More than a delivery
White glove service is a standard, not a shipping option.
White glove service is a premium, high-touch delivery standard that goes far beyond curbside drop-off. It covers dedicated receiving, protective handling, scheduled delivery, room-of-choice placement, assembly, installation, and full packaging removal — handled by trained crews and managed as one accountable service.
Anyone can move a box. White glove service means the piece, the property, and the client are protected at every step — carefully received, wrapped, transported, placed, and installed, with every crate and blanket carried back out the door.

Learn moreWhat white glove service costs
Priced by the project, not by the box.
White glove service is quoted per project because no two are alike. A single room-of-choice delivery costs far less than a multi-item install with crating, storage, and long-distance transport. Your quote reflects the real scope of the work.
- Item value, fragility, size, and weight
- Access at pickup and delivery — stairs, elevators, long carries, or hoisting
- Assembly, installation, mounting, or art hanging
- Distance, and whether storage or consolidation is needed
- Timing, appointment windows, and crew size
- Packing, custom crating, and packaging removal
Frequently asked questions
White glove service, explained.
What does white glove service mean?
White glove service is a premium delivery standard for high-value, fragile, or oversized items. Beyond simply dropping off a shipment, it includes dedicated receiving, protective handling, room-of-choice placement, assembly, installation, and removal of all packaging — managed as one accountable service.
What are examples of white glove service?
Delivering and installing designer furniture in the room of choice; receiving and inspecting a shipment before it reaches the client; crating and transporting fine art or an antique; assembling and placing a complete interior; or hanging chandeliers and mirrors — each with packaging removed and the space left clean.
How is white glove service different from standard delivery?
Standard delivery ends at the door, driveway, or threshold. White glove service carries the item to the room of choice, unpacks and assembles it, installs or places it exactly where it belongs, and removes all packaging and debris.
How much does white glove service cost?
White glove service is quoted per project. Pricing depends on the item's value and size, access at both ends, whether assembly or installation is required, distance, storage needs, and timing. Simple room-of-choice deliveries sit at the lower end; multi-item installs with crating, storage, or long-distance transport cost more. Request a quote for exact pricing on your project.
What are the drawbacks of white glove service?
It costs more than curbside or threshold delivery because it includes handling, placement, installation, and packaging removal, and it works by scheduled appointment rather than a quick drop-off. For low-value, easily handled items, standard delivery may be all you need — white glove is worth it when an item's value, fragility, or installation requirements justify the added care.
What industries use white glove service?
Interior designers, art galleries and collectors, hotels and hospitality, luxury retail and showrooms, office furniture dealers, healthcare and medical, real estate, and private households all rely on white glove service for high-value, delicate, or installation-heavy deliveries.
Do you offer white glove service nationwide?
Yes. We coordinate white glove service across major U.S. markets through regional hubs and a vetted partner network, with one point of contact managing your project end to end.
What items are a good fit for white glove service?
High-value, fragile, oversized, or project-critical pieces — furniture, fine art, antiques, pianos, chandeliers, electronics and AV, and full interiors.
