DN Van Lines is a Northborough, Massachusetts moving company that says it's been independently owned by the same family since 2003, when it started with one truck and three movers; it now also has branches in Virginia and Florida and handles everything from local New England moves to long-distance and military relocations. Its written record runs back to 2017. For local and regional moves, coordinators named Liz, Elizabeth, and Mike get singled out repeatedly for clear communication, and crews led by Eduardo, Tommy, and others get credited with fast, careful handling. In a July 2026 review, a crew wrapped and loaded a full home into a storage unit in about three hours; another July 2026 review said furniture that had sat in the company's storage for over six years arrived at a second home without issue. In a 2025 review, DN was the only company that would commit to a firm two-day delivery schedule for an 875-mile move. Long-distance and cross-country moves tell a rougher story. A July 2026 review from a military family described a move that scratched and destroyed a sectional, a dining table, a bed frame, and two TVs; a 2025 review said management disputed a damage claim as pre-existing despite the customer having moved with DN three times before without incident; and a 2022 review described a cross-country delivery that took four months and arrived with broken and scratched furniture. A June 2026 review also said the company charges travel time both to and from its Virginia hub at $229 an hour without itemizing the shipment. For a local or regional move, the reviews describe a well-drilled, careful crew worth calling. For a long-distance or interstate move, get the travel-time and damage-claim policies in writing before booking — that's exactly where the complaints on file cluster.
“DM van lines!”
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience moving from MA to MI. Liz the move coordinator was top notch. Answered all my questions promptly and was super helpful. The moving crew led by Eduardo were so fast and careful loading and unloading. Great experience from beginning to end
DN Van Lines was great! Mike was organized, smart and precise with setting everything up. Cesar, Willy and Benol worked their tail off and did not cause any damage or even a scratch on a wall. Definitely recommend and will use them in the future.
**military move** Absolutely worst company the navy could have possibly sent to move our things. Our sectional, dinning room table, bed frame and our 75 in and 50 inch tvs completely scratched and destroyed. The day of the move we were told by movers that we did not have to stay since we were driving cross country had us sign paper work and we left (our first mistake) they left furniture in our home on base and had no one to grab it for us so the office continued charging us rent till the movers could come back for it and no one notified us till the following week that anything was left. Then when all our things did arrive our furniture was put into pods till our house was ready and they had taken apart the majority of the furniture with no labels at least one piece of the larger pieces of furniture are missing. They reassured us multiple times they would have zero problems and practically ushered us out of our home day of move. Now that we are unpacking and seeing it all i am in complete shock. We moved from Washington DC to Florida. I have a cream colored couch that was so poorly wrapped in plastic it has black stains half of it now from being slid around on the ground. My dinning room table is scratched beyond belief and the bench that goes with it had heavy boxes left on it while it was standing upright that it has ripped off the pedestal legs. We’re talking about a 1500$ dinning room table, bench and chairs. If your a military family or someone who values your things because the world is expensive now, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY and if the military send them to help your cross country move expect a lot of damages and do not leave your house till they are done and watch how they pack your valuables. It doesn’t allow me to post pictures unfortunately but it’s shocking. We are absolutely devastated even our 5 month olds crib is missing pieces. Good luck to you if you get stuck with this company
Could not recommend this company enough. Elizabeth, our move coordinator, was clear, easy to communicate with, and always available for any questions we had. We had a team of 3 movers help us out day-of, and they worked SO hard, non-stop from the moment they got there- not to mention on a very hot day! When we arrived at our new home, they asked us about each piece of furniture, and placed it in the room exactly where we would want it, set everything up. Overall very thorough, and we were very impressed!
I have had my furniture in storage with them for 6+ years. I finally moved it to our second home in SC. They have gone far beyond my expectations on beholding my forever furniture. Liz was amazing on coordinating my move seamlessly. The movers were professional and so patient with me trying to find the right fit. I knew I had more furniture than I needed, Liz said no problem , send it back and they would donate it to women in need. I highly recommend them. A local business who takes care of their local clients and beyond. I thank them so very much!!
