How Furniture Fulfillment With FurnShip Co. Works
Outsourcing furniture fulfillment works best when storage, routing and delivery are planned around your actual catalog. Here is how we take a furniture brand from first conversation to shipping orders across our fulfillment network.
- 1
Discovery and catalog review
We start with your SKU list, carton dimensions and weights, multi-box structure and current order mix by channel and delivery tier. This tells us how each product should be stored and how it will most likely ship.

Custom quote and network plan
You receive a transparent, line-item quote covering receiving, storage, handling, freight and final-mile service levels. We also recommend which of our 25 U.S. markets to stock based on where your customers are.

Systems and routing setup
We connect your storefront, marketplaces, ERP and any EDI partners, then build routing rules that send each order to parcel, LTL or a home delivery tier. Test orders that reflect your real mix are run before go-live.

Inbound receiving and inspection
Containers and pallets are scheduled, unloaded, counted against the packing list and inspected for damage, with photos of any problems. Cartons are put away on positions that match their storage rules.

Go-live and delivery
Orders begin flowing automatically, multi-box sets are released only when complete and delivery appointments are coordinated for white glove and room-of-choice orders. Tracking is passed back to every sales channel.

Review and improve
We review damage, freight adjustments, delivery performance and returns with you regularly. Those findings feed packaging changes, inventory placement and routing updates over time.
Typical timeline
Onboarding timelines vary with catalog size, the number of channels and EDI partners to connect and when your first inventory arrives. Many furniture brands move from first call to shipping orders within several weeks, while brands with large catalogs, multiple markets or complex retail requirements take longer. We set a realistic plan together during discovery rather than committing to a fixed date before we understand your products.
