Do you have a precious and fragile item or items that need to be delivered somewhere? Have you been wracking your brain trying to figure out how to get this done with as little risk to that shipment as possible? It’s not easy to give up control of something that you know can easily be destroyed, especially when you have a strong interest in seeing it delivered. Large, commercial shippers are not necessarily a solution, as you can’t imagine your item being stuffed in a box and thrown onto a truck or plane, where it will bounce around for days.

So what do you do? You find a white-glove delivery service that takes extra care of your item or items, and at that point, you can rest easier knowing that your shipment will arrive safely and, perhaps almost as importantly, on time. Is the entire notion of white-glove moving and shipping unfamiliar to you? You’re far from alone, AirSea Packing provides a nationwide white-glove logistics service that’s been helping customers get their precious cargo delivered for more than 50 years. We’re going to explain how white-glove delivery works below.

What Is White-Glove Delivery?

We are all familiar with basic shipping and delivery. We put an item in a box, we send it off via that carrier’s service model, and a delivery driver drops it off – sometimes literally – at the destination. That’s not at all what white-glove delivery is about. With white-glove service, you can choose from several options, including:

Having the item or items packed for you
Having your items picked up by appointment
Having the delivery team place the items in the room or rooms you choose
Having the delivery team unpack the items and return all packaging materials to their correct recycling stream.

The word “teams” is important above, because that’s one of the main differences between everyday shipping and white-glove delivery. White glove service means that two people are working together, handling the item or items very carefully to be sure that the risk to that shipment is minimized as much as possible. Basically, the difference between common shipping methods and white-glove delivery is the same as the difference between fast food and a high-end, sit-down restaurant.

AirSea Packing and White-Glove Delivery

White-glove moving is something that is a step up from regular shipping, but even within the white-glove delivery market, you can find differences between services. AirSea Packing has been serving our clients as a nationwide white-glove delivery service since 1966. For more than 50 years, we have successfully cared for and delivered precious items across the United States and into different parts of the world. In this industry, it doesn’t take long to earn a negative reputation, so the fact that we’ve been handling white-glove delivery for so long speaks for itself.

If you’d like to learn more about how we can help you move precious items safely, feel free to request a quote and we’ll help you with whatever information we can provide before getting started. We look forward to earning your trust and loyalty as we have with so many others.
