The company operates an online pallet delivery brokerage serving UK businesses and shippers in 17 European destinations. It functions as an asset-light aggregator, connecting customers to major pallet courier networks—Palletways, Palletforce, Haulable, and Pallex—which provide the underlying collection, line-haul, and delivery infrastructure. Self-described as one of the UK's largest online pallet delivery service companies, it claims over 30 years of haulage experience and is part of the UK's largest pallet network with 400+ members.

The core platform is a self-serve web application built on Microsoft .NET with OpenIDConnect authentication and AWS load balancing. Functional components include an instant postcode-based quote calculator, free end-to-end tracking system, and a specialized Amazon FBA delivery integration with CARP enrollment and ISPM 15 heat-treated pallet compliance. The product portfolio spans six pallet size tiers—Mini Quarter (up to 150kg), Quarter (up to 250kg), Half (up to 500kg), Full (up to 1000kg), oversized variants, and European destinations—with economy (2–3 day), premium next-day (booked before 11:30am), and European service tiers. Insurance up to £25,000 and tail-lift vehicles are included as standard. The company is part of the P2G.com Worldwide Limited Group, sharing technology infrastructure with sibling brands in the logistics aggregation space.

Revenue is generated per-transaction on a pay-as-you-go basis, with unit pricing varying by pallet size, weight, service level, and destination—e.g., mini quarter UK domestic from £25.49 exc VAT, full pallet standard delivery from £66.39 exc VAT, European 2-day premium from £97.80 exc VAT. Customer segments are SMB-heavy and span general UK/European shippers, Amazon FBA sellers, and time-critical shippers. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the website, supplemented by channel partnerships with courier networks, paid search (Google Ads, Microsoft Ads), on-site content/blog, and live chat (Talkdesk-powered) support, with no physical retail presence. No external institutional investment, headcount disclosure, or audited revenue figure is publicly available.

Direct peers

• Pallet2Go: A UK-based pallet delivery aggregator and direct sibling brand under P2G.com Worldwide Limited, offering quote-and-book pallet shipping through a similar multi-network model - effectively the closest comparable operating unit within the same parent group.
• Parcel2Go: UK parcel and pallet aggregator also owned by P2G.com Worldwide Limited; shares infrastructure, customer base, and technology platform with National Pallets and offers direct overlap in the parcel and oversize/pallet courier categories.
• Haulage Exchange: UK freight exchange / load board matching palletized and general freight to available hauliers; serves a similar broker-and-aggregator function and competes for the same SMB pallet shipper's online search intent.
• Palletline: UK pallet distribution network offering timed, tracked palletized freight services across Britain; comparable because it provides a similar B2B pallet delivery capability competing for overlapping industrial and retail shippers.

Broad incumbents

• Tuffnells: UK specialist carrier for heavier, bulkier and palletized B2B parcels; competes with National Pallets in the SMB pallet and oversize category via its own consumer-facing booking and tracking platforms.
• Palletways: Europe's largest express palletised distribution network - 350+ members across 20 countries - and one of National Pallets' core routing partners; competes both as an underlying carrier and increasingly as a direct consumer-facing pallet booking channel.
• Palletforce: One of the UK's fastest-growing pallet distribution networks, operating from Europe's largest SuperHub; serves as a National Pallets routing partner while also competing for similar SMB and mid-market pallet volumes across UK and Europe.
• DX Freight: Established UK parcel, freight and pallet delivery network competing for time-sensitive and oversize shipments; relevant as a broader incumbent offering adjacent pallet and freight services to similar SMB and mid-market shippers.
• Amazon Shipping: Amazon's own parcel and pallet delivery arm; relevant as the supplier-side counterpart to National Pallets' FBA shipping product, and as a potential long-term competitive threat if Amazon extends its outbound or freight services beyond its own ecosystem.
• uShip: Global online freight and shipping marketplace where SMBs post pallet and oversize freight and carriers bid; relevant because it competes for the same online pallet-shipper demand via an auction-style aggregator model.
