Before delivery: a practical preparation checklist

Agree on packing, access, installation and inspection before delivery day.

Assign each responsibility

List unloading, carrying, unpacking, assembly, waste removal and site protection separately. Confirm what is included and what requires a separate arrangement, especially lifting or special building access.

Allow room for inspection

Prepare a clean, dry and protected area. Record the packing condition before opening, then check quantities, models, finishes and accessories. Follow the brand’s assembly instructions.

Document any issues

Record missing parts or visible issues with their location, photographs, packing labels and order details, then contact the service provider. Keep the specification, delivery record and care instructions for future service.
