How Kashew Delivers Furniture Across the USA

Buying second-hand shouldn’t mean second-class delivery. On Kashew, you’re shopping quality, pre-loved finds from trusted furniture consignment stores and design-forward resellers—and we make sure they arrive like the heroes they are. Here’s exactly how our nationwide furniture delivery works, what it costs, and how to get the smoothest, most affordable experience (yes, even for that 9-foot Restoration Hardware dining table or a Design Within Reach sectional).

The TL;DR

• Nationwide coverage: Coast-to-coast delivery across the continental US, from urban walk-ups to suburban cul-de-sacs.
• Service levels for real life: Choose curbside, threshold, or white-glove (room-of-choice + optional assembly + packaging removal).
• Transparent pricing: Rates reflect distance, size/weight, service level, stairs/elevator access, and assembly needs. Bundle multiple items to save.
• Sustainability first: We prioritize consolidated routes and blanket-wrap when appropriate—less waste, lower footprint, happier planet.

Your Delivery Options, Decoded

• Curbside: Lowest cost. The carrier brings your piece to the curb or driveway. Great for smaller items or when you’ve got helpers.
• Threshold: To first dry area—entryway, garage, or lobby. Ideal if you can handle the rest but don’t want a box sitting outside.
• White-Glove: Our most popular for big, delicate, or luxury pieces. Room-of-choice placement, optional assembly, and packaging removal. Choose this for items like marble tables, large sectionals, canopy beds, or anything you don’t want to DIY.

How We Move a Piece From Seller to Your Space

• Pro pickup: Your item is collected from the seller (often a local consignment store) by an insured carrier. Many pieces are blanket-wrapped; crating is used when extra protection makes sense.
• Line-haul & routing: To keep delivery fees reasonable, we consolidate routes—think fewer half-empty trucks, more efficient mileage, and less waste.
• Final-mile delivery: A vetted team handles the handoff to your home with the service level you selected.
• Communication: You’ll get scheduling windows and updates. If your building needs a COI or elevator reservation, you’ll have time to handle it.

Bottom line: whether it’s a Restoration Hardware leather sofa, a Design Within Reach lounge chair, or a Crate And Barrel dining set, our partners know how to treat premium, second-hand furniture with first-class care.

What Affects Your Delivery Price

• Distance: The farther it travels, the more it costs—but smart routing helps keep numbers sane.
• Service level: White-glove costs more than curbside because it includes labor, time on site, and packaging removal.
• Size & weight: A marble coffee table isn’t the same as a rattan side table. Heavier, bulkier items need extra muscle and equipment.
• Access: Stairs, narrow hallways, tricky turns—flag them early so we can send the right crew.
• Assembly: Beds, sectionals, wall units—assembly adds time and tools. Worth it if you value your weekend.
• Timing: Flexible windows are more budget-friendly than rush jobs.

Kashew tip: Buying a sofa and a media console from the same seller? Bundle them in one order to consolidate delivery and save on fees.

What to Expect on Delivery Day

• Heads-up: You’ll get an ETA window. Keep your phone handy.
• Clear the path: Measure doorways and hallways; move rugs and art that could be in the way.
• Protection: Crews lay down floor runners as needed; blanket-wrap is removed inside with white-glove service.
• Placement & assembly: White-glove teams set up in the room of choice and remove packaging. Snap a photo when it’s just right (for the ‘gram, of course).

Brands We Ship All the Time

Our marketplace is packed with the design names you actually want in your home. Think West Elm, Restoration Hardware (RH), Design Within Reach, Pottery Barn, Crate And Barrel, and Knoll. Whether it’s a petite apartment loveseat or a 12-drawer dresser, we’ll route it where it needs to go with the right level of care.

Why Second-Hand + White-Glove Is a Power Move

• Better build, better ride: Solid wood and kiln-dried frames travel better than flat-pack. Buy smarter, ship smarter.
• Eco wins: Rehoming a premium piece beats buying new—and consolidated routes lower emissions.
• Wallet happy: You’re saving off retail on the furniture itself, so upgrading to threshold or white-glove still nets a better overall value.

How to Get the Lowest Delivery Price (Without Compromises)

• Shop by location: Filter for nearby sellers to reduce distance fees—or target major metros with frequent routes.
• Bundle items: Add a side table or lamp from the same store to piggyback on one trip.
• Be flexible: Wider delivery windows help carriers consolidate stops and lower your rate.
• Measure once, deliver once: Verify fit (doorways, stairwells). Avoid failed-delivery fees by measuring before you buy.
• Choose the right tier: If you can handle simple assembly, threshold might be perfect. If not, white-glove is worth every penny.

FAQs

How long does delivery take?
Transit time depends on distance, service level, and routing. Local and regional moves are faster; cross-country deliveries require line-haul consolidation. You’ll get scheduling updates along the way.

Can I request a specific date?
Usually, yes—especially in major metros. Exact dates are easier with threshold/white-glove; curbside often uses broader windows.

What if my building needs a COI?
No problem. Let us know right after purchase so the carrier can issue a COI and reserve elevator time where required.

Do you assemble beds and sectionals?
With white-glove, yes. Crews handle standard assembly and packaging removal. Complex installs (wall-anchoring, electrical) may need a specialist.

Is curbside safe for premium pieces?
It can be for smaller, sturdy items. For heavy, fragile, or high-value furniture, threshold or white-glove is the safer bet.

What about returns or issues?
If something’s off, contact Kashew support promptly with photos. We’ll coordinate with the seller and carrier to make it right.
