This service from a major home improvement retailer involves the placement of purchased items just inside a customer’s home, typically the first dry area such as a garage or foyer. For instance, a homeowner ordering new appliances may opt for this level of service to have the items brought beyond the front porch, but not fully installed.
The offering provides a balance between standard delivery options and premium in-home services. It addresses the need for convenience when items are too large or heavy for the customer to easily manage themselves. This approach has evolved as retailers seek to improve customer satisfaction and adapt to the increasing demand for e-commerce fulfillment solutions within the home improvement sector.
