White Glove Transportation Services in Provo, UT, From the Loading Dock to the Point of Use
White glove is one of the most abused phrases in freight. Used correctly it means something specific: the item is transported in protected equipment, brought inside the building, placed where it will actually be used, unpacked and inspected in front of the customer, set up or assembled, and every scrap of packaging departs with the crew. That's the standard Redman Van & Storage holds for white glove transportation in Provo, and it is the standard our crews have been trained to since long before the term was coined.

The Detail Many Providers Overlook
In Provo, white glove service is a labor product, not an equipment product. It succeeds or fails on who walks through the door: whether they put on floor protection, whether they know how to guide a 400-pound casegood around a stair turn without brushing the wall, whether they call ahead, and whether they conduct themselves like a guest in someone's home or business. Our crews are professionally trained, background-checked Redman Van & Storage employees, not day labor sourced for the delivery.

FAQs
What's the key difference between white glove delivery and threshold delivery?
Threshold delivery ends just inside the front entrance or the first dry area. White glove delivery continues to the room and spot where the item will be used, and also includes unpacking, inspection, assembly or setup, and removal of all packaging. Curbside service, the third common tier, concludes at the truck.
Do you haul away packaging and old items?
Yes. All cartons, crating, and protective materials are taken away by the crew and are recycled whenever possible. Removal and disposal of an existing item, an old appliance, desk, or piece of equipment, can be included when it is arranged in advance.
Are you able to deliver to upper floors when there's no elevator?
Yes, with preparation. Stair carries, tight turns, and narrow entries are noted during the walk-through so the crew size, equipment, and time allowance are correct. Sometimes hoisting or partial disassembly is the correct method, and we determine that before the delivery date rather than at the door.
