Why should I choose 'In-Home' Delivery?
This delivery option is best when you’re delivering larger orders that require professional handling and placement or if you prefer not to handle heavy or bulky items yourself. A delivery driver will bring your order into your home and place it in one room of your choice.
Cost considerations: Generally priced higher than 'Doorstep Delivery', with the exact fee calculated at checkout based on your specific delivery address and order details. The starting delivery price for this service is $39.
Timing and scheduling factors: You’ll receive a choice between three 4‑hour delivery windows on your chosen delivery date. If you will not be at home, you can select 'Authority to Leave' at checkout, and your items will be left in a safe and secure location at your home.
Item size and type restrictions: Ideal for larger, bulky items (e.g. sofas, wardrobes, or kitchen appliances) that might be challenging to move yourself.
Location/distance factors: Appropriate for homes with accessible entry points, including apartments with elevator or a safe stairway (note any restrictions such as up to third level of the building if no elevator is available). See the terms and conditions for more details.
Customer effort required: Minimal effort is required on your part since the delivery driver handles the heavy lifting inside to one room of your choice. This can include bringing the items upstairs if necessary to your chosen room.

This delivery option is best if you prefer the flexibility of not committing to an in-home service, as these orders are delivered to the front door of your home or building/foyer if you live in apartment. 'Authority to Leave' is automatically applied to your order, meaning the delivery driver will leave your order in a safe and secure location if you’re not at home.
