The Wollongong rule
Pickup priced in the written offer
Collections in Wollongong are priced in the offer rather than free, and the reason is distance. The closer a site is to Prestons the less the run costs, so a lot that would be a free pickup in Greater Sydney is quoted here. You get one figure covering the pallets and the pickup, netted off, so you can see whether the lot pays for its own collection before you agree to anything.
Grade and count are confirmed at pickup against the photos you sent. The price per pallet in the offer stands as long as the lot matches them, and any difference is explained on the spot rather than discovered on the remittance.

How it works in Wollongong
How do I sell my pallets in Wollongong? Four steps, no site visit.
Photos do the grading. A wasted site visit costs you a morning and costs us a vehicle, so we quote from what you send and confirm it on the day.
- 01Send photos, a count and the suburbTop, bottom and one side of a typical pallet, the rough count, the Wollongong suburb and when it needs to go.
- 02Offer in writingPrice per pallet, the grade we expect, what is a sale and what is a clearance, and the collection date. Ask before 2pm on a business day and the price comes back the same day. After 2pm it goes out first thing the next business day.
- 03Collection booked from PrestonsA pickup window that suits the site. Tell us the largest vehicle that fits, forklift or hand load, and the gate hours.
- 04Counted and settledThe lot is graded and counted at pickup against the photos. Payment terms are set out in the offer.
Which suburbs around Wollongong do we buy and collect pallets from?
Pallets build up where goods are received and broken down, so these are the areas the regular runs go through. The list is where the volume is, not a limit: anywhere in Wollongong, the Illawarra and Shellharbour is quoted on the same basis, and the figure already allows for the distance back to Prestons.
- Unanderra
- Port Kembla
- Warrawong
- Cringila
- Kembla Grange
- Albion Park Rail
- Bellambi
- Dapto
- Fairy Meadow
- Shellharbour
Not on the list? Send the suburb with the photos and the count. The answer comes back the same business day either way.

Questions Wollongong sellers ask
What do you pay for pallets in Wollongong?
Sorted A grade pallets earn $3 each ex GST and B grade $2, any type, subject to inspection. Euro, export, plastic and heavy duty stock is quoted per lot once we have seen photos, because the value moves with grade and with demand at the time.
Is the collection free in Wollongong?
Collections in Wollongong are priced in the offer rather than free, and the reason is distance. The closer a site is to Prestons the less the run costs, so a lot that would be a free pickup in Greater Sydney is quoted here. You get one figure covering the pallets and the pickup, netted off, so you can see whether the lot pays for its own collection before you agree to anything.
Which Wollongong suburbs do you cover?
We buy and collect across Wollongong, the Illawarra and Shellharbour. Pickups run through the industrial areas where pallets actually build up, which here means Unanderra, Port Kembla, Warrawong, Cringila, Kembla Grange, Albion Park Rail, Bellambi, Dapto, Fairy Meadow and Shellharbour, and anywhere else in the region is quoted on the same basis.
Do you buy CHEP or Loscam pallets?
No. Pooled pallets belong to the pool and we neither buy nor sell them. Tell the pool to collect its own and we will take everything else on the same pickup.
What if the pallets are broken?
Broken timber, odd sizes and unknown mixed lots are a clearance rather than a sale. The cost is quoted up front and any repairable cores in the lot are credited against it, so a bad lot is usually cheaper to clear than it first looks.
How fast do I get an offer?
Ask before 2pm on a business day and the price comes back the same day. After 2pm it goes out first thing the next business day. Photograph the pile side on, one photo per stack, and the price per pallet and the collection date come back in about a minute. No count needed, the scan does that.
What does a typical Wollongong lot look like?
The Illawarra runs on heavy industry rather than retail distribution, so its pallets come off steel, construction materials and port freight through Port Kembla. Expect more two tonne hardwood and fewer light one way pallets than a capital city average, and lots that are heavier and dirtier but worth more when they grade out.
Where do the pallets go after you collect them?
360 runs its own freight rather than handing the leg to a carrier, so a lot collected here can ride a vehicle already running the M1 between Prestons and the Illawarra. That is the difference between paying for a dedicated truck and paying for a seat on one already going.
What grades do you buy?
New, Grade A, Grade B, Grade C and repairable cores. The definitions are the same ones we quote on when you buy from us, and they are set out on the <a href="/solutions/pallets/guide/#grades">pallet grading standard</a>. Ask for the grade in writing on anything we buy or sell.
