Residential Pickup / Delivery

Many of FreightSimple's carrier partners can perform pickups or deliveries at residential locations.

Residential pickups and deliveries are significantly more complicated for carriers to perform so it is important to plan these correctly

Special Services#

As well as selecting the location type as Residential when quoting you should also include the required special services

Liftgate

As residences typically do not have loading bays or forklifts, a truck equipped with a liftgate will be required to complete the pickup or delivery.

Appointment

As people are typically not home during business hours, an appointment is usually required to successfully complete a residential delivery.

Inside Pickup or Delivery

Typically with residential delivery you will want the driver to bring the item beyond the threshold and inside the residence. Please include Inside Pickup or Inside Delivery service to ensure this.

Limitations#

No Residence to Residence Shipments

Note: We do not support deliveries between two residences. We recommend speaking with a home moving company about such moves.

No White Glove Service

We also do not offer specialized white glove residential delivery services. The drivers cannot assist with packaging, unpacking, packaging removal or assembly. If you need these we recommend speaking with specialist furniture delivery companies.
