4. Before delivery day
- Tried the figures in the free calculator and noted the result.
- Checked whether the door can be lifted off its hinges.
- Cleared rugs, shoes, pictures and fragile items from the route.
- Measured the room the sofa is going into, not only the way in.
- Told the delivery team about stairs, tight turns and any parking restrictions.
- Agreed what happens if the sofa does not fit.
