Used pallets are commonly sold in grades. Here is what each grade usually means, so you can ask for the right one.
Grades describe the condition of used pallets, most often the standard 48" x 40" stringer pallet. They are an industry convention rather than a formal standard, so definitions vary a little between suppliers. Partner suppliers will confirm what their grades mean when they quote.
Used pallets in very good condition: clean, solid boards and stringers, few or no repairs. A common choice for retail and automated systems.
Structurally sound pallets that show repairs, such as replaced deck boards or a reinforcing block on a stringer. A common, lower-cost choice for warehouse and shipping use.
Pallets with heavier wear or mismatched boards that still hold together. Suitable for one-way shipments, light loads or internal use.

You can request a mix in your quote request. Whether it is available depends on the partner supplier.
