A collapsible multi-level pallet having a collapsed position and an erected position includes a lower goods-supporting platform, an upper goods-supporting platform, a goods-supporting leaf and a plurality of legs. In the collapsed position, the upper goods-supporting platform, leaf and legs lay flat against the horizontal lower platform. The footprint of the collapsed apparatus is no greater than the footprint of the lower goods-supporting platform. In the erected position, the substantially vertical legs support the upper platform in a horizontal position above the lower platform, and the leaf is pivoted from the upper platform into a fixed position over the lower platform. The extended leaf is supported by a pair of deployable legs. A locking mechanism is used to lock the apparatus in the erected position. Goods may be loaded onto the upper and lower platforms of the erected pallet. The feet of the pallet are positioned and sized to define a volume beneath the lower platform into which at least part of the upper platform and leaf may be received when like pallets are stacked in their collapsed positions.
