What We Ship

Key Takeaway: Pak Mail Santa Fe ships furniture of any size, weight, or shape, including items most carriers won’t accept, like pianos, pool tables, and oversized antiques.

Pak Mail Santa Fe provides a furniture packing service for individual pieces as well as larger shipments. Common items include:

Sofas, sectionals, and upholstered furniture
Dining tables, desks, and conference tables
Bedroom sets, including beds, dressers, nightstands, and headboards
Pianos, organs, and other heavy musical instruments
Pool tables and game room furniture
Appliances and home electronics
Antique furniture, heirlooms, and estate pieces
Office furniture and commercial fixtures

Packing is matched to the item rather than using one approach for every shipment. This is particularly important for antique furniture shipping and oversized pieces that may require additional support or protection.

How We Protect Your Furniture

Key Takeaway: Pak Mail Santa Fe matches the protection method to the piece: blanket wrapping for finished surfaces, custom crating for fragile or high-value items, and white glove handling for professional care from pickup through delivery.

A blanket wrap service, also called pad wrap, uses thick quilted moving blankets to protect furniture during transit. Blanket wrap shipping works well for sturdy wood furniture, upholstered pieces, tables, and cabinets that need protection from scratches, dents, and abrasion. Because blanket wrapping requires less packaging than crating, it can reduce costs when a full crate is unnecessary.

More fragile pieces may require custom crating. Pak Mail Santa Fe builds crates to the dimensions and fragility of each piece, with foam supports, internal bracing, and reinforced construction to limit movement. This can be appropriate for antiques, carved furniture, glass-front cabinets, and one-of-a-kind pieces. Similar techniques are used for art and sculpture shipping.

White glove furniture shipping is a premium service that includes professional handling, pickup, packing, transportation, and coordinated delivery for items that require extra care. Pak Mail Santa Fe can arrange pickup from a home, gallery, or estate sale venue and pack the piece using the appropriate method.

Furniture can face shock, vibration, mishandling, and environmental changes in transit. The National Park Service Museum Handbook identifies these as considerations when packing and shipping collection objects.

Antiques, Heirlooms, and Estate Pieces

Key Takeaway: Pak Mail Santa Fe ships antique furniture, estate pieces, and gallery purchases for customers in the Santa Fe area, with declared-value coverage options and professional handling from pickup to delivery.

Santa Fe visitors, collectors, and residents often need to ship furniture purchased from Canyon Road galleries, local art markets, or estate sales. Pak Mail Santa Fe assesses each antique individually and can recommend blanket wrapping, custom crating, or a combination of protection methods based on the piece. White glove furniture shipping is also available for pieces that require coordinated handling from pickup through delivery.

Customers shipping valuable furniture can declare a value for their shipment and ask about available coverage options. Coverage terms vary by shipment.

Santa Fe’s high-altitude, low-humidity climate is another consideration when shipping wooden furniture to a different environment. Changes in relative humidity can cause wood to expand or contract, according to the Canadian Conservation Institute. For more detail, read Pak Mail Santa Fe’s guide to shipping furniture.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to ship furniture from Santa Fe?

Furniture shipping costs depend on the size and weight of the piece, its destination, and the type of packing and transportation it requires. Local, cross-country, and international shipments have different transportation requirements, which can affect the final price. A sturdy piece that can be blanket wrapped has different requirements than a fragile antique that needs a custom crate. Pak Mail Santa Fe provides free estimates for its furniture shipping service based on each individual shipment. You can request a furniture shipping quote for an estimate.

Can I ship just one piece of furniture?

Yes. Pak Mail Santa Fe regularly helps customers pack and ship furniture one piece at a time. Unlike moving companies that may have minimums or focus on full household moves, Pak Mail Santa Fe handles single-piece shipments. This can include furniture purchased at a Santa Fe gallery or estate sale, inherited pieces going to family members, or items purchased while traveling.

Do you pick up furniture in Santa Fe?

Yes. Pak Mail Santa Fe offers furniture pickup within the Santa Fe metro area and can collect shipments from homes, businesses, galleries, and event venues. Items can then be packed and prepared for shipment using the appropriate protection method. Pickup availability and scheduling depend on the shipment, so confirm these details when requesting a quote. Call 505-989-7380 to discuss the item and pickup location.

What is blanket wrapping and when should I use it?

Blanket wrapping, also called pad wrapping, uses thick quilted moving blankets to cushion furniture and protect finished surfaces during transit without the cost of building a custom crate. A blanket wrap service works well for sturdy wood furniture, upholstered pieces, tables, and cabinets that need protection against scratches and dents. Fragile antiques, carved furniture, or pieces with glass components may need custom crating instead. Pak Mail Santa Fe recommends a packing method based on the individual piece.
