The disclosed pallet exemplary embodiment is particularly constructed for shipping and storing automotive vehicle passenger seats. The disclosed embodiment is a vehicle standardized pallet having cooperative seat load nesting compartments and a permanent on-board latching mechanism capable of removable receiving and securely attaching, with the same latch operating procedure, any one of the six different types of vehicle seat constructions, in pallet load groups of one or two, with the seats resting on their feet, and occupying predetermined positions in a given orientation thereon corresponding to their vehicle orientation in use. The pallet thus provide, in a grouping of pallets, a vehicle seat load bar-bode identifiable in advance for shipment from the seat manufacturer to the vehicle final assembly plant under just-in-time inventory supply system conditions so as to automatically deliver to the appropriate assembly line station the correct selection of seating for a given vehicle option in a rapid, reliable, automated and economical manner.
