For small to medium sized items (most items on our site) being shipped within the contiguous (48-States) US, we will professionally pack with peanuts and/or bubblewrap and double box for fragile items.    We typically ship via FedEx Ground, but USPS and UPS are also options.  If you need your item shipped overnight or 2nd Day Air at an additional fee, be sure to let us know.    The shipping charge includes insurance:    0-5 lbs, free;   5-10 lbs $15;   10-15 lbs $25.

For destinations including Hawaii, Alaska and International, please contact us for a quote. 

For oversized items including furniture, it is your responsibility as the buyer to make all shipping arrangements with a shipper of your choice.  Third-party shippers handle all shipping, packing and handling, and we have outlined the following steps to make finding a shipper as easy as possible. If needed, we will be happy to provide assistance to guide you through the shipping process.

Blanket Wrap Service

This service is best for medium to large furniture. Because they transport via ground service, it is available only within the contiguous (48-States) United States. Blanket wrap shippers individually wrap your pieces to protect the surfaces during transport. They provide door-to-door service: scheduling a pick-up with us and delivering it at your convenience. Cost varies and is determined by the size of your shipment and your location. Unless you have made alternate arrangements, payment for these shippers is cash on delivery (COD).

Packing/crating and freighting service

This service is best for fragile furniture and oversized objects.  These shippers transport via both ground and air service so international delivery is available. The shipper professionally packs the items and arranges transport via freight service. These shippers also provide door-to-door service, though you are responsible for unpacking your purchase and often for the disposal of the crate once delivered. Cost varies and is determined by the size of your shipment and your location. Typically, payment for these services is required in advance. This is the only method available for international shipments and a proforma invoice stating the purchase price must be included with the shipment.
