PalletOnline is one of the UK's leading pallet and parcel delivery networks. Founded to serve small and medium-sized businesses across Britain, the company operates a nationwide network of distribution centers and partner carriers. Whether you're sending a single pallet to Glasgow or multiple shipments across England, PalletOnline handles the logistics with efficiency and reliability.
The service bridges the gap between expensive premium couriers and budget carriers. PalletOnline offers competitive pricing without sacrificing tracking transparency or delivery speed. Their strength lies in handling fractional loads, where multiple shipments share transport costs, making it economical for businesses that don't need full truck loads.
PalletOnline operates as a consolidation network across the UK. This means they collect pallets from multiple senders, group them by destination region, and deliver them together. This approach reduces costs and environmental impact compared to single-pallet truck journeys. The company works with thousands of small retailers, manufacturers, and e-commerce businesses who rely on them for regular shipments.
Their network covers mainland UK delivery within 1 to 2 working days for most postcodes. They also offer next-day delivery in premium corridors like London to Birmingham or Manchester to Liverpool. PalletOnline's tracking system integrates with major business software platforms, allowing merchants to automate shipment data into their own systems.
PalletOnline also offers dedicated account management for high-volume customers. This means businesses sending 10 or more pallets weekly get personalized support, custom pricing, and priority handling during peak seasons.
Paxlo integrates directly with PalletOnline's tracking database. When you enter a PalletOnline reference number, Paxlo pulls real-time location data and delivery status without requiring you to log into multiple websites or call their customer service. This works whether you're the sender, recipient, or business manager checking on shipments.
The app displays key information instantly: current location of your pallet, expected delivery window, driver contact details if a delivery is imminent, and any exceptions or delays. You also get proactive notifications pushed to your phone as your shipment moves through the network, from collection through final delivery.
Cost efficiency is the primary draw. By consolidating shipments, PalletOnline reduces per-pallet costs significantly compared to full truck loads or premium courier services. A small retailer shipping 5 pallets weekly can save hundreds monthly compared to using express parcel couriers.
Reliability matters too. PalletOnline maintains service level agreements with guaranteed compensation for late deliveries. Their drivers are trained to handle palletized cargo properly, reducing damage claims. For businesses shipping breakable goods or electronics, this peace of mind justifies the choice.
Flexibility attracts growing businesses. You can send one pallet today and scale to 50 pallets next month without contract restrictions. There are no minimum shipment commitments, making PalletOnline suitable for seasonal businesses or companies with unpredictable demand.
Getting started is straightforward. Open Paxlo, select PalletOnline from the carrier list, and enter your reference number. You can find this number on your shipping label, booking confirmation email, or account portal. Within seconds, the app displays your shipment's current status.
Paxlo displays the journey in a timeline format. You'll see when your pallet was collected from the pickup point, when it arrived at the first distribution center, its current location, and the predicted delivery date. If there are any delays, you get notified immediately with a reason, whether it's weather-related, mechanical, or high volume.
The app also shows historical tracking. Once a shipment is delivered, you can view the complete journey record, including delivery photos and signatures. This proves invaluable if you need to review handling or investigate a damage claim.
You're expecting a delivery tomorrow but haven't heard from the driver. Open Paxlo, and you'll see the pallet is scheduled for delivery between 9am and 5pm. If it doesn't show by afternoon, the app shows you the driver's phone number directly so you can make contact.
You're sending stock to a new warehouse and need to confirm arrival for invoicing purposes. Paxlo sends you a notification the moment the pallet is delivered, complete with a photo and timestamp. You can pass this proof immediately to your accounting team.
You manage shipments for 15 clients. Instead of logging into PalletOnline's portal repeatedly, Paxlo lets you track all references from one app with customizable labels. You can even share tracking links with your clients so they can monitor progress independently.
PalletOnline delivers to all postcodes in mainland UK and Northern Ireland. England, Scotland, and Wales are all covered by their standard service. The network includes major cities like London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Cardiff, and smaller regional towns.
