A local business behind the enquiry
ISPM15Pallets.co.uk is operated by Palletmove Limited. Southampton Pallets also identifies itself as a trading name of Palletmove Limited and publishes local pallet supply information for Southampton, the Solent and Hampshire. That gives buyers an existing business to contact rather than an anonymous information page.
Use this specialist website to settle the export packaging questions, then discuss the actual pallet supply with the team. A local connection does not remove the need to confirm design, treatment, availability and delivery for the particular order.
Pallet options for Southampton buyers
Start with the goods and handling process. UK-size and Euro-size pallets, new or used options, bespoke bases and alternative materials answer different purchasing needs. If the customer names an EPAL product or CP design, include that exact requirement. A familiar footprint is not enough to establish the product’s construction or loading suitability.
For repeat packing work, keep a drawing or specification reference so successive orders are comparable. If the cargo changes, review the base before simply ordering the same quantity again.
Packing at your premises or at another site
Distinguish the delivery of empty pallets from the onward movement of packed freight. Give the address of the factory, warehouse or packing contractor where the pallets are needed. A reference to Southampton port or a shipping line does not identify an authorised delivery point.
If delivery to a controlled facility is requested, provide the booking contact and applicable access instructions. The team must confirm the arrangement. This website does not imply permission to enter a terminal or an affiliation with a port operator.
Engineering, marine and other awkward loads
Where a Southampton enquiry concerns equipment or an irregular assembly, send the load footprint, gross mass, support points and lifting method. A machine standing on a few feet can need a different construction from uniformly stacked cartons at the same weight. Include internal timber blocks, collars or a case if those are part of the packing plan.
These are examples of requirements to discuss, not a claim that one generic pallet suits every local industry. Product-specific design and preservation requirements should be resolved before the empty base arrives.
Work backwards from packing
Give the date the packing team needs the pallets, allowing time for delivery inspection and any query to be resolved. That is different from the departure date of the freight. For recurring exports, discuss expected quantities and how changes to the pallet or destination will be communicated.
Tell the supplier whether your site has a forklift, a booking window, limited space or vehicle restrictions. Delivery feasibility, timing and charges depend on the actual site and order; they are confirmed with the quotation.
Southampton and the surrounding area
For enquiries in Southampton, Eastleigh, Totton, Romsey, Winchester and the wider Solent area, provide the exact postcode and receiving location. Southampton Pallets publishes its own area coverage and contact information, linked below. Check the specific export pallet requirement through the enquiry rather than assuming every listed general service or product is available immediately.
For several delivery sites, list quantities and access details separately. One regional name should not conceal materially different delivery requirements.
What to send for a Southampton quotation
Send pallet dimensions or a drawing, quantity, new or used preference, cargo weight and contact points, handling equipment, destination country and the packing date. Add the delivery postcode and unloading details. Include the customer’s written packaging specification if there is one.
You can call the national team on 0330 107 0944 or use the contact page. The contact page also lists the published Southampton Pallets email for local enquiries. There is no requirement to use the optional brief builder before making contact.
Before the packed goods leave
Check the packaging actually used, including any additional timber introduced by the packing operation. Review markings and condition before wrapping hides them. Keep the supplier reference and any agreed exception resolution with the shipment record. The importer or forwarder should confirm current requirements for the destination.
A pallet’s location in Southampton does not determine its export status. The route, materials, treatment, marking and final condition are the relevant questions.
