You can't really tell from just those measurements. Even if it's 39" high and your door is 36" it doesn't mean you can't get it in. You need to know the difference between the arms and the place where your but sits. Typically you can swing the couch around vertically and work it in successfully by putting one arm in at an angle and then the rest of it. It depends on the height of the door as well.
You can also take the door off the hinges to give you a little more room.

Since both your front door and your couch are standard size, I think you'll find getting it inside is no problem. Usually I have to turn the couch so the bottom rear is pointing straight up to get it through the door. It seems to have its narrowest width that way. Sometimes, though, having the rear wall of the couch level with the floor and on top makes the couch have its narrowest width. Don't worry. You'll figure it out.

I just remeasured our couches. They are 39" high and 41" deep. They are both sitting our living room and they came through a 36" door with the door still in place.
Remember the top edges of most couches are soft, so there is a little room in those dimensions to play with.
I don't think any reasonable furniture manufacturer would make a piece of furniture that wouldn't through a 36" door.

You might be surprised what professional and experienced furniture deliverers can do. Many times it is not the specific dimension of the furniture in relation to the doorway, but how they turn furniture at different angles, twist and manuver during the process to get something through.
If all else fails, you might want to be prepared to take the frame/molding strips off from the doorway--they should be in with nails--you can pry them off carefully...they can sometimes give you an extra 1/2 inch if that is all you need to get something through.
I would have faith that the movers will get it done though.

Just move anything near the door out of the way before they get there.
They will tip the sofa on it's end and rotate it through the doorway.
Unless they are new at it they have done it before. Don't try to help, you'll just be in the way.

Cold beer in the house, tell the delivery guys it's theirs if they get the couch through the door with no damage - I'm betting they'll find a way!

You can usually manuever the couch and manipulate the way it goes through -- like using different angles. A couch isn't a perfect rectangle, it has gaps and spaces. Sometimes you can tip it on end and put the back rest through first, followed by the legs. Also, if it has legs, they probably unscrew and you can remove them.

You can measure all you want, but the only real way is to try to put it through the door.
I used to move a lot of appliances at a job I had, and some of the pieces we thought wouldn't go in, went. So, just try it!
Good luck.
Stevo.

It will be a tight fit, but it will work, if you tilt it to where the couch is in a V shape when it goes through the door. I have done it. It will work.
