About the Company

Diakon Logistics

Runs furniture and appliance delivery programs

Diakon Logistics arranges home delivery for furniture and appliance retailers, coordinating bulky purchases from warehouses to customers' homes through independent motor carriers. Its white glove service covers careful handling, installation and assembly of products that need more than a doorstep drop-off. Retailers contract with Diakon to run delivery programs and warehouses, while local managers handle scheduling and communication with carriers. The company also manages inventory, product repairs and returns, so damaged or unwanted goods move back through the supply chain. Diakon Logistics was founded in 1991 and is headquartered in Austin, Texas.
