You need a white-glove delivery service when you have to ship, store or keep track of expensive or bespoke items that are irreplaceable. If you buy or sell art, stage houses, or sets, or you’re moving an entire home of luxury goods across town or halfway across the world, white-glove delivery service is crucial for your items’ security and peace of mind. Forget about hiring movers that will dent, chip, break and misplace your most coveted things — only white-glove service will do.
The Different Levels of Delivery Service
For most things you buy, standard delivery is just that — standard. But they don’t tell you that your item could arrive damaged or broken, or not arrive at all, forcing a frantic search across the country for your item, and who knows where and when it’ll pop up and if it arrives intact at all. This type of delivery typically takes a week or two to reach its destination and may be augmented with some haphazard tracking that never seems to work right, but with such low fees, you can’t complain.
The next delivery service level is a courier or threshold service responsible for delivering your item and bringing the item across the threshold and into your home. Nothing remains on the sidewalk, your driveway, or in front of your door, waiting for an unscrupulous actor or the weather to do its worst.
On the far end of the spectrum, the pinnacle of delivery services is white-glove delivery. The utmost attention to detail and a commitment to excellence ensure that your item is looked after and cared for at each step, just like it never left your side. While this service costs a premium, the peace of mind is more than worth it, and once your item arrives, it’ll be carried inside, unpacked, and set up — all without you ever lifting a finger.
Even after a completed delivery, the white-glove delivery service doesn’t stop there. Any packing materials, boxes, crates, or secure assemblies will be disposed of, or you can keep it all for the next job if you wish.
When it comes to oversized freight or other difficult deliveries where damage is always an issue, the white-glove delivery service prevents the typical dings and scratches common with different delivery types. So you know your items will arrive on time and without harm. Furthermore, suppose you have sensitive goods that need the utmost discretion and care. In that case, secure delivery is an essential component of white-glove service and will be provided with the latest status of your items during every step of their journey.
If you plan to be out for a few days when scheduled to arrive, you can move forward with the delivery in your absence or hit pause and elect to store the item in a secure warehouse until the best time and place that works best for you. Remember that while every request will be honored, your additional fees will be an investment in the delivery integrity.
