Furniture Deliveries - What You Need to Know

Large items, such as furniture pieces, are shipped ground freight with curbside delivery. 

The items are boxed and secured to a wood pallet, then shipped using a freight company. Shipping times are 1-2 weeks, depending on the destination. 

Curbside Freight Delivery Service:
Curbside delivery service provides delivery of your large order to the end of your driveway. This service is completed by one person, does not include bringing anything inside (including the garage), set up or assembly of products, or removal of packaging materials.

  1. Your item will be shipped to a local delivery terminal.
  2. The delivery terminal will call you when your order arrives to schedule a date and time you can be home to receive and sign for it.
  3. Consider planning to have a friend, family member, or hired help available to help you the day you receive your freight order.
  4. Your order will be delivered on a lift gate truck and will be taken off the truck by the driver.
  5. Inspect your order carefully, please read notes about damaged merchandise below.
  • Storage fees may apply if the appointment cannot be made in a timely manner. We will notify you if this becomes an issue.
  • Pickup from the terminal is sometimes available if you're unable to be home during operating hours. If this interests you, discuss this option with the freight company when they call you to set up the delivery appointment. 
  • Please notify us at info@randomactsart.com before your order ships if you live down a road or driveway that a large delivery truck may not be able to access. If the driver is unable to complete the delivery because we weren't notified of your remote location beforehand, you will be responsible for any additional charges that arise to store and/or make delivery to your destination possible.
