## **How Our Furniture Delivery Works**

When you choose a piece from us, you're not just buying furniture, you're welcoming in something we designed, built, and finished with care. We take that responsibility seriously, right through to delivery. That's why we partner with a small network of trusted, fully insured, independent furniture shippers who specialize in blanket-wrapped, in-home service.

---

### **Why we don't use cheap freight**

There are lower-cost freight options out there, but they're not built for heirloom furniture. We've all seen the horror-story reviews: dropped crates, chipped corners, boxes left in the rain. Our work deserves better, and so do you. Our private shippers move furniture every day, handle it by hand (not forklifts), and deliver it safely, undamaged, and exactly where you want it in your home.

---

### **Where we transport and deliver:**

-   We **transport and deliver** nationwide to all locations in **Mainland U.S.**
-   We **transport** to **U.S. Ports of entry for Canadian orders & U.S. coastal ports for off mainland or international orders**. It is up to the customer to arrange pick-up from the U.S. based ports and arrange delivery to the desired destination.

---

### **Delivery options:**

#### **White-glove in-home delivery (most popular)**

-   **Blanket-wrapped protection** for transport
-   **In-home placement** to the room of your choice
-   **Assembly included** when needed

#### **Curbside / Porch / Garage delivery (lower price)**

-   **Blanket-wrapped** for transport
-   **No in-home placement or assembly**
-   Delivered to your **porch, yard,** or placed in your **garage**

---

### **How delivery pricing works**

Delivery cost is based on:

1.  **Size & weight of the piece(s)**
2.  **How much space they occupy on the truck**
3.  **Destination ZIP code**

Because our shippers plan routes for safe, efficient runs, the quote you receive reflects your furniture's footprint and where it's headed. Share your ZIP code and the pieces you're considering, and we'll provide a clear estimate before we schedule.

### **What to expect after your order is ready**

1.  **Scheduling call**: Our delivery partner will reach out to you to coordinate a date and window.
2.  **Day-of delivery communication**: You'll get updates as they get close. Someone will need to be present at scheduled delivery time including curbside delivery.
3.  **Careful delivery**: Your furniture arrives blanket-wrapped and is either brought inside, placed, and assembled (white-glove) **or** if you choose curbside delivery it will be placed outside the home, on a porch or in a garage.
4.  **Final check**: For white-glove deliveries, we make sure everything looks perfect before we leave.

### **How to prepare for delivery day**

-   Measure doorways, stairs, and hallways.
-   Clear a path to the room where your piece will live (white-glove in-home delivery).
-   Let us know about any tight turns, elevators, or multiple flights of stairs so the team can plan accordingly.
-   Keep pets safely tucked away while the team is moving large items.
-   For **curbside** or porch deliveries, please plan for help moving your piece indoors.

### **A team we (and our customers) trust**

We've worked with our delivery partners for years. They're courteous, communicative, and consistent—and our customers regularly tell us the delivery was as impressive as the furniture itself. That's exactly the experience we want for you.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What's the difference between white-glove and curbside delivery?

White-glove delivery includes bringing your furniture inside to the room of your choice and assembling it if needed. Curbside delivery means we place your blanket-wrapped furniture at your porch, yard, or garage—you'll need to arrange moving it inside yourself.

### Do you deliver to Alaska, Hawaii, or Canada?

We transport to U.S. coastal ports for off-mainland locations and to U.S. ports of entry for Canadian orders. From there, you'll need to arrange pickup and final delivery to your destination.

### How much does delivery typically cost?

Delivery costs vary based on the size and weight of your piece(s), how much truck space they need, and your ZIP code. Contact us with your location and the pieces you're interested in for a personalized quote.

### Do I need to be home for delivery?

Yes, someone needs to be present at the scheduled delivery time for both white-glove and curbside deliveries. Our delivery partner will contact you to coordinate a convenient time window.

### What if my furniture doesn't fit through my door?

Before delivery, measure all doorways, stairs, and hallways. Let us know about any tight turns or challenging spaces when you order so our delivery team can plan accordingly. Our experienced shippers are skilled at navigating tricky spaces.
