Transport and delivery: Website for delivery and assembly operators
A website for delivery and assembly operators that explains per item type what delivery with assembly includes, what the customer needs to arrange at home and where the service stops.
What visitors want to know from delivery and assembly operators.
Delivery and assembly operators often work for furniture shops, kitchen suppliers and online retailers, but consumers search for them too. They want to know whether a wardrobe will actually be assembled, whether a box spring goes up to the second floor without a lift and whether the packaging is taken away. The site often only says that delivery and assembly are available. That a tall wardrobe needs fixing to the wall, that a washing machine is put in place but not connected to a new tap, or that an old sofa is only removed if agreed in advance, stays unclear. Those questions then land with customer service or with the fitters at the door.

Explain services per item type
Wardrobes, beds, dining tables, white goods and garden furniture each get their own explanation: what is placed, what is assembled and what is not. Each type lists the preparation needed, such as a clear wall or a socket nearby. A visitor knows beforehand what the crew will and will not do.
Describe delivery situations honestly
The site describes situations that affect delivery: a narrow stairwell, no lift, paid parking outside or an item that has to come in through a window. For each one it says what the customer can do and when the company will get in touch beforehand. That avoids surprises on the day itself.
Separate retailers and consumers
A shop or online retailer wanting to outsource assembly looks for something different from a consumer preparing for their delivery. The site has its own entrance for each: business, with an explanation of how to work together and send orders, and private, with a checklist for home and a link to the status of their own delivery.
Connected to your software.
Delivery and assembly operators often have a site with a general services page, alongside instructions that retailers email to their own customers. Those instructions differ per shop and sometimes contradict each other. The website brings the general terms for delivery and assembly together in one place, and retailers can link to it. The operator owns what the crew does and does not do; the retailer remains owner of product information and terms of sale.
General explanation or per retailer
One general explanation of delivery and assembly is easy to maintain, but retailers sometimes have their own arrangements, such as assembly included at one shop and charged at another. A page per retailer makes that clear, but needs more upkeep. Many operators combine a general explanation with a short addition per retailer.
Speak to consumers or only businesses
If you only work for shops, the site can stay businesslike. Yet consumers still arrive through the confirmation email or a search, with questions about their delivery. A clear entrance for consumers stops them ringing customer service for information the site could have given them, and takes pressure off the shop as well.
State limits upfront or at the door
Clearly stating what the crew does not do, such as running electrics or drilling into a wall with pipes, can feel negative. But a consumer who only hears it at the door is disappointed and calls the shop. Naming it upfront, with a pointer to who can do it, works better for everyone involved.

Read the storyWhat goes on the website.
We build a page per item type that shows what delivery and assembly do and do not include, an explanation of delivery situations such as floor level, lift and parking, and separate entrances for retailers and consumers. Before the site goes live, we read the copy together against two real situations: a consumer having a wardrobe delivered and assembled in a family house, and someone on an upper floor without a lift who is expecting a corner sofa. Additions per retailer and a page about removing old furniture go up once that copy is ready.
View pricingHosting and careGood to know.
Explore pricing and optionsShould our site list prices for assembly?
That depends on who the customer is. If you work for shops that charge assembly themselves, prices are better shown by that shop. If you also work directly for consumers, explaining what drives the price, such as assembly time and floor level, helps more than an amount that often differs in practice.
How do we explain that we do not connect some items?
By naming it per item type: we place the dishwasher and level it, but do not connect new pipework. Mention who can, for example an installer. The consumer then knows to arrange it separately and does not expect it from the crew.
What should the site say about damage to walls or floors?
Explain how the crew works to prevent damage, such as floor protection and blankets, and what the consumer should do if something happens anyway. For liability, refer to your terms or the retailer's, without making promises yourself that are not in them.
Can consumers change their delivery slot through the site?
They can make a request through the site or go to the page for their own delivery, if there is one. The change itself goes through planning, because a two-person crew and a trip window cannot simply be moved. The site explains until when a change is possible.
