How is furniture shipped

Many of our locations can ship your freight items anywhere they need to go - domestically and internationally. Because our locations are individually owned and operated, services and prices may vary. Contact your neighborhood location to ensure it offers packing and shipping of freight items. Most of our locations offer pick-up services for freight items at a nominal fee.

Contact your neighborhood location for details. The freight experts at The UPS Store can build the crate at our location, pack your item s securely inside, and ship it to its destination. The freight experts at The UPS Store can ship items ranging in size from gym equipment and grand pianos to automobiles. Because all our locations are individually owned and operated, prices may vary. Contact your neighborhood location for pricing. Most freight carriers offer a declared value program for freight shipments for a fee.

Various offers may be available at certain participating locations only. If the shelves are not a fixed part of the unit, remove them and pack them in a box before shipping. Place the pegs that support the shelves in a bag and add it to the box. When shipping a sofa, the movers will wrap it to keep everything in place during the move.

Before wrapping it, place the throw pillows that normally go on the sofa on top of it. These items will not add substantially to either the weight or the bulk of the item, but may provide some protection that can be extremely helpful throughout the shipping process.

Also, you may want to remove the feet from the sofa before shipping. This will protect them from scratches and breakage. It can also help the sofa squeeze through tight doorways. If you need to ship a grandfather clock — especially one that has substantial financial or sentimental value — then you may want to bring in an expert.

In some cases, you will need that expert to take the inner workings of the clock apart. They can package them carefully to prevent any damage during shipment. You may also want to contact an expert at your destination before shipping the clock.

Then, you have someone on hand to put it back together again at the other end of the journey. You can take apart and reassemble your grandfather clock on your own. But having an expert take care of those tasks for you will prevent costly errors that could ultimately result in damage to your clock. Your dining room table may be one of the biggest, heaviest pieces of furniture you need to ship. Check it ahead of time to see if you can safely remove the legs.

Many tables can have the legs unscrewed, which will make transportation much easier. If you have a glass top table, it will need to be wrapped carefully to ensure that no damage occurs during shipping.
