Use package dimensions, not showroom dimensions
The assembled wardrobe or bed size does not show how many cartons need collecting. List every package, its longest dimension and available weight information. Include smaller fittings packs and accessories. Tell us about any item sold assembled, as that needs a different inventory from boxed flat-pack furniture.
Plan ikea collection at your Bishop's Cleeve address
For a centre-of-village flat or a seller collection, measure the narrowest doorway, stairs and longest carrying section. Check the seller’s release time before arranging another collection; a nearby public car park does not provide consent to use a private entrance.
Match the inventory to the actual carrying and preparation work. Tell us which items need help, whether you want packing or dismantling, and who will provide access at each property.
- For ikea collection, prepare: confirmed collection location; every package and its size; order release arrangements.
- Distinguish a residential front door, a shop’s goods entrance and a community venue’s unloading point. Give the actual receiving contact, not just a landmark in the village centre.
Confirm the order can be released
Check the retailer’s current collection instructions yourself and confirm that the order is ready. Explain any collection appointment, authorisation or paperwork required. Do not assume there is an IKEA collection point in Bishop's Cleeve; provide the real address and postcode. Agree transport availability before committing to a collection slot.
Plan delivery into your home
- Measure access for the longest carton and identify the destination floor.
- Keep unpacking and assembly separate unless those tasks have been agreed.
- Confirm the order and receiving arrangements before the transport booking.
