Parcel & Pallet Networks
While parcel and pallet deliveries share a number of similarities, it’s important to understand the differences to ensure you’re choosing the right service for your business.
When it comes to parcel shipping, the risk of loss and damage is heightened due to the manual handling involved in consolidation and multiple transfers. However, parcels offer better tracking capabilities and are ideal for time-sensitive shipments to individual customers or local deliveries. On the other hand, pallet shipping presents safety advantages as palletized freight is packaged more securely and undergoes fewer handling processes. While it’s costlier than parcels, pallet shipping is a more cost-effective option for bulk shipments heading to the same destination.
