Furniture Shipping to Houston, TX
Flat-rate freight from our Santa Fe Springs warehouse starts at $394 per pallet, delivered to Houston in 5 business days.
If you're furnishing a home in Houston, this is the short version: we buy overstock furniture by the truckload from major retailers, warehouse it in Santa Fe Springs, and ship it to the Texas metro by Warp LTL freight. Same brands Houston buys at retail prices.
Houston sits about 1,550 miles from our warehouse — a 23-hour haul the freight carrier handles, not you. You pick up in person if you're in Los Angeles; you get flat-rate freight if you're in Houston. The pricing is transparent either way. Oversized items (large sectionals, gazebos taller than standard pallets) get a custom freight quote from our team before you pay.
Freight to Houston defaults to curbside delivery with liftgate included. One upgrade is available at checkout: two-man inside delivery (white-glove), where a 2-person crew brings your items to the room of your choice, for a flat $300.

How freight delivery works
Curbside + liftgate
Standard freight is curbside with liftgate: the driver lowers the pallet to your driveway or curb. Moving it inside is up to you unless you add inside delivery.
Two-man inside delivery (white-glove)
A 2-person crew brings your items inside your home, to the room of your choice — not just the curb. One flat $300 per order. Assembly isn't included.

Shipping to Houston — FAQ
Does Francis Retail ship to Houston?
Yes. Houston is on our Warp freight lane. We ship furniture, appliances, outdoor structures, and large home goods from our Santa Fe Springs, California warehouse to the Houston metro at flat-rate freight pricing. The lane covers Houston and nearby areas including Sugar Land, Pearland, The Woodlands.
How long does shipping from Los Angeles to Houston take?
Warp's current transit estimate for the Houston lane is 5 business days after pickup from our warehouse, plus 1-2 days handling to prep the pallet. Expect a scheduling call from the carrier 24-48 hours before delivery so you can pick a 4-hour window.
What if my furniture arrives damaged in Houston?
Inspect every piece before signing the Bill of Lading (BOL). If you see any visible damage, write it on the BOL before the driver leaves — that's critical for our claim against the carrier. Photograph the freight, packaging, and pallet, email photos + your order number to [email protected] within 48 hours, and keep all packaging until the claim is closed. We resolve verified damage at no cost to you — replacement parts, repair, a replacement unit, partial credit, or a return with refund, at our election.
Does Francis Retail charge Texas sales tax on Houston orders?
We do not currently charge Texas sales tax — use tax may apply per TX law.
Can I pick up at a Houston terminal instead of having it delivered?
Sometimes yes — several of our freight lanes support pickup at the carrier's Houston terminal, which can save the residential delivery surcharge. Mention it when you email or call us before placing your order and we'll confirm whether terminal pickup is available for your specific item.
Why ship furniture 1,550 miles from Los Angeles instead of buying in Houston?
Because our liquidation pricing — 40-80% off retail on brand-new and open-box items from Costco, Amazon, and Signature Hardware — makes the flat-rate freight math work even over 1,550 miles. A $2,500 retail sectional priced at $900 here, plus flat-rate freight to Houston, is still hundreds less than buying that same sectional at local retail.
