Office Furniture Delivery 101-II

A lot of things must be taken into consideration during the delivery of the office furnitures. One should be keen in discussing some pertinent matters regarding the delivery, especially when it comes to the additional charges, or extra fees in case of any change of plans on your side. Make sure that all things will be cleared with the furniture store representative before pushing through. Here are some topics you must discuss:

1-Assembly: While some delivery men are willing to assemble bookcases, level lateral files, or install bases on small tables after delivering the products—some may not. But if they do, it will be able to save you some money, so discuss this matter beforehand with the furniture store representative.

2- Cancellation charges: Take full note of the policy for delivery cancellations or delays with the furniture store representative because in certain occasions, cancellation fees may be required.


3- Budget: Additional charges may also add up to the budget, such as changing delivery to overtime from straight time. They can charge you for this.

4- Multiple deliveries: Make sure to discuss with the furniture store representative regarding the number of your pieces. Example, if you first asked for a one-time delivery and you must cancel it to have multiple delivery, make sure about the additional charges beforehand, because some can charge you for the change.

And when the delivery arrives, make sure to:

1- Sign off: Make sure to have a representative from your company to sign the delivery papers to ensure that it is the product that you want to be delivered. Inspect the pieces first before signing the office furniture delivery ticket, so that you may note the condition of the product.

After being briefed thoroughly with the matters at hand, all you have to do is to expect the package, but it would be better to assign some people help you to take care of it.
