Shleppers Moving & Storage

Ok, now that we're finally semi-settled into our new place and I have internet hooked up, I can finally sit down to sing the praises of these folks.

Moving is stressful: there's no way around it. My girlfriend handled booking the movers, and I didn't realize how stressed she was about the move until I called Schleppers myself to confirm something and realized she'd been calling them daily with a question, or to add or remove an item from their list. I spoke with Fran, who'd spoken with my girlfriend every time, and far from being annoyed at all the extra work we were obviously causing her, she was incredibly reassuring and said she was giving us one of her best crews. She didn't lie.

Alfredo and his crew were incredible. He immediately put us both at ease by laughingly saying, "This is it? I thought there'd be more!" They examined each piece of furniture for existing damage before wrapping it with extreme care. They even packed some electronic equipment in boxes for us, which I think was supposed to cost extra. He even packed my solitary house plant in its own adorable little box.

When we arrived at our new place, Alfredo was like, "Hey, did you know there are some screws missing from your bed frame?" I said, "No, I've slept on it like that for seven years just fine." He replied, "Hang on, I'll get my toolbox." And he fixed my bed for me.

Granted, were only moving a two bedroom apartment about a 20 minute drive away, but start-to-finish, the move only took about 4 hours (including a lunch break!)

I'd wholeheartedly recommend these guys to anyone. They went above and beyond. Like I said, moving is stressful, but working with these guys was easily the least stressful part about it.

Schleppers recently moved us from New York to Connecticut . From the initial contact with he office staff until the final item was placed in my new home we were treated with professionalism and courtesy. They were constantly in touch in the days before the move. On the day of the get move the crew arrived earlier than expected and promptly went to work. They were quick and effecient and everything was moved and in place in our new home by mid afternoon. They even helped us relocate a few items that were already in our home. They really went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied. I would highly recommend Schleppers to anyone considering a move in the future.

1 bedroom move from Brooklyn to Queens.  The moving team from Shleppers arrived right on time and had me in my new apartment by early afternoon with nothing damaged or missing. The movers took special care with all of my furniture, boxes, and books, and were professional and incredibly efficient with the move. All 3 movers were polite and great at taking care of everything including wrapping art, furniture, and stacking boxes while being careful of anything marked fragile. This was my 2nd time using Shleppers and I was not disappointed, would happily use them again.

Schleppers recently moved us from our one bedroom apartment in Midtown East to our 2 bedroom apartment in the upper east side. My wife and I were extremely pleased with how great and professional this company was. From the initial consultation to the last box that was brought up the movers were very respectful, clean, and got the job done quickly. They were like a well oil-machine and really made the move seamless. I have already recommended them to a friend of mine who will be moving in a few months. I would definitely use them again the next time I move.

My experience with them was so great I highly recommend them. They was on time, very friendly. They made my experience so comfortable all the packing was done in front of me all my expensive products was secure and pack safely. The workers was super friendly they spoke and explain very detailed oriented. They was fast but very sufficient. I couldn't have ask for a better moving company. I will definitely use them all the time for my moving and storage. Price was good.

Moving is one of the most stressful things to do, but Shleppers really helped make the process hassle-free. From the moment I requested a quote online through the end of my move, Shleppers provided a seamless and stress-free moving experience. They provided the cheapest quote and honored the price; Shleppers provided all of the necessary documents (mainly the certificate of insurance) to the apartment buildings I was moving out of/into; the movers arrived on time and completed the work in a timely fashion; there was no damage to any of my furniture or the apartments I moved out of/into; the movers were really friendly, professional and patient; Shleppers promptly followed-up prior to my move, during my move, and after my move. Again, I cannot stress how easy they made my moving experience and I highly recommend them!

The women in the office were so lovely and helpful with booking the move and getting the proper documents to all the buildings. The men who helped us move and pack were absolutely amazing. They were kind, treated us and our belongings with the utmost respect, and really just went above and beyond with everything they did. I cannot believe my experience. I am just so impressed! Shleppers made such a stressful event (moving and packing in NYC!) into a wonderful and positive experience.

First time using a moving company and couldn’t be happier I chose Shleppers. The consultant Shannan could not have been more helpful after I made 4 different revisions to my items being moved. They were the most affordable company I found too. They had two movers come for my one bedroom and both were polite and did a fantastic job. They were very nice and were helpful with everything. No damage to any of my items. I would highly recommend using this company. I don’t have enough good things to say about the movers.

I move more than most folks - upper east side, midtown, upper east side, New Jersey -.all in less than three years.

Shleppers is my go-to movers. They are professionals who are efficient, pleasant, do what they are supposed to do on time and for a fair price. They also stored my stuff.

The building manager at my latest move said Shleppers is the most
professional company re insurance docs, "Nomproblem, with them ever."

Yet, my love affair with Shleppers might be over. In September they moved me into my new apartment. Perfect! I plan to remain here forever - no more bouncing around from zip code to zip code.

