Daniels Moving

I don’t often write lengthy reviews, but there’s a lot to unpack here and if you’re considering hiring this company, it’s worth a read. But if you’d like the nutshell version… I wouldn’t let them pack my groceries!

Our family moved from FL to VT and between my wife, my brother and myself, we packed a 28’ trailer full and everything arrived with no damaged items.

We hired Daniel’s Moving/NEMM to pack two 28’ trailers and in the end, they caused an estimated $4k-$6k worth of damages to our belongings. It’s “estimated” because we’ve yet to receive the final invoice for some of our belongings that are being repaired.

In all, the Daniel’s Moving/NEMM crew showed up to our house… We told the crew that we rented two 28’ trailers and even though we were renting them by the foot, that we had no problem with them using every inch of both trailers, as long as our belongings were safe. They loaded boxes with RED arrows pointing up, upside down. Boxes with 4-6 “FRAGILE” stickers on them were packed on the bottom of stacks with boxes marked “HEAVY” on top.

They packed things that we asked them repeatedly NOT to pack. A box with my Mother’s ashes in it, along with her fragile electronics (iPhone and MacBook) was loaded upside down and at the bottom of a heavy stack.

One crew member injured himself by accepting a bet of another crew member to lift ALL of my wife’s weights at the same time, the owner (Fred Allard) called me asking why one of his guys was at the ER and then said that if my wife and I didn’t write out statements, that we/our insurance could be liable.

After all of this, Fred Allard told us that because we didn’t hire them to drive our belongings to next destination, that they are not liable. When I requested that he just file the claim with insurance, he told me that it could take up to 6 months and that it would likely be denied. After a month, I reached out for an update and was told that he had been busy with personal things and that he would file it. A week later we asked for the claim number and that’s when he began ignoring us and we haven’t heard from him since.

I can’t say enough thanks to these men! They helped move my elderly grandparents and while moving them due to Mother Nature all their furniture was a total loss. The owner was kind enough to donate furniture to them at no cost! On top of that he did at least 2+ hours of work at no cost. My family and I are so very grateful to the 4 men that helped move them. Thank you ALL so much for all the work you did and for your kindness! We will definitely use you again and tell others about you! Thank you THANK YOU!

They helped me with a move from northern Vermont to western Pennsylvania. Great folks. Communication was stellar from first contact through the final sign off on delivery. Impressive packing and handling of all my worldly goods - down some awful stairs no less. Worth every penny. I hope to never ever ever move again, but if I did, I would go with them again.

I inquired about getting a quote. They responded well and set up a day to look at what needed to be moved. I was told I would get a quote the following day. 3 weeks later and 2 emails asking for the quote and I haven't heard a thing from them. No response. Ghosted. I would have loved to use a local company but I guess they don't want to.
