Delivery coming but you can't be home? I'll be there to receive it, check it's okay, and let you know immediately. No more missed deliveries or rearranged days off work.
### The Delivery Window Problem
You order something online. They say **"delivery between 8am and 6pm"** - which might as well be "sometime this week, maybe." You either take a day off work and they turn up at 5:55pm, or you risk missing it and they leave a **"sorry we missed you"** card.
For big purchases (sofas, white goods, expensive equipment), missing the delivery means rescheduling - and that might be weeks away. For elderly homeowners, the stress of watching for the delivery van all day is exhausting.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** This service pays for itself if it means you don't have to take a day's holiday from work just to sit at home waiting for a parcel.

### Why Not Just Have It Left With a Neighbor?
Sometimes that works. Sometimes it doesn't:
| ✅ Proper Delivery Service | ❌ Neighbor Favor | |---------------------------|-------------------| | I'm definitely there | Neighbor might be out too | | Check for damage before signing | They sign for anything | | Large items brought inside properly | Too awkward to ask neighbor | | You know exactly what happened | Find out hours later | | Professional service | Imposing on friendship |

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Multiple items arriving?** Ordered furniture from different suppliers all arriving the same day? I can coordinate all of them in one visit - saves you multiple waits. **Flat-pack assembly too?** If the delivery is furniture that needs building, I can stick around to assemble it. More efficient than two separate visits. **Old Exeter houses with difficult access?** If your property has narrow gates, steep drives, or awkward entry, I can help the delivery driver navigate it properly. Better than them dumping it at the end of your path because "it won't fit."
Frequently Asked Questions about Waiting for delivery in Exmouth
What happens if the delivery doesn't arrive in the time window?
I'll keep you updated if they're running late. If it doesn't show at all, you only pay for the time I was actually there waiting. I'm not going to charge you for a full day if the courier doesn't turn up.
Can you check the delivery for damage?
Yes - before signing, I'll check the packaging for obvious damage. If something looks wrong, I'll photograph it and either refuse delivery (if it's clearly damaged) or make notes on the delivery paperwork. You decide how cautious you want me to be.
Where do you put the delivery once it arrives?
Wherever you want - hallway, garage, specific room. For heavy items, I can help the delivery driver get it inside properly. Tell me where it should go when you book.
What if I need you for the whole day?
That gets expensive at my hourly rate. If the delivery window is genuinely 8am-6pm (thanks for nothing, courier companies), we can work out a day rate. But often they give you a better window closer to the day.
Can you deal with multiple deliveries on the same day?
Absolutely - if you're having furniture delivered and the electrician's coming to install something, I can receive both. Just let me know what to expect so I can coordinate properly.
