For retailers, designers and warehouses
White-Glove and Commercial Delivery in Edmonton
White-glove delivery in Edmonton for businesses whose customers expect more than a box at the door: furniture carried inside, unwrapped, assembled where requested and set in place. Retailers, designers, stagers, office-furniture dealers and warehouses can book one order at a time, each with its own written quote.

Commercial delivery in Edmonton: who books it
This page is for businesses that sell, specify or hold furniture and need it delivered to someone else. Men In Trucks Moving Inc. has moved families and businesses since 2010 in Ottawa and has now launched in Edmonton with local crews.
Furniture and mattress retailers
Furniture delivery for retailers without their own trucks, or short of capacity in a busy week. The piece arrives wrapped, goes to the room your customer picks and is set up if the order says so.
Interior designers and home stagers
Pieces collected from showrooms, workrooms or suppliers and placed in a client's home or a listing to your plan. Stagers can book the return trip when the home sells.
Office-furniture dealers
Desks, chairs, filing cabinets and boardroom tables carried in, assembled and placed. For systems furniture or cubicles, tell us the make and model; we will confirm in writing. Moving a whole office? See office relocations in Edmonton.
Warehouses and 3PL operators
Last-mile delivery of bulky warehouse and third-party logistics (3PL) stock that should not go by parcel courier: warehouse pickups, then inside delivery and placement for the end customer.
Delivery levels: from curbside to white glove
Delivery terms are used loosely, so your written quote names one of these four levels for every order.
| Level | What it usually means | Suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Curbside | Unloaded at the curb, driveway or loading area; the recipient carries it in. | Boxed items one or two people can lift. |
| Threshold | Carried to the first doorway, garage or lobby. No stairs past the entry, no unpacking. | Boxed goods headed for a garage or lobby. |
| Room of choice (inside delivery) | Carried inside, up or down stairs, to the room the recipient chooses. Packaging usually stays. | Heavy pieces that arrive built, such as dressers and recliners. |
| White glove | Room of choice plus unwrapping, assembly where requested, placement and a final check. Packaging removal is often part of it; ask and we will confirm in writing. | Sofas, beds, dining sets, fragile pieces and anything that needs assembly. |
Definitions differ between companies. If you promise your customer a level, make sure the booking says the same.
What white-glove delivery in Edmonton includes
Tell us which of these steps each order needs and your quote will list them.
- Check at pickup. Count the pieces against the order and note visible carton damage before loading, so problems surface at the warehouse, not the living room.
- Wrap for the ride. Unboxed furniture travels in moving blankets, corners and legs covered, and is secured for the drive.
- Inside delivery. Through the door, up the stairs or into the elevator. Tell us about floors, finishes or tight door frames at the delivery address and we will confirm in writing how they will be protected.
- Unpack and assemble. Legs, headboards and table leaves go on where requested, with the manufacturer's hardware; see furniture assembly and disassembly.
- Place and check. The piece goes where the recipient wants it, and they look it over before the crew leaves.
- Packaging. Tell us if you need packaging taken away and we will confirm.
Wall anchoring and electrical, plumbing or gas hook-ups are not part of these delivery levels; book a qualified trade for those.

Warehouse pickups and deliveries in Edmonton
Much of a delivery's difficulty sits at the pickup end: receiving hours, dock appointments, pallets and release paperwork. Tell us how the warehouse handles pickups and we will confirm in writing what we can take on.
- Warehouse to customer. From your warehouse or a 3PL dock to the end customer, at the level you choose.
- Supplier to showroom or office. A designer's or dealer's order collected from a supplier and delivered to a showroom, office or client's home.
- Returns and exchanges. A piece collected from a customer and brought back to your store or warehouse.
For palletized goods, tell us whether your staff will load or break them down, and send weights. Machinery and racking need specialist riggers.
Warehouse stock around Edmonton sits in places such as the City's Winterburn, Ellerslie and Mistatim industrial areas, the Acheson Industrial Area and Nisku Business Park, about 3 km from Edmonton International Airport. South of the city, see Leduc, Nisku and Beaumont moves.
How to book a commercial delivery
Deliveries are booked one at a time, each with a written quote before delivery day naming the level, both addresses and what is included. Request your written quote with the details below, or email the order list and photos to [email protected]. Expecting steady volume? Ask us about a regular schedule.
What we need for each delivery
| Detail | For example | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Pickup address and contact | Dock or door, receiving hours, a name and phone number | The goods can be released when the crew arrives. |
| Delivery address and recipient | Unit, buzzer code, the recipient's name and phone number | The recipient expects the crew. |
| Item list | Order number, piece count, boxed or built | Nothing is left behind. |
| Dimensions and weight | Size and approximate weight of large pieces | Sets the crew size; shows what clears doors, stairs and elevators. |
| Access at both ends | Stairs, elevator, dock, parking, building rules | Decides carry time and any elevator booking. |
| Service level | Curbside to white glove, plus any assembly | Matches what you promised your customer. |
| Time window request | Preferred date, morning or afternoon | We confirm in writing what timing we can offer. |
Access at the delivery address
Most condo and apartment buildings set their own move rules (elevator bookings, time windows, deposits or fees) through bylaws or building rules. Ask your customer to check with the property manager early so the elevator is booked for delivery day.
Edmonton's Traffic Bylaw lets commercial vehicles stop to load and unload with hazard lights on. We plan the truck position before delivery day. That does not override posted no-stopping zones or a declared winter parking ban. Commercial loading zones have posted limits, typically 5 to 30 minutes (City of Edmonton commercial parking), short for a delivery with assembly, so tell us if the building has a dock.

White-glove delivery questions
What is white-glove delivery?
White-glove delivery is the fullest level of furniture delivery: the item is carried to the room the recipient chooses, unwrapped, assembled where requested and set in place. The term is used loosely, so check which steps are included. A Men In Trucks quote states the level and what it covers in writing.
Is white-glove delivery worth paying for?
Usually it is for heavy, bulky or fragile pieces, anything that needs assembly, and deliveries up stairs or into condo towers, where a damaged wall, floor or piece is a real risk. For boxed items a recipient can carry in alone, threshold or curbside is often enough. Retailers can match the level to the item instead of offering one level for everything.
Can furniture stores, designers and stagers book deliveries with you?
Yes. Retailers, interior designers, home stagers and office-furniture dealers can book white-glove, room-of-choice, threshold or curbside deliveries and warehouse pickups in Edmonton, one delivery at a time. Each order gets a written quote before delivery day, and if you expect steady volume, ask us about a regular schedule.
What information do you need to book a commercial delivery?
We need the pickup and delivery addresses, an item list with dimensions and approximate weights, access details at both ends (stairs, elevators, docks, building rules), an on-site contact at each address and your preferred time window. Tell us the level, any assembly and whether packaging should be taken away, and we will confirm in writing. Photos of large or unusual pieces help us quote accurately.