Now if only Shleppers helped with the decorating.

Note: costs were variable, different each time.

I have always heard Shleppers was a great company to move you, that might be the case for local deliveries. I moved out of State and my belongings were lost and damaged. My dining room table ( not a small item) was lost for over a month and then I was told it was on its way back to NY in a truck. It was delivered, damaged, a few weeks later. three of my dining room chairs were also broken as well as the server that matched the rest of the dining room, which had a 4 inch hole in the back of it. My 2 love seats were filthy and covered with the grime and grease that seemed to cover all of my furniture, lamps were broken, boxes of office supplies were lost ( over $2,000. worth) and all in all my move turned into a nightmare! To add icing to the cake, the owner of Shleppers called me dishonest and insulted me because I held back a portion of the payment for this nightmare. Besides thousands of dollars worth of damage and additional thousands in losses the man had the gall to insult me. I am not inclined to refer Shleppers to anyone unless you like to be disappointed and insulted and have to replace some of your most coveted possessions. No Shleppers is not a company I would recommend.

Yesterday my 86 year old father moved from his home to an apartment and we hired Schleppers Movers based on other reviews. They made the entire experience extremely easy and were total professionals from beginning to end. The 2 movers showed up early, were extremely courteous, quick, respectful, took excellent care of my fathers possessions and furniture, packed everything carefully and were very helpful with getting settled in his new place. I recommend Schleppers without reservation for any of your moving needs, big or small and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again should the need arise. They are top notch..

We recently used Schleppers to move and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The movers were on time and called prior to getting there. They were very professional and very nice to work with. They made sure that everything was properly protected when it was packed up for the move. The made the entire experience quick and easy. They arrived at our home first thing in the morning and by the early afternoon we were fully moved into our new home. I would absolutely recommend Schleppers, they gave us the best price of all the moving companies we called and they made our move extremely easy.

Terrible service, from customer service to movers.
The sales person does all the possible to sell you in, and you believe you'll have great service.
We hired full packing with move, so the quote was done at our place, after seeing all we have. The movers arrive on the day of packing/moving and give that look "Oh, you have a lot of stuff".
During packing, they were careful, packed everything but I wasn't happy to see they ate all the chocolates my parents had just brought to me from Brazil, without asking anything. Later on they drank several of my protein shake bottles, again, no asking and laughs while doing thinking I wasn't seeing it.
When unloading the truck, they were not careful with the new house. Scratches on hardwood floor, holes on walls of furniture hitting the wall, but the worst was a huge hole on my living room rug. I then called the movers lead to see it, he took a photo of it and told me to reach out the company.
Next day, reached out the company to hear that they had confirmed damage was not caused by movers - the leader showed the photo to them like something he took before the move had started. After many back and forth, the upper management offered me in good faith $50 for my rug.
I hated the customer service and support to you as a consumer. I gave over $400 in tip for the movers, I just wish I could cancel and give $0 for acting like I'm stupid.

Another example of good movers. OZ before loading the truck, they walk with you and count every box and items you have. When unloading, they count again and match. With Shleppers, they take your stuff to the truck, they unload and ask you to check the truck. How can I be sure nothing is missing, if I have no clue what has been loaded into.

I wish I had decided to go with OZ Movers, which I had used 4x before and never had any issue them.

Don't use them, even with a lower price, not worth it!

My husband and I moved to FL from CA 12 weeks ago. I am currently 25 weeks pregnant, and we are still sleeping on an air mattress and using camping chairs to sit on because Shleppers has been unable to advise when or even if they intend to deliver our stuff.

We contracted Shleppers to pick up our belongings in CA on May 21 and requested a drop off date of June 15 in FL. They advised us that the typical delivery window was 7-14 days after the requested delivery date.

As of today, we still have not received our belongings and have received no clear communication from Shleppers regarding when they might even load our belongings up in CA to be shipped out to FL. It seems as if they are holding everything hostage. We continue to get answers like: "we don't know where the driver is," "one of our drivers never showed up," or even "I can't help you." We were advised that legally, they have 30 days from the requested delivery date (June 15) to provide our belongings - that 30 days was up 18 days ago as of today. I have been calling Shleppers every day for the past two weeks and have been unable to get anyone to pick up my calls, or return my calls with any helpful information. If I do speak with someone, I am never able to get any information regarding timeline or even if they intend to provide my belongings. I am told they do not know where or when their driver will be coming to pick up my belongings which seems strange since their dispatch department is in charge of knowing that very information and should have at least some idea if I am calling them every day!

My desire is for Shlepper's to make things right by providing clear, proactive communication regarding when they will ship out my belongings and guarantee that they will meet the delivery window.

I am most disappointed by their lack of integrity, proactive communication and willingness to resolve this issue. I understand things happen, but my pregnant belly would really appreciate having a real bed to sleep on in the near future.
