This year was a crazy year for the pallet market. States like California were subject to massive hikes in pallet prices. This was due to supply chain issues and lumber shortages nationwide. Other states were also affected but California, Oregon, and Washington saw the worst of it. New pallet prices stayed at around $25 per pallet for most of the year. While Grade A pallets averaged $14 and Grade B averaged $11.
