Furniture & Interior Design Logistics
Furniture & Interior Design Logistics Without the Coordination Burden
Interior projects often involve valuable pieces from several suppliers, different completion dates and one fixed installation programme. ShipLink coordinates collections, protective packing, custom crating, consolidation and delivery through a single logistics contact—whether the project involves one statement piece or a complete scheme.

Protect the design intent—and the Delivery programme
A delayed lighting piece, an unprotected marble surface or a vehicle that cannot access the property can disrupt the entire handover. We plan around supplier readiness, dimensions, vulnerability, site restrictions and the required delivery sequence. Agreed room placement, unpacking, assembly or packaging removal must be scoped in the quotation rather than assumed.
What ShipLink can coordinate
Collection from makers, suppliers, showrooms, warehouses and private addresses
Protective packing for finished surfaces, glass, stone, lighting and joinery
Bespoke cartons, pallet bases and wooden crates
Consolidation of items collected on different dates, where storage is agreed
Inventory referencing and shipment grouping for project control
Dedicated or network transport selected around value, size, timing and access
Timed delivery, room-of-choice or other white-glove elements where specifically agreed
International freight and customs coordination for overseas projects
Typical shipments
Every category of object presents its own physical challenges, from vulnerable surfaces and delicate structural points to complex internal mechanisms. ShipLink provides tailored protection and handling strategies configured specifically for the unique requirements of each item.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you collect furniture from several suppliers?
Yes. Provide the supplier schedule, readiness dates, references and collection conditions. We can plan separate collections and consolidation where agreed.
Do you offer white-glove delivery?
White-glove elements can be quoted, including agreed room placement, unpacking or packaging removal. Availability depends on location, access, item weight and the precise service scope.
Can you protect marble, glass and high-gloss finishes?
Yes. We assess surfaces, edges, projections and weight before selecting protective materials, supports and—where appropriate—a bespoke crate.
Do you provide storage?
Temporary holding or project storage may be arranged where agreed in advance. The quotation should state duration, handling events, access conditions and charges.
Can you ship furniture internationally?
Yes. We can coordinate packing, crating and freight by road, air or sea according to dimensions, urgency, value and destination requirements.
What information is needed for a project quotation?
Provide an item schedule, photographs, dimensions, weights where known, supplier locations, destination access, delivery sequence and required installation date.
