or other packaging materials.

Pallets may be stacked to maximise usage of space in delivery vehicles. If this is not appropriate for your goods, ensure that this information is displayed on the outside of the pallet.

Engine parts and gearboxes must be shipped through our dedicated delivery service - call us on 0871 288 5741 for a quote.

USA FAQs

Do I need to deal with customs when shipping a pallet from the UK to the USA?

The customs process for items entering the USA can be complicated; all goods the country import must be inspected by border staff. However, a good rule of thumb is to provide a detailed description of what you are sending, the value of the goods and the purpose of you sending them. ParcelBroker will help you with the process, and our customer service team are happy to help if you are unsure.

Can I send an engine or gearbox to the USA?

Yes, but only on a special service dedicated for these types of goods. These goods cannot be shipped via the pallet services displayed on our website. To get a quote, please contact our team on 0871 288 5741 or email us via the contact page on our website.

Can you order a pallet delivery to be collected at the weekend?

Our couriers offer business-day collections and deliveries, but not weekend collections.
