From winning bid to final placement

Auction purchases often involve firm pickup deadlines, limited loading windows, condition concerns, and coordination with a facility that may not know the buyer personally. Slohaven works directly with the appropriate auction representative to confirm the item, pickup requirements, access, timing, and release information before arrival.

Depending on the agreed quote, service may include:

• Pickup-window coordination
• Item and access review before dispatch
• Clean enclosed transport
• Moving blankets and protective wrapping
• Careful loading and securement
• Direct route and delivery communication
• Careful unloading
• Room-of-choice placement when arranged in advance

Buyers remain responsible for completing payment, authorizing release, and confirming any auction-house rules before pickup.

Items we commonly evaluate

• Antique tables, cabinets, chests, chairs, and case pieces
• Fine furniture and designer pieces
• Artwork, mirrors, lamps, and decorative objects
• Architectural salvage and selected oversized pieces
• Estate and private-collection purchases
• Multiple-lot purchases that fit our equipment and handling scope

Send the lot description, auction link or invoice details, photographs, dimensions, estimated weight, pickup deadline, and delivery information. We will tell you plainly if an item requires custom crating, specialized rigging, climate control, or equipment outside our scope.

Real owner-operated coordination

You work directly with the Slovensky family—not a national call center handing the job through a chain of unknown carriers. That matters when pickup instructions change, an auction has a narrow release window, or the delivery location has access limitations.

Slohaven maintains active interstate motor-carrier authority and carries commercial auto, general liability, and cargo insurance. USDOT #4565495 | MC #1815278.

Birmingham auction delivery across the Southeast

Slohaven is based in Birmingham and can coordinate qualified pickups throughout Alabama and on regional or interstate routes. Pricing depends on the item, distance, schedule, pickup deadline, access, labor, protection requirements, and whether the trip can be combined efficiently with other routed work.

Our recent deliveries include real auction purchases, antique furniture, architectural pieces, and irreplaceable collections. See our dedicated antique furniture transport page for additional handling details.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be present at the auction house?

Usually not, provided the auction house has valid release authorization and agrees to the pickup arrangement. Someone authorized should normally be available at delivery.

Can you meet an auction pickup deadline?

Often, but availability depends on the route and schedule. Send the deadline immediately so we can determine whether it is realistic before you book.

Can you pick up multiple lots?

Yes, when the combined dimensions, weight, protection needs, and loading requirements fit our equipment and approved scope.

Do you provide interstate auction delivery?

Yes. Interstate projects are quoted individually according to route, timing, equipment fit, access, labor, and handling requirements.
