**2) How experienced is the supplier with retail requirements? **Make sure they can provide the appropriate pallets to meet your retailers' needs.

**3) How closely do the supplier's recycled pallet specs align with what you currently use? **Get a supplier's specs in writing to ensure alignment in terms of size, quality and performance. Ask suppliers how they ensure pallet grades are consistent from one location to the next.

**4) Does the supplier have the capacity to keep you supplied? **A supplier with national capabilities simplifies your pallet management, ultimately reducing the time and cost of doing business.

**5) How does the supplier handle order placement, tracking, verification and billing? **Much of the pallet industry remains paper-based. The better your supplier's digital capabilities, the better off you - and your bottom line - will be.
