products not requiring Pack Ship USA, all continental United States addresses.
Arrival time for standard ground shipments is dependent on the distance
of the package destination. amishfurnituresite.com does not deliver on
Saturday, Sunday or national U.S. holidays. amishfurnituresite.com does
not deliver to post office boxes except in the case of shipments to military
bases.
Customer Pickup
Our furniture is not cartoned or crated, so you will be responsible to
bring appropriate padding material (old blankets, etc.) and a large
enough vehicle or trailer. Items can be picked up at our warehouse
located in Shipshewana Indiana 46565 by appointment only. Additionally,
some of our items are made in Ohio and a shipping fee may apply to
have them delivered to our Indiana location for you to pick up (or
they may be picked up in N. Lawrence OH.).

Upgrading to White Glove delivery can add approximately $200-$350 depending
on the weight and size of the items. Exact White Glove quotes can be obtained

Curbside Delivery
Packaging Description
During the packaging process, all "touch" points (edges, corners, sharp
points) of the furniture are packaged with a protective foam called Foam In Place
(FIP). FIP is manufactured foam that is dispensed with a machine in a liquid
state. While being dispensed, it expands and conforms to the object, creating
a mold as it sets up. This creates a custom fit around the touch points of each
furniture piece. A gray film is placed between the furniture and the liquid foam
so the FIP does not touch the furniture. All flat sides and tops are protected
with 3/4" polystyrene sheets. A custom box made from 275 pound test, double
wall cardboard sheeting covers the furniture piece. After boxing, large furniture
pieces are strapped to pallets for easy transferring by the carrier.
Delivery Description
After the furniture is thoroughly packed, it is shipped via less-than-truckload
(LTL) common carrier (such as Yellow Freight, American Freightways, etc.) Once
the shipment arrives to the destination terminal, PackShip USA will call the
receiving customer to let them know it has arrived and provide the customer with
the carrier's phone number to call to schedule delivery. The LTL common carrier
will use a 28' or 48' tractor trailer unit to make delivery. The delivery will
be made with one driver and the trailer will not have a liftgate. The customer
must have someone on hand at delivery to provide assistance to the driver during
unloading. Additional people may be required depending on the size of the order
being delivered. The LTL carrier's obligation is to unload the shipment to the
customer's curbside. It is the customer's responsibility to take the furniture
inside the home. Extra charges will apply if the customer requests to have the
shipment carried inside the home. After unloading and before the driver leaves,
the customer should inspect the furniture for damage. Product damage is rare,
however, if damage is found the customer should note the damage in the appropriate
box on the Delivery Receipt (provided by the driver) and then sign. Contact PackShip
USA immediately and a claim will be filed. (Note: If there are any tears, indentations,
or holes on the exterior of the package, but no damage is found, the customer
should still note on the Delivery Receipt that the packaging contained holes
and/or tears.) The delivery time for the Curbside Delivery method is 10-14 business
days. This delivery method generally is less expensive than the Inside Delivery
with Set Up method.
Inside Delivery
with Set Up (White Glove)
Delivery Description
When furniture is shipped to a customer for inside delivery with set up, a specialty
carrier such as Bekins or Mayflower will perform the delivery to the customer's
home with two men. Once the shipment arrives to the destination terminal, PackShip
USA will call the receiving customer to let them know it has arrived and provide
the customer with the carrier's phone number to call to schedule delivery. The
carrier will deliver the furniture in a 45' or 48' tractor trailer unit. The
delivery will be made with two men and the trailer will have a ramp and/or liftgate.
The two men will carry the furniture to the room(s) requested and set up the
furniture (i.e., assemble beds, place hutch tops on hutch bases, etc.). After
unloading and before the drivers leave, the customer should inspect the furniture
for damage. Product damage is rare, however, if damage is found the customer
should note the damage in the appropriate box on the Delivery Receipt (provided
by the driver) and then sign. Contact PackShip USA immediately and a claim will
be filed. The delivery time for the Inside Delivery with Set Up method is 14-21
business days. This delivery method generally is more expensive than the Curbside
Delivery method.
