How are while glove/VIP moving companies different from standard moving companies?
White glove/VIP moving companies in Brooklyn take a number of extra measures for protecting the items they transport, which standard moving companies don’t. For instance, they have the best padded moving trucks to safeguard your items against everything from scratches, gouges, to breakages. The padding which is attached to the trucks’ walls helps prevent the items from colliding with each other, & offer shock absorption during a bumpy travel. In short, the attention-to-detail provided by white glove/VIP movers is simply incomparable.
Standard moving companies typically focus on moving things as fast as possible, that sometimes results in your valuables getting damaged or lost. However, that’s not the case with white glove moving companies.
One of the other downsides of standard moving companies is that they may not be equipped to move all kinds of items. For example, they may not have the right packaging or moving supplies for safe handling of bulkier items, such as pianos, hot tubs, etc. Therefore, you cannot risk damaging these expensive items by letting a standard moving company handle them.
White glove movers – Packing service
Packing is one of the most challenges tasks when it comes to moving.

If you have a lot of stuff to move including some expensive and valuable items, you can trust white glove movers to do a flawless job with packing it all.
To ensure zero damage to your belongings, they use high-quality packing supplies, including:
Boxes – small, medium, large, and extra large – As you would be moving items of different sizes, they bring high-quality packing boxes in all sizes – small, medium, large, extra large, & wardrobe boxes.
Packing Tape – As it is important to properly seal the boxes so they don’t open during loading and unloading, they also get a good quality, durable tape.
Packing Paper – Next they make use of plenty of packing paper to safely wrap your sharp and fragile items, & provide extra cushioning as well as stability to them in the boxes.
Plastic Wrap – Standard moving companies give packing materials like plastic wrap a miss; however white glove companies don’t. They understand how useful a plastic wrap can be for packing certain items like a stack of plates, which you want to keep together so that they do not shift around in other boxes during the move.
Bubble Wrap – They also use bubble cushioning to protect your fragile items during the move, especially those that are made of ceramic, porcelain, and glass. The sealed air pockets help protect the fragile items from breaking no matter how long the trip is.
They have bubble wrap in all sizes – small, medium, & large. Small bubble wrap is used for small items while the large, anti-static one is for big items.
Protective Wraps & Corner Protectors – In addition to the above mentioned supplies, they have protective wraps made of shock-absorbing materials that work well for keeping the fragile items safe during the move. Besides that, they have corner protectors to help prevent damage to the walls and furniture edges. Big furniture items, like beds, wardrobes, sofas, etc do not fit into containers, & their edges can easily scrape against the walls during loading and unloading. However, the scrapes & scratches can be easily prevented by using corner protectors that cover the furniture edges.
Apart from carefully wrapping & packing your valuables, white glove moving professionals also inventory them so that you can easily find them during the move.
