How does 'In The Home' Delivery work?

Provide detailed delivery instructions, select your preferred delivery day, and confirm your order. You'll receive a confirmation email and SMS with delivery details, and on delivery day, ensure clear access and that someone over 18 is present. The driver will place items in your specified room.
