The whole trade,
in your pocket.

Browse loads, sell surplus, take sealed bids and get paid — the entire journey, from your phone. Every screen below is the real TPX app.

TPX app: live pallet loads for sale near you, with grades, distances and closing times — no prices
Step 01

Browse live loads near you

Every verified load within range — pallet type, grade, quantity, distance band and time left to bid. You'll never see a price: bidding is blind, so the market decides.

TPX app: a load detail with a private sealed bid — no prices shown to buyers
Step 02

Put in a sealed bid

See a load you want? Put in one private bid — simply what it's worth to you. Nobody sees anyone else's offer, and the highest bid wins when the clock runs out.

🙈 "No prices here" — buyers bid blind, straight from the app
TPX app: posting a listing — choosing pallet material, type and grade
Step 03

List surplus in under a minute

Selling instead? Pick the material, type, grade and quantity, add a photo, and choose how far you'll deliver. Set a hidden reserve if you want a floor — then it's live to verified buyers.

TPX app: sealed bids on your lot, ranked highest first, with all prices hidden
Step 04

Sealed bids come to you

Verified buyers bid blind — no one sees what anyone else offered. Watch bids land ranked highest-first and accept the one that suits. Bidders stay anonymous until the lot sells.

🔒 Prices blurred here — real trade pricing never leaves the platform
TPX app: the Wanted board — buyers post buy requests and verified sellers respond
Step 05

Need pallets you haven't got?

Got a customer order you can't fill from the yard? Post a buy request and verified sellers come to you with sealed offers — you pick the one that works and keep your customer happy.

Built for the Trade

Six Reasons to Join
The Pallet Exchange

A closed network built on anonymity, verification and fair market principles — for the people who actually move pallets.

Verified Members Only

Companies House, VAT and bank checks — every member vetted by hand before they trade a single pallet. No time-wasters, no chancers, no private buyers posing as trade.

The Market Sets the Price

No asking prices, no broker margins. Buyers submit one sealed bid and the highest wins at close. Price reflects real supply and demand — nothing else.

Trade from the Yard

Built mobile-first for people who move pallets for a living. Post stock, bid and close deals from your phone in under a minute — while the forklift's still running.

Nationwide Coverage

Set your delivery radius and match with verified buyers and sellers in range — across England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Less dead mileage, faster turnaround.

Real Market Insight

Premium members get regional market insight built from real network activity — where demand is strongest and which grades and types are moving. Read the market before you list.

Built on History

Built on the History of
Trading Exchanges

For centuries, industries have relied on exchanges to bring buyers and sellers together in one trusted marketplace.

Liverpool

Cotton Exchange

The heartbeat of the global cotton trade. Merchants gathered to source stock, understand market prices and keep supply moving efficiently.

Manchester

Corn Exchange

Grain traders built relationships, set market prices and operated profitably — all in one trusted, central trading environment.

Britain & Ireland

Fruit Exchanges

Trading hubs that became the heartbeat of their industries — where produce flowed, prices were set fairly and supply kept moving across the country.

The Pallet Exchange follows the same principle — modernised for today’s world.

At its core, an exchange exists for one reason: to help businesses source what they need, move what they do not, keep customers happy and operate more profitably.

The pallet industry has always traded through networks, relationships, phone calls and word of mouth. The Pallet Exchange simply brings that activity into one trusted, verified and transparent environment.

Just like the great exchanges before it, The Pallet Exchange exists to keep trade moving.

Why Anonymous?

Deals Won on Merit,
Not on Who You Know

Traditional pallet trading relies on relationships, broker networks and closed pricing conversations. That leads to inconsistent pricing, favouritism and time wasted chasing deals that were never realistic.

Fairer pricing Remove identity from the negotiation and price reflects genuine supply and demand — not who's mates with the seller.
Rotating handles System-assigned identity names rotate per deal. Neither party knows who they're trading with until a deal is confirmed.
Earned reputation Trust is built through completed deals and platform scores — not through who you're mates with. Performance is the only currency that matters.

"Anonymous trading creates fairer pricing. Verified members create trust. Reputation creates accountability."
