Designer Logistics with Rob Marchese of Zippboxx

In this episode of IDS Podcast, host Brian Berkowitz sits down with Rob Marchese, owner of Zippboxx, a Long Island–based moving and storage company specializing in storage logistics for interior designers. Rob shares the fascinating journey from quitting his masonry job to launching Zippboxx, originally envisioned as an on‑demand storage service. Over time, Zippboxx evolved into a niche operation that now partners with designers to receive, inspect, store, and deliver high‑end furniture and accessories with true white‑glove service.

Rob explains how Zippboxx handles every detail of designer logistics—from photographing and cataloging each item upon arrival to coordinating installation day with precision. He talks about building trust with designers, maintaining a photo inventory system, and the importance of impeccable quality control.
