A Checklist Guide For Appliance Delivery Preparation
June 07, 2010 - Chris Bennion - Coast Wholesale Appliances
Before having your new appliances delivered, there are many things you should review with your sales person and even more things to prepare for to ensure everything goes smoothly.
Things to review with your sales person:
__Is your front door large enough to fit your new appliances through?
__Front access or rear access to your house?
__Any stairs to contend with?
__Do you have hardwood floors?
__Do you have recently laid tile? (Heavy fridges can loosen recently laid tiles)
__Will you have someone at home over the age of 18 to sign for appliances?
Things to do before delivery:
__Make sure your driveway and/or walkways are clear for accessibility of delivery staff
__Make sure you are home during delivery time or you might be charged for another delivery
__Secure any pets as they can get in the way when delivering appliances
__Make sure that all connections are in place and ready for installation.
__Make sure there is enough room outside for a delivery truck to unload
Things to do During Delivery:
__Some delivery companies install appliances, while others don’t. If they don’t, make sure they leave the appliance in an area convenient for the installer. As close as possible to where it will be installed is ideal.
__Make sure you check the appliances for any damage BEFORE the delivery company leaves. Alert the delivery men if any damage is found.
__Stay close by when deliveries take place as things can get damaged accidentally.
Things to do After Delivery:
__Some appliances can get slightly dusty during the delivery trip, make sure to wipe them off using a microfiber cloth and some warm water. Regular cloths can scratch metals and stainless steel finishes.
__Make sure to check out the appliances and run them through their various cycles. Most manufacturers have seven day Cosmetic warranties to cover miscellaneous nicks and dents.
__Enjoy and relax… you have your new appliance(s)!
