### Why Unpacking New Stuff is Such a Faff
You've bought something nice - new sofa, TV, exercise bike, whatever. It gets delivered in **approximately 47 layers of packaging**. Cardboard, polystyrene, cable ties, plastic wrap, those impossible twist-ties, more cardboard, protective foam...
Then there's assembly instructions that make no sense, tiny screws you'll definitely lose, and an Allen key that's **just slightly the wrong size**. Two hours later you're surrounded by packaging debris, the thing's half-assembled, and you've sworn at it three times.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Book this service when you order large items - especially if you're elderly, have mobility issues, or just can't be bothered with the faff. Life's too short.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Multiple deliveries?** Ordered several items for a room makeover? I can unpack and set up everything in one visit - more efficient than doing them separately as they arrive. **White goods installation?** If it's a washing machine or dishwasher, I can unpack and position it ready for plumbing connection. Actual plumbing hookup is a different job (needs Part P certification). **Old Exeter houses with narrow doorways?** I'm used to maneuvering furniture through awkward spaces. Victorian hallways and narrow stairs are part of the job around here - I'll get it where it needs to go.
Frequently Asked Questions about Unpacking new items in Newton Abbot
What kind of items do you unpack?
Pretty much anything - furniture, white goods, TVs, kitchen appliances, exercise equipment, garden furniture. If it's been delivered in a box and you don't fancy wrestling with cardboard and cable ties, I'll sort it.
Do you assemble flat-pack furniture too?
Yes - if it needs putting together, that's included. Simple stuff like chairs or shelves won't add much time. Big wardrobes or complex items might take longer but I'll let you know.
What happens to all the packaging?
I'll break it down, fold it flat, and either put it in your recycling bin or take it away completely if you prefer. Your place is left tidy, not drowning in cardboard and polystyrene.
Can you position the item where I want it?
Absolutely - once it's unpacked and assembled, I'll put it exactly where you want it. We can even try different positions if you're not sure where it looks best.
What if the delivery is damaged?
I'll spot that while unpacking and let you know immediately so you can report it to the supplier while it's fresh. Much easier than discovering damage later when you finally open the box three weeks after delivery.
