    First Pallet Pictures

    Today I am trying to figure out how I want to arrange boxes and items for my first pallet shipment ever. I am selling to a buyer on here and have a request for a quote out. I am unsure how to best stack the boxes for max security. This seemed like a configuration that would work. All the heaviest boxes are on the bottom. There is a total of about 600lbs here. My plan was going to be to go to staples or home depot and get uniform sized boxes to better stack, but they are all closed by me on account of the corona.


    Looking for advice on what I should do.... wrap it all as-is, or try and wait a bit until I can get some more uniform boxes and re-package it all. Will a shipping place even take a pallet if its not totally full and not stackable? (well..... it could be stack on something else, but cant be stacked on top of).













    Another option is just driving it all to the destination myself.... its only about 6 hours away... I could get there and back with probably $60 of gas (and 12 hours of my time though)
