The Go-To Receiving Warehouse in Indianapolis for Vendors

Q: Where is your receiving warehouse in Indianapolis?

At 8460 Bearing Dr. Ste. 400, Indianapolis, IN 46268, on the northwest side. Trucks are booked in on weekdays, 9am to 3pm, by appointment only. Call (463) 307-0073 or email ind@eliteanywhere.com before the first shipment leaves, and our own crew delivers from there to your address.

Q: Can I have furniture delivered to a storage unit instead?

You can, but most self-storage sites have no one on hand to sign for a freight truck, look over the packaging or carry a sofa inside, so the delivery waits on you. Shipped to Bearing Drive, each piece is signed for, photographed and kept in climate-controlled furniture storage until the room is ready.

Q: Do you receive for interior designers in Carmel and Zionsville?

Yes. Trade orders arrive under your project name, each one is photographed and logged, and the install is booked for the week the client’s room is finished rather than the week a vendor ships. Galleries, showrooms, hotels and art collectors use the same address. More on our interior designer page.

Q: Do you handle the final-mile delivery from the warehouse?

Yes, with our own crew rather than a hired carrier. They take the order from Bearing Drive to the house, store or office, protect the route in, place and assemble each piece and remove the packaging. You get a text about 30 minutes ahead and live tracking on the day. The receiving process is the same at every location.

Q: Is this the same as the distribution warehouses in Plainfield and Whitestown?

No. Those buildings move parcels and pallets for retailers and online brands at volume. A receiving warehouse takes in finished furniture and project orders bound for one home, store or hotel, records their condition, and delivers them into the room. Elite Anywhere also offers pick-and-pack, distribution and outbound shipping if you need both.

Q: How much does receiving cost in Indianapolis?

Every job is quoted individually. The quote depends on how many vendors are shipping, the size of the pieces, how long they are stored and where they end up, from a Butler-Tarkington house to a Noblesville storefront. Send your vendor list and the delivery address, and we’ll respond within 24 hours.

Furniture for a Carmel new build or a Meridian-Kessler bungalow ships to our Indianapolis receiving warehouse and is held until our crew carries it in.

Shipments being received at an Elite Anywhere warehouse

What a receiving warehouse does in central Indiana

A receiving warehouse is a commercial dock that accepts freight in your name. For Indianapolis it is 8460 Bearing Dr. Ste. 400, Indianapolis, IN 46268. Carriers deliver by appointment, every arrival is photographed and its packaging condition-checked, and the order waits in climate-controlled storage until the house, store or office can take it.

What you get at the Bearing Drive dock

Receiving at an Elite Anywhere warehouse

A dock freight lines will book

Many furniture makers and LTL carriers deliver only to a business with a loading dock and posted hours. Bearing Drive takes weekday appointments from 9am to 3pm, so nobody has to wait at a Zionsville house for a truck.

Photos on the day it lands

Each delivery is photographed in its packaging as it comes in and filed in Bond under your project, where your client login shows it.

Inspection whenever you request it

Cartons are opened and every piece checked at your request, at no charge. Torn or crushed packaging is reported to you before storage, and you decide what happens next.

Unlisted cartons traced

Roughly two deliveries in ten show up with no notice. When one does, the carrier or the sender is called to find which project it belongs to, and we ask you for the bill of lading on everything you expect.

Storage through Indiana winters and summers

Wood, leather and upholstery are held in climate-controlled space with humidity control, not in a Fishers garage through a January freeze or a sticky August. See furniture storage; there is no minimum period.

Several vendors, one delivery day

A sofa from one maker, lamps from a second and a rug from a third are held together under your project and leave on the same truck. Interior designers can run several client projects through one address.

Building paperwork, placement and cleanup

Downtown condo buildings and offices around Keystone at the Crossing often want a certificate of insurance before a crew comes in, and it is sent ahead of the date. The crew places and assembles each piece and leaves with the packaging.

How receiving works on Bearing Drive

Receive

Vendors address freight to 8460 Bearing Dr. Ste. 400, Indianapolis, IN 46268 with your name or project on the label, and each truck is booked in Monday to Friday between 9am and 3pm. Send us your list of what is coming before the first one leaves.

Inspect, Photograph, and Document

Packaging is condition-checked against your list as the truck is unloaded; a dented crate is reported before storage, and any order gets a full inspection when you ask. Every arrival's photos go into Bond, and your login shows what has landed and what is on the road.

Store

The order waits in secured, climate-controlled space, grouped by project, while a Broad Ripple kitchen is finished or a Westfield closing date moves back a month.

Deliver and install

On the date you set, our own crew loads the full order on the northwest side, texts about 30 minutes before arrival, and covers floors, doors and stair rails on the way in. You can follow the truck on live tracking, and once each piece is placed and assembled, the crew takes the cartons and wrapping away.
