The Proper Way to Ship Custom Mahogany Furniture | White Glove Delivery

Posted by Mahogany Millworks on 21st Jul 2025

When you invest in handcrafted custom mahogany furniture, you're not just buying a piece to fill a space; you're acquiring a timeless, one-of-a-kind work of art meticulously built to your exact specifications. From the initial design to the final stroke of craftsmanship, immense care goes into creating your unique piece. Shouldn't the shipping process reflect the same level of attention and precision?

At Mahogany Millworks, we firmly believe that the journey of your custom furniture from our workshop to your home should never be an afterthought. The safe and secure delivery of such high-value, often delicate items is paramount. That's why we encourage every client to be an informed consumer.

Key Questions to Ask Before Shipping Custom Furniture

Before your exquisite custom furniture embarks on its journey, it's crucial to understand the shipping process. Here are the essential questions you should always ask any seller to ensure your investment is protected and handled with the care it deserves:

  • Will my furniture be blanket-wrapped and shipped via a specialized white-glove provider? This is critical for delicate, high-value items, offering superior protection over standard freight.

  • How long does the shipping process typically take from dispatch to delivery? Understanding the timeline helps you plan and anticipate your furniture's arrival.

  • Is my order fully insured? Up to what value? Accidents can happen. Full insurance coverage provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen circumstances.

  • What is the typical claims process if there's damage or loss during transit? Knowing the steps to take in advance can save significant stress if an issue arises.

  • Will delivery include unpacking and placement in the room of my choice? White-glove service often includes this, saving you the hassle of heavy lifting and careful maneuvering.

  • Does it include full assembly of the piece, if required? For larger or more complex items, assembly services can be invaluable.

  • What if the delivery location involves stairs or tight access? Discussing potential logistical challenges beforehand ensures a smoother delivery experience.

  • What should I do immediately if my item arrives damaged? Clear instructions for immediate action are vital for a successful resolution.

What to Do If Damage Occurs:
