A design project's success is judged on install day. The months of sourcing, the vendor coordination, the freight management: all of it exists to support one moment when the client walks into a finished room. Designer receiving makes that possible by taking the logistics off your plate from the first shipment to the final placement.
The Pacific Design Center, the showrooms along Melrose and Beverly Boulevard, and the project pipeline running through Bel Air, Brentwood, Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades, and Malibu generate a constant flow of high-value residential and commercial projects. Each project involves multiple vendors, multiple freight shipments, and a single install date. Without a receiving warehouse in the middle, freight arrives at a job site that is not ready for it, damage goes undocumented, and the install day becomes a coordination crisis rather than a finished room.

Every shipment inspected on receipt and documented before the carrier leaves. Items held in secured storage through the project timeline.

Vendors ship to our commercial receiving dock using your project address. We accept freight carriers, LTL shipments, and white-glove carrier deliveries. Your client's address is never used as a freight receiving location during the project. Shipments are signed for and the bill of lading reviewed before the carrier departs.
Every item is inspected upon receipt and before the carrier leaves the dock. Damage, defects, and discrepancies from the purchase order are photographed and noted on the bill of lading. Damage claims filed while the carrier is still present are the only claims that are readily recoverable. Items with unresolved issues are held separately pending vendor resolution.
Each received item is tagged and logged against your project inventory list. Condition photos, vendor details, and purchase order references are recorded. You have a current inventory at any point during the project, visible without calling us. When a shipment arrives, you are notified. When a discrepancy is found, you are notified immediately with photos.
Items are held in secured storage from the day they arrive until install day, regardless of the project timeline. Furniture, art, lighting, rugs, textiles, and specialty pieces all stored with care. Nothing sits in an unmonitored warehouse or an open staging area. Storage extends without penalty if the project timeline shifts.
The install day is planned against your room-by-room layout. Items are staged at the warehouse in delivery sequence so the day runs in order. At the project, everything is brought in, unwrapped, placed exactly where specified, and positioned for final dressing. We work alongside the design team, not independently of it.
All packaging, crating, cardboard, and protective wrap is removed from the premises on install day. The client's home is not left with piles of shipping material after the delivery. Packaging haul-away is part of the service, not a separate line item to negotiate. The property is left clean when the crew departs.
Designer receiving is a service relationship that spans the full project procurement timeline, from the first vendor shipment to the moment your client walks into the finished space.
You share your project inventory, vendor list, and install date. We set up the project in our system and give you a receiving address to provide to vendors. Pricing confirmed at this stage.
As shipments arrive, each is received, inspected, and cataloged. Damage noted on the bill of lading before the carrier leaves. You are notified of arrivals and flagged on any issues, with photos, before the carrier is released.
Items held in secured storage for the project duration. As install day approaches, everything is staged in delivery sequence by room so the day moves efficiently without reorganizing at the project site.
Everything delivered and placed in one visit. Items unwrapped and positioned to your specification. Packaging removed and hauled away. The space is finished and clean when the crew leaves.

For clients relocating while their primary residence is being renovated and designed, needing moving services running alongside the design project timeline.
For commercial design projects including hotels, restaurants, and office interiors where the install is at a business location with commercial access and coordination requirements.
Our designer receiving crews accept, inspect, and deliver furniture and decor from vendors and showrooms across Los Angeles County, from the Pacific Design Center and the Westside to Pasadena, the Valley, and the South Bay.
When freight goes directly to the project, damage goes unnoticed until the carrier is gone, shipments arrive at a job site that is not ready for them, and the install day becomes a logistics scramble rather than a finished reveal.
Share your project inventory, vendor list, and install date. We set up the project, provide a receiving address for your vendors, and manage the full logistics chain through to install day.
When your project is set up, you receive our commercial receiving address to provide to all vendors shipping to your project. Vendors ship directly to our dock using your project name and a project reference number we assign at setup. Your client’s address is not used as a shipping destination at any stage. Carriers with dock requirements and freight shipments that would be inappropriate at a residential address all route to us instead.
