Quick answer

Start from the venue, not the furniture list

Accept delivery by zone against the written list, condition standard, dimensions and setup plan while there is still time to correct discrepancies.

Details to settle first

  • Prepare vehicle access, receiving contact, count sheet, floor plan, labels, protection requirements and a holding area for unresolved pieces.
  • Check identity, count, visible condition, stability and placement before signing; photograph discrepancies with the item label and zone.
  • Close with one accepted-count record, unresolved list, agreed correction owner and collection-ready condition record.

Decision notes specific to Event furniture delivery and setup-day checklist

Set up receiving before the truck arrives — count sheet, floor plan, labels, a holding area — so checking happens while there is still time to correct it.

Accept zone by zone against the written list: identity, count, condition, stability and placement, photographing any discrepancy with its label.

Close the day with one accepted-count record and an agreed owner for anything unresolved, so collection starts from a known state.
