Measure furniture delivery through doors, turns and the installation space
Record furniture, packaging and route dimensions separately. Door width is one part of the question; turns, lifts and dismantling also need the delivery provider's assessment.
Read dimensions together with the complete route
Get dimensions and the delivery configuration for the actual model before measuring the route. Assembled, dismantled and packaged deliveries can require different space; another model's measurements are not a substitute.
Record clear door openings, corridor turns, lifts and the destination space. Label measurement positions and units on the accompanying record so the delivery provider knows whether a figure describes a frame, door leaf or clear opening.
Keep these dimensions separate
Provide measurements for assessment rather than treating one width as proof that delivery will succeed.
| Item | Record | Follow-up |
|---|---|---|
| Furniture | Model and assembled dimensions | Match the order |
| Delivery configuration | Packaged or component dimensions | Confirm with the provider |
| Route | Clear openings, turns and lift | Provide the actual route |
| Destination | Position and operating clearance | Allow opening and circulation space |
Example: the sofa and its carton differ
The sofa is narrower than its packaging. Ask the provider how it will be carried and where unpacking is allowed, then assess the route against that configuration instead of only the product-page dimensions.
Check before ordering and delivery
- Model, packaging and component details
- Measurement locations along the route
- Provider's response to the route
