DN Van Lines is a moving and storage company headquartered at 2 Beeman Rd in Northborough, MA. By its own account it was founded in 2003 with one truck and three movers, is still independently owned by the same family rather than part of a national van line, and runs W-2 crews instead of day labor. The company describes local, long-distance, commercial and military/GSA moves, packing and warehouse storage, with additional branches in Virginia and Florida, and lists a self-reported USDOT number of 1141917. Customers hire them mostly for household moves, and the written praise is consistent and specific. Recent Google reviewers name move coordinators such as Liz, Mike and Tommie as organized and quick to answer questions, and describe crews who wrap and protect furniture, lay blankets on floors, disassemble and reassemble beds and tables, and work steadily through hot or rainy days. Several customers mention long-term storage with the company, including one who kept furniture there for more than six years before a move to South Carolina, and a 2023 reviewer described a same-day loft move from New York City to the company's Massachusetts storage with media and archival prints labeled and cataloged. Repeat customers who have used them for two or three moves appear more than once. On Reddit, a September 2026 commenter in r/WorcesterMA said the crew that moved their parents was on time, careful and came in a little below the quote, and other commenters have named them when people in Boston-area threads asked for movers. A July 2022 r/boston commenter called DN Van Lines pricey, but said you get what you pay for. The complaints are just as concrete and cluster around damage and billing. A July 2026 reviewer on a military move from Washington, DC to Florida described scratched and broken furniture, missing crib pieces and furniture left behind at the old home. A June 2026 reviewer said they were billed travel time to and from a hub in Virginia at $229 an hour and that the crew asked for cash, and a May 2026 reviewer said packing materials ran $5,500 and that the long-distance move was handed off to other companies. A January 2026 reviewer reported broken items and a request for a cash tip before the job was finished, and an October 2025 reviewer said the final bill was more than twice the quote. Older complaints (a 2023 local move that ran 7.5 hours with damaged furniture, and a 2025 North Carolina move with a late subcontracted courier) echo the same themes, and several reviewers note that damage claims are paid at 60 cents per pound. The ratings on the big platforms stay high: 4.7 stars from 494 Google ratings, 4.5 from 235 on Angi and 4.3 from 121 on HomeAdvisor. For long-distance moves, the complaints suggest confirming in writing whether any leg is subcontracted, how travel time is billed, and what valuation coverage applies beyond the default per-pound rate.
“Just used DN Van Lines to move my parents. They were on time, friendly, worked carefully and efficiently, and even came in a little below their quote.”
“DN Van Lines can help, but they're in Northborough”
“DN Van Lines, the official mover of Michael Felger and the DoD”
“Gentle Giant is great and so is DN Van Lines”
“DN van lines, Michael Felger's choice of movers”
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!!
