Unpacking
The removal of packaging materials and the careful handling of items during the delivery and assembly process.
Example
A white glove delivery team brings a large, flat-packed wardrobe to a customer's bedroom. They carefully remove the cardboard, foam, and plastic wrapping materials, ensuring that all components are accounted for and undamaged before proceeding with the assembly and installation process.
