Ice Cream Machine Pallets

This pallet is ice cream machines for $1,000 in Mixed condition, and the listing doesn’t say how many machines or which models. It mentions soft-serve machines, gelato makers and home ice cream makers only in general terms. It’s unmanifested, so there’s no item list and no per-machine cost.

It costs $300 more than the 15-unit air conditioner pallet and $450 more than the 40 to 60-unit kitchen appliance pallet on our appliance pallets page, and unlike both, its listing gives no count.

It ships from Dalton, GA, as lot DPL-184. Before you buy this ice cream machine pallet, read what’s missing.

Freight and unloading for machines

Machines like these come off the truck by dock, forklift or liftgate only; without one of the three the driver can’t unload, and liftgate delivery adds $65 ($160 residential with a liftgate). Standard freight, 3 to 7 business days, runs $25 Southeast, $45 East and Midwest, $65 Central and Mountain, $85 West Coast and Southwest; express, 1 to 2 business days, $50 to $110. This lot is about 48 x 40 x 60 in and roughly 600 lbs on the pallet; confirm with [email protected] before you book your own carrier.

Commercial or countertop: not specified

The listing mentions commercial soft-serve machines, gelato makers and home ice cream makers, but only as the kinds of equipment it sells, not as this pallet’s contents, and it gives no brands, models, voltages or count. Treat this as a mystery lot until the contents are confirmed in writing.

No count, so no unit cost

Without a machine count, we can’t work out a cost per machine; $1,000 is the pallet price before freight, liftgate fees, cleaning, parts and repairs. People ask how much it costs to buy an ice cream machine; on this pallet, nobody can say until the count is known.

Condition class: Mixed

These machines are sold as Mixed. Mixed: a combination of customer returns, shelf pulls and overstock, with no guarantee that any one item is in a particular condition. Overstock means never sold, still in its packaging. Shelf pulls sat on a store shelf and came off unsold; packaging can be worn or carry clearance stickers. Customer returns were returned by shoppers and can be new in an opened box, used, missing parts or not working. The lot is sold unmanifested; there is no item-by-item list.

Restaurant-equipment dealers and repair techs who can bench-test frozen-dessert machines are the likely fit. If you’re a café owner who needs one working machine, don’t buy a Mixed pallet with no count; ask us for details first.

How we operate

We ship FOB Dalton, GA, with a flat freight rate by state shown at checkout before payment. We don’t open pallets or truckloads to pull out the better items; what comes from the retailer is what goes on your truck. Unmanifested lots like this one cost less than manifested ones.

After purchase

Everything is sold as-is. We refund the damaged share if 30 percent or more of the pallet arrives broken, crushed, cracked, wet or unusable; on an unmanifested mixed lot like this one, a machine that won’t run doesn’t count as damage. Write damage on the driver’s receipt before signing and send pictures and the delivery receipt to [email protected] within 48 hours; freight isn’t refunded. See our refund policy for the details. Any lot can also be returned within 7 days of delivery or pickup for a 10 percent restocking fee: unopened for any reason, with you paying the return freight, or opened if it isn’t what you ordered, with us paying the return freight.
