Which pallet delivery networks offer timed slots and how do their services and pricing compare?

The major pallet networks in the UK are **Palletline**, **Palletways**, **Palletforce**, **The Pallet Network**, and **Pallex**. You typically work through a local member company within the network rather than direct.

For timed or weekend slots specifically: - **Palletline** is the largest network and generally best for timed, weekend, and late slots - **Palletforce** works well for specific channels (e.g. Amazon) and operates as a smaller network with fewer log jams at Amazon depots - **Pallet Online** was noted as "ridiculously expensive" by one member

A cost-saving tactic: if you can identify which individual haulier is picking up your pallets through Pallet Online or another network, you can contact them directly and potentially cut out the middleman.

Caveats: All hauliers are currently experiencing capacity issues. Many are not guaranteeing timed slots or even next-day delivery, so availability of premium services has tightened recently.
