Why buy new books by the pallet

Books are low on risk and broad in appeal, and selling them by weight keeps the buy simple. Loads here run from 373 lb of journals and notebooks up to a 1,096 lb pallet of cook books, novels and journals from recognized publishers. A book pallet suits a bookshop, a gift store, a school fundraiser or an online seller who lists by category. Journals and stationery sit alongside fiction, so one purchase supplies gifts and school items together. Cook books and picture books also make steady gifts through the year.

What condition do book pallets arrive in?

Everything is new. Colors and covers vary through a journal pallet, so expect variety rather than one repeated title. The base is 48 by 40 in and stack height is listed, for example 29 in or 53 in. Grading is at lot level. Books are not tested goods, but weight can mean crushed cartons in transit, so inspect the wrap when the freight is signed for. Move the pallet in dry areas and stack heavy cartons at the bottom to protect the covers. Use a hand truck and keep the wrap on until the pallet reaches a dry spot.

Questions about book lots

Why are book pallets sold by weight?

Titles vary within a load, so weight gives a clear measure of what you receive. The listing also states height and base size.

Is delivery included for heavy pallets?

Freight to your door is covered, and a liftgate truck is the usual US method. A tracking email follows booking, and the lot can come back inside a 14-day window.
