What Shleppers Moving & Storage does

Shleppers Moving & Storage is a privately held, full-service moving and storage operator founded in 1978 and headquartered in the Bronx, New York. The company serves both residential and commercial customers across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, and California via five physical offices, offering local, long-distance, international, and commercial moves, plus personal and business storage in climate-controlled facilities. Its service catalog is structured into tiered packages (Silver through a Celebrity Upgrade concierge tier) and includes specialty handling for pianos, artwork, medical equipment, and estates, supported by a DIY self-booking tool for smaller jobs and junk-removal, home-staging, and box-delivery adjacencies.

The business model is primarily transactional: most revenue is generated by one-time move engagements priced via free onsite or phone estimates under a binding flat-rate structure, with a recurring-revenue layer from short- and long-term storage rentals and a loyalty/referral overlay (Star Money 5% back, Ambassador 5-10% commission). GTM is direct-to-consumer via phone (800-847-4537), online quotes, and field sales, augmented by heavy community-based PR (March of Dimes official mover, Central Park Conservancy, ING NYC Marathon). Since 2007, under President and co-owner Jason Friedland, the company has roughly doubled revenues and added offices in Westchester, NJ, CT, FL, and CA; there is no disclosed institutional capital, and operations remain on a custom (non-AI-native) logistics platform.
