Tips for successful delivery

Verify all item dimensions, including diagonal measurements.
Walk the delivery route to check the key dimensions of passages, stairs, and turns, ensuring that items can pass through without any issues.
Confirm that ceiling heights along the delivery path are greater than 96 inches.
Consider low hanging light fixtures and roof overhangs.
Interior bannisters, railings and half-walls should be considered, as well as exterior fences or railings.
For buildings with elevators, measure elevator interior dimensions and ceiling height.
Consider if a small truck is required to fit in your driveway.
