Selling Pallets To Kamps Questions HOW MANY PALLETS DO YOU BUY AT A TIME? How many pallets we buy at a time will all depend on your location and market. Ideally, we are looking to purchase pallets by the truckload – 400 at a time.

We recommend contacting your local Kamps facility first, as the sizes and style of pallets we will purchase will vary based on the market. In markets where we have a partner location instead of a Kamps location, we will purchase only truckload quantities. Learn more about the difference between Kamps locations and partner locations.
