Confirm exact item, price, included pieces, condition, and who is authorized to release it.
Write these details into the request rather than keeping them as service-day assumptions. Store and marketplace pickups work best when the order, seller, access, and handoff are confirmed before dispatch.
Choose a practical window
Use a window the seller can actually honor and account for building access, traffic, and the buyer’s receiving availability.
Photos, measurements, and a reachable contact make this checkpoint easier to verify before anyone travels.
Provide pickup instructions
Share address, unit, gate, parking, stairs, contact method, and whether the item is already outside or must be carried from inside.
If the condition changes, update the plan early so vehicle, crew, timing, and handling can be reviewed.
Prepare for the handoff
Ask the seller to clear access, gather loose parts, and avoid disassembling something unexpectedly after the vehicle arrives.
The goal is a route that protects the item, the property, and the people completing the work.
Handle changes early
If the seller changes location, time, item condition, or availability, contact the service provider before dispatch.
Finish this step before checkout whenever possible and keep the supporting information available on service day.
