What happens next
Requests go through the form or to info@detroitusedgaylords.com. This page promises no price, minimum, turnaround or pickup time.
What a buyer sends
Write the footprint and inside height in inches, the wall count, the bottom style, the grade you will accept and how many you need. Add your ZIP code so a reply can say which area page applies, and say whether you need boxes built or knocked down. If a customer packaging sheet names the container, copy its wording.
What a seller sends
Count the boxes, say where they sit and whether a forklift can reach them, and attach a photo of the maker stamp, the bottom and a stack. Say what each box held before, whether it was dry, and whether a liner was used. A seller with baled cardboard should give the bale count and weight as well.
