One-time orders
Most pallet spend doesn't justify a multi-quarter contract. One-time orders flow through the same bidding engine, the same vetted suppliers, and the same delivered-cost discipline as our standing programs.
How it works
How one-time orders works
- 01
You submit the spec.
Quantity, footprint, grade, treatment, delivery ZIP, needed-by.
- 02
We bid the load.
Three or more qualified suppliers, compared on true delivered cost.
- 03
You approve, we dispatch.
Under 24 hours on standard specs.
Who it's for
When this service earns its place.
Spot replenishment
One-off project pallets
Trial of new spec before committing to a program
Special events, promotional runs
Why bid this through us
One-time pricing through a single yard is the most opportunistic pricing in the industry. Bidding across the network neutralizes that — and the spec we develop becomes the basis for a future recurring program if you want it.
