Do you need to remove your window to get your sofa delivered?

1 Comment

I thinking about what makes a delivery difficult and I wrote about when deliveries go wrong:

Quite often the problem can be in the venue the item is being delivered too. Doorways can be too narrow for sofas and beds resulting in the removal of a window to get the item in the house.Sarah & Kevin Arrow, West Thurrock & Dartford Courier and parcel services, Aug 2008

Quite often a courier will only deliver kerbside to kerbside. They are no longer insured to go into the home of the customer.

Often with our drivers they won’t leave you to struggle with the getting the item inside part, but it needs to be understood this isn’t part of many courier companies services, this is goodwill from the driver.

It really helps to inform the driver if help us needed and on some occasions a two man team is needed.

With doorways becoming narrower, and windows being removed to deliver sofas there is a lot that can make a successful delivery go wrong.

How to deliver a washing machine

No Comments

If you have bought a new washing machine, delivery is fairly easy, aside from the awkwardness of getting it in the home, a professional courier has sack trolleys or dolly’s and can easily move it around. With a tail lift vehicle and well trained staff, the need for a two man team delivering these white goods is no longer essential.

If collecting and delivering a secondhand washing machine from ebay or freecycle, you need to secure the drum before loading and unloading. Sometimes the previous owner will have kept the transit bolts, and they are the right thing to secure the drum with. This is not essential but advisable, it prevents damage and increases the longevity of the machine.

Whilst doing the research for this post I came across this picture and this youtube video, it certainly made me smile :-)

But you still need two men teams to deliver when you use a motorbike!

We are happy to advise and quote without obligation on your white goods collection and delivery. Call us on 0844 884 3331 or 07816 528421.
