About This Service
A Local Receiving Partner for Interior Design Projects
One destination for vendor shipments, storage, repairs and final delivery.
Furnishing one room can involve several vendors, shipping schedules and freight carriers. Sending every order directly to a client’s home can create missed deliveries and last-minute problems. Wayfinder Moving gives Western New York interior designers a local place to consolidate those orders. Your vendors ship to our Buffalo warehouse, which has dock access and can accept deliveries from any carrier. We check inventory, inspect the exterior of each shipment and email you an update. If a piece needs attention, our in-house furniture repair specialist can provide touch-ups and repairs before it ever reaches your client. When the project is ready, our crew delivers, assembles and places the furniture.
