Pallets

Anyone know why track 48 work is coming on pallets instead of yorks?

Stuff from Amazon? They do send theirs on pallets sometimes if there's a temporary shortage of yorks in the system

We get a cardboard shrouded pallet from Amazon every night, usually with less than ten items in it. Absolute joke.

With the amount of yorks that now get classed as damaged with the correx linings I think we can expect to get pallets through from Amazon more often

Have been getting them irregular intervals over the last three years.Normally at times of bulk Amazon drops ie Xmas or post Prime Week.

Amazon is separate which is normal. I am alluding to other parcels i.e. temu, from china etc referred to 'cut and tip'.

Is it ones that have immediately entered RM's network after clearing customs, or where it's gone to a big warehouse as part of a big order, where they break it up into individual orders and then send them individual orders into RM's network?

It's one where it's in a pallet and has individual boxes with packets inside around 10 boxes and 15 packets inside each one.

Your lucky - wait until Xmas it’ll be pallets full to the brim with small packets and a base layer of 20kg boxes in the pallets.

These are being diverted from Heathrow distribution centre to Princess royal distribution centre. There are two types of pallets one from Amazon with one entire box full of loose parcels (both track 24 and 48) and another pallet from temu containing boxes (track 48) which have to be cut open by one person and boxes cut by another.
