Daley & Wanzer Moving & Storage

Daley & Wanzer has been moving New England families since 1916 — five generations of the Fleck family have run it since buying the company from Knute Wanzer, and it's been BBB-accredited, with an A+ rating, since 1997. A 2016 Boston Globe piece marked its 100th anniversary and described it as four-generation family-owned at the time; today the company works out of Hull with a second location in West Palm Beach, handling moves the length of the East Coast. On Google, it holds 4.7 stars from 39 ratings, and the reviews read like a company that specializes in the long haul: customers describe moves from South Carolina to Massachusetts and Massachusetts to Florida, both praised for seamless office coordination on one end and careful delivery on the other. Staff get called out by name often enough that it looks like a real team, not a rotating crew — Kate in the office is thanked repeatedly for following up and resolving issues, and Sheila and driver Bill Fleck are singled out on a Boston-to-Florida move that also included car transport. Across both local and long-distance jobs, reviewers consistently report no damage. The one clear miss in the record: a 2021 review described trying to book a week of storage plus a move, exchanging emails for two months and calling a few times without ever hearing back, before giving up and hiring someone else. It's the kind of gap that's easy to imagine happening during a busy stretch, but it's worth following up by phone rather than email if a first message goes unanswered. For a long-distance move along the East Coast, or a local Hull-area move handled by a company with over a century of history and an accredited track record, Daley & Wanzer has the reviews and the tenure to back it up. If reaching them proves slow, a phone call rather than email seems to get better results.
