3 Pro Tips for White Glove Shipping
Not All White Glove Services Are Created Equal
Just because a carrier offers White Glove service doesn’t mean they specialize in your type of freight. Pros know to match their shipment with a provider experienced in their industry—like medical, hospitality, or retail installs. That’s where FreightCenter shines: we match you with carriers who actually do it right.
The Small Details Make or Break the Delivery
Stairs. Narrow hallways. Limited delivery windows. Residential drop-offs. Pros plan for every detail ahead of time—because a smooth White Glove delivery requires more than just a truck and a smile. FreightCenter’s team asks the right questions before the quote is booked to avoid surprises.
It’s Worth Every Penny When Reputation Is On the Line
White Glove shipping isn’t just about moving freight—it’s about protecting brand image, customer experience, and your bottom line. Whether you're delivering high-end furnishings to a luxury hotel or setting up tech displays in a retail store, pros know: the added cost of White Glove service is far less than the cost of a damaged delivery or poor impression.
