Most real piles are part sale and part clear. If yours is, send one request for the whole pile and say so.
A good request describes the load by size, grade, count and how often. Size is the footprint in inches: 48x40, 42x42, 48x48, 48x45, 48x42 or a Euro pallet, or mixed. Grade is Grade A, Grade B, a core, or a mixed load. Count is a number, even a rough one. How often is once, weekly, every two weeks or monthly.
Crates, tool skids and other wood packaging go in the same request as pallets. List them in the message with their outside dimensions, and say if any carry the ISPM 15 mark.
