How to Ship Furniture: Shipping Gets Furniture To Its Destination

Posted on Sun, May 17, 2015

furniture_shipping_and_freightSometimes, when you move, it's just not practical to load everything into a moving truck and drive it across the country by yourself.  Moving within the same city is comparatively easy compared to a cross-country move, when there are countless things to take into consideration:  like how you're going to get your furniture to its intended destination, and who can help you load and unload the furniture..  Furniture shipping might be your best option for a cross-country or international move.  

Ship Furniture Internationally

For international transport, your furniture will be shipped based on rates charged by the cubic meter; or, you can pack it into a twenty-foot or forty-foot container.  Both methods have their benefits; it all depends on how much furniture you're moving and what method you think will work best for you.

This is where a professional  company comes in handy.  Let them  evaluate the best method for packing up your furniture and getting it to its intended destination.  They should be able to  pick up your furniture (whether it's at your home or office or at a storage facility) and pack it up for you, ensuring that it makes it to its destination in the safest manner possible.  

Domestic shipping

When you're planning a domestic move--especially an out-of-state move--you may already have plenty of stress to deal with.  There are dozens of items to pack, a new place to learn about, and hundreds of little details that you're going to have to take care of along the way.  When it comes to your furniture and other large items, why not hire a company to take care of them for you?  

No matter what you're moving, the company that you choose should know how to package  and prepare your items  for delivery for you.  Mattress and box springs?  Not a problem.  Headboard and footboard?  Wrapped, protected, and ready to go.  Couch and love seat?  Look at having your furniture freighted, with curbside delivery. Or look a freighting furniture with traditional inside white glove delivery. Or look at a small load mover who will pick up inside, blanket wrap your shipment and deliver your furniture inside with white glove delivery.   Lots of options. You bet. The right company should analyze the most cost effective way for you to ship your furniture to its new destination.

They should already know how to handle all of those loose cushions and prepare your item for shipment in the best way possible.  Chandelier?  Yep--your shipping company can handle that, too.  A good shipping company should  provide the supplies you need at a reasonable, competitive price, so that you can put that part of the packing process in their hands and not have to worry about it anymore.
