**TRE Dictionary**

## White Glove

**White glove** is a service label generally used to describe a higher-touch level of handling, communication, protection, setup, or delivery.

### In plain English

It suggests premium care, but the phrase has no single universal operating definition across every mover and service provider.

### Why it matters

Customers may expect special packing, room placement, assembly, debris removal, appointment precision, or enhanced communication. Those expectations should be translated into specific services.

### Who this affects

Customer · Sales · Coordinator · Specialist crew

### Where this sits in the move

Service design → Preparation → Delivery

### Stakeholder perspectives

The customer may hear exceptional care; the crew needs specific handling, placement, and cleanup instructions.

### Responsibility and handoff

Translate the label into a written service list with staffing, equipment, exclusions, and completion criteria.

### Common misunderstanding

White glove does not itself guarantee packing, assembly, installation, or insurance coverage.

### TRE common-language definition

> **White Glove:** A premium service designation that should be defined by the specific handling, delivery, setup, communication, and protection standards included.
