The Problem with Traditional Wood Crates (And How We Fixed It)

For decades, shipping crates have been slow to build, hard to handle, and frustrating to source. Custom crate lead times can stretch for days—or even weeks—leaving businesses stuck while products sit on the dock.

At Fast Crates, we set out to fix that.

The Problems We Kept Hearing:

1. Too Slow to Ship
Most crate manufacturers build to order. That means waiting for quotes, production, and delivery. When you’re on a tight timeline, that’s not good enough.

2. Time-Consuming Assembly
Traditional crates often require drills, screws, metal brackets, and multiple people to put together. That slows down your team and increases labor costs.

3. No Pricing Transparency
Need a crate? You have to fill out a form, wait for a quote, and hope it fits your budget. There’s no simple way to buy crates online and know what you’re paying up front.
