What is White Glove Delivery?
White glove delivery is a high-touch final-mile service for furniture and handling-sensitive freight that goes beyond curbside drop-off. A crew carries the item into the room where it will be used, provides light assembly where that is in scope, removes the packaging before leaving, and captures proof of delivery at handoff. Transpac coordinates white glove delivery from its Vancouver and Toronto operations and through qualified partner networks, so furniture arriving as import cargo can move from container devanning through warehouse staging to in-home placement under a single plan. It fits furniture retailers, direct-to-consumer furniture programs, and any shipment where last-mile damage would cost more than the delivery itself.
How Transpac handles it
Transpac aligns transloading, transportation, and fulfillment planning with white-glove delivery requirements. In key lanes, delivery can be coordinated through Transpac-managed operations and qualified partner networks to support a consistent service standard where available.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear operational answers for importers evaluating Vancouver transloading, bonded, and sufferance options.
What is white glove delivery?
White glove delivery is a high-touch final-mile service that goes beyond standard drop-off and may include in-home placement, setup support, and packaging removal.
What furniture types can your white glove service handle?
White glove workflows can support chairs, loveseats, sofas, sectional pieces, and other handling-sensitive furniture categories, depending on shipment dimensions and service requirements.
Can you provide in-home placement and assembly support?
In-home placement and light assembly support can be provided where included in the service scope for the destination lane.
Can white glove delivery be coordinated with transloading and fulfillment workflows?
Yes. White glove delivery can be aligned with upstream transloading, transportation, and fulfillment stages to improve end-to-end handoff quality.
Does Transpac offer white glove delivery in all regions?
Transpac delivers directly in the Metro Vancouver and Greater Toronto areas from its own operations in those two hubs, and extends coverage to other Canadian markets through qualified partner networks. Destinations outside the two hub regions are confirmed lane by lane based on shipment profile and scheduling capacity.
Do you guarantee specific delivery windows across Canada?
An appointment window is arranged with the receiver and confirmed before dispatch on every white glove delivery. What Transpac does not offer is a single fixed nationwide standard — windows are set per lane and service level, because transit into destinations served through partner networks depends on that partner's scheduling.