Delivery times vary by distance. London to Southeast England is typically next-day. Shipments to Scotland or Southwest England take 2 working days. Paxlo shows you the actual estimate for your specific route, not a generic timeframe, so you know exactly when to expect your pallet.
Paxlo is built for users who need tracking reliability and simplicity. Unlike PalletOnline's own portal which requires login credentials and can be slow on mobile, Paxlo works instantly. You just enter a reference number and get answers.
To maximize your tracking experience, ensure you have the correct reference number. PalletOnline provides this via email or SMS when you book. Keep it handy for quick lookups. If you process shipments regularly, consider screenshotting references or saving them in a notes app so you can track from Paxlo anytime.
Enable notifications in Paxlo so you receive alerts automatically. This is especially useful if you're not regularly checking the app. A simple push notification tells you when a delivery is imminent, saving you from missed deliveries or waiting around all day.
If you manage multiple shipments, label them in Paxlo with customer names or order numbers. This makes it easier to find specific shipments later and share tracking links with customers who ask for updates.
PalletOnline and Paxlo work together to give you transparency throughout your supply chain. Whether you're a business relying on PalletOnline for regular shipments or a one-off customer sending a pallet, Paxlo makes tracking effortless.
Your PalletOnline reference number is provided when you book a shipment. You'll receive it via email confirmation immediately after booking, and it's also printed on the shipping label attached to your pallet. If you booked through PalletOnline's website, log into your account and check recent shipments. If you booked by phone, check your confirmation email or call their customer service team for the reference. Once you have it, enter it into Paxlo to start tracking.
Delays happen for several reasons. The most common cause is high volume at a distribution center, which can push shipments back by a few hours. Weather events like snow or flooding can affect routes, causing longer travel times. Vehicle breakdowns or traffic incidents also happen occasionally. PalletOnline's system (visible in Paxlo) updates regularly to reflect current conditions. If you see a significant delay, Paxlo will notify you, and you can contact the driver directly if delivery is imminent. Most delays resolve within 24 hours, but you can check PalletOnline's website for any network-wide issues affecting your route.
PalletOnline provides a delivery window, typically 9am to 5pm, rather than a specific time slot. You cannot pre-book a specific hour, but you can contact the driver directly once you see in Paxlo that they're out for delivery that day. The driver's contact number appears in Paxlo's tracking details. If you need to arrange something special like an early morning or evening delivery, contact PalletOnline directly at least 24 hours before your scheduled delivery date. Some premium services offer guaranteed windows, but these cost more and must be arranged when booking.
If your pallet arrives damaged, inspect it immediately and photograph the damage before accepting delivery. Note the driver's name and time of delivery from your Paxlo tracking record. Within 24 hours, contact PalletOnline directly with photos and your reference number. File a damage claim through their website or by calling their claims team. Include the delivery timestamp and driver details from Paxlo to support your claim. PalletOnline typically investigates and compensates for carrier-caused damage within 5 working days. Having the clear tracking record from Paxlo, including proof of delivery photos, strengthens your claim significantly.

PalletOnline's system updates multiple times throughout the day. When your pallet is in transit, tracking refreshes every few hours as it passes through distribution centers. When it's out for delivery, updates are more frequent, sometimes every 30 to 60 minutes. Paxlo pulls these updates automatically, so you always see the latest status. You'll get a push notification whenever a major status change occurs, like when your pallet leaves a depot or arrives at its destination. If you want the absolute latest information, pull down to refresh in the app, though this rarely shows anything newer than what's already displayed.
PalletOnline offers service level guarantees for their standard service. If a shipment is delivered more than 24 hours late, you're eligible for compensation, typically a percentage refund of the shipping cost. However, this doesn't apply if the delay is caused by events beyond their control, such as severe weather or major accidents. To claim, you must report the late delivery within 10 working days of the scheduled delivery date. Use your Paxlo tracking record as evidence, as it clearly shows the promised date and actual delivery date. Contact PalletOnline's customer service with your reference number and claim details. They usually respond within 5 business days.
