White Glove Delivery (WGD), a premium delivery option for goods that need in-home delivery and setup or extra care during shipment, has been added to Quivers, the top commerce platform for specialty brands and merchants. The brand hopes that with its new service, it can incentivize consumers to hit check-out on large purchases without fear of damage during delivery, "porch piracy," or an inability to install specialty items in their home.
Brands can now offer WGD using their dealer network, meaning delivery is handled by specialist fulfillers whose staff are trained in how to handle the products and provide any necessary set-up or installation. With the service, consumers are given a variety of WGD delivery options, including in-home delivery, room-of-choice setup, on-site assembly, and old item removal.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- White Glove Delivery
- As WGD grows in popularity, there is an opportunity for startups to emerge as specialized fulfillment services that cater to unique goods and products.

- In-home Installation Services
- With the rise of WGD and the increasing demand for specialty products, there is an opportunity for companies to offer in-home installation services for a variety of goods.
Sectors Adopting This
