Delivery for Dealers, Artists & Artisans
Birmingham-based. Serving the Southeast.
Your delivery department — without owning the trucks.
Slohaven Transfer delivers antiques, original artwork, and handmade furniture from your showroom, gallery, or workshop to your customer. We coordinate pickup and delivery, protect the piece, and communicate directly—with careful handling and respect for the customer’s home.
Your reputation arrives with every piece.
We represent your business with careful handling, clear communication, and respect for your customer’s home. Each piece is padded, secured in enclosed transport, and thoughtfully placed—so the delivery reflects the care behind the sale.

Frequently asked questions
Can you quote delivery before my customer completes the purchase?
Yes. Send the item photograph, approximate dimensions, pickup location, destination ZIP code, and desired placement. A street address is not required for the initial quote.
Can you communicate directly with my customer?
Yes. Once the delivery is approved, Slohaven can coordinate timing and access directly with the customer while keeping the dealer informed.
Can you combine several dealer deliveries on one route?
Yes, when timing, space, geography, and handling requirements align. Consolidated routing can create better scheduling and economics without reducing the protection given to each piece.
Do you deliver antiques across state lines?
Yes. Slohaven maintains active interstate property authority and evaluates regional and long-distance projects individually.
Do you provide full household moves?
No. Slohaven specializes in selected furniture, antiques, artwork, architectural pieces, and other specialty items.
