Service / Selling

We Sell Boxes — Graded, Stacked, And Ready.

Tell us the size, the quantity, and when you need them. We'll quote inside a business day and stage the order on the dock — sometimes faster than a new-box mill could even confirm your PO.

Order tiers.

Tier 01
Single pallet

20–50 boxes. Will-call from our yard or LTL ship. Great for first-time buyers testing a size.

Tier 02
Half truckload

~200–400 boxes. LTL or partial. Best price-per-box step for mid-sized buyers.

Tier 03
Full truckload

400–1,200+ boxes depending on size. Dedicated trailer, lowest per-box rate, best lead time.

Tier 04
Standing order

Recurring weekly or monthly supply for OEMs and 3PLs. Locked pricing, prioritized dispatch.

Tier 05
Closed-loop swap

We bring full, we take empty — across a recurring route. Net cost lower than either side bought alone.

Tier 06
Custom build

Sizes we don't stock today. See custom & specialty.

Freight options

How to think about getting boxes to your dock.

Will-call

Pick up from our Rockford yard. Free if you arrange your own freight. Most affordable option for samples.

LTL

Less-than-truckload carrier. Most flexible for small lots; rates published per shipment. Slower transit.

Dedicated TL

Whole truck assigned to your order. Fastest, most predictable, best for 18+ pallets.

Partial TL

Half-to-three-quarter truckload. Cheaper than dedicated, faster than LTL. Best for 8–17 pallets.

Our routed truck

If your destination is on one of our weekly routes, freight rides at near cost. Best for repeat buyers.

Backhaul / swap

We deliver, pick up your empty boxes on the same trip. Net cost often lower than either alone.

Buying FAQ

What buyers ask before placing an order.

What grades of used gaylord boxes do you sell?
A, B, and C grades. A-grade looks nearly new, B-grade is a clean working box at full structural rating, and C-grade carries cosmetic wear but still meets spec. Mixed-grade orders are welcome.
What's the minimum order I can buy?
One pallet — typically 20–50 boxes depending on size. Below that we'll point you to a local reseller; small lots above a pallet ship by LTL or will-call from our Rockford yard.
How fast can you ship a box order?
Same week for in-stock used boxes, usually 3–5 business days from accepted quote. Custom and new-box orders run 7–10 business days from a mill.
Do you deliver, or is it pickup only?
Both. We deliver on our routed five-state fleet (IL, WI, IA, IN, MI), ship LTL or full truckload nationwide, or you can will-call from the Rockford yard.
Can you lock pricing for recurring orders?
Yes. Standing orders above 200 boxes a month get locked pricing for 90 days and prioritized dispatch, so your per-box rate stays predictable.
