I am in the process of setting up a small furniture making Business and I need to know how do you go about sending coffee tables etc that are not flat- packed. I would imagine that you would bubble-wrap the items and then get a freight company like Fedex to pick them up. Is it that easy? Should I consider putting these type of items in crates. The coffee tables I have made would be sent out lndividually to customers. They are not overly expensive and really not that large. But would Fedex etc accept this type of furniture without being crated.
If it is OK to send just by bubble-wrapping, what is the best way to do this to ensure the items does not get damaged?
I would also be sending out the coffee tables etc to international customers.
Me and my wife had some furniture delivered from the pottery barn a few months ago. We had two nitestands, a big dresser and a head board and they basically put the two nitestands and dresser in big boxes reinforced with plywood strips and lots of stryrofoam, all kinds of it too. And all of our Furniture was delivered flawless. not so much as a smuge. I can sort of see why the delivery charge was kind of steep.
Success in Internet Marketing can be extremely hard to come into, but there is an easy way with really no cash involved and it is by finding a niche and building a eccommere storefront around it.

DHL might be a better shipper for you. That’s what a lot of my Ebay friends use. http://www.dhl.com/splash.html They might let you bubble wrap the tops & legs, or use cardboard boxes with a cardboard insert to keep the box from getting punched in on the underside of the table.
