Furniture Delivery Checklist: What to Expect & How to Prepare

 

4 Piece Sectional


Getting new furniture delivered is exciting — but without the right prep, it can quickly turn stressful. At Cardi’s Furniture & Mattresses, we make delivery easy with White Glove Service and expert logistics. Still, there are a few things you can do to ensure the process is smooth from start to finish.

Here’s your go-to Furniture Delivery Checklist — everything you need to know and do before the truck arrives.


✅ 1. Confirm Your Delivery Details

Before delivery day:

  • Double-check the delivery date and time window in your confirmation email.

  • Make sure Cardi’s has the correct address and phone number on file.

  • Opt-in for delivery text alerts or calls, if available.

πŸ“ž Important: Someone 18 years or older must be present to receive and sign for the delivery. The team cannot leave items unattended.


✅ 2. Measure Your Space (Twice!)

Avoid tight squeezes or last-minute returns by confirming your new piece will fit:

  • Measure doorways, hallways, elevators, and stairwells.

  • Don’t forget to factor in turning angles and ceiling height.

  • Use painter’s tape to outline the furniture footprint in your room.


✅ 3. Clear a Path

The delivery team needs safe, unobstructed access to your home and the furniture’s final location:

  • Remove rugs, toys, and any fragile items in hallways or entryways.

  • Unlock gates or doors and clear snow, ice, or debris from driveways.

  • If in an apartment or condo, reserve elevator access if needed.

🏑 Tip: Keep pets and small children safely out of the way during delivery.


✅ 4. Prep the Room

For full White Glove Service (available at Cardi’s Furniture & Mattresses), the team will:

  • Unpack and inspect the item

  • Assemble it in your room of choice

  • Remove all packaging materials
