Portland's Preferred Receiving Warehouse for Designers
Case goods for a Portland Heights house or a Lake Oswego remodel ship first to our Portland receiving warehouse and wait indoors until our crew brings them in.
What a receiving warehouse does for a Portland project
A receiving warehouse is a dock that signs for your freight when the house cannot. For Portland, carriers bring orders to NE 158th Avenue in east Portland, where each one is photographed, condition-checked and logged under your project, then stored climate-controlled until our crew delivers it to the room.
What’s included at NE 158th Avenue

How receiving works on NE 158th
Receive
Give each vendor 5107 NE 158th Ave, Portland, OR 97230 and your project name. Carriers book a slot Monday to Friday between 9am and 3pm, and you send us your list along with the bill of lading.
Inspect, Photograph, and Document
Packaging is condition-checked against your list as the shipment lands; damage is reported before shelving, and cartons are opened for inspection when you ask. Each arrival is photographed and logged in Bond, so your login shows a Central Eastside maker's table has landed before you confirm a date.
Store
Pieces stay together in secured, climate-controlled space while an Irvington kitchen is finished or a new build in Happy Valley waits on its final inspection. Ask for fresh photos at any time.
Deliver and install
On the date you choose, our own crew loads the order, texts you about 30 minutes ahead, and protects the floors and stairs before carrying anything in. Every piece is placed and assembled, and the packaging goes back on the truck.

| Who signs for the freight | Our NE 158th team, under your project | Nobody unless you meet the truck | Dock staff, booked in as inventory |
| Proof of what arrived | Packaging photographed, checked against your list | Whatever you notice yourself | A scan or a carton count |
