Why Choose Used Boxes
A used box can do the same job as a new one when it suits the load. Here are ten reasons buyers ask about pre-owned packaging.
Often Less Than New
Used boxes often cost less than new ones. A partner supplier can quote your exact size, grade and quantity.
Many Types to Request
Gaylords, corrugated, specialty containers and pallets are all available through partner suppliers.
Graded Condition
Used boxes are commonly sold by grade, so you can match condition to the job. Grades vary by supplier.
Reuse Over New
Reusing a box avoids making a new one, which makes used packaging a practical choice when it suits the job.
Small and Large Requests
Ask for a few pallets or several truckloads. Minimums vary by partner supplier.
Delivery Options
Delivery is available through partner suppliers. Options and timing depend on the supplier and your location.
Custom Sourcing
Cannot find what you need? Send us the size you are after and we pass it to suppliers who may be able to source it.
Practical Guides
Not sure which box is right for your application? Our size guide and articles explain the common options.
Repeat Needs
If you expect to reorder, mention it in your request. Whether repeat supply is possible depends on the supplier.
Free to Ask
A quote request is free and carries no obligation, so there is no cost to finding out what is available.
What You'll Receive
Partner suppliers grade and pack their own stock. Here is what to expect and what to ask before you order.
What to Check
Used boxes are normally judged on tears, punctures, moisture damage, contamination, and structural integrity. If any of these matter for your application, mention them in your request.
Common Grade Descriptions
Many sellers use an A-B-C scale. Grade A usually means like new with minimal wear. Grade B shows moderate use but remains functional. Grade C is usable but shows significant wear. Grades vary by partner supplier, so ask how yours defines them.
How Loads Are Packed
Used boxes usually travel flat, stacked on pallets, then banded or wrapped. Ask your supplier how your order will be packed and how it will arrive, especially for longer distances.
Agree the Terms First
Quality standards, replacements and returns are set by each partner supplier. Ask what applies to your order before you confirm it.
What Affects Your Quote
Pricing is by quote from partner suppliers. These are the main things that shape the number you receive.
Gaylords, standard corrugated, specialty containers and pallets are each priced differently.
Common sizes tend to be easier to find. Unusual dimensions depend on what a supplier can source.
A box with less wear is usually worth more than one with visible use. Choose the grade the job really needs.
Quantity can affect a quote, so include yours in your request and ask about larger loads.
Distance, load size and site access all shape freight, which may be quoted with the order or separately.
Exact pricing depends on box type, size, grade, and current market conditions. Send a request for a quote from a partner supplier.
