I had a computer item palletized and shipped by Air
Freight ( it went
by surface ). An open pallet will not have things intentionally
stacked on it. It is possible to have something dropped on it or a
forklift tine rammed through it but that is another issue.
In my case, it worked out well but they did not deliver to my door (
I have no loading dock ). I had to go and pick it up at their
distribution center ( about a 25 mile drive ).
In my case, I simply used the local packaging franchise, Pak Mail.
Since they routinely load pallets, they didn't mind receiving one. Cost
me all of $5 for a warehouse fee--and they even helped load it into my
truck.
When I got it home, that's where the neighbor and six-pack came in handy.
