What Is White Glove Moving?

White glove moving is a premium, detail-driven moving service designed to handle your home and belongings with exceptional care. It goes beyond basic loading and transportation by adding high-end packing, specialty protection, careful handling of delicate and valuable items, and optional unpacking and setup support.

The goal is simple: reduce stress and risk while delivering a move that feels organized, controlled, and respectful of your space. With Star Van Lines, white glove moving prioritizes planning, protective methods, and trained crews who treat every item as if it were their own.

What’s Included in a White Glove Move with Star Van Lines

White glove service is all about doing the small things right—because those “small things” are what prevent damage, delays, and frustration. Star Van Lines designs a white glove plan around your home, your inventory, and your expectations.

Premium Packing & Materials

A white glove move typically includes careful packing techniques and premium-grade materials chosen for real protection—not shortcuts.

Common packing elements may include:

• High-quality cartons sized for your items
• Protective wrapping for glass, décor, and breakables
• Extra padding and corner protection for furniture
• Organized labeling for easier unpacking and placement

If you want to pack only certain areas (kitchen, art, fragile décor) and handle the rest yourself, Star Van Lines can tailor a partial packing plan—so you pay for the precision where it matters most.

Custom Protection & Crating for Fragile Items

Some pieces need more than standard packing. White glove movers often rely on advanced protection for items that are delicate, oversized, rare, or high value.

Depending on your inventory, Star Van Lines can provide:

• Enhanced wrapping and cushioning methods
• Protection for fine furniture surfaces and edges
• Custom crating options for select fragile or valuable items
• Structured handling plans for items that cannot tolerate vibration or pressure

This is especially helpful for mirrors, sculptures, chandeliers, collectors’ pieces, and specialty décor.

Furniture Disassembly, Assembly & Placement

A white glove move isn’t “drop at the door.” It’s designed for accuracy—so your home is functional faster.

Typical services may include:

• Disassembly for large furniture (beds, tables, shelving where appropriate)
• Secure packing of hardware and components
• Reassembly at delivery
• Thoughtful placement based on your room plan

If you already know where key pieces should go, Star Van Lines can follow your instructions and help you feel “moved in” sooner.

Specialty Item Handling

White glove movers are chosen for the items most people worry about the most. Star Van Lines can coordinate specialty handling for items such as:

• Art and antiques
• High-value furniture and designer pieces
• Fragile glass and décor collections
• Pianos and select oversized items (service availability depends on item details)
• Electronics and delicate equipment handling (as requested)

Specialty items are planned in advance—so your crew arrives prepared with the right materials and approach.

Optional Add-Ons

White glove moving can be expanded based on your preferences, timeline, and comfort level. Optional add-ons may include:

• Packing for specific rooms (kitchen, closets, fragile décor)
• Unpacking support (by request)
• Debris removal for used packing materials (when arranged)
• Short-term storage coordination, if your timeline requires it

Because white glove is customized, Star Van Lines builds a plan around your needs rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all package.

What’s not included by default: White glove service can vary by move type and location. Specialty crating, full unpacking, storage, and highly specialized installations are typically available by request and confirmed during your estimate. The best way to get a precise scope is to request a free quote calculation and review your tailored plan.

Who Should Hire White Glove Movers?

White glove moving is ideal when the cost of “basic” is too high—because damage, stress, or downtime isn’t acceptable. You should consider Star Van Lines white glove movers if you identify with any of these scenarios:

• You have high-value furniture, designer pieces, or delicate finishes
• You’re moving artwork, antiques, mirrors, sculptures, or collectibles
• You need full-service packing or premium packing for select rooms
• Your schedule is tight and you want an organized, managed process
• You’re relocating for work and prefer a concierge-style experience
• You’re downsizing and need careful handling and a smoother transition
• You want a move that minimizes disruptions for kids, family, or daily routines

If your move requires higher standards—white glove is often the most efficient way to protect what matters and reduce decision fatigue.

White Glove vs. Standard Moving — Key Differences

Standard moving is designed to transport boxes and furniture safely under normal conditions. White glove moving is built for precision, extra protection, and premium handling.

With white glove moving, you typically get:

• Higher attention to packing quality and protective materials
• More planning and inventory coordination
• Better suitability for fragile and high-value items
• More support on delivery (placement, reassembly, optional unpacking)

Standard moving may be enough for simple moves with mostly boxed items and minimal specialty needs. White glove becomes the better fit when you want maximum protection, fewer variables, and a more seamless arrival day.

How the White Glove Process Works

A premium move should feel predictable. Star Van Lines follows a step-by-step process designed to reduce surprises and keep your move controlled.

1) Inventory / Survey & Free Quote Calculation

Everything starts with details. Your estimate becomes more accurate when your mover understands:

• How much you’re moving (volume and item types)
• What needs specialty handling or extra protection
• Access conditions (stairs, elevators, parking, long carry)
• Your timeline and preferred service level

Star Van Lines uses that information to provide a free quote calculation with a clear outline of what’s included and what’s optional.

2) Move Plan & Schedule

White glove moving is planned—not improvised. Before move day, Star Van Lines coordinates:

• Packing schedule (full or partial)
• Required materials (premium packing, specialty protection, crating if needed)
• Crew needs and handling strategy for sensitive pieces
• Delivery timing and placement expectations

This planning stage is what makes white glove feel calm and organized.

3) Careful Packing, Labeling & Protection

On packing day, the goal is to protect items and simplify delivery:

• Fragile items receive structured wrapping and cushioning
• Furniture is protected for transit
• Boxes are labeled and grouped for easier placement
• Specialty pieces are prepared with appropriate protection methods

Good packing reduces damage risk and makes unpacking more efficient.

4) Loading, Transport & Communication

During loading and transport, trained movers focus on:

• Secure loading patterns to reduce movement in transit
• Protecting high-value pieces from pressure and abrasion
• Clear communication so you know what to expect and when

For long-distance moves, timing and coordination matter—white glove emphasizes controlled logistics and fewer surprises.

5) Delivery, Unpacking, Setup & Debris Removal

Delivery is where white glove stands out. Depending on your plan, Star Van Lines can:

• Place furniture in designated rooms
• Reassemble key furniture items
• Provide unpacking support (when arranged)
• Remove packing debris (when requested)

If you want a “walk in and live” experience, you can build your white glove plan around that goal.

How Pricing for White Glove Moving Is Calculated

White glove moving is a premium service, and pricing reflects the level of labor, materials, and planning involved. The most common cost factors include:

• Move size and inventory complexity (more fragile and high-value items require more labor)
• Distance (local vs. long-distance moving)
• Packing intensity (full-service packing vs. partial packing)
• Specialty items (art, antiques, large mirrors, pianos, custom pieces)
• Access conditions (stairs, elevators, long carries, tight parking)
• Custom crating needs (if required for select items)
• Storage requirements (short-term or in-transit storage, when needed)
• Coverage/valuation options (based on your preference and move scope)

The best way to understand your cost is not with a generic price range, but with a tailored estimate that reflects your exact inventory and service level. Request a free quote calculation from Star Van Lines and get a clear, item-aware estimate that matches your priorities.
