What happens when a shipment lands.
Receive
Vendors ship to 9725 47th Ave SW, Bldg #20 Ste A, Lakewood, WA 98499, with your name or project on the label. Carriers book a weekday slot between 9am and 3pm. Send us your list and each bill of lading so we know what actually left the vendor.
Inspect, Photograph, and Document
As freight is unloaded, the outside packaging is condition-checked against your list; a wet or crushed carton is reported before storage, and a full inspection happens whenever you ask. The arrival photos go into Terminal, where your login shows what has landed in Lakewood and what is in transit.
Store
Everything waits in secured, climate-controlled space with humidity control while a Madrona remodel runs late or a Sammamish new build waits for its occupancy permit. Visit the pieces, or ask for fresh photos, whenever you like.
Deliver and install
On your date, our own crew loads the order at Lakewood and takes it to Seattle, the Eastside or the South Sound, with live tracking and a text about 30 minutes out. Floors and railings are covered first; each piece is placed and assembled, and the packaging leaves with the crew.
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.

Receiving warehouse, explained for Puget Sound projects
A receiving warehouse is a commercial dock that signs for freight in your place, so a truck never has to find a house that is still under construction. For the Seattle area, Elite Anywhere receives at 9725 47th Ave SW in Lakewood: each delivery is photographed in its packaging, logged under your project and stored in climate-controlled space.
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
Who uses receiving in Seattle.
The dock work is the same for every buyer, but what arrives and what it waits for change from one trade to the next, so each industry below has its own page.

Trade orders ship to our dock, not the client’s house, and wait there for install day.
