Doesn't work (for me) as a deep link; I had to go through:

first.
I have to say, you've probably made 99.9% of the list green with envy with
those photos... :-)
I've shipped stuff with both "white
glove" movers and just regular
freight companies. ... It all depends upon what you're moving and how
it's packed for shipping. If you don't have it packed/packaged, then
"white glove" is the way to go especially if it's just "big
stuff".
More importantly, I'm not sure the commercial people will _take_ stuff unless
it's on a pallet.
I originally tried to ship a group of DEC corporate cabinets (with stuff in
them - ~400 lbs per) via non-white-glove people. (I didn't care if things got
dinged a bit during shipping, and hey, it was on wheels, right? And although I
didn't have a loading dock, they said they could send a lift-gate truck, and I
was happy with kerb-side delivery.) Then they found out it wasn't on pallets,
and they wouldn't take it; I then had to switch to a white-glove firm.
And that's when I got the bad news - it cost twice as much, for the same
volume/weight. (They send a team, not just one driver.) So white-glove has a
major downside, IMO.
