White Glove Han­dling and Repack­ing Service

Care and security, built into every step.

What White Glove Handling Means at ForwardVia

Our white glove han­dling ser­vice pro­vides a metic­u­lous, ultra-care­ful treat­ment and repack­ing of frag­ile or high-val­ue items entrust­ed to our care. From the moment your par­cel arrives at our facil­i­ty, it’s treat­ed as more than just anoth­er pack­age — it’s han­dled with the pre­ci­sion and atten­tive­ness that valu­able, sen­ti­men­tal, or del­i­cate items deserve.

Our trained staff are expe­ri­enced in han­dling a wide range of sen­si­tive goods, includ­ing design­er fash­ion, jew­ellery, elec­tron­ics, art­work, col­lectibles, and frag­ile glass or ceram­ic items. Each item is care­ful­ly inspect­ed upon arrival and repacked with pro­tec­tive mate­ri­als that meet its spe­cif­ic needs, includ­ing cush­ioned foam inserts, acid-free tis­sue, and rein­forced dou­ble-wall box­ing that can with­stand the rigours of inter­na­tion­al transit.

Who This Service Is For

If you’re for­ward­ing some­thing you’d be gen­uine­ly upset to see arrive dam­aged, this ser­vice is for you.

That might be a watch you’ve pur­chased online, a gift sent to our address on your behalf, a design­er item from an over­seas retail­er, or valu­ables being shipped inter­na­tion­al­ly. What­ev­er it is — if it mat­ters to you, it’s worth han­dling properly.

We treat these parcels dif­fer­ent­ly from the moment they land on our shelves. Every item is inspect­ed on arrival, so if there’s any sign of dam­age from the orig­i­nal ship­ment, you’ll know before it ever leaves our hands. We pho­to­graph the con­tents, note the con­di­tion, and flag any­thing that looks off — because the worst time to dis­cov­er a prob­lem is after it’s already been repacked and sent on.

Repack­ing is where most dam­age actu­al­ly hap­pens, and it’s where we take the most care. Orig­i­nal box­es are often designed to sur­vive one jour­ney, not two. So instead of just tap­ing the man­u­fac­tur­er’s box back up, we assess what the item actu­al­ly needs: rigid out­er car­tons for any­thing frag­ile, void-fill that won’t shift in tran­sit, extra cor­ner pro­tec­tion for frames, screens, or instru­ment cas­es, and mois­ture bar­ri­ers for any­thing sen­si­tive to humid­i­ty. If it’s high-val­ue, we dou­ble-box as standard.
