When a DVD pallet makes sense

A pre-owned DVD pallet contains approximately 1,200–1,300 DVDs, most in their original cases with original artwork. Pallets suit buyers who can handle a larger assortment and have space to receive, sort and store it. Some buyers call these bulk containers DVD gaylords.

Pre-owned pallet DVDs are not tested for playback, and a small percentage may be missing discs or may not work. Review the full condition details on the product page before ordering. Photos show representative inventory; actual titles and assortment vary.

Compare the delivered cost, not just the pallet price

The pallet price is the product cost. Freight is added separately. Use our freight calculator with your delivery address and the delivery services you need, including liftgate service where applicable.

Delivered cost per DVD = (product total + freight) ÷ DVD quantity. Add applicable tax to your own budget. Pallet counts are approximate, so use the lower end of the stated range for a more conservative comparison.

Quoting multiple pallets together may reduce freight per pallet, but compare the actual quotes before choosing. A lower unit cost only helps if the total purchase and workload fit your business. Online freight quoting supports up to six pallets; contact us for larger shipments. Boxes ship free when ordered with pallets, and pallet freight still applies.

DVD boxes and DVD box sets are different

Our DVD boxes are bulk lots of mixed movies. DVD box set pallets contain mixed TV seasons and movie collections. Sealed DVD pallets are another separate option. Check each listing for its assortment, condition and availability.
