Location
Exeter, Devon
Furniture delivery received, unpacked, and positioned while you're at work. No more taking days off to sit around waiting for deliveries - I'll sort it all and dispose of the mountain of packaging.
Stop Taking Days Off for Deliveries
Ordered a new sofa? Bed frame arriving? Why waste a day's holiday sitting around waiting when I can receive it for you?
💡 Pro tip: Delivery windows are usually 8am-6pm. That's a whole day wasted - unless someone else receives it for you.
Why Professional Help Matters
Delivery drivers drop stuff and leave. They don't unpack, position, or clean up.

What to Expect
Step 1: Delivery Coordination
You tell me when your delivery's due. I confirm I'll be there, you give me access (key/code), and I wait for it.
Step 2: Receiving & Inspection
Delivery arrives, I check for obvious damage before signing, get it all inside. Drivers won't wait around, so this happens quickly.
Step 3: Unpacking & Positioning
Once they've gone, I unbox everything carefully, check for damage, and position furniture exactly where you want it (you'll have told me beforehand).
Step 4: Packaging Removal
All the cardboard, polystyrene, plastic wrap, and ties get broken down and removed. Your place is left tidy.
🔧 DIY Tips
Want to handle deliveries yourself more efficiently? Here's how:
🔧 What helps
- Stanley knife or box cutter for tape and plastic wrap
- Space to lay packaging flat as you remove it
- Someone to help with heavy items
- Car or van to take packaging to recycling
📐 Receiving deliveries
- Inspect boxes before signing - obvious damage? Note it on the delivery form
- Count the boxes - does it match the delivery note?
- Get driver to help carry it to the right room if possible (they usually will)
- Photograph any damage immediately
✂️ Unpacking efficiently
- Cut along tape lines, not through cardboard - easier to fold flat later
- Keep all screws/fixings together in one place
- Fold cardboard as you go, don't pile it in corners
- Check for damage before disposing of packaging (returns need original packaging)
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Signing without checking - can't claim for damage later
- Cutting through packaging carelessly - damaging the furniture inside
- Throwing packaging away before checking all parts are there
- Trying to move heavy furniture alone
💡 Pro trick: Before the delivery, clear the route from front door to final position. Move anything that'll be in the way. Measure tight doorways to confirm the furniture will fit. Nothing worse than getting a sofa stuck because you didn't measure first.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Assembly needed too? If it's flat pack furniture, that's a separate job and takes longer. Book both services together and I'll receive the delivery, then come back later to assemble (or do it straight away if time allows).
Multiple deliveries? If you've got furniture arriving from different places on different days, I can receive them all. Just book each delivery slot separately.
Older Exeter houses? Tight hallways and narrow doors are standard around here. I'm used to maneuvering sofas round tight corners and up steep Victorian stairs. We'll get it where it needs to go.
Damage in delivery? I'll photograph it before the driver leaves if it's obvious. For concealed damage found during unpacking, I'll document it so you can claim with the supplier.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does furniture delivery help work?
Simple - you arrange your furniture delivery for a time I'm available, I receive it at your house, unbox it, position it where you want, and take all the packaging away. You come home to furniture ready to use, not a pile of boxes.
Can you be there to receive deliveries when I'm at work?
Yes - that's exactly what most people use this service for. You give me a key or code, I meet the delivery, sign for it, and get everything unpacked and positioned. Much better than taking a day off work or having it dumped in a neighbor's hallway.
Do you assemble the furniture as well?
If it's flat pack, that's a separate service (and takes longer). This service is for receiving pre-assembled furniture, unboxing it, positioning it, and clearing the packaging. If you need assembly too, just let me know and I'll quote for both.
What happens to all the packaging?
I break it down and take it away if you want - either to recycling or I can leave it folded neatly if you prefer. Most people want it gone, so that's what I usually do.
How long does a furniture delivery take to sort?
Depends what's being delivered. A sofa might take an hour to unbox, position, and clear up. A whole living room set might be 2-3 hours. If you send me the delivery details, I can estimate more accurately.
