There is the EUR - sign on the pallets. These are normed, high quality and even tested and vertified.
And they seem to be brand new.
The transport companies are charged normally 25,-€ for a new pallet.
I've seen already several transport companies going broke because of customers that didn't return the "free pallets" and refused to pay for them.
You are correct with the Story but i just see a "crown" on the pallets, no signs showing the good quality of Euro pallets. Seems to be different type. So it could be real free stuff. But maybe I'm wrong.
A buddy of mine has a hardwood mill dedicated to building shipping pallets for businesses. There's always some that don't meet quality standards (wood split, knots, etc) so he gives them away to folks in town.
If you ask someone at a construction site, usually they can give you some pallets for free (at least here in germany). EUR pallets are for transport/cargo and are indeed not for free.
