Receiving point
Describe where the handoff should occur.
White-glove delivery
Careful handling starts with a clear plan.
Define the handling, receiving and placement your delivery needs. Signal reviews the item, location and requested tasks before coordinating a white-glove delivery plan.

Describe the service at both ends
Use the tasks, not the label, to define the work.
White-glove requests can mean different things to different teams. The useful starting point is specific: what is being moved, how it will be released, where it should be received and which handling tasks are requested.
A delivery to a loading dock is not the same as an inside receiving point. Room-of-choice placement, unpacking, assembly and packaging removal introduce separate requirements. Record the tasks you want reviewed rather than relying on the service name to carry the instructions.
Handling tasks
Confirm what the job and access require.
Clear instructions
Return the reviewed work to the delivery plan.
Useful evidence
Connect proof to the requested result.
01ENTRY02CLEARANCE + TURNS03PROTECTED CARRY04PLACEMENT POINT
Dimensions, access, protection, and the destination are reviewed as one path.
Plan the path
Plan the path into the destination.
Share the item dimensions and weight alongside the receiving conditions. Stairs, elevators, doorways, tight turns, surface protection and the final placement area may affect equipment, crew requirements and whether the requested handoff is workable.
The receiving contact should know what is expected before arrival. Access instructions and building restrictions belong with the request so they can be reviewed together, not discovered only when the delivery professional reaches the door.
Keep special tasks explicit
Delivery scope and additional tasks are separate.
Delivery and placement do not automatically include installation, utility connection, disconnection, testing, assembly, disposal or removal of an existing item. Ask for any additional task you need, and have its inclusion confirmed as part of the scope.
This separation makes the service easier to understand. The customer sees what has been agreed, the receiving team knows how to prepare, and the delivery professionals have a clear plan to follow.
Scope review
Item, access, receiving and proof.
Separate review
Installation, assembly, removal or disposal when requested.
CONDITIONPLACEMENTPROOFHANDOFF
The evidence reflects the agreed result without inventing completion.
Document the handoff
Close the handoff with the right evidence.
Specify the receiving and proof requirements that matter to the request. Item condition, the agreed handoff location, photographs or a signature can be relevant, depending on the service arrangement.
If access or handling differs from the plan, the issue needs a recorded owner and a reviewed next step. An unplanned condition should not silently become an unsupported task or a falsely complete delivery record.
RELATED EQUIPMENT
Review supporting capability where applicable.

White-glove questions
Define the receiving scope before the move.
Does white-glove delivery include installation?
Not automatically. Installation, utility connections, assembly and other additional tasks need separate review and explicit confirmation. Describe them in the request.
What access information should I provide?
Include stairs, elevator access, doorway or turning constraints, building restrictions and the desired receiving location, along with the item dimensions and weight where known.
Can I request a specific placement location?
Yes. Describe the requested location and the path to it. The handling and access requirements must be reviewed before that placement is included in the service.
Build the scope around the job
Share the item, receiving point, access conditions and requested handling.
Signal will review what the delivery needs before the service is confirmed.
