Please note our Furniture is Curbside delivery only, means that the shipper will bring the package to your address, pull the truck up to the front of your house, load the pallet(s) onto the lift gate on the back of the truck, lower the lift, and push the pallet(s) onto the path or driveway in front of your house.
If there is not an incline or stairs leading to your house, they may wheel the pallet(s) to your door if the driver can facilitate this.
The nature of Bulky deliveries means they are too heavy for one delivery person to haul up an incline or upstairs, and it will be your responsibility to bring the item inside. It is also your responsibility to unpack the item, completing any necessary assembly, and disposing of the pallet.
