Your Connecticut Receiving Warehouse for Every Vendor Order

Q: Where is your receiving warehouse in Connecticut?

Our Connecticut receiving location is at 38 Boston Post Road, West Haven, CT 06516, next door to New Haven. Freight is taken by appointment, Monday to Friday from 9am to 3pm; call (475) 305-1172 before a shipment leaves the vendor. How receiving works at every location is set out on our receiving warehouse page.

Q: Can I have furniture shipped to West Haven before my house is ready?

Yes. Put your name or project on each order, give vendors the Boston Post Road address and send us the list. Pieces are held with no minimum period, through a New Canaan renovation that runs long or a Westport closing that moves, and delivered when the rooms are finished.

Q: Do you receive trade orders for Fairfield County designers?

Yes. Interior designers in Greenwich, Darien and Westport route makers and workrooms to West Haven, follow each arrival through their client login, and book the install once the paint is dry. Galleries, showrooms and art collectors use the same service.

Q: Can you receive furniture for a Stamford or Hartford office, or a hotel?

Yes. When a procurement office orders from many suppliers, each shipment is matched to the list it sent us, held by floor or room, and released in the order the installation needs. Our crew assembles and places workstations and seating, and hotel work goes ahead while guests are still in the building.

Q: What happens if a delivery arrives damaged?

The packaging is photographed as it is unloaded. If it is damaged, you hear from us before the piece is stored and you choose whether it is opened; inspection on request is free. Those photos, filed in Bond, give you evidence to take back to the vendor.

Q: How much does receiving cost in Connecticut?

Each Connecticut job gets its own quote. The price turns on how many vendors are shipping, the size of the pieces, how long they are stored and where they are going, from a Hartford office floor to a Greenwich house. Tell us who is shipping and where it is headed, and we’ll respond within 24 hours.

Shipments being received at an Elite Anywhere warehouse

Receiving, explained for Connecticut homes and offices

A receiving warehouse takes delivery of freight in your name when the address it is meant for cannot. At 38 Boston Post Road in West Haven, each shipment is signed for by appointment, photographed in its packaging, checked against your list and kept in climate-controlled storage until the house, office or hotel floor is ready.

Included with Connecticut receiving

Receiving at an Elite Anywhere warehouse

A loading door vendors can book

Freight carriers want a dock and a set appointment. A backcountry Greenwich drive, a Stamford condo tower or a Hartford office lobby rarely offers either, so the shipment is routed to West Haven instead.

Photos filed in Bond

Each arrival is photographed in its packaging the day it comes off the truck and filed under your project, ready to forward to a client or to the vendor.

Cartons opened when you ask, at no charge

A full inspection, with each piece checked and photographed before it is repacked, is yours on request. Torn or crushed packaging is reported to you first, and you decide whether it is opened.

Unexpected shipments traced

We ask for each vendor’s bill of lading. When a carton turns up that nobody mentioned, which happens roughly two times in ten, the carrier or sender is called to find the project it belongs to.

Storage for humid Sound summers and long winters

Walnut, linen and lacquer wait in secured, climate- and humidity-controlled space, with no minimum period, rather than in an unheated barn in Weston. More on our furniture storage page.

Showroom pickups held with the order

A piece bought on Greenwich Avenue or from a Westport gallery can be collected, its condition recorded at pickup, and stored in West Haven alongside the rest of the project.

Building paperwork before the date

Condo towers at Harbor Point in Stamford and apartment buildings in downtown New Haven may ask for a certificate of insurance before a crew can enter, and we send it ahead of delivery day.

Placed, assembled and cleared

Our own crew protects the route in, carries each piece to its room, assembles it, hangs art and light fixtures where you want them, and leaves with every carton and blanket.

How receiving works at West Haven

Receive

Vendors ship to 38 Boston Post Rd, West Haven, CT 06516, with your name or project on the label, and the carrier books a slot Monday to Friday between 9am and 3pm. Send us your list of what is coming and the bill of lading for each order.

Inspect, Photograph, and Document

Off the truck, the outside packaging is condition-checked against your list; damage is reported before storage, and cartons are opened for a full inspection whenever you ask. Photos go into Bond under your project; your login shows arrivals, what is in transit, and lets you message the warehousing team.

Store

The order is kept together in climate-controlled space while a Darien kitchen waits on its stone or a Guilford summer house stays closed until spring. Visit whenever you like, or ask for new photos.

Deliver and install

On your date, our own crew loads the order in West Haven and you can track it live. A text comes about 30 minutes before arrival; the route in is covered, each piece is placed and assembled, and the packaging leaves with the crew.
