Storage & Filing — Expert Answer

How does filing cabinet delivery and installation typically work?

Most commercial filing cabinet orders ship via freight (LTL) for larger orders or UPS/FedEx for smaller units. Delivery to a loading dock or curbside is standard — if you need inside delivery or placement to a specific room, confirm this with the retailer before ordering, as it typically involves an additional service charge. Filing cabinets come assembled or nearly assembled — they usually need no significant setup beyond adding drawer label holders and adjusting hanging file rails to letter or legal size. Some customers prefer delivery-and-setup services for large orders (20+ cabinets). For multi-building or multi-floor installations, coordinate elevator access and staging space.
