Delivery can often be the most frustrating and least predictable part of the FF&E process — especially when hoteliers have to
deal with unexpected costs, damage, and delays.
We solve those logistical issues by owning and operating a fleet of delivery vehicles that currently includes six sleeper truck
cabs, more than 50 trailers, and more than 40 vans.
We also have a 65,000 square foot secured warehouse in Memphis where we consolidate products from manufacturers in preparation
for shipment to hotel sites.
Transportation charges usually run 10 - 15% of an FF&E purchase depending on various geographic factors, but there's also the
"hidden cost" of handling damage.
That's why when we shop for products, we consider proximity of the factory to your job site.
For example, we don't purchase from a manufacturer on the east coast for a job site in California because that will cost you unnecessary
shipping dollars — and longer trips can cause more shipping damage.

On A Roll
We operate our own fleet of delivery vehicles, which reduces transportation costs and problems for hoteliers.

Since we don't use LTL shippers, you benefit in several important ways: we reduce both the actual costs and the amount of handling, and we also arrange delivery to the job site exactly when the product is needed for installation.
If the product arrives too early, there's an increased risk of damage as it's shuffled around the construction site awaiting installation. If the product arrives too late, there's a domino effect that delays other aspects of the project.
