Furniture Delivery: How It Works and What It Costs

Furniture delivery costs $75 to $400 depending on the item type and level of service. This guide covers everything you need to know about furniture delivery — from threshold to white-glove service — including how to book same-day delivery in your city.

What Is Furniture Delivery Service?

Furniture delivery service is a white-glove or standard delivery option that brings large furniture items directly to your home or office. Unlike standard parcel delivery, furniture delivery involves professional carriers who handle heavy, oversized, and fragile pieces that cannot ship via UPS or FedEx. Services range from threshold delivery (leaving items at your door) to full-service room-of-choice placement and assembly.

Types of Furniture Delivery

Threshold delivery: Item is brought to your front door or garage. No placement inside the home. Cheapest option at $50 to $100.
Room-of-choice delivery: Delivery team carries the item to your specified room and leaves it in place. Most popular option, typically $100 to $200.
White-glove delivery: Full service including unpacking, placement, assembly, and removal of packaging. Best for premium furniture. Costs $150 to $400.
Same-day delivery: Item delivered the same day it is ordered or purchased locally. Available through on-demand services like Muvr in 50+ cities.

What to Know Before Your Delivery

Before your furniture delivery arrives, measure your doorways, hallways, and stairwells to make sure the piece will fit. A standard sofa is 84 to 96 inches wide, while most doorways are only 32 to 36 inches. Sectionals almost always require partial disassembly for entry.

Clear a path from the entrance to the final room before the delivery team arrives. Remove area rugs that could slip, move smaller furniture out of the way, and protect hardwood floors with moving blankets if you have them.

Important: Measure your elevator if applicable. Most standard elevators in apartment buildings are 42 to 48 inches wide and 48 to 60 inches deep. King bed frames, long sectionals, and king mattresses may require carrying up stairs.

Furniture Delivery for Online Purchases

Most major retailers like Wayfair, IKEA, West Elm, and Crate and Barrel offer delivery, but their wait times can range from 2 to 8 weeks. If you need your furniture fast, purchasing from a local store or marketplace and booking same-day delivery through Muvr gets your item home the same day.

Muvr supports furniture delivery for items purchased at local retailers, furniture stores, estate sales, and Facebook Marketplace. Simply book your move, provide the pickup address, and Muvr handles the rest.
