In white-glove delivery with Maersk Ground Freight, what is the difference between 'Assembly' and 'Installation'?

In white-glove delivery with Maersk Ground Freight, assembly involves putting together goods that do not require utility connections (e.g., attaching legs to a sofa, building a bed frame, setting up a game table), while installation involves connecting an appliance to the home's utilities or mounting fixtures (e.g., water lines for a washing machine, gas lines for a dryer, or mounting a TV).

Installation scope may require additional training or regional capability and must be defined in the service agreement. With Maersk Ground Freight's white-glove services, both assembly and installation may be supported depending on the agreed service level and regional capability.
