  We present a detailed study on the (magneto)transport properties of as-cast
and heat treated material UCu$_4$Pd. We find a pronounced sample dependence of
the resistivity $\rho$ of as-cast samples, and reproduce the annealing
dependence of $\rho$. In our study of the Hall effect we determine a metallic
carrier density for all samples, and a temperature dependence of the Hall
constant which is inconsistent with the Skew scattering prediction. The
magnetoresistive response is very small and characteristic for spin disorder
scattering, suggesting that overall the resistivity is controlled mostly by
nonmagnetic scattering processes. We discuss possible sources for the
temperature and field dependence of the transport properties, in particular
with respect to quantum criticality and electronic localization effects.
