Used Furniture Delivery in NYC
A used furniture purchase is a great deal — and a delivery challenge. Here's how to get it home intact.
The Van-and-Pro
A van with a pro is the standard used furniture delivery. The $99/hour rate includes the van, the pro, a dolly, and blankets. The item goes from the seller to your apartment in one trip.
Wrap It
Every piece gets a moving blanket, taped. The corners that touch the van wall or the doorframe are the corners that scratch. A blanket prevents it.
Carry It Right
A couch goes on-end; a table goes with the legs off; a dresser goes on a dolly. The pro knows the carry for each piece — the right technique prevents damage.
The Walk-Up
A used furniture pickup at a walk-up or a delivery to a walk-up adds time. A stair dolly is the tool. Tell us the flights at both ends.
Inspect Before You Pay
If the pro is picking up for you, they send photos before you pay the seller. A vetted third party is the best protection against a "like new" listing that isn't.
The Same-Day Option
Most used furniture deliveries are same-day. The item is at your apartment within hours of the purchase.
