FAQ

How do I hold a parking spot for the delivery truck?

Save about 40 feet of curb — cones, trash barrels, or a couple of family cars you move when the truck arrives all work. On a tight city street, that open stretch is the difference between a clean curbside drop and a reschedule, since the truck needs room to line up and raise its bed. No space usually means a curbside attempt and a free reschedule, which costs you a day.

The city-street playbook

  • Set cones the night before, or park your own cars there and move them on arrival
  • Describe the exact spot at checkout — "in front of #12" beats "out front"
  • The driver calls or texts about 15 minutes out, so last-minute moves are easy
