Every October, families across Broomfield, Westminster, and Thornton wrap up downsizing moves and estate sales, and the same question follows: how do you get a china cabinet to Dallas, a cedar chest to Ohio, and a full set of heirloom china to the grandkids safely, and in time for the holidays?

This is exactly what our large shipment and freight department handles every day, and October is the right month to do it. Ship now and everything arrives well before Thanksgiving, without December rush rates.

The Stuff Regular Shipping Won't Take

UPS and FedEx package networks top out around 150 lbs and punish anything oversized with surcharges. That's where freight takes over. Things we ship for families all the time:

  • Dressers, hutches, dining tables, and bed frames
  • Grandfather clocks and pianos
  • China, crystal, and full sets of dishes
  • Framed art, mirrors, and paintings
  • Cedar chests, trunks, and antiques
  • Sewing machines, tools, and workshop equipment

If it came out of a family home in Anthem, the Broadlands, Legacy Ridge, or anywhere around Broomfield and Westminster, and it needs to reach family three states away, it's a job for our freight department.

How We Protect It

  • Blanket wrap and padding for furniture, so finishes don't scratch.
  • Custom crating for clocks, mirrors, art, and anything with glass.
  • Double-boxing for china and fragile sets, every piece wrapped individually with materials from our packing supplies shelf.
  • Palletizing when there are several boxes going to one address, strapped and shrink-wrapped so it travels as one unit.
  • Photos before and after packing, so everyone can see exactly how it left our hands.

You can bring smaller pieces to our store in Broomfield. For big items, ask us about pickup options.

Declare the Real Value

Heirlooms are the one category where you never skip coverage. Carriers include only a minimal amount by default. Tell us what the piece is worth, bring any appraisal or documentation you have, and we'll set the declared value to match. Combined with professional packing and photos, that's what protects a claim if anything ever goes wrong.

One Invoice, One Receipt

If you're an executor or splitting an estate with siblings, paperwork matters. Everything, including packing, crating, coverage, and freight, goes on one invoice with one receipt for the estate file. One of you handles it, everyone gets a copy, done.

Why October Beats December

  • Freight takes time. Plan on several business days regionally and longer coast to coast. October shipping arrives with weeks to spare.
  • Carriers add holiday surcharges that run from fall through mid-January and climb as December gets closer.
  • Our calendar is open. Crating and careful packing take real time. In December, everything is slower everywhere.

Questions We Hear a Lot

Can you ship just one piece of furniture?

Yes. One dresser to one address is a job we love. No minimums.

How do I get a quote?

Measurements, approximate weight, and a couple of photos. Call (303) 280-6245, come in, or send us an email at [email protected]. We'll quote it fast.

What about really valuable art or antiques?

That's our specialty. Custom crate, declared value set to the appraisal, photos at every step, and tracking you can follow on our tracking page.

Do you ship heirlooms internationally?

Yes, with customs paperwork handled at the counter.
