Plus, with a contract, you can save up to 30% on your shipping expenses, making Quicargo a cost-effective choice for businesses of all sizes. Below, we break down the key factors that influence pallet shipping prices.
The size of your pallet plays a significant role in determining the shipping cost. Larger or custom-sized pallets often incur higher costs due to their space requirements. By selecting the right pallet size for your goods, you can optimize your shipping costs effectively.
Shipping distance is a major factor in the overall cost of pallet transport. The farther your pallet needs to travel, the higher the cost will be. Local shipments within the Netherlands or nearby Belgium may cost less compared to long-haul routes across Europe.
Urgency can impact shipping prices significantly. If your delivery is time-sensitive, express or next-day delivery options will generally cost more compared to standard delivery times.
The specific locations of your pickup and delivery points can also affect costs. Urban areas with high traffic, remote locations, or regions with limited access may incur additional charges due to the complexity of reaching these destinations.
Seasonal fluctuations, such as peak periods around holidays or specific industry rush times, can influence pallet shipping rates. During high-demand periods, rates may increase due to limited carrier availability.
The nature of the goods being shipped can also influence the cost. Fragile, hazardous, or perishable items may require special handling, packaging, or transport conditions, leading to additional charges.
Shipping larger volumes can lead to cost savings, as higher quantities may qualify for bulk or consolidated shipping discounts. Whether you’re sending a single pallet or multiple loads, Quicargo helps you optimize your shipping strategy by offering competitive rates based on the total volume of your shipment, providing the best value for your logistics needs.
By entering into a shipping contract with Quicargo, businesses can benefit from significant cost savings. Contract rates provide fixed pricing and priority service, allowing you to lock in lower rates and better manage your logistics budget. Our flexible contract options are tailored to your shipping needs, helping you save up to 30% compared to standard rates, especially for recurring or high-volume shipments. You can find them here.

The number of boxes that fit on a pallet depends on the size of the boxes and the pallet type. A standard Euro pallet can typically hold around 60 boxes measuring 30x30x30 cm, stacked safely. To maximize space, ensure that your boxes are uniformly sized and stacked securely to prevent shifting during transport.
The standard pallet size in Europe is the Euro pallet, measuring 120 x 80 cm. It is widely used across the logistics industry and is compatible with most transport and storage systems. Knowing the standard size helps in planning your shipments effectively, ensuring your goods fit properly within transport constraints.
Pallets can be purchased from various suppliers, including local hardware stores, pallet manufacturers, and online marketplaces. For businesses that require high-quality or custom-sized pallets, partnering with a reputable pallet supplier is recommended. Many logistics providers also offer rental options if you need pallets on a temporary basis.
The maximum dimensions for pallet deliveries depend on the type of transport and the specific carrier requirements. Generally, standard Euro pallets should not exceed 235 cm in height, with a maximum weight of 900 kg per pallet. For custom sized pallets, the length should not exceed 240 cm and the weight should not exceed the 1000 kg.
