The Importance of Preparation
Shipping a safe involves more than just scheduling a pickup. It requires careful planning and preparation to overcome logistical challenges and ensure a smooth experience. At FreightCenter, we understand the complexities involved in moving heavy items like safes, so we emphasize the importance of readiness from start to finish.
Understanding Curbside Pickup and Drop-Off
Curbside pickup and drop-off is a standard service offered by FreightCenter for shipping safes. This service involves the safe being picked up and dropped off at the curb of the specified addresses, whether a residential home, office building, or another location. Before it is picked up, be sure to have the safe properly packaged. Coordinate with FreightCenter and your carrier for proper packaging. ULINE offers many different packaging options.
Limitations and Considerations :
- No Indoor Service: While FreightCenter does offer curbside pickup, we do not offer inside pickup. However, we do coordinate with White Glove Services, who can help with this! Beyond this, please be sure to have your safe at the curb when pickup occurs.
- Coordination with Carriers: Be sure to be there when the carrier arrives. When they do, be sure to have two copies of the Bill of Lading, and have the driver return a signed copy to you.
Preparing the Safe for Curbside Service
- Location Accessibility: Be sure to coordinate with FreightCenter and your carrier, and learn the best place to have your safe for pickup. Every pickup and delivery location is different, and there are plenty of ways to save money by moving the safe to the most convenient pickup location.
- Weather Considerations: We recommend preparing for weather conditions to protect your shipment during pickup and delivery.

Q. What should I do if my safe is too heavy to move to the curb?
If your safe is too heavy to move alone, consider hiring professional movers specializing in heavy item transportation. FreightCenter can coordinate with movers to ensure your safe is picked up safely and efficiently.
Q. How do I prepare my safe for shipping?
When preparing your safe for shipment, it’s essential to take several steps to ensure its safe transport:
- Measure the dimensions and weight accurately to ensure doorways and transportation equipment compatibility.
- Secure any loose items inside the safe to prevent shifting during transit. Use padding or blankets to protect the exterior from scratches and other damage.
- Lastly, ensure the safe is easily accessible at the curb for pickup and delivery by FreightCenter. These preparations help minimize the risk of damage and ensure a smooth shipping experience.
Q. Are safes covered by insurance during shipment?
Shipping insurance can cover safes, but checking the specifics with the shipping provider or carrier is essential. Many shipping companies offer insurance options for valuable or high-weight items, including safes, and it may be advisable to insure the contents as well as the safe itself.
Q. Can I ship a safe with contents inside?
It’s generally recommended to empty the contents of a safe before shipping to avoid potential damage or issues during transit.
