RTTX 05 - DISTINGUISHED TRANSPORT
Paige Hull
Have you ever been so excited about a purchase in Round Top, only to be deflated after you begin trying to figure out how you’re going to get it home?
That is where Distinguished Transport comes in! They are a full service shipping company that will treat your treasures as their own and deliver them to their destination safely. In fact, they are the only people we would trust with our beloved French armoire. They also help us every season during our Business, Branding and Social Media workshops when we need to clear out the Boho great room to make space for the panel discussion and they have never been anything but amazing.
The crew at Distinguished Transport does so much more than move furniture from A to B. They have a process, care goes in to every step, as they know the value of the items that are entrusted in their care.
The high end service they provide is unrivaled in town. Their service is focused on ease and dependability.
We had the opportunity to talk with Chris and Jeff from Distinguished Transport and this is what they had to say:
“Distinguished Transport is the only white glove, fully insured shipper on site in Round Top. We bring items inside and place them where the customer wants them. We price jobs based on where it is being shipped to. We do not charge based on size or weight, solely on the location. So we charge a particular price for the first item then we charge an additional fee for any items after that. For example: Lets say our fee to a location is $100 for the first item, then each additional item after that is $50. The customer pays more for the first items but gets a large price break on the additional items. We also group like items together like chairs and boxes.”
The Round Top Antiques fair is something we look forward to every season. We love scouring the different shows for all sorts of pieces, big and small. And fortunately, Distinguished Transport takes the anxiety out of falling in love with extra-large pieces. We could not be more appreciative of them and the care they put into ensuring that the peeling paint on our armoire doesn't peel any more than it already was.
