The term “full packing” means that White Glove will provide home packing services for the entire contents of your home, including your moving boxes. If you are interested in full packing services, we strongly recommend that you allow one of our friendly, knowledgeable, and professional sales representatives to come out to your home for a free in-home estimate. He will walk through the home with you as you point out to him the items that are being moved and the items that are staying. We recommend an in-home estimate for a full-packing quote because the price fluctuation from inaccurate full-packing quotes can be substantial if not done properly.

Across the street or across the nation White Glove Moving does it all!

White Glove Moving does offer guaranteed delivery options. Please speak with your sales professional to see if that option is available for your area and to inquire about pricing.

All long-distance moves are assigned a delivery coordinator once the shipment is picked up. The coordinator will work with you to review your first available date for delivery; your shipment will then be guaranteed to arrive within the agreed delivery window. You will be informed along the way of any and all updates available.
White Glove Moving delivers on time and on budget!

White Glove does not move vehicles; we do refer our clients to reputable car carriers.

Unfortunately, your loved pet may not be carried in the moving truck. For the safety of your pets, please make necessary arrangements for their transportation. If you need guidance on pet transport, our client services team is ready to assist and provide suggestions on alternative ways to ensure your pets’ safe journey. Check out our helpful article.

Gas tanks and Propane tanks should not be transported. Any equipment that has fuel in it (like lawnmowers, weed whackers, etc) should have the gas emptied prior to the arrival of our New York moving company.

While we are highly trained in moving services, we are not licensed electricians or plumbing professionals. Our client services team members are available to help you find the right licensed professional for the job or are able to coordinate the service on your behalf. Please speak to your sales associate for more information and pricing.

Thank you for asking! Tipping is a personal decision and our movers always appreciate your generosity. The average tip is between $50 – $100 per day per mover.

White Glove Moving is fully licensed and insured. (Client’s shipments are subject to separate coverage, see coverage section below!)

Coverage for your shipment in the moving industry can be a tricky subject and many movers are happy to skew the truth to make clients feel better before moving. The truth about what ANY moving company can offer you is below.
Valuation Coverage: Any moving company without you purchasing anything additional is required to provide each move with valuation coverage. Moves within the state of New Jersey have a standard valuation of $1.00 per lb. per item, $0.60 per lb. per item for long-distance moving, and $0.30 per lb. per item for moves within the state of NY.
Full Value Protection: Full Value Protection (FVP) allows your moving company to repair or replace your items with something of similar aesthetic value and functionality. Should you wish to purchase FVP, please check with your sales associate for pricing or feel free to refer to your order for service.
A third option, which is the most comprehensive and the best possible option for your shipment, is to hire a third-party insurance company. Our recommendation is Baker International.
