Furniture Shipping to Raleigh, NC
Flat-rate freight from our Santa Fe Springs warehouse starts at $431 per pallet, delivered to Raleigh in 5 business days.
If you're furnishing a home in Raleigh, 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 North Carolina metro on a dedicated flat-rate freight lane. Same brands Raleigh buys retail for double the price.
Raleigh sits about 2,520 miles from our warehouse — a 37-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 Raleigh. The pricing is transparent either way. Oversized items (large sectionals, gazebos taller than standard pallets) get a custom freight quote at checkout — we'll never surprise you with a "final" number that isn't final.
The carrier calls you 24-48 hours before the delivery window so you can pick a 4-hour slot that works. Curbside is the default across the Raleigh lane; liftgate is included. If the item won't fit through standard doorways or you need it assembled, pick the inside-delivery or white-glove option.

Shipping to Raleigh — FAQ
Does Francis Retail ship to Raleigh?
Yes. Raleigh is on our dedicated Warp freight lane. We ship furniture, appliances, outdoor structures, and large home goods from our Santa Fe Springs, California warehouse to the Raleigh metro at flat-rate freight pricing. The lane covers Raleigh and nearby areas including Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill.
How long does shipping from Los Angeles to Raleigh take?
Typical transit is 3-8 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. The 2,520 miles lane runs direct — no transfers through a central hub.
What if my furniture arrives damaged in Raleigh?
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 North Carolina sales tax on Raleigh orders?
We do not currently charge North Carolina sales tax — use tax may apply per NC law.
Can I pick up at a Raleigh terminal instead of having it delivered?
Sometimes yes — several of our freight lanes support pickup at the carrier's Raleigh 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 2,520 miles from Los Angeles instead of buying in Raleigh?
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 2,520 miles. A $2,500 retail sectional priced at $900 here, plus flat-rate freight to Raleigh, is still hundreds less than buying that same sectional at local retail.
