When you compare office furniture quotes, delivery and installation are where the numbers tend to drift. One vendor bundles them, another leaves them vague, and a third adds a fuel charge at the end. Office Station lists delivery and installation as their own lines on every written quote, so you can build a complete budget and compare vendors fairly.
How delivery and installation are quoted
| Service | How it is quoted |
|---|---|
| Delivery, Greater Phoenix | Based on your address, building access and the size of the order |
| Delivery, elsewhere nationwide | Freight priced on items and destination |
| Professional installation | Based on station count, building access and layout complexity |
| Space planning | Free; helps confirm layout before install day |
| Electrical hookup | Not included; arrange with a licensed electrician |
What drives the installation cost
- Station count and type: more stations, larger footprints and frame-and-tile systems take more crew time.
- Layout complexity: long straight runs go up faster than clusters, curved runs or mixed panel heights.
- Building access: a dock and a reserved freight elevator are quicker than stairs or long carries.
- Timing: buildings that require night or weekend moves can affect scheduling.
If you were planning to buy chair mats, pedestals or an extra station later, it can make sense to add them now so they arrive and go in with the same crew visit.
What a delivered-and-installed quote shows
Say you need 20 remanufactured 6'x6' workstations delivered to a Phoenix-area address and installed. Your written quote lists the furniture, delivery and installation as separate lines, so you can see what each one adds and decide whether to use our crew. Larger orders are quoted together, and your quantity is reflected in the furniture line. Electrical is not on the quote, so budget for your electrician separately. Every project is quoted individually, and space planning is free.

How nationwide freight is quoted
Outside Greater Phoenix, freight is priced per project because the distance, carrier and handling change from one shipment to the next. To get an accurate freight quote quickly, send:
- The delivery address, including suite or floor
- An item list: station count and size, chairs, desks, tables and storage
- Building access details: dock or no dock, freight elevator, stairs or long carries
- Your target date and any hours when deliveries are not allowed
- Whether you want installation priced at the same time
A complete list up front avoids a second round of questions and gives you a number you can actually budget against.
What installation covers
Installation means a crew assembles your stations on site according to your layout: panels connected, work surfaces mounted and storage placed. It does not include connecting powered panels to building electrical, which is why electrical is listed separately. If you used free space planning, the crew works from that plan, which is the easiest way to avoid moving a run of stations after it is built.
Timing: when furniture can arrive
Delivery can only be as fast as the furniture is available. Lead times depend on the tier you choose:
- Liquidation-grade: as little as 72 hours when in stock.
- Remanufactured: usually 7 to 14 days.
- New: 4 to 6 weeks.
If your move-in date is fixed, start from that date and work backward. Leave room for the electrician after installation, since stations with power panels are not usable until they are connected.
Delivery day checklist
- Confirm the address and suite so delivery is quoted for the right location.
- Ask property management about loading dock hours and freight elevator reservations.
- Request the certificate of insurance your building requires, with the right certificate holder listed.
- Check after-hours rules. Some buildings require furniture moves on nights or weekends.
- Clear the floor. Remove old furniture, boxes and anything sitting where stations will go.
- Mark the layout using your space plan so the crew knows where each run of stations lands.
- Schedule your electrician for after installation is complete.
- Walk the finished install and note any issues before the crew leaves.
What we deliver and install
Delivery and installation apply across what Office Station sells: used cubicles and workstations, pre-owned office furniture including desks, tables and storage, and pre-owned office chairs. Pre-owned designer brands are sold as an independent reseller, not an authorized dealer, and manufacturer warranties generally do not transfer to pre-owned furniture.
Clearing an old space first?
If old furniture is standing between you and install day, removal can be part of the plan. For offices in Office Station's liquidation markets, we walk the space for free and recommend the best route for the old furniture: resale, a buy, a quote to clear, donation or recycling, or a mix. We clear on your deadline and hand the space back broom-swept. See office decommissioning for what a full clear-out includes, from itemized inventory to a photo-documented broom-clean handback.

Frequently asked questions
How much does office furniture delivery cost in Phoenix?
Delivery is quoted with your project, based on your address, building access and the size of the order. It appears as its own line on your written quote. Outside Greater Phoenix, freight is quoted per project.
How much does workstation installation cost?
Installation is quoted with your project, based on the number of stations, building access, the complexity of the layout and any after-hours requirements. It is listed separately from the furniture, so you can see exactly what it adds.
Is electrical hookup included in installation?
No. Workstation prices and installation exclude electrical. If your stations have powered panels, plan on a licensed electrician to make the connection to building power.
Do you deliver office furniture outside Arizona?
Yes. Delivery elsewhere in the country is handled as freight and quoted per project, based on what is shipping and where it is going. Share your address, item list and any building requirements to get an accurate number.
Can I install the furniture myself?
Installation is priced separately from furniture, so you can choose. Keep in mind that workstation systems involve panels, connectors and work surface supports, and a crew that installs them regularly will usually finish faster and with fewer missing parts.
