Shleppers Moving & Storage

My wife and I had a terrific moving experience with Shleppers. We moved from New York to Pennsylvania and had to store our items for 3 weeks, until our newly purchased house closed. Oscar and his crew were excellent, efficient, and very careful in moving the items. In particular, we had a treadmill to be moved to the basement. The guys found that it was too wide for the doorway, so not only did they remove the door, but also the vertical portions of the treadmill so that it fit through with an inch to spare. They put it back together again in perfect condition! We also found out that the couple purchasing our home had used Shleppers 3 times in the past and wouldn't use anyone else. I would recommend their services without reservation.

I have used Shleppers for several moves within and around NYC and they are always reliable and always do a grea job. THis last move was no exception. I would recommend them. The move is easy to book s thjeyr espond very quikcly to email, which makes it very easy to get a price quote and a moving date. They also send you information regarding your move, such as reminding you about cable TV, electricity,etc. THey also get a Certification of Insurance if you need one and take care of the paperwork.

Please, save your valuables and don't choose shleppers as your moving company.

They are extremely slipshod in their packing, they arrived with insufficient materials to pack my belongings safely, and even after explicit instructions ("wrap the photographs with bubble wrap") when my back was turned they proceeded to wrap the rest with paper, offering no protection.

Furthermore, they did an amazingly bonehead move of packing incredibly expensive speakers (which I mentioned as such) instead of with great care, in a box jammed in with a cloth suitcase with metal locks on it as the packing material..locks are metal, speakers are magnets, boom, destroyed speakers.

They had the gall to offer $50 after this ridiculousness was pointed out to them as obviously their fault.

Their customer service sucks, they banged a few walls in the process, careless and slow all around.

Do not hire.

We had a complicated move, with a truck bringing furniture/household belongings into Manhattan for two separate apartments. Half of the belongings were being moved into one apartment, and the remainder of things in the truck needed to be taken out of the truck, put in a Schleppers truck, and moved to Schleppers storage in the Bronx (to be held for two weeks). On top of that, the first apartment move-in date was up in the air until 2 days before the move because of co-op . When every other part of the move was fraught with bureaucracy, delays, and lackluster customer service..Schleppers was excellent in each and every interaction I had with them. I had phone conversations with perhaps 8 individuals and every single one of them did exactly what they said they would do, in a very timely manner. They worked with me to maneuver through all the issues (none of which were created by them). In addition, they are allowing us to send deliveries to the storage center for the next two weeks..and then those deliveries will be part of the move from storage to the second apt later this month. Schleppers was great!

We used Shleppers for our recent move and couldn't have been happier. Moving when seven months pregnant, during a major heat wave, and in NYC made for a pretty stressful situation, and Shleppers made the move as stress-free as possible. I had used them for a previous move in 2011 and they did a great job, so I felt confident using them again, but this move went even more smoothly than the last. Fran and Jonathan were so helpful in coordinating the move with transparency and confirming every detail. I even had some last minute changes (deciding not to move a piece of furniture, adding more boxes) and Fran adjusted the estimate to fit. Then the day of the move, Angel and his crew came 15 minutes early and started moving all of our boxes and furniture out right away. They were friendly and professional, and most of all efficient, competent, and gentle on our belongings. They arrived at our new apartment at the same time we did (we expected they would stop for lunch, take their time, and we'd get there a good hour ahead of the truck, so we were really pleased with the timing), and set up all the furniture and placed the boxes exactly where we wanted them to. We've unpacked all but a few boxes, and everything arrived safely and in one piece. The only surprise of the entire move was a welcome one: Shleppers finished an hour ahead of the estimated time we were given. I've recommended Shleppers to a number of friends since my first move with them, and they've all been just as happy with their moving experiences. I'll keep recommending Shleppers (and Angel in particular; he was wonderful), and will use them for our next move!

We had a great experience with Shleppers Moving! Fran, our Relocation Consultant was super nice and helpful. She made sure everything was accurate and that we got the COI that we needed for our new building right away. I initially received quotes from 4 companies, and all were either slightly or significantly more than I was expecting. Shleppers was one of the more reasonable ones, but it was also the experience working with Fran that made me decide to go with Shleppers (plus I enjoy the name!). Our move was slightly complicated as my girlfriend was moving from the Bronx to Brooklyn and I was moving within Brooklyn, not to mention we needed to bring one item from the Bronx apartment to leave at my old apartment, but they made it easy (and it was much better than orchestrating two separate moves)


Felix (the Foreman) and his team were great! They were scheduled to arrive between 9-10am, but actually got there on the early side -
closer to 8:30 am and wasted no time in loading things up. By the time they got to me at the second location - they came in, I showed them everything that needed to be moved, and they started taking boxes out right away. Felix also helped get my curtains down as I was having trouble. They were done loading my stuff within 30 min. By the time I got to the final destination (maybe 15-20 min after they left), they were already unloading items into the new place. The longest part was putting the couch back together.


Overall the move went very smoothly and took less than 5 hours in total (including the driving to each location). The only issues were that one dresser got a little scuffed up and the back came apart (it wasn't an expensive or sturdy piece of furniture), but Felix nailed it back in right away after explaining how the tape had pulled it off the nails, without having to be asked. This was the first time either of us had ever used professional movers and it made things so much easier for us. I would definitely use Shleppers again and recommend them (particularly Felix and his team)!

Second and last time I use Shleppers. I like people who are up front about a problem. Not saying something is a lie of omission. The "mover" who set up my bedroom scratched the bottom of the dresser and never told me. He also ripped the fabric under the box spring, never told me. Why hide this? BE UP FRONT! You think not telling me is going to run and recommend Shleppers? Think again. He also wasn't able to set up the bed correctly. When they set up my desk they had a problem reinstalling the drawer. So what did Mr. Intellect do? He tried to bend the drawer rails because he thought they needed bending. Ask the customer for help. After all, it is his desk. Finally, They were upset that I put the tip on my credit card. I offered to meet the crew leader and give him cash. He looked at me like I insulted him and his family. He wasn't too pleased with the quantity of the tip. Too stinking bad! So Shleppers will not get my business, nor would I recommend them to others.

I moved from New York to the Bay Area using Shleppers. I was very impressed with the staff top to bottom. They give you a moving consultant who is both the estimator and the point person through the whole process and mine was great. The estimate was what I was charged in the end, the pickup was professional and efficient, and the staff showed great care and were friendly. The only trouble points were that they had two items that did not make it onto the cross-country truck due to space reasons and were delivered a couple of weeks later and a couple of items that were damaged. They were in constant contact with me and compensated me for both.
