Anybody got any idea, roughly, what I should expect to pay for delivery of a pallet from the (Leicestershire) UK? or is it based on weight?

EDIT It would appear that Target Express parcels (used by camskill and cityLink) are a different company to that posted above.

Avoid Target Express Parcels.
The need to prevent goods from damages during transportation has spurred the urge to settle on palletized deliveries. With the rise of containerized transport, pallets are increasingly used to ensure that goods are transported effectively and that the fear of damage is reduced. Pallets come in different sizes depending on the size and weight of the goods that are to be delivered using the pallet. Wooden and plastic pallets are the most used in containerized transportation and shipping.

UK Pallet delivery
are popular in most developed nations. Costs connected to cargo delivery and transportation of goods have been reduced by a great extend through the introduction of pallets deliveries. In cases where folk lift vehicles are involved, the practice of using pallets has made work easier for traders especially those operating big stores and supermarkets. Manual labor costs are greatly reduced or even made away with through the effective use of pallet delivery services.

Pallet delivery has been boosted further by availability of the pallets. This is mostly through the cheap leasing of pallets through pallet networks. These networks own the pallets which the lease to courier service providers or even to the manufactures. The manufacturers can also negotiate about the exchange of the empty pallets with their clients. This can be either through including the cost of the pallet in the transportation cost or even arranging for ways through which they can be returned to them. Some courier companies own pallets that they lease to manufacturers who are supposed to eventually return them after the goods have been successfully delivered.

With the advancement of infrastructure in many countries, pallet delivery services have surpassed any other methods that were earlier though to be the safest as far as goods delivery is concerned. The good road networks that ensure that all the parts of the country are connected have made it possible for door to door deliveries of palletized goods. Countries in Europe such as the UK and in North America have a good railway network that ensures that palletized goods are more protected from damages connected to accidents.

Hello. I have a pallet. I have an engine to put on it. I have shrink wrap to tie it altogether. What I want to know is, who can I get to send it? What prices shall I expect to get it sent?
