Ship it to us, not the job site. Avant-Garde receives your vendor deliveries, inspects and photographs every piece on arrival, stores it in our climate-controlled facility, and delivers the whole project together when the space is ready.
Trusted by thousands across NYC · 1,000+ verified reviews
From the first vendor delivery to the day the space is ready, every piece is checked, recorded and kept safe.
Have your showrooms, workrooms and freight carriers ship to us instead of to a job site with no loading dock and nobody home. We sign for each delivery, count the pieces against your order, and tell you the moment something is short.
We open the packaging and look at the piece itself, not just the box. Each item is photographed and its condition written up, so if something arrived damaged you know while there is still time to send it back or claim it with the carrier.
Orders land weeks or months apart, and the space is rarely ready when the first one does. Your pieces wait in our monitored, climate-controlled facility, labeled by project and room, for as long as the project needs.
When the space is ready, everything comes in one scheduled delivery instead of a dozen vendor drop-offs. Pair it with our installation crew and the same team that inspected each piece places it in the room.
From the first purchase order to install day in four steps.
Share the item list and vendor details. We give you the shipping instructions to put on each purchase order.
Each delivery is signed for, counted, unwrapped and checked. You get photos and a note on its condition.
Pieces are repacked, labeled by project and room, and held in our climate-controlled facility until you are ready.
On your date, everything arrives in one delivery and can be placed, assembled and hung by our installation crew.

White Glove MovingA receiving partner that protects your schedule, your budget and your client's pieces.
A scratch found on install day is too late. We find it the day the piece arrives, while you can still reorder or file a claim.
Your client does not wait at home for vendors, and the building does not book the freight elevator a dozen times.
Upholstery, wood and art are stored in stable conditions in a secure, monitored facility, not a loading dock or a hallway.
Every piece is logged with photos, so you can answer your client's questions without calling around to vendors.
Certificates of Insurance, freight elevator windows and co-op work hours are arranged before the truck leaves.
The crew that received and inspected your pieces is the one that delivers and installs them. Nothing falls between companies.

The team of movers were incredibly efficient, thorough, careful and polite. They handled every item with care and packed everything perfectly.
Thank you Markos and team for the move! They did amazing work. I thought they were efficient movers. They also lifted a heavy piano perfectly.
We hired Avant Garde for a white glove packing and moving service within Manhattan, and they were fantastic from start to finish.
They handled our full-house move from NYC to Miami, five bedrooms, four stories, a ton of stuff, and somehow made the whole process stress-free.
Join hundreds of satisfied customers who trust us with their moves
In New York, the job site is usually the worst place to receive a delivery. Most apartments have no loading dock, the client is not home, the building restricts delivery hours, and orders arrive weeks apart from vendors all over the country.
Fewer missed deliveries - Freight carriers deliver to a facility that is staffed to receive them
Problems caught early - Damaged or wrong items are found on arrival, not on install day
A cleaner install day - Everything arrives together, checked and ready to place
When the space is ready, our installation crew brings it all in and finishes the rooms. Artwork can be held in our fine art storage until it is time to hang it.
