Practical steps
- Ask the seller which carrier and whether delivery can be scheduled
- Check the carrier's size and weight limits for pick-up points
- Be home for delivery to avoid porch exposure
- Arrange a second person to carry
- Clear a path and storage space beforehand
Packaging
Plain outer boxes help (discreet packaging) but cannot hide a large box. Break down and recycle packaging discreetly.
Payment and records
Keep delivery confirmation and photos (unboxing checklist).

- Confirm the box dimensions and weight with the seller
- Ask the carrier for a delivery window or appointment
- Arrange for a helper and a cleared route inside
- Decide where the box will be opened and the packaging disposed of
- Prepare storage so the doll is not left in a hallway
What neighbours actually see
A large, heavy, plain box is noticeable, but so are many furniture and appliance deliveries. Discretion is about not drawing attention: schedule delivery, take the box in promptly and avoid leaving it outside (neighbours guide).
Shared buildings
In an apartment, check lift size and concierge rules. A doorman may sign for parcels; a private pick-up may be better. Ask the carrier whether delivery to a staffed depot is possible.
After delivery
Break down the box and dispose of it across more than one collection if appropriate, remove labels with your name and check the doll against the unboxing list.
