Need a my dream bed made! Any suggestions??

Well, most custom furniture makers will ship their pieces preferably with specialized services that ship art and other precious cargo. Because of the amount of care needed in shipping your precious custom made piece, the price is indeed much higher than normal shipping options. But the trade of is a piece delivered with the utmost care and in pristine condition upon arrival at your home.

If you find a local maker, then pick up/delivery is a viable option. That would be the only way to save on shipping. Using a cheaper national service will ensure shipment handled with no care and high damage risk.

Just some things to consider from my experience.

Hope this helps.
