There are many reasons that you might need furniture shipped. It could be that you are planning a move to a new house or out-of-state. Perhaps, you sold your bedroom set to your sister. When it comes to furniture shipping, you have a few options. You just need to decide between having a traditional moving service or sending it through a freight company. Here’s what you need to know to make the right choice for you.
With a traditional moving company, you get white glove service. Someone from the company will come to your home and prepare your furniture for the move. This can include boxing it and wrapping individual pieces of furniture in blankets. The preparation is to ensure your precious furniture arrives at its destination safely.
Once the furniture is ready, they will remove it from your house and load it on a moving truck. When it arrives at its destination, the movers will unload the pieces, put them in the house, unpack the pieces and inspect them. This is top-notch service that allows you to relax while your furniture is taken care of for you.
When you ship your furniture as freight, the company will come to your location and pick up the pieces. Once they arrive at shipping company's receiving and shipping warehouse, the furniture will be wrapped, palletized and loaded on to a truck.
When it is delivered, it will be dropped off at your curb. You or the new owner will be responsible for taking it inside and unpacking it. If you prefer you can choose to have white glove service, which includes bringing the items inside the home, unpacking them. Overall,sending via freight is a good option to save a little money.
