More about our pickup, packing & shipping process O ur p ick - ups - With over 300 warehouses nationwide it comes as no surprise that we can pick up from almost any location. And, once scheduled, we can typically arrange a pick up within just a few da ys’ notice. When on location, our normal procedure includes wrapping any furniture items with pad wraps and blankets, while tagging any boxes with identification markers so that everything can be easily and safely transported back to our local facility. We can also pack and shipping any smaller miscellaneous items into boxes on site, should you need assistance. Our packing and crating s ervices - Once the items are back at the warehouse, our standard pack protocol is to bubble - wrap and cardboard - box the furniture items. Then, everything gets safely banded and secured to shipping pallets.  Full wood, Styrofoam lined crates for items (antique furn iture and artwork).  Insulated sectional crates for electronics (high value servers).  A - frame, lined crates for upright pieces (fragile mirrors and framed paintings)  Suspended crates for items that can be damaged by their own weight (chandeliers).  Skeleton crates for larger/heavier pieces that just need that little bit extra. Our shipping o ptions - We ship via consolidation, so your cost is based on what you're shipping which is how we can offer such competitive pricing. Our standard transit times can vary depending on where you are shipping from and to, the time of year, as well as weather condit ions. Our delivery s ervices - We can offer full service, white glove delivery in which all the items are unpacked, brought inside and placed. Or, for those looking to save a little, we can offer curbside delivery instead; simply dropping the shipment off at your residence by appoint ment.
