Appliance delivery could be one of the worst experiences you will ever have. Google it now if you have a minute to be horrified.
Here is a story from our past to help you understand why.
It was 16 years ago but I remember like it was yesterday.

A client called me and said she was missing a wedding ring. She thought our installer had stolen it. After a long process, we recovered the ring and fired the party responsible. I thought it was the end.
However, shortly thereafter, a delivery team member stole a PlayStation out of a customer's garage. We recovered that as well.
I was shocked to find both people went on to find similar jobs at other companies.
About 15 years ago, we changed our delivery department as we needed a better, more qualified and responsible personnel. If delivery was going to be part of your experience then we needed someone who could actually fulfill that promise.
We first significantly raised the pay of every team member walking into your house, so they would value their job. BUT they would have to pass a CORI check first.
Along with random drug screenings and credit checks, CORI (the State offender screening) would help us ferret out violent offenders.
CORI and other safeguards significantly changed our service. However, you should be concerned with many more aspects of delivery like delivery windows and not being held hostage over removals.
We wrote this guide and at the front is a checklist of all the potential appliance delivery problems and how to overcome the many issues beforehand.
