Why does lighting cost so much in Miami? Because local retail in a metro of 6.1M people (median household income near $50K) can charge what it charges. Francis Retail sells liquidation inventory from our own warehouse and ships it to your FL address on a flat-rate freight lane built for chandeliers and pendant lights.
Florida tax handling on lighting orders: unless we've crossed a nexus threshold in FL, Francis Retail doesn't collect state sales tax at checkout — Florida use tax may apply per state law. The practical upshot: a piece of lighting that lists locally in Miami with tax baked in often costs materially less when you order from us and pay flat-rate freight, even after freight is added. We do the math on the landed-cost table below so you can see exactly what a specific SKU costs delivered to your FL door.

How lighting 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.
Lighting shipping to Miami — FAQ
How long does it take to assemble lighting after it arrives in Miami?
Varies by item — boxed chandeliers typically take 30-90 minutes with basic tools, larger pieces 2-4 hours. Freight delivery doesn't include assembly; the two-man inside delivery add-on ($300) gets it to the room of your choice in Miami, ready for you or a local handyman to assemble.
What if my lighting item is too large for flat-rate freight to Miami?
Oversized lighting — longer than 85 inches in any dimension, heavier than 850 lb, or multi-pallet — gets a custom Warp quote instead of the flat rate. The product page flags this and the checkout flow shows the actual rate for your specific Miami zip before you pay — oversized pieces are priced before payment, not surprise-billed later.
Do you ship lighting to commercial addresses in Miami?
Yes — businesses, offices, and rental properties in Miami can receive lighting freight. Commercial addresses with a loading dock may waive the residential surcharge and speed up transit. Note the commercial address at checkout or in the order notes so the carrier routes appropriately.
What happens if my lighting order needs multiple pallets for the Miami lane?
Multi-pallet lighting shipments to Miami still qualify for flat-rate pricing per pallet as long as each stays inside Warp's 50×50×85 / 850-lb ceiling. Checkout totals the per-pallet rates transparently — you see the exact count and breakdown before confirming the order.
Can I confirm the lighting freight rate to Miami before placing an order?
Yes. The rate on this page is the current flat-rate quote for a representative lighting pallet to the Miami catchment. If your item is oversized or your zip is at the edge of the lane, call (562) 568-8883 or email [email protected] and we'll confirm the exact rate and transit for your specific SKU and FL zip before you check out.
Do I need to be home for a lighting delivery in Miami?
Yes — residential lighting freight to Miami requires someone 18+ present at the delivery address to sign the Bill of Lading. The carrier will call to schedule a 4-hour window so you're not waiting all day. If no one's home during the confirmed window, the carrier's actual reattempt and storage charges apply before redelivery.
