Send a Pallet to France with ParcelBroker

France and the UK have had a strong trade relationship for hundreds of years. In 2025, France became the UK’s fourth-largest trading partner, exchanging £103.4 billion worth of goods and services. UK exports to France totalled £45.7 billion, with pallet shipping to France taken over by goods like fish & shellfish, cars and medicinal and pharmaceutical products.

Commercial pallet delivery to France has also been driven by the country’s rapidly expanding e-commerce market. In 2024 alone, the UK generated around $162.4 billion in online retail sales (a growth of approximately 5–10% year‑on‑year).

France’s online market is equally large (valued at $160 billion), and consumers are now more than ever actively engaging in online cross-border shopping. Your standard pallet delivery to France might consist of imported fashion (the country’s biggest market) or e-commerce orders from the UK. In any case, France and the UK’s strong trade relationship and steadily growing e-commerce momentum make pallet shipping to France extremely lucrative for businesses.

How to prepare the pallet for shipping to France?

Make sure your items do not extend beyond the pallet’s base. Overhanging goods risk damage, which will not be covered, and may also result in extra charges for the additional space required.

Secure palletised goods firmly using shrink wrap, ratchet straps, rope, or banding. During pallet delivery to France, your shipment may be reloaded several times (potentially up to eight), so it must remain stable. Avoid creating a top-heavy pallet wherever possible.

Protect your items thoroughly with suitable packing materials such as bubble wrap, cardboard, polystyrene, or other cushioning to minimise the chance of damage in transit.

Pallets may be stacked inside the delivery vehicle to make the best use of available space. If stacking is unsuitable for your goods, ensure that a clear “do not stack” notice is attached to the outside of the pallet.
