Furniture Shipping in Holladay, UT

From a Single Chair to an Entire Household — We Pack It, Crate It & Ship It

Shipping furniture is one of the most challenging categories in the shipping world. Most pieces are too large or too heavy for standard carriers like FedEx, UPS, or USPS — which means freight and LTL shipping arrangements are typically required. Add in the need for proper disassembly, protective wrapping, custom crating for valuable pieces, and accurate freight documentation, and it becomes clear why most people need a professional. Ship Utah handles every aspect of furniture shipping from start to finish — packing, crating, carrier selection, documentation, and pickup or drop-off.

Types of Furniture We Pack & Ship

We handle virtually every type of furniture including:

• Sofas and sectionals — properly wrapped, protected, and arranged for freight transit
• Tables — dining tables, coffee tables, side tables, and desks including glass-top varieties
• Chairs — armchairs, dining chairs, office chairs, and accent pieces
• Beds and bed frames — disassembled, wrapped, and packed for safe transit
• Dressers and chests — drawers removed and packed separately, hardware secured
• Cabinets and hutches — including china cabinets and display cases with glass elements
• Mirrors and wall pieces — specialty wrapping and rigid protection for glass and frames

What to Expect — Start to Finish

Furniture shipping involves more steps than a standard parcel. Here's what the process looks like at Ship Utah:

1. Assessment — bring your piece in or send us photos and dimensions for a quote
2. Disassembly — legs, drawers, shelves, and removable components taken apart and packed separately where appropriate
3. Surface protection — furniture blankets, bubble wrap, foam, and corner protectors applied to protect surfaces and edges
4. Boxing or crating — custom box or wooden crate built to fit if standard packaging won't work
5. Carrier selection — we choose the best freight or LTL carrier for your timeline and budget from our network of 40+ carriers
6. Documentation — freight paperwork, insurance, and shipping labels prepared correctly
7. Pickup or drop-off — arrange freight pickup from our Holladay location or schedule a freight pickup from your address

LTL & Freight — What It Means for Your Furniture

Most furniture exceeds the size and weight limits of standard carriers. That's where freight and LTL (Less Than Truckload) shipping comes in. With LTL, your furniture shares truck space with other shipments — making it cost-effective while still getting your piece where it needs to go. Ship Utah has access to over 40 freight and LTL carriers, which means we can find you the best combination of price, speed, and reliability for your specific shipment rather than being locked into one carrier's rates.

Facebook Marketplace, eBay & Craigslist Sellers

Online furniture sales have exploded — and so has the need for reliable furniture shipping. If you're selling a piece on Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Craigslist, or through an estate sale, Ship Utah is your local shipping solution. We pack it professionally, arrange the right freight carrier, and handle all the paperwork — so you can complete your sale without worrying about how to get a sofa across the country.

Antique or High-Value Furniture? Crate It.

Antique furniture, designer pieces, and high-value items deserve the maximum protection available — a custom wooden crate. Ship Utah builds custom crates to the exact dimensions of your furniture piece, providing rigid protection through every stage of freight transit. If your piece has significant monetary or sentimental value, a custom crate is the right choice — and we build them in-house.
