Episode 3: What's in the Box: Receiving 101

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. Alivia spills the (well-packed, barcode-labeled) tea about the systems and strategies that protect design visions before install day arrives.

"What’s in the box"

• How receiving is the real backbone of white glove service
• What designers and clients should know about proper intake, inspection, and handling
• Pro tips for avoiding delivery day disasters

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

Whether you're a designer, gallerist, collector—or just logistics-curious—this episode is your back-of-house pass to the world of fine art and furniture receiving.
