In this episode of On the Move, Kelly and Caralee sit down with Alivia, Caudelle’s Commander of Receiving, to unveil the unsung hero of the interior design world: white glove receiving and storage.

With her signature wit and warehouse wisdom, Alivia demystifies the process and proves that every flawless install starts long before the drill comes out.

• How poor handling can unravel an entire design project
• The skills that white glove crews bring beyond the muscle
• Real stories of installations saved (or ruined) by the right team
