Need Help with IKEA or HomeSense Furniture Delivery? We’ve Got You Covered

VanDeliveryApp • August 13, 2025

Shopping at IKEA or HomeSense can be exciting. You pick out stylish furniture or décor at a great price and start imagining how it will look in your home. But there is one big hurdle—getting your purchase from the store to your door. Large flat-pack boxes, heavy dining tables, or oversized sectionals do not fit in most cars. Even if you manage to fit them in, the struggle to maneuver them up apartment stairs or through narrow condo hallways can turn your dream purchase into a logistical headache. That is where VanDeliveryApp.com comes in.


We specialize in furniture delivery and small moves, offering a tailored service for customers who need a professional hand transporting their IKEA or HomeSense finds across cities in the United States and Canada. Whether you are picking up a PAX wardrobe from IKEA on Sheppard Avenue East in Toronto or a plush sofa from HomeSense on Cambie Street in Vancouver, our team is ready to handle the heavy lifting, careful loading, and safe transport.


We navigate the urban streets you know—Granville Street in Vancouver, Saint-Laurent Boulevard in Montreal, Broadway in New York City, Boylston Street in Boston—and bring your new purchase straight to your living room. From single-item deliveries to assembling multiple pieces, VanDeliveryApp.com ensures your shopping experience ends on a high note with no back strain and no frustration. In this guide, we will cover the top reasons to choose our service for IKEA and HomeSense deliveries and show how our local expertise makes moving your purchases easy in neighborhoods from Halifax’s Hydrostone Market to Los Angeles’ Silver Lake.

The Challenge of Store-to-Home Delivery

Bringing furniture home from a store like IKEA or HomeSense is not as simple as it sounds. IKEA’s sprawling warehouses in places like Boucherville near Montreal or Renton near Seattle offer everything from bed frames to kitchen cabinets, but many of these items come in oversized boxes that are heavy and awkward to carry. HomeSense stores, whether along Queen Street West in Toronto or on Broadway in Vancouver, offer beautiful home décor, but large mirrors, dining tables, and accent chairs need careful handling to avoid damage. Public transit is out of the question, and ride-share vehicles rarely accept bulky loads. Even rental trucks can be inconvenient for quick pickups, especially in neighborhoods like Chicago’s Lincoln Park or Boston’s Beacon Hill, where parking restrictions and narrow streets complicate the process. VanDeliveryApp.com bridges this gap with same-day pickup and delivery, ensuring your items arrive safely without you needing to borrow a friend’s pickup or wrestle with a rental van.


Expertise in Urban Navigation

Delivering furniture in a busy city is about more than just driving from point A to point B—it is about knowing how to avoid the biggest headaches. In Vancouver, our drivers know to avoid the bottlenecks at the Granville Street Bridge during rush hour. In Toronto, they plan around the traffic on the Don Valley Parkway and know the back-street shortcuts through Leslieville. Montreal deliveries might require navigating one-way streets in the Plateau or planning around closures on Sherbrooke Street during summer festivals. In New York City, we work with the realities of Fifth Avenue congestion and loading restrictions in SoHo. In Los Angeles, our routes through Santa Monica Boulevard or Sunset Boulevard are timed to avoid gridlock. By combining real-time navigation tools with local street knowledge, VanDeliveryApp.com ensures timely deliveries whether you are moving a desk from HomeSense in Calgary’s Beltline to a condo in Mission or picking up an IKEA couch from Paramus, New Jersey, to deliver to Brooklyn.


Handling Large and Delicate Items

One of the biggest concerns when moving furniture is protecting it from damage. IKEA wardrobes, HomeSense coffee tables with glass tops, and upholstered chairs require proper padding, secure strapping, and careful handling. Our teams carry moving blankets, bubble wrap, and tie-downs in every van, ready to secure items regardless of their shape. In Halifax, that might mean protecting a dresser from the salty air while unloading near the waterfront. In Chicago, it might mean ensuring a mirrored armoire makes it through a narrow stairwell in a Gold Coast apartment without a scratch. In Vancouver’s Yaletown, where condo hallways are often tight, we have the techniques and tools to maneuver safely. From Los Angeles lofts to Boston brownstones, our crews treat every delivery as if it were their own furniture.


Flexible Service for Small Moves

While our specialty is delivering purchases from IKEA or HomeSense, we also handle small moves that often go hand in hand with new furniture. If you are redecorating and need to move out an old sofa to make room for the new one, we can take care of it in the same trip. For students moving into dorms at the University of Toronto near Bloor Street or McGill University in Montreal’s Milton-Parc, our vans are perfect for transporting a few pieces of furniture without the cost of a large moving truck. In Seattle’s University District, Boston’s Allston neighborhood, or Philadelphia’s University City, we help students and young professionals relocate quickly and affordably. We also offer assembly services, so your new IKEA shelving unit or HomeSense dining set can be ready to use on the same day it is delivered.


Parking and Access Advantages

One of the biggest advantages of using our vans instead of large trucks is the ability to park closer to your door. In Toronto’s Yorkville or Montreal’s Mile End, parking is limited and enforcement is strict. Large moving trucks may require permits or block traffic lanes, but our vans fit into regular spaces, making loading and unloading faster and less disruptive. In cities like San Francisco, where Lombard Street’s curves challenge larger vehicles, or in Boston, where historic streets in Beacon Hill are narrow, our vans provide the agility to complete the delivery without the stress of finding a massive loading zone. Whether dropping off a HomeSense rug in Ottawa’s Glebe or an IKEA dining set in Edmonton’s Oliver neighborhood, we can get closer to your home with ease.


Cost Efficiency for Customers

Choosing VanDeliveryApp.com for your IKEA or HomeSense delivery is not just about convenience—it is also about value. Renting a large truck for a single dining table from HomeSense or a set of bookshelves from IKEA means paying for space you do not need. Our vans are sized for small to medium loads, which keeps fuel and operating costs lower. We pass those savings on to you. Delivering a sectional from IKEA in Vaughan to a home in Markham costs less than hiring a full-service mover with a 26-foot truck. Picking up a sideboard from HomeSense in Calgary and delivering it to Inglewood can be done affordably without sacrificing service quality.


Serving Cities Across the US and Canada

VanDeliveryApp.com operates in major metropolitan areas across North America.

From delivering a bed frame along Chicago’s North Michigan Avenue to transporting a dining table across Vancouver’s Cambie Street Bridge, we bring your purchases home without delay.


Customer Experience and Care

We believe that the delivery experience should match the excitement of buying new furniture. Our drivers and movers arrive in uniform, communicate clearly, and handle every item with care. We confirm pickup and delivery times, provide updates while on the road, and work with building managers for smooth elevator bookings in high-rise condos. Customers in Boston’s Back Bay appreciate our professionalism just as much as those in Halifax’s downtown core. We consistently earn repeat business because our clients trust us to be on time, careful, and courteous whether we are delivering a HomeSense accent chair or an IKEA kitchen island.


Getting furniture home from IKEA or HomeSense should be the easiest part of the shopping experience. With VanDeliveryApp.com, it is exactly that. Our agile vans, skilled movers, and deep knowledge of cities across the United States and Canada make store-to-home delivery smooth, affordable, and stress-free.

We navigate the traffic, find the parking, protect your items, and bring them right to your door. From the busy streets of Los Angeles to the historic neighborhoods of Montreal, we deliver not only your furniture but also peace of mind.
