THE DETAIL THAT MATTERS

Does inside delivery include stairs, assembly and unpacking?

Inside delivery does not automatically include stairs, room placement, unpacking, assembly or installation. Define each task in advance.

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE

Define where the delivery ends

“Inside” might mean an agreed ground-floor receiving area. Moving a sofa upstairs, removing packaging and assembling it are additional tasks unless expressly included.
