Safety<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parcels are generally more fragile than pallets, shipped in higher volumes, and handled at many checkpoints, making them more susceptible to getting lost and damaged.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>2. Tracking<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better tracking is a huge advantage of many checkpoints of parcel shipping. At all of these checkpoints, parcel carriers get updates on the shipments\u2019 location. This may change as carriers\u2019 tracking technology continues to evolve.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>3. Cost<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pallets are larger and heavier than parcels, and therefore more expensive, but are nevertheless a more cost-effective option if you\u2019re shipping large amounts of freight to the same place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>4. Speed<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LTL shipments are more likely to encounter unexpected delays while traveling from terminal to terminal, via truck or train. Also, human error can play a larger role in LTL shipping. If a carrier comes to pick up two pallets and finds out there are twice as many, loading time is increased, and if the carrier ends up with no room in the truck, pickups scheduled for the same day may get pushed to the next day or week (depending on how often a carrier services the area \u2014 which is usually based on business volume).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This doesn&#8217;t typically happen with parcel shipments. Several unexpected parcels will make little difference when it comes to loading and pickups.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Parcel-vs-Pallet-Shipping-Differences.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4260 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Parcel-vs-Pallet-Shipping-Differences.png\" alt=\"Parcel vs. Pallet\/LTL chart\" width=\"620\" height=\"588\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Final thoughts<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you know the main differences, we suggest you <\/span><b>take a look at our<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/freight\/pallet-shipping\"> <b>pallet shipping<\/b><\/a><b> services<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if you\u2019ve decided that that\u2019s the option that best fits your needs. &#x1f642;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freightera offers freight shipping services for businesses across the USA, Canada, and cross-border between these two countries.
