Shipping Furniture From Detroit and Its Suburbs
Small furniture shipments here tend to follow a few patterns. An engineer takes a job in another state and only wants the good pieces. A student finishes at Wayne State or in Ann Arbor. A family clears out a parent’s house and splits the furniture among siblings who live far apart.

Pickup in Two-Family Flats, Lofts and Condos
Every estimate covers white glove pickup from the first floor. Many older streets in Detroit and Hamtramck are lined with two-family flats, where the upper unit sits at the top of a narrow interior stair, and many suburban homes keep extra furniture in the basement. Downtown loft buildings and condo associations in Troy, Novi and similar suburbs often set move hours, so check yours before choosing a date. Call (866) 333-8018 to check access at your building before you book.
Michigan Winters and Pickup Day
From December into March, a pickup can mean snow on the walk and salt slush on the driveway. Shovel a clear path to the door, keep wood and upholstered pieces off a damp garage floor before the crew arrives, and leave room for the truck where plows have piled snow along the curb.
Shipping Furniture to Detroit
Buying a piece out of state or moving into the city? Furniture shipped to Detroit can be held for Will-Call pickup at the destination terminal (the lowest-cost option), set down at the nearest accessible point with Curbside Delivery, or carried inside with Full Service. If your closing date or lease start is not fixed yet, short-term storage at the destination terminal can bridge the gap.
