Shipping Policy
At Center Stage Antiques, we take care to ensure every item—especially our vintage and antique furniture—is delivered safely and efficiently. Because each piece is unique and often large or fragile, most orders are shipped through specialized freight carriers rather than standard parcel services.
General Information
- We ship throughout the continental United States.
- All orders are handled manually and scheduled for shipment once payment is received in full.
- Items are packed or blanket-wrapped with care to preserve their condition during transport.
- Local pickup and delivery options are available for customers near our showroom in Mount Holly, New Jersey.
Freight Shipping (Furniture & Large Items)
- Most furniture and oversized items are shipped via freight carrier.
- Delivery time varies by location and carrier, typically 2–6 weeks from pickup.
- Freight delivery is curbside only unless white-glove service is arranged in advance for an additional fee.
- Buyers must provide accurate delivery details, including:
- Full address
- Phone number for scheduling
- Access notes (stairs, limited entryways, gated communities, etc.)
- The carrier will contact you to schedule delivery and confirm availability.
- Title and risk transfer to the buyer once the carrier picks up the item from our facility.
Local Delivery
- Local delivery is available within New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and the New York metro area.
- Our team typically makes local delivery runs every 2–4 weeks.
- Items are handled by our staff or trusted partners, fully wrapped and secured.
- Contact us at info@centerstageantiques.com with your ZIP code for a delivery quote and estimated timeframe.
Pickup
- Customers are welcome to pick up purchases by appointment from our Mount Holly, NJ location.
- Please bring a suitable vehicle, blankets, and straps for safe transport.
- Items must be picked up within 14 days unless storage arrangements are made in advance (see our Storage Policy).
Shipping Costs
- Freight and delivery rates vary based on size, weight, and destination.
- Shipping quotes are provided upon request before purchase or after checkout confirmation.
- Buyers are responsible for shipping, insurance, and handling charges unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Shipping Damage
- Inspect your item carefully upon delivery.
- For freight deliveries, note any visible damage on the delivery receipt before signing.
- Contact us within 24 hours at info@centerstageantiques.com with photos if the item arrives damaged.

Delivery Delays
Freight delivery times depend on carrier scheduling, distance, and weather conditions. These factors are outside our control, but we stay in contact with our carriers and can provide updates upon request.
