What buying a pallet actually requires
Buying a lot on our site is a straightforward purchase: choose the lot, get the freight estimate for your delivery address, and check out. You do not need to submit a licence to place an order.
What you do need is somewhere the freight can be received, and a delivery type that matches it — commercial dock if you have one, residential home delivery with liftgate if you do not.
Why resale certificates come up
Resale paperwork is a matter of state law where you operate and sell, not a condition we impose. Requirements vary considerably between states, and they attach to your resale activity rather than to any single purchase.
If you plan to resell regularly, it is worth checking your own state's requirements early. We cannot give tax or legal advice, and you should confirm anything specific with your state authority or an accountant.
Starting sensibly as a first-time buyer
Pick a category you already understand. Choose a manifested lot so you know what is arriving. Confirm the delivery type before you buy, because the wrong choice at checkout is the most expensive avoidable mistake in freight.
If you are within driving distance of Lincoln, Nebraska, facility pickup removes freight from the equation entirely. Pickup is by approved appointment only, requested at least 24 to 48 hours ahead and confirmed in writing; walk-ins cannot be accommodated.
Frequently asked questions
+Can individuals buy, or is it wholesale only?
Individuals can buy. The practical limit is whether you can receive a pallet on freight and handle it once it is on the ground.
+Do I need a dock?
No. Residential home delivery includes liftgate service, so the driver lowers the pallet to ground level at your address.
+Will you tell me what paperwork my state requires?
No. Requirements differ by state and change over time, so confirm them with your state authority or an accountant rather than relying on a supplier.
