Antique Dealer Delivery Across the Southeast

Your delivery department — without owning the trucks.

Slohaven Transfer provides professional dealer-to-customer delivery for antique stores, galleries, auction houses, importers, and furniture dealers. We coordinate the pickup, protect the piece, communicate with the customer, and complete the delivery professionally.

Your reputation rides with every piece

Delivery is the final part of the sale. Slohaven represents your business with careful handling, clean enclosed equipment, clear communication, and respect for your customer’s home.

We help dealers serve customers beyond their local market without maintaining another truck, hiring a driver, or handing valuable merchandise to an unknown carrier.

One message gets it moving

  1. Send a photo, approximate dimensions, pickup location, destination ZIP code, and desired service.
  2. Slohaven provides a clear delivery quote.
  3. Once approved, we coordinate the schedule with the dealer and customer.
  4. We document, protect, secure, transport, and deliver the piece.
  5. Proof of delivery and project photographs are provided when requested.

Dealer delivery services

Depending on the piece and destination, service may include:

  • Scheduled dealer or warehouse pickup
  • Condition and pickup photographs
  • Moving blankets and protective wrapping
  • Clean enclosed transportation
  • Careful loading, securement, and unloading
  • Direct customer scheduling and communication
  • Room-of-choice placement when arranged in advance
  • Delivery photographs and proof of delivery
  • Regional and interstate transport
  • Consolidated or route-based delivery when schedules and space align

We communicate honestly when a piece requires custom crating, specialized rigging, additional labor, or another service outside the agreed scope.

Built for recurring dealer relationships

Slohaven can work with the dealer directly or coordinate with the purchasing customer under an agreed process. Recurring relationships can be organized around:

  • Regular pickup locations
  • Typical inventory and handling requirements
  • Preferred delivery territory
  • Quoting and approval procedures
  • Customer communication standards
  • Placement and access requirements
  • Route consolidation opportunities

The goal is simple: a dependable delivery partner your staff can call repeatedly—not a different unknown carrier for every sale.

Helping dealers sell beyond the showroom

Delivery uncertainty can stall a distant buyer. A prompt, usable transport quote helps the dealer answer the customer, complete the sale, and reach buyers throughout the Southeast and beyond.

No terminals. No transfers. Direct accountability from pickup through delivery.

Owner-operated accountability

You work directly with the Slovensky family rather than a call center or a chain of unknown subcontractors. That creates clearer scheduling, faster answers, and direct responsibility throughout the project.

Slohaven Transfer maintains active interstate operating authority as a motor carrier of property.

Real work, not stock promises

Our Recent Deliveries page documents actual Slohaven projects and the protection used in transit. Dealer delivery photographs and case studies show the pieces at pickup, properly protected, secured inside our equipment, and delivered.

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.

Dealer Delivery in Action

French Door Antiques — Venetian Lanterns

Mountain Brook, Alabama → Richmond, Virginia

Slohaven transported a pair of 18th-century Venetian lanterns from French Door Antiques to Richmond, Virginia. The lanterns were bubble-wrapped, blanket-protected, and secured inside our enclosed trailer for interstate transport.

For antique dealers, the delivery is part of the customer experience. We bring careful handling and direct communication to the journey—protecting the piece, the customer relationship, and the dealer’s reputation.
