Company Overview
In 1988, Dennis Photography and Shipping was started as a home-based photography and shipping business by Dennis Hawthorne and was registerded at 921 East 32nd Street, Brooklyn, New York. Four years later, with the encouragement and support of valued clients, Mr. Hawthorne further established an office at 324 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, New York.
Proven performance and added value resulted in producing loyal and committed clients. Continued growth and success further encouraged Mr. Hawthorne, two years later, to move to 259 Rogers Avenue, Brooklyn, New York. Both the photography and shipping businesses placed great demands on Mr. Hawthorne. As such, Mr. Hawthorne’s desire to serve the people in his community made him place greater focus on the shipping business, and thus: Dennis Shipping was born.
Today, Dennis Shipping has office throughout the Country and Caribbean. Many clients of Dennis Shipping are a result of long-standing repeated business relationships built over the last thirty (30) years. Perhaps the best way to describe the unique qualities and commitment of Dennis Shipping is from the clients themselves.

Local (intrastate) moves are generally based on a per-hour cost for the personnel and
the number of vehicles that the mover provides (up to a certain distance, with longer
distances based on the weight of your shipment and the mileage it is transported) and the
level of liability that the mover will cover in the event of loss or damage is generally
less than would apply for an interstate move.
Once you have compiled a list of movers, inform them of the destination and timing of your
move. Ask them about the types of services they offer. Also ask them to explain their
estimates in detail and to give you a copy. If any company refuses to give you a written
estimate, you should eliminate them from consideration. Then carefully compare to see which
mover best suits your needs and budget.
The cost of your move will be based on the actual weight of your belongings and the distance
they are shipped, plus the amount of packing and other services that you require.
To help you anticipate the cost of your move, movers will give you an estimate of the price.
Be sure to get written estimates from at least 3 different movers so that you can compare
their services and prices.
