What Is White Glove Delivery?
Beyond the threshold — premium handling from truck to room of choice
White glove delivery goes far beyond standard curbside or threshold drop-off. It is a premium logistics service where trained professionals carry items inside the building, place them in the exact room or location specified, unpack and inspect everything, assemble furniture or equipment if required, and remove all packaging debris when finished. The recipient does not lift a finger.
This service is essential for high-value items like medical equipment, office furniture systems, electronics, artwork, and appliances where standard freight delivery is not sufficient. White glove delivery is also the standard for government and corporate office installations where everything must be placed precisely according to floor plans and operational requirements.
Continental TDS brings the same discipline and attention to detail to white glove delivery that defines all our services. Our uniformed, background-checked crews treat every delivery location—whether a private residence, a corporate headquarters, or a military installation—with respect and professionalism.
