Delivery Methods

Here at Office Pinnacle, we leverage different types of shipping methods in order to ensure we efficiently deliver products of all weights and sizes. Please read below for a simple breakdown of each method so that you can decide if you'll need additional services (i.e liftgate or inside delivery).

 

By Package Carrier

For smaller items, such as office chairs, ergonomic accessories, and even ready-to-assemble bookshelves, these are shipped through what most people think of as normal carriers (UPS, FedEx, USPS). Items that fit into this category will be delivered to your loading dock (business/commercial) or your front door (residential).

 

Tailgate Delivery

On the flip side, larger and heavier furniture items such as desks and filing cabinets will have to be shipped via a freight carrier using a large semi-trailer truck. For this method, the delivery truck with pull up to your loading dock and bring the furniture to the back of the truck. It's very important to understand that for this delivery method, you would be responsible for taking the furniture off the truck and into your building. This shipping method is also commonly referred to as curbside delivery.

 

Tailgate Delivery with Liftgate

If your location does not have a loading dock, it's strongly encouraged that you request a liftgate truck. This is because removing heavy furniture from a four-foot high trailer can very challenging and not worth the struggle. When you request a liftgate with your delivery, the driver will pull up curb side of your business or residence and the liftgate will lower your large package to the ground so that you can more easily move it inside of your home or office. 

 

Inside Delivery

In the event your location does not have people available to bring the furniture into the building, it's recommended that you add inside delivery service to your order. When you add inside delivery, the delivery driver will take the boxes off the truck and bring them inside your location's ground level front door. Remember, there is an additional fee for inside delivery service and it may add a few days to the delivery time.
