What are white glove movers?

Posted on Tue, Jan 13, 2015

The purchase of a new home can be very stressful. When you add to it all the packing, moving and unpacking, it can all seem overwhelming. Most of us are short on time and the last thing we want to do after a long day is sort through our belongings and pack items away for our new home. Of course then there are items that we need to throw away, and some items that we want to donate to charity. Valuables and breakables can be even more daunting as you have to wrap each item and label the boxes accordingly. You want to make sure that whoever is moving the boxes with you knows those are fragile items that need to be handled carefully.

 

White glove movers are the highest level of moving companies that a person can pick to complete a variety of tasks associated with their move. White glove movers can complete the following tasks for you: crating, packing, loading, unloading, and unpacking.

Large Items

Typically when you move you would usually put your big furniture items in a truck and drive away. This is not necessarily a favorable choice if you want to keep your items in perfect condition. A reputable white glove moving company will blanket wrap your large items to ensure they are protected from being damaged. Wood can easily get scratched or dented so it is important that your large items receive the treatment that your small breakables would as well.

Packing

If you have been living in your current home for any length of time you know how much stuff you can accumulate. If you have already sorted through most of your items and still have a lot to take with you, you should consider allowing movers to pack your items for you. They will take great care with each of your items and breakables will be wrapped and boxed so they do not break during their transport. If you are taking on this job yourself you may find you start to slack with the wrapping and packing of items because you are getting tired.

Loading

Boxes and crates are moved carefully by white glove movers. A lot can happen to an item on its way from your old home to the moving truck and then into your new location. Items should be properly wrapped or packed and then skillfully moved from one location to the next.
