What Is White Glove Delivery Service?

Here at Titan Transline, we are constantly working to add value for our customers, and one way we do that is white glove service! Our Account Managers pride themselves on providing exceptional service with the white glove touch, where you need it.

So, what is White Glove Service?

White glove service in the context of third-party logistics refers to high-touch, high-care handling and delivery services that exceed typical transportation standards. The term “white glove” suggests meticulous attention to detail, professionalism, and exceptional care — much like how museum curators handle valuable artifacts.

This service is typically used for delivering high-value, fragile, bulky, or installation-required products, such as medical equipment, electronics, computers, high value equipment and trade show materials. Businesses often request white glove service to reduce damages, deliver the product to its final resting place and to ensure a smooth final-mile delivery experience.

What White Glove Service Typically Includes

While the specific features may vary by provider and industry, white glove logistics services generally include:

1. Inside Delivery

Unlike standard curbside or dock deliveries, white glove services usually involve transporting the item directly into the customer’s location — whether that’s a home, office, or commercial facility.

White glove teams not only bring the item inside but also place it in the specific room or location designated by the customer. This can involve stairs, elevators, doorways or inside malls/storefronts.

The logistics team carefully unpacks the item, removes all packaging materials, and disposes of them properly, leaving the space clean and clutter-free.

4. Product Assembly or Installation

If the product requires setup — such as assembling furniture, connecting electronics, or installing equipment — white glove services often include these tasks, performed by trained professionals.

Delivery personnel and the purchaser may inspect the product together upon arrival to check for visible damage or defects before and after unpacking. This adds an extra layer of quality control and transparency.

6. Appointment Scheduling and Notifications

White glove delivery is typically scheduled in advance with specific time windows. Customers receive notifications and updates to ensure convenience and preparedness.

Every delivery is unique, so reach out to Titan’s experts to schedule your delivery!
