Delivery, disconnection, installation, haul-away, and appliance testing are different tasks. Verify what is included before service.
Write these details into the request rather than keeping them as service-day assumptions. Furniture and appliance delivery depends on measurements, safe handling, pickup readiness, and a clear destination path.
Prepare the appliance
Follow manufacturer guidance, empty contents, secure doors or loose components, and make sure the item is ready to move.
Photos, measurements, and a reachable contact make this checkpoint easier to verify before anyone travels.
Measure the route
Check the appliance, carton, doorway with the door open, hallway turns, stairs, elevator, and installation area.
If the condition changes, update the plan early so vehicle, crew, timing, and handling can be reviewed.
Protect the property
Clear rugs and obstacles, identify delicate flooring, secure pets, and note freshly painted or vulnerable surfaces.
The goal is a route that protects the item, the property, and the people completing the work.
Verify the delivery
Check model and packaging, inspect visible condition, and confirm placement before the team leaves.
Finish this step before checkout whenever possible and keep the supporting information available on service day.
Frequently asked questions
Will the delivery team disconnect my old appliance?
Only if that service is specifically offered and selected; otherwise have it safely disconnected in advance.
Should refrigerator doors be removed?
Do not remove them unless the service plan and manufacturer guidance support it. Provide measurements first.
Can an appliance be transported on its side?
Transport orientation depends on the appliance and manufacturer instructions; disclose the model and follow approved guidance.
