PeanuckleJive Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 You will be able to buy them from wherever makes pallets, but I dunno how cheap they are the blue ones are known as euro pallets (Or they are at my work anyway) Definitely the strongest kind I keep trying to get some from work, they won't even let me have the broken ones! So they must be a fair few quid to buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxie_Monty Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Thank you. I think they're about £25, but I'm not sure, if I find out, I'll let you know. alright mate, its the lad with the t pro in long eaton that you gave pedals too. Ive been looking around for some too, but yeah ive asked a fella that works for the company that produces the euro pallets, and there worth 20 pound each one, so buying them is a big no no, unless your just silly . But i just tend to find them lying around outside the back of Iceland, literally like 10 a week, so i get my dad to come down and pick a good few up, and the shop keeper said they didnt even mind me having em, so thats you best bet Ride soon man =D.

PeanuckleJive Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Good call on the courier company, I reckon if I went to the one we use at work and name drop they'll be more inclined to throw a few my way aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckyluke Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 If you live near an industrial state then you can go around asking the shops thats what i did, therse loads near me. (: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_ruskin Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 i think the blue pallets are about £18 from a company called pall-ex who make them, but i would say your best bet is to go asking at an industrial estate/units if there are any nearby you, most places usually let you have a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckenzietrials Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Hi there near where i live there is a huge pallet store (not a shop) and we used to go there and set up lines then they told us off, so we sent a email to the manager asking if we could have a few and he replied in about a week of emailing him and he was delighted that we wrote a formal email and let us take about 25 blue crates so your best bet is : Be Formal in your approachDont get mouthy when they tell you off, just move on try emailing the companyGo to the company and ask Hope this helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rupintart Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 The reason you cannot buy the blue ones, also known as "Chep pallets" is because those are technically never for sale. Chep owns the patent on that pallet design, so places like Walmart, Target, and your large companies only "rent" them from Chep. It's why you always see dept stores have cameras outside JUST FOR pallets (and other reasons), because technically, they don't even own them, and whatever they lose, they have to pay for whenever the pallet companies come to pick them back up to send them back to the distro center. Although I've found, most large chains don't really give a shit about pallets. Well, I take that back, the people working there don't give a shit. But there are a couple construction/distro companies that sell them, but honestly, you're better off just finding them as they're pretty pricey. There are companies that PAY $5 per blue palletto come pick up. If they're willing to pay $5, you know they're worth alot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have literally 100's of them out in the open to just drive up with a truck and take. I haven't done that in ages, but it's usually hit or miss for if they bother you or just leave you alone.
