San Francisco Dining Freight — Flat-Rate from LA

Three things: (1) measure your doorways, stairs, and access route — dining ships palletized, not flat-packed, and confirming fit and access is the buyer's responsibility; (2) be home for the delivery window (4 hours, scheduled 24-48 hours out); and (3) inspect every piece before signing the BOL, write any damage on it, photograph everything, and keep the packaging. That last one is the single biggest difference between a smooth San Francisco delivery and a slow damage claim.

Plan on about 2 weeks from order placement to a scheduled delivery window at your San Francisco address: 1-2 business days of warehouse handling, 380 miles of LTL freight transit (typically 3-8 business days), plus a carrier-scheduled appointment window. If you need dining by a specific date, call us before ordering.

Inside delivery (pallet crossed into first dry area past your front door) adds a flat $125 on most San Francisco lanes. White-glove with unpack, room-of-choice placement, and basic assembly adds $250. Both are visible toggles at checkout for dining orders — pick whichever matches how you want the pallet handled at your CA address.

Yes — our San Francisco freight lane covers the broader metro, including Oakland, Berkeley, Daly City, San Mateo. The flat-rate pricing on this page applies across the catchment area. Enter your actual CA delivery zip at checkout and the system will confirm lane eligibility and final rate for your dining order.

Our dining is often literally Amazon's inventory — overstock and returned-pallet liquidation from the same warehouses that stock Amazon. We skip Amazon's retail markup and the fulfillment fees baked into their price, then ship direct from Santa Fe Springs to San Francisco. Same product, same condition grade, typically 40-80% less even after 380 miles of freight.

Yes — residential dining freight to San Francisco 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.
