Furniture & large-item delivery with a truck and driver
BoxHauls · Reviewed by John Marcus IV
Furniture delivery with BoxHauls means a local driver with a pickup truck picks up your couch, table, dresser or other large item and brings it to you. It works in Fresno and Clovis. The price is $17.00 plus $3.10 a mile, shown before you book, with no minimum.
Who uses it
- Store buyers. You bought it in the store, and it doesn’t fit in your car. Store pickup and delivery covers Costco, Living Spaces, Home Depot, Lowe’s and more.
- Marketplace buyers. You found it on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist or OfferUp. See Marketplace pickup with a truck.
- One-item moves. A couch to a new apartment, a dresser to a relative’s house. See single-item delivery.
What’s included
- A driver with a pickup truck
- Loading, strapping and unloading
- Moving blankets and straps to protect the item in an open bed
- Insurance by Hiscox Inc. ($10,000 cargo / $1M liability)
- [TODO: whether drivers bring items inside, and how far]
Not included: assembly, and anything on the list of what BoxHauls can’t move.
Wrapping and protection
An open truck bed means wind, dust and the occasional Fresno summer dust storm. Drivers wrap upholstered furniture and wood finishes in moving blankets and strap every piece so it can’t shift. Bag mattresses before pickup; see mattress delivery.

Questions
How much does furniture delivery cost in Fresno?
With BoxHauls it's $17.00 plus $3.10 a mile: $48.00 for a 10-mile trip. Sleeper sofas and sectionals add the $29 heavy-item fee, and a helper adds $17.
Is there a minimum order?
No. One chair costs the same formula as a full load, with no minimum fare. That's why single-item delivery works.
Can you pick up from a store for me?
Yes. A driver can pick up from stores like Costco, Living Spaces, Home Depot and Lowe's. [TODO: whether the customer must be present or authorize the pickup with the store]
Do drivers wrap furniture?
Drivers bring moving blankets and straps to protect and secure items in an open truck bed. Mattresses should be bagged before pickup.
Will the driver carry it inside?
[TODO: confirm whether drivers bring items inside and how far (for example, to the first room)]
Can I get same-day furniture delivery?
You can request a pickup as soon as possible, or schedule a date up to 14 days ahead in a two-hour window. BoxHauls contacts you to confirm the trip.
