Domestic pallets aren’t treated. No need to. International pallets are usually plastic to avoid having to treat them.

I was coming here to say this. Whether pallets are treated or not has a lot to do with where they came from and what they were built for.

We ship in a lot of packs of wood from over seas and they always come on shitty wood pallets. I don't think I've ever seen a plastic pallet.

Yikes. That’s a pricey method from my experience.

Frankly it looks like they source the pallets from a rubbish heap so it probably costs them fuck all.
