List each product, expected cartons, model or order number, and separately packaged accessories.
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.
Inspect at the loading area
Count packages before loading and compare labels. Photograph damaged or open cartons and ask about missing pieces.
Photos, measurements, and a reachable contact make this checkpoint easier to verify before anyone travels.
Load by product group
Keep cartons for the same product together where practical and protect small hardware boxes from being hidden or crushed.
If the condition changes, update the plan early so vehicle, crew, timing, and handling can be reviewed.
Count again at delivery
Match unloaded cartons to the manifest before the vehicle leaves and identify which room receives each group.
The goal is a route that protects the item, the property, and the people completing the work.
Keep the record
Save retailer paperwork, photos, serial or model information, and the completed package count.
Finish this step before checkout whenever possible and keep the supporting information available on service day.
Frequently asked questions
Why do products arrive in several boxes?
Furniture and equipment often ship as multiple cartons; use the retailer’s package count rather than the product count.
What if a box has no readable label?
Photograph it and ask store staff to confirm which order it belongs to.
Should boxes be opened at pickup?
Follow retailer and customer instructions; first document packaging and count without disrupting return eligibility.
