Your e-commerce challenges
E-commerce is the fastest growing segment of the retail market in Europe and it’s not expected to slow down anytime soon. We understand that operating in this market can be complicated. Consumers are ordering in small quantities, more often and they want it quickly. Any delays or product damage at any stage in the process can cause problems that will impact your customer. There are different international rules that apply, margins are small, and logistics can be complex. What you need is an efficient, simple supply chain for your online fulfilment

FAQ: How CHEP can help with your pallet requirements for e-commerce
How can you guarantee you’ll get the pallets you need?
Our scale means we can quickly adapt the frequency of our demand planning to ensure that we remain closely aligned to your changing needs. We have 50 times more pallets in circulation in Europe than anyone else – so we can continue to serve our customers whatever your requirements. CHEP has 260 Service Centres across Europe, so even major incidents or unexpected events can be worked around. Our scale means that we can quickly react to your requirements, whether it’s a seasonal peak, unexpected request or significant shift in demand
How can you simplify your online logistics?
Instead of tying up capital buying pallets, you can rent them from CHEP. We can manage the supply, maintenance, storage and quality assurance of the pallets you need, while you focus on optimising your supply chain efficiency. This means you can reduce the amount of time you spend on planning and administration. You only pay for what you use, while you’re using it.
CHEP’s market-leading pallet services represent the most direct and efficient way to get your products online. Find out why other ecommerce platforms, suppliers and parcel couriers are replying more often on pallet pooling.
How can you guarantee pallet quality and acceptance?
We understand non-standard, and variable quality pallets can hurt your reputation, and your bottom line. That’s why every CHEP pallet is independently verified to last up to ten times longer than other pallets. All equipment issued to a customer from a CHEP Service Centre is inspected and, if necessary, reconditioned to ensure that it meets our quality standard. Our pallets require less manual labour for repalletization and return handling and our pallets can be stacked higher when empty, and so take up less space in your trucks/yard.
Product damage can hurt your profitability and your reputation. The inconsistent build quality of white wood pallets can cause platform collapse, additional cost and delivery refusals, meaning more repairs and replacements. More sorting, too, as you try to decide whether the pallets are fit for purpose. CHEP’s improved design and construction can significantly decrease pallet related product damage. And our extensive network across Europe means that every single pallet is rigorously checked, repaired and certified before it goes to you, no matter how large your demand.
The biggest online retailers all accept CHEP pallets, they’re suitable for automated warehouses and processes - so there’s no switching providers mid-journey, saving you time, money and hassle
