White glove delivery costs more than standard courier because the service is more involved — two crew members instead of one, more equipment, longer time on each delivery, COI coordination with buildings, and packaging removal. Six factors determine the final price. Distance. Pickup to drop-off mileage, plus return mileage to the depot. A Manhattan-to-Brooklyn delivery costs less than a Manhattan-to-Morristown delivery, which costs less than a NYC-to-Boston or NYC-to-DC haul. Crew size. Two-person standard, but four-person crews for heavy items (pianos, large sectionals, oversized art). Vehicle type. Cargo van for most furniture and art, box truck with liftgate for very large or heavy pieces — see liftgate delivery costs. Time on site. A 15-minute drop-off costs less than a 90-minute placement-and-assembly job. Building complexity. Walk-up apartments, narrow staircases, restricted freight elevator hours, and high-floor luxury buildings with COI requirements all add operational time and cost — context at freight elevator and COI guide. Time of day. Standard business hours are baseline; evenings, weekends, and overnight runs carry premium rates — see weekend courier rates.
White glove pricing varies widely by job type, but here are realistic ranges as of 2026. Local NYC or NJ white glove (single item, single building). $250-$500 for a single piece of furniture or art delivered with two-person crew, inside placement, and debris removal — assuming straightforward building access during business hours. Multi-item white glove (3-5 items, one residence). $500-$1,200 depending on item complexity, building access, and total time on site. Home staging deliveries and showroom-to-residence runs typically land in this range — see home staging delivery for context. Cross-state white glove (NYC-NJ or NYC-CT). $400-$900 for single-item, more for multi-item. Routes include NYC to New Jersey and NYC to Philadelphia. Long-distance white glove (NYC to Boston, DC, etc.). Pricing scales with distance and team-driver requirements for runs over 8 hours; quote-only based on item value and handling needs.
Add-on costs to expect. Stair carries beyond the first flight: $25-$75 per additional flight. Walk-up buildings above the 4th floor: additional charge. Long carries (over 75 feet from vehicle): added time. Crating and custom packaging: based on materials. Insurance riders for declared value over $5,000: small percentage of declared value. COI issuance for buildings requiring it: usually included, but specific high-coverage requirements may incur a fee — see COI guide. Hoisting (item won't fit in elevator and needs to be lifted over balcony or through window): specialty rigging firm, coordinated separately. For accurate pricing: pricing calculator.

For an accurate white glove quote, provide: item dimensions and weight, photos if possible, pickup address (with building name and access notes), delivery address (with building name and access notes), preferred date and time window, any COI requirements (which insurance certificate language the destination building needs), and whether unpacking or assembly is needed. Vague descriptions get vague quotes. The more detail you provide on the front end, the more accurately we can price and the fewer surprises on delivery day. Three ways to start: run the pricing calculator, contact dispatch directly for complex jobs, or open a business account for ongoing white glove work.
