How can we get a shed delivered when we live in a terraced house?

[strawberryredhead]

We bought a bike shed (not a large one, fairly small). My dh ordered it so I don’t know all the details but I know they didn’t ask anything about access. It’s one you have to build once you get it so I assumed it could be delivered through our front door as we live in a terraced house. But the guy delivering said he couldn’t, the package was too large, so I had to just send him away I just find it bizarre that the company didn’t find out about access - loads of people live in terraced houses, it’s hardly unusual, you’d think they’d find out before wasting their time and ours! Or maybe my dh should’ve done more to find out. I’m just wondering - how then do people buy sheds who live in terraced houses?? The websites I’ve looked on don’t mention anything about delivery and I tried googling it in general and came up with nothing.

Totally normal to have no access to the back garden except through the house in London terraces.

You order things like bike shed flat pack, then you can carry them through piece by piece if the entire package is too large. You’d probably have been able to get that bike shed through if you’d had someone else at home to help.

My dad lives on a terraced street. No back access. He had a large tree cut at the back.
You can imagine the mess right through the house!
