Before booking, tell us where the seller's responsibility ends and where you want ours to begin: the curb, the entrance and the upstairs room are very different destinations.

Check the delivery terms before buying

A retailer's delivery may cover the threshold, a designated room, assembly, or only the boxed item. Read the actual order terms and confirm the destination floor. If the carton is already at home, photograph it and say whether you need unpacking, carrying, assembly or all three. We can review a remaining task without assuming the first delivery went wrong.

For a local purchase, the pickup address may differ from the showroom. Get the order number, release contact, collection appointment and information about who supplies loading help. Packaging dimensions matter as well as the assembled furniture's dimensions. An item that fits your room can still be awkward to collect in its original crate.

A Centre Market purchase has its own route

Consider buying a substantial cabinet from a shop around Centre Market, then taking it to a restored co-op. The useful questions start at the cabinet: Which floor is it on? Is there a clear route to the door? Can shelves or suitable legs be removed? Where may the truck stop while the crew collects it?

Centre Market's listing for Antiques on the Market describes two floors of antiques and collectibles. That does not establish where your particular purchase sits or what assistance the seller offers. Confirm those details with the actual shop before arranging the crew. We do not imply a delivery partnership with a business mentioned here. Antiques on the Market.

Measure the whole receiving path

For an apartment, include the common entrance, elevator if one is available for the job, hallway turns and the final doorway. For a hillside or country house, show steps, the driveway approach and whether the large delivery vehicle can get near the entrance. A bigger house can still have a difficult final turn.

Photograph each constriction with a clear measurement and send the furniture's rigid dimensions. Removable legs can help with one piece; a fixed cabinet or sleeper-sofa frame may have fewer options. RH's delivery-measuring guidance likewise calls attention to turns, elevators, restricted hours and vehicle access. Its instructions concern RH deliveries, but the preparation question is useful for any substantial purchase. RH delivery measurement guide.

We review the proposed route before committing to the job. If an item will not fit through ordinary access, that needs a separate assessed plan. Do not leave a possible hoist, window removal or building alteration to a conversation at the unloading point.

Agree the finishing work

Room placement, basic assembly, furniture unwrapping and removal of packaging are easy to confuse. Basic furniture assembly uses moving labor time with no separate basic assembly surcharge. Large wardrobes or complex flat-pack work are individually quoted. Furniture unwrapping is included at delivery; packaging waste removal is charged separately.

Send the exact model and instructions if assembly is required. A decorative cabinet, modular sofa, bed and exercise machine do not share one universal setup process. Use our wardrobe and flat-pack assembly page for larger units and our gym-equipment page for a fitness purchase.

Keep the estimate focused on one workable visit

The price depends on the agreed item, route and work. Collection delays, long carries, stairs, additional addresses and specialist preparation can add working time or change the quote. Send clear photographs and make the receiving room available. Decide which existing furniture must move before the new piece arrives; that in-home moving task can be included when arranged.

Can you collect from an individual seller?

We can review the item and both addresses. Confirm ownership/release, the appointment and any loading restrictions before booking.

Can you deliver into an upstairs apartment?

Provide the complete route and dimensions. The destination and carrying work must be explicitly agreed; the words “furniture delivery” alone do not settle them.

Can a purchase wait until the room is ready?

Discuss the dates and suitable holding arrangements in advance. Extra storage and handling cost money. For several staggered orders, designer receiving and delivery may be the more useful planning page.
