What happens when a shipment lands.
Receive
Vendors address freight to 1416 Gentry St, North Kansas City, MO 64116, and each delivery is booked by appointment, Monday to Friday, 9am to 3pm. Send us your list and the bill of lading first.
Inspect, Photograph, and Document
Every crate and carton is condition-checked against your list; a crushed corner is reported before storage, and any order is inspected on request. Each delivery's photos are filed in Terminal under your project, where your login shows what has arrived in North Kansas City and what is coming.
Store
Pieces wait in secured, climate-controlled space, grouped by project, while a Brookside kitchen is finished or an Overland Park office fit-out runs past its date.
Deliver and install
On your date, our own crew loads the whole order in North Kansas City, texts about 30 minutes out and protects the route in, then places and assembles each piece and leaves with the packaging. Live tracking shows you where it is.
See what arrived, without calling.
Every piece is listed in Terminal with its vendor, sidemark, arrival photos and status, so you, your client or the install lead can check the order from anywhere.

What a receiving warehouse does for a Kansas City project
A receiving warehouse accepts deliveries on your behalf, so a freight truck goes to a dock rather than a house mid-renovation or an office still being fitted out. At Gentry Street, each shipment is photographed in its packaging, checked against the list you sent us and stored in climate-controlled space. When the site is ready, everything goes out together.
What we receive
- Upholstery, case goods and dining sets
- Lighting, mirrors and framed art
- Rugs, outdoor furniture and accessories
- FF&E for hotels, offices and showrooms
How it arrives
- Single cartons through to crated, palletized freight
- Oversized pieces that need a dock, not a doorstep
- Custom and one-of-a-kind pieces that cannot be reordered
- Multi-vendor orders that land weeks apart
