The High Point Furniture Market Fall edition is now starting to receive inbound shipments to various show rooms in High Point, NC. The High Point Furniture Market is where furniture makers from many parts of the world show off their new lines of furniture. Due to the volume of furniture makers and the amount of inbound furniture into the High Point area, delays to drivers have begun. Drivers are instructed to go to holding lots and wait until being called. Due to having to wait in holding lots, we lose valuable time and also have experienced returns due to not being able to get to the docks before they close for the day.
To provide a better service for all of our customers, we will use a local delivery company that concentrates on the High Point Furniture deliveries. The day we receive a Furniture Market shipment in Greensboro we will seek additional charges. When we receive written authorization, we will turn the freight over to Central Warehouse in Archdale, NC. Central Warehouse will handle the delivery to the Furniture Market. Most deliveries to the Furniture Market will deliver the next business day after Central Warehouse receives the freight from Wilson Trucking.
Central Warehouse charges per pallet rates which we will add to the charges of the freight bill. The rates that Central Warehouse charge will be less costly to the customers than detention charges and/or redelivery charges. The charge is per pallet rate per shipment which is shown below. This charge is in addition to the original freight charges on the shipment.
Central Warehouse LTL rates for Furniture Market are as follows:
Number of Pallets Rate
1 – 4 $150.00
5 – 6 $200.00
7 – 9 $250.00
10 & over $340.00
These charges will be added to freight charges upon authorization from the shipper.
