Nestable Pallets Cut Return Logistics Costs by 70%

QuickShip Fulfillment
E-commerce

Summary

QuickShip Fulfillment is a fast-growing e-commerce fulfillment provider operating 8 distribution centers nationwide. Their business model requires handling high volumes of inbound and outbound shipments, with significant fluctuations in empty pallet inventory during peak seasons.

Switching to nestable pallets for e-commerce fulfillment reduced empty pallet storage and return transport costs dramatically across 8 fulfillment centers.

Problem Statement & Challenges Faced

Standard pallets took up valuable warehouse space when empty, and return transport costs for empty pallets were eating into margins. During holiday peaks, QuickShip had to rent additional warehouse space just to store empty pallets awaiting return to suppliers. They needed a space-efficient pallet solution optimized for e-commerce fulfillment patterns.

The Solution

CHT-P1210-N, CHT-P1111-LD — Our nestable pallet line (CHT-NS1210 and CHT-NS1111) was the perfect fit. These pallets nest inside each other when empty, reducing storage volume by up to 70%. The lightweight yet durable design is optimized for medium-load e-commerce fulfillment operations. We worked with QuickShip to implement a pallet pooling model across their 8 fulfillment centers.

Our Services & Support

“The nestable pallets from Chenhui Tong solved one of our biggest operational headaches. Before, we were literally renting extra warehouse space just to store empty pallets. Now we nest them at 3x the density and save massively on return transport. It’s been one of our best operational investments.”

— Kevin Chang, COO, QuickShip Fulfillment
