Warehousing & Distribution Services
Northeast Ohio's Only Full-Service Relocation & Logistics Provider
RLD Relocation & Logistics operates one of Northeast Ohio's most advanced warehousing and distribution facilities. Our 14-acre North Canton campus features a climate-controlled warehouse with polished, sealed concrete floors, zone-controlled temperature systems, laser beam security, and ISO certification in the furniture category. We are one of only 10 NTS-approved facilities in the region, meeting the rigorous standards required for military and government storage.
We have recently partnered with TQL to expand our third-party logistics capabilities, bringing in high-volume clients including Walmart and other major retailers. We have also partnered with JB Hunt to supplement our power-only division. As an independent 3PL provider, we offer the flexibility and customization that national logistics companies cannot match.
Cross-Docking
Cross-docking is a logistics process where incoming shipments are transferred directly from inbound trucks to outbound trucks with minimal or no storage time. This process dramatically reduces handling costs, storage time, and overall supply chain costs. RLD's North Canton facility is ideally configured for cross-docking operations, with multiple loading bays that allow simultaneous inbound and outbound operations.
Our location within 600 miles of 60% of the U.S. population makes us an ideal cross-docking hub for distribution throughout the Midwest and East Coast. We work with businesses to design and implement cross-docking programs that reduce their logistics costs while maintaining the speed and reliability their customers expect.
- Rapid Transfer: Minimize storage time and handling costs with efficient cross-docking operations.
- Multiple Loading Bays: Simultaneous inbound and outbound operations at our North Canton facility.
- Strategic Location: Within 600 miles of 60% of the U.S. population for efficient distribution.

Deluxing Services
Deluxing is a specialized service that RLD provides for furniture manufacturers and retailers who need their products prepared for final mile delivery. When new furniture arrives at our facility from the manufacturer, our deluxing team opens the packaging, inspects each piece for damage, notes and documents any issues, removes the manufacturer's packaging, re-wraps the furniture with premium 90-thread-count moving pads, and prepares it for delivery to the customer's home.
This process ensures that your customers receive their furniture in perfect condition, protected by premium materials throughout the final mile delivery process. We also assemble furniture if it arrives disassembled, ensuring it is ready for placement in the customer's home upon delivery. This is the level of service that premium furniture brands like Williams-Sonoma and Pottery Barn require for their customers.
- Inspection & Documentation: Every piece inspected for damage upon receipt, with detailed documentation.
- Repackaging: Manufacturer packaging removed and replaced with premium moving pads.
- Assembly: Disassembled furniture assembled and prepared for delivery.
- Quality Control: Every piece verified before it goes out for final mile delivery.
Final Mile Delivery
Final mile delivery is the last — and most critical — step in the supply chain. It is the moment your customer interacts with your product, and it must be perfect. RLD provides white glove final mile delivery services that go far beyond simply dropping a package at the door. Our trained delivery crews bring furniture into the customer's home, place it precisely where the customer wants it, assemble it if required, and remove all packaging materials.
We protect the customer's home throughout the delivery process, laying down carpet protection and floor protection to prevent damage. We treat every delivery as if we were delivering to our own home. This is the service that high-end furniture manufacturers, interior decorators, and discriminating customers demand — and it is a service that your average trucking company simply cannot provide.
- White Glove Delivery: Furniture brought into the home, placed precisely, and assembled if required.
- Home Protection: Carpet and floor protection laid throughout the delivery area.
- Debris Removal: All packaging materials removed from the customer's home.
- Precise Placement: We position furniture exactly where the customer wants it, adjusting as needed.
- Interior Decorator Services: We work with interior decorators to deliver and place high-value items including $20,000+ tapestry rugs and custom furnishings.
