Sylvie—the Instagram-famous antique brand known for drops that sell out in minutes—hosted their first-ever in-person estate sale in January 2026. Lugg was on-site to handle same-day delivery for shoppers across the tri-state area. Over two days, we delivered loads of antique furniture covering 442 miles to customers in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
Here's how it worked.
What Is the Sylvie Estate Sale?
On January 24th and January 31st, 2026, Sylvie hosted their first-ever in-person estate sale at their warehouse at 195 Front Street in Newburgh, NY. Founded by Chelsea MacMillan, Sylvie is known for limited online drops of one-of-one European antiques—pieces that routinely sell out within minutes.
For the first time, customers could shop room by room through French farmhouse tables, hand-thrown Spanish pottery, 18th-century sideboards, and hundreds of pieces that had never made it to the website—all at special estate-only pricing.
To solve the challenge of getting large antique furniture home, Sylvie partnered with Lugg for same-day delivery within 150 miles of the event.
How Same-Day Antique Furniture Delivery Works
Lugg was on-site throughout both sale days with professional movers and vehicles ready to transport purchases directly from the estate to customers' homes. Derek, Lugg's Greater NYC sales rep, coordinated deliveries throughout both days. The process was simple: customers shopped, found their perfect piece, and arranged delivery with the Lugg team before leaving.
"Loved having Lugg on site for this event," Hannah, partner at Sylvie said. "We ship vintage and antique furniture all over the country, and when we do that, it's freight shipping—lots of packing on a pallet. But whenever possible, if we're doing a local delivery, we have Lugg come and pick up, send it nearby, then we don't have to do all the palletizing."
"They're always quick, convenient," Hannah explained. "It saves us a ton of work for packing and shipping, and our customers love it because they get it same day."

Why Estate Sales Need On-Demand Delivery Services
For antique dealers and estate sale organizers, logistics have always been a barrier to sales. Customers travel hours to shop, fall in love with a piece, and then face the question: how do I actually get this home?
Traditional freight shipping works for cross-country deliveries but requires palletizing and weeks of wait time. Asking customers to rent a truck and transport antiques themselves creates friction that can stop a sale entirely.
Having Lugg on-site removes that friction. Customers focus on finding the perfect piece, knowing that getting it home is handled. For retailers like Sylvie, it means more completed sales, happier customers, and no pile of "sold, pending pickup" tags.
This isn't our first retail partnership—see how we supported the BQ Flea in their opening 2025 season.
