What a receiving warehouse does

A receiving warehouse accepts deliveries on your behalf, so nothing arrives at a site that is not ready. At our Long Island City warehouse, each item is checked against your order, photographed, logged and stored. When the room is finished, everything is delivered and installed in one visit.

What’s included in receiving

Delivery acceptance — Carriers book into the Review Avenue dock, so nothing is turned away at a closed site or left with a doorman.

Inspection on arrival — Every item is opened and checked against your purchase order while the vendor can still be held to it.

Photo condition records — Each piece is photographed when it lands, and the images are yours to share with your client.

Climate-controlled storage — Goods are held in conditioned space for as long as a renovation or a co-op board approval takes.

Consolidation — Orders from several makers are grouped by project and released together as a single delivery.

Building coordination — Certificates of insurance, freight elevator bookings and loading windows are arranged before the truck leaves Queens.

Delivery and installation — Pieces are carried in, placed, assembled and leveled, and every scrap of packaging goes back with the crew.

“What a great delivery service! The two guys that delivered our table were so lovely. They worked fast, cleaned up after themselves and smiled the whole time (even after carrying the goods up 3 flights of stairs). We were so impressed!”

Frequently asked questions

Receiving in New York: common questions

Where is your receiving warehouse for New York?
In Long Island City, Queens, at 38-20 Review Ave, NY 11101. It is a staffed Elite Anywhere warehouse, not a partner site. Deliveries into Manhattan and Brooklyn go out from there, and carriers book weekday slots between 9am and 3pm.
What does a receiving company do?
It takes delivery of your goods so you do not have to. We accept each shipment, check it against the order, photograph it, store it, and deliver everything together once the space is ready. You deal with one company instead of every carrier on the order.
Can you receive furniture from several vendors and deliver it together?
Yes. Orders from different makers arrive over weeks or months, and each is logged to your project as it lands. When you confirm the site is ready, the whole order comes over in one trip, which means one elevator booking and one day of disruption for the building.
Do you offer receiving for interior designers in New York?
Yes, and it is a core part of the service. Trade orders are received under the project name, the arrival photos can go straight to your client, and the install is scheduled around your walkthrough rather than the vendor’s ship date.
Can you handle the certificate of insurance my building requires?
Yes. Manhattan co-ops, condos and commercial buildings usually require a certificate of insurance naming specific entities before a crew can enter, and we provide one on request. Send the building’s requirements when you book so the paperwork is approved before the delivery date.
How is storage billed?
By the space your goods take up and how long they stay. Renovations and board approvals often run late, so holding a piece a few extra weeks is usually cheaper than delivering it into an unfinished room.
