Client Stories

What Our Clients Say

Do not just take our word for it. Here is what real businesses have to say about working with Oakland Pallets.

We switched to Oakland Pallets two years ago and have not looked back. Their Grade B pallets perform identically to the new ones we were buying at nearly double the price. The scheduled weekly delivery means we never run short, and the buyback program on our outgoing pallets offsets a solid chunk of our spend. They have genuinely become an extension of our logistics team.
Garrett Thornton
Operations Manager, Bay Area Foods Inc.
What sets Oakland Pallets apart is the consistency. In this industry you learn to expect variability with recycled product, but their 12-point inspection process is no joke. Every pallet that arrives at our dock is within spec, structurally sound, and ready to go. Their turnaround on heat treatment for our export orders has saved us from customs headaches multiple times.
Colette Ashford
Supply Chain Director, Pacific Coast Distribution
We had a mountain of surplus pallets taking up half our yard and no plan for dealing with them. Oakland Pallets came out, assessed the lot, gave us a fair buyback price on the spot, and had a truck there the next morning. Now we are on a monthly pickup schedule and the pallet pile is a thing of the past. Great people, straightforward business.
