San Francisco Open Box Freight — Flat-Rate from LA

Extreme weather in California — winter storms, summer heat, hurricane season along the Gulf — can add 1-3 days to the 380 miles transit. Warp routes around closures when possible. The open box itself ships palletized and shrink-wrapped; climate-sensitive items (mattresses, electronics) stay in sealed packaging until delivery.

Yes — residential open box 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.

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 open box orders — pick whichever matches how you want the pallet handled at your CA address.

Our open box 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.

Pickup from our 380 miles-away Santa Fe Springs warehouse, LTL freight transit on Warp's San Francisco lane, curbside delivery with liftgate, and carrier scheduling. Optional add-ons (inside delivery, white-glove unpack and assemble) are visible line items at checkout — they don't hide inside the base rate.

Varies by item — boxed open-box sofas typically take 30-90 minutes with basic tools, larger pieces 2-4 hours. If you'd rather skip assembly entirely, add the white-glove upgrade at checkout and the San Francisco crew handles unpacking, placement, and basic assembly as part of the delivery.
