Apartment pickup goes smoothly when the crew knows the floor, elevator rules, doorway width, and loading location before arrival.
Tell the crew where the item starts
Give the building type, floor, elevator availability, and approximate distance to the entrance. Mention controlled-access doors, loading docks, parking limits, or a front desk check-in.
Check the building rules
Ask management whether a service elevator, certificate of insurance, moving pad, or reserved time is required. These rules belong to the building, not the whole city, so confirm them for your address.
Plan for the mattress to stay clean and dry
Do not leave a mattress in rain or snow while waiting for pickup. If the building requires curbside placement, confirm the exact timing so the item spends as little time outside as possible.
What to send with your request
A useful request includes the item count, sizes, floor, elevator status, preferred timing, and two or three photos showing the mattress and tightest part of the route.
