Luxury Furniture Shipping and Interior Design Logistics
We’re Trusted By The Best
For interior designers, antique dealers, and private collectors, furniture is more than functional; it’s art. Arrow Express provides luxury furniture shipping services designed to protect high-value, custom, and antique pieces that standard movers cannot handle.
Whether you’re shipping a single antique armoire or coordinating an entire villa’s worth of custom fixtures, our process is built on protection. We specialize in handling complex surfaces, ensuring they arrive at the destination flawless and ready for installation.
Consolidation Services for Interior Designers
Managing a renovation or a new fit-out involves coordinating dozens of vendors. We simplify the process with our interior design logistics and consolidation service. We receive items from multiple manufacturers at our secure warehouse, inspect them for damage upon arrival, and store them until your site is ready.
Once the project timeline aligns, we deliver everything in a single, coordinated white glove furniture delivery, removing the stress of managing multiple delivery trucks at a construction site.
Specialized Handling for Fragile Materials
We apply distinct handling protocols based on the material and finish of each piece.
Marble and Stone Handling
We build specific solutions for heavy stone. This includes A-frame crates for shipping marble tables, which are transported vertically to prevent cracking under their own weight.
Antiques and Delicate Surfaces
We use archival, non-abrasive soft packing materials (like Tyvek®) to protect delicate patinas, varnishes, and fabrics before any cushioning is applied, preventing surface abrasion.
White-Glove Assembly and Placement
Our service doesn’t end at the door. We handle uncrating, placement, and light assembly of multi-part fixtures, removing all packing debris so the space is left showroom-ready.
The Process of Shipping Luxury Furniture
From the showroom to the final room, we manage the flow of furniture to ensure flawless condition.
Condition Inspection
Upon collection or warehouse receipt, we inspect the piece for existing scratches or finish issues, documenting everything to ensure accountability.
Surface Protection
We apply a first layer of protection tailored to the finish, using non-reactive materials for lacquer or breathable wraps for antique wood.
Structural Stabilization
For transport, pieces are crated or shadow-boxed to relieve pressure on delicate legs or joinery, ensuring the structure isn’t stressed by road vibration.
White-Glove Installation
We deliver on your schedule, unpack carefully, place the item exactly where specified, and remove all debris immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions About Furniture Shipping
From antique cabinetry to modern architectural fixtures, high-value furniture demands white-glove care. Below are answers regarding our assembly services, protection methods for delicate finishes, and consolidation options for designers.
Do you offer white-glove assembly for furniture?
Yes. Our service includes uncrating, placement, and light assembly (securing legs, shelving, or multi-part fixtures) at the destination. We also remove all packing debris.
Can you consolidate shipments for interior designers?
Absolutely. We can receive furniture from multiple vendors at our warehouse, inspect the condition upon arrival, and store the items until the renovation or project is ready for a single, consolidated installation.
How do you protect antique surfaces?
We wrap wood and lacquer surfaces in non-abrasive soft blankets or Tyvek® before applying any cushioning. We never use tape directly on finished surfaces.
Can you crate marble tabletops?
Yes. Marble is extremely prone to cracking if laid flat. We build A-frame crates to transport marble and glass tops vertically, which is typically the safest orientation.
Do you ship office fixtures and architectural models?
Yes. We have experience shipping large-scale architectural models and custom office fixtures, often using custom crating to protect fragile details.
Is furniture insurance different from art insurance?
It is similar. We can arrange shipping insurance for high-value furniture, provided we have packed and inspected the items before transport.
