Furniture Shipping in Salt Lake City, From the Avenues to Daybreak
Salt Lake City addresses are grid coordinates. Numbering starts at Main Street and South Temple beside Temple Square, so an address such as 1520 East 1700 South puts the house on 1700 South, about fifteen blocks east of Main. Much of Salt Lake County uses the same grid, and 500 East and 500 West are more than a mile apart, so write the full address with every direction on your booking.
Steep Streets in the Avenues, Capitol Hill and Federal Heights
North of downtown, the Avenues climb the foothills on small blocks, with lettered streets crossing numbered avenues. Many houses there date from the late 1800s and early 1900s, sit above the sidewalk on a flight of concrete steps and have narrow stairs inside. Capitol Hill and the Marmalade District have the same grades, and Federal Heights adds long hillside driveways.
On a hillside lot, call (866) 333-8018 to check access at your address before you book. Every estimate includes white glove pickup from the first floor of the home.
Bungalow Basements in Sugar House, Yalecrest and Liberty Wells
The east side is full of bungalows and brick cottages built between the 1910s and the 1930s, and many have a finished basement reached by a low, steep stair. A sleeper sofa or a solid oak dresser that went down there years ago may not come back up in one piece. If any piece on your list is stored downstairs, call (866) 333-8018 to talk it through before you book.
Downtown Towers and the New Apartment Blocks
Downtown, Central Ninth and the blocks along the S-Line in Sugar House have filled with mid-rise and high-rise apartment buildings. Most have a loading area and assign move times. Call (866) 333-8018 to check access at your building before you book.
HOA Rules in the South Valley, Utah County and Davis County
Newer subdivisions in South Jordan’s Daybreak, Herriman, Lehi, Kaysville and Farmington often have HOA covenants on commercial trucks, street parking and work hours. Read yours or call the management company a week ahead. A shared driveway or a tight cul-de-sac is worth a note on the estimate so the crew knows where to load.
What Salt Lake City Customers Ship
- Family heirlooms such as pioneer-era rocking chairs, quilt chests and tall case clocks, crated when they are fragile
- Desks, task chairs and file cabinets from a home office or a small business in the Lehi tech corridor, a commercial furniture delivery out of Utah too small for a moving van
- An apartment’s sofa, beds and dresser, with the boxes that go with them
- Mirrors, framed art and glass tabletops in custom crates
Snow and Winter Pickups
Valley snow usually starts in November and can return into April, and the higher benches near the mountains get more of it than the west side. Ice on steep front steps is the usual winter hazard at a pickup, so clear and salt the path the evening before.
Furniture Coming Into Utah
People who take a job here often send a few rooms ahead and buy the rest after they arrive. Incoming furniture is priced the same way, by weight and space. For white glove delivery in Salt Lake City, pick Full Service and the crew carries each piece inside. Curbside Delivery brings it to the closest point the truck can reach, and Will-Call, the lowest price, means you collect it at the destination terminal. If a lease start or closing date moves, short-term storage at the terminal can hold the load until you have keys.
