Shleppers Moving & Storage

Overall, it was a really easy and low-stress move from Manhattan to Philadelphia. The movers (Marco was the foreman) were very professional and worked extremely fast. They called me to give updates as to when they would arrive, traffic situation, estimated time of completion, etc., which was greatly appreciated. The price estimate I was given stayed fixed, even though I had a couple of extra boxes from my original estimate. I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone looking to move.

Everything went smoothly from my initial call. My sales rep was knowledgeable, attentive and truly worked with me on all aspects of my move.

The moving crew was PHENOMENAL. They treated everything with kid gloves, pointed out any dings, dents or scratches to me before touching them and worked lightning fast.

As a whole, Shleppers was very communicative and always let me know what to expect. No monkey business with pricing either. The estimate I received reflected a fair price and included everything, no hidden charges or add-ons + my rep worked with me to keep me on budget.

Call Shleppers first!

For both our moves we used shleppers and both times the experience was amazing. The associate helped us plan the move. On the day of the moves the movers came on time. They came prepared with extra supplies and managed to complete both moves quickly and efficiently. They carefully apart and wrapped our furniture. Once we arrived at the final destination the put the furniture back together. They were friendly and helped make the process as stress free as possible. I will definitely be using them going forward.

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.

I had a great experience using Shleppers for the first time. My initial call with the relocation consultant, Anne, was pleasant and she wasn’t pushy. She patiently explained the process and answered my questions. I left an initial estimation of the number of boxes and got a quote, a few days later I increased that number with a quick phone call and was surprised the quote did not rise significantly. The movers were punctual, professional, and kind. Shleppers was certainly the most value for the least money.

We chose Shleppers because of the reviews we read online and because they sounded the most professional on the phone. After talking with a Shleppers representative on the phone and walking through our apartment, we received a flat-rate for our move spread out over two days. When we updated Shleppers requesting more book boxes, they adjusted the flat-rate slightly and delivered boxes to our door. We boxed 90% of our items ourselves with boxes and tape provided by Shleppers.

The original plan was that Shleppers would pack up a truck, the truck would be securely locked up over night, and everything would be delivered the second day at noon.

The Shleppers representative said it would be too many hours for one crew to pack up our place, drive to our new state, and unload everything, and drive back to NY. It appears they take good care of their workers!

Oscar was a great crew leader. He and his men worked tirelessly to pack everything in a careful manner. I was amazed at how fast everyone worked. Oscar and his crew arrived exactly on time at our apartment and they packed everything up in three hours.

A representative from Shleppers called us and asked us if the second part of our move (the delivery) could be at 2PM instead of noon. We said no problem.

The following day, in our new state, we found the Shleppers truck in front of our new address at 8AM. We were a little confused. It appears the truck had two jobs on it and we were the first job of the day instead of the second. We figured better early than late!

Rene, the delivery crew leader, was also a great crew leader. Everything was unloaded and placed where we requested in approximately an hour and a half.

Everything that made it out of our first place made it to our second. We were very impressed.

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.

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!

The process of moving is stressful upon itself. Having done this several times throughout my life, each time promising myself that it was the last. The team as Shleppers made this entire ordeal .almost non-existent. To start, the pricing was very fair. As "things" happen, and did happen, the Shleppers people were very flexible and most accommodating. They made the entire project, usually daunting task, a walk in the park. From management down to the trucking and moving team, the entire staff was courteous, and helpful. It is my sincere pleasure to recommend them to anyone contemplating a 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.

I used Shleppers to move an overstuffed converted 3 bedroom in NY to a house in NJ.We had used them over 10 years earlier to move in and had a good experience so decided to see if they were still of the same quality. The move consultant who came to review the apartment was friendly and easy to deal with. He was in and out quickly while doing a thorough estimate and was able to answer any questions we had. We received estimates from several places and this was the best experience. To make it better their price was much better than one place and competitive with others. We decided to go ahead with them.
On move day our foreman showed up with the truck and guys (Milos I think) checked out our apartment and got to work. They were quick, but diligent and pointed out already damaged items (we knew). No issues with the packing up of the truck from the apartment. Once they arrived they unloaded quickly and even though some furniture did not fit upstairs, (not their fault)
they tried hard to make accommodations and got the truck unloaded and without issue. At the end of the move they did not bring up any surprise add-ons, or changes to the bill (a theme I saw often during my searches on the web). We settled up and that was it. I tipped them well (they deserved it) but that was not brought up at all by them. (No pressure, etc.). Overall we were extremely pleased with the move and would recommend them and this crew in particular.
