Have you ever had to move small amounts of furniture, household items, or office equipment cross-country? Have you ever considered Less-Than-Load freight?
Most major moving companies require a large amount of furniture and a large dollar amount for moving furniture across throughout the United States.
There are other ways to send small amounts furniture. LTL (less than load) shipment consolidates freight from other customers on the same truck. Small amounts of freight from various customers are shipped at a savings all over the country.
When requesting LTL it is good idea to ask for the days when discounts are provided. Companies that book your shipment should pass these savings on to you, their customer.
Another factor to consider is the length of time it will take your shipment to reach its final destination. Most carriers provide an expedited service at an additional cost.
You can take out coverage for the value of your shipment due to loss or damage by the carrier.
The process for freighting your furniture is relatively simple. Your furniture is packed carefully on a pallet, surrounded by 1 x 4’s shrink wrapped and sent out as freight.
The freight company will call the day before to set a delivery time that fits in with your schedule.
When your furniture is delivered, you can request an "inside delivery" for a few dollars more.
Furniture freighting is the best way for you to ship small quantity of furniture.
