Timing and delivery address deserve attention.
Work backward from access
Confirm when you will have keys, whether building deliveries are allowed, and where boxes can be held. Do not schedule a large delivery before the room is cleared and measured. A compressed sofa may be easier to receive as parcels, but check whether pieces arrive on different days.
Protect the decision
Moving is expensive, so set a furniture budget that includes shipping and an imperfect first choice. Measure the new room rather than copying the old sofa's dimensions. Save return terms and inspect arrival promptly, even if you cannot style the room yet. Do not let an address change consume the whole return window.
A sofa can wait a week; an unmeasured purchase may follow you for years.
