As rude as they come. Called to see if he was available to move some furniture so they our hardwood floors can be done. He barked at his minimum fees which I was OK with. But then I asked if he was available on a certain date, that's where he became rude and un professional and wouldn't even answer the question. Told me to call back when I'm ready to sign a contract and collect his cash. I asked him again about the particular day and he continued with the callback when I'm ready to sign a contract crap. How This guy is still in business is beyond me. read more

Call Dan when you are ready to move. He doesn't mess around and can seem a little gruff at first but he and his team are great! Reliable, quick, and efficient. They moved my entire home with no issues in record time ! read more

DO NOT USE! Beyond unprofessional and his behavior was disgusting. Apologize for the language below but it's important to know who you are dealing with if you wanted to go with Dan the affordable moving man. My wife and I have used Dan for years and have thrown a lot of business his way and how he treated us and spoke to and about my wife is reprehensible. Due to issues with a home renovation being massively delayed, we had to change the move date. Dan was super rude on the phone with my wife and told her he needed $400, in cash, before he would even look at another move date. We called 10+ days before the scheduled move. When he showed up to collect said payment, my wife told him how hurt she was by how he spoke to her (A 15 year client) on the phone. Dan proceeded to swear repeatedly at her and call her a "Fucking Bitch". When I called Dan to demand an apology he did not answer and then proceeded to call her and us disgusting names via text messages which are attached below. This is how a third generation mover and someone in a "people" business speaks to and about long term customers. Imagine what he will do and say about you. Do not use Dan under any circumstances. Dan Vernay Jr is the owner of the business and the below interaction was with Dan himself via text message after his barrage on my wife. read more

If I could pick less than one star, I would. Terrible. Just finished a call with "Dan the Affordable Moving Man" and he man-splained things as though I was a dummy. I asked him a question about whether he had availability for my desired moving date and demanded that I first agree to move forward. I asked him how can I move forward if I don't know if he has availability and he proceeded to tell him he didn't want my business and hung up on me. Rude. Unprofessional. Misogynistic. Hey here's a tip "Dan" - the business transaction is a mutually respectful arrangement where we both need to be able to communicate. If I can't have a simple question answered without being spoken to unprofessionally and then hung up on, how am I supposed to trust you with my move? I wouldn't recommend you to my worst enemy. read more

Price gouging!! Dan had moved me in at the House of the Good Shepherd in Hackettstown. The move with 2 men wearing masks went fine. I called him to help move me just across the complex. He attempted to price gouge me. In November 2 men had spent 3 1/2 hours moving us in. $400 as quoted. This time he starts ranting that he need 3 men at $125 an hour for a minimum of 5 hours for a minimum of $ 625. I reminded him that there was 1 couch and 1 chair less. and that 2 men did it in less time. He became irate. He started yelling that he was not having his men wear masks and not able to breathe and stormed out, continuing to yell at me as he went down the hallway. Never have I had such bad behavior directed at me. I may be in a wheelchair, but I'm not stupid to be taken in by a thief. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DON'T USE HIM. read more

I was given's Dan information for moving two Bedrooms from East Hanover to Watchung after several companies weren't able to accommodate without charging for 6 hours. Dan himself along with a helper moved my things quickly without any damage to the walls considering the needed to go down a narrow hallway. Very happy with the service received and would recommend to anyone looking to move. Lisa R read more

If you are moving....without a doubt book Dan the Affordable Moving Man. He and the other movers are not only so nice, professional and personable, but extremely talented and hardworking. We were amazed at how quickly they loaded everything into their truck. When our big sectional sofa would not fit through the hallway, they continued to try to bring it in and went above and beyond trying until it worked. It was so impressive that they did not give up and really showed how hard they work. They are just amazing and still so much more affordable than any other moving company. By far the BEST experience with movers we have ever had. We will only be using them for all future moves and you should do the same! read more

Dan and Par handled my recent move. They were efficient, careful, and got the job done quickly. This was my ninth move, so I've seen a range of movers, and these guys knew what they were doing. The pricing was fair and just how Dan had described it when I booked the move. In fact, because they finished a bit early, the cost was less than the estimate. I would hire them again. read more

I worked directly with Dan (the owner) and he truly went out of his way to be accommodating to give me not only the date I needed to move but also to help me navigate getting my belongings out of an unscrupulous storage unit. He sent three movers to me and they arrived right in time. They were professional, efficient and just all around nice guys! It made a stressful time in my life so much easier. Highly recommended and fair prices! Thank you so much! read more

I reached out to the office for assistance in a move but really didn't have a lot of things so was they provided me an alternative to assist me and possibly save money. Jamie the customer service rep was very helpful and easy to work with. read more

Zero Stars for his verbal abuse. Words that came from his mouth left me shaking. I cannot write here what he said. All this because I asked if does last minute moves. He was beyond the most offensive vile "professIonal" i have ever dealt with. He followed it up with a text. read more

Dan the Affordable Moving Man - Movers Near Me - Newton, New Jersey

Horrible !!!! Do not even call this mover !!! Called just to ask for moving 3 pc furniture set .... he was literally yelling at me over the phone total u know what a******* !! So rude and unprofessional !! I rarely leave reviews but this I had to !! read more

Call for a quote, And when i asked if he was available on a certain date he told me to call him back once i speak to my husband and was sure i told him i was sure if the date was available and then freaked out and told me i dont get and he doesn't want me business hangs up and when i call back to try and explain he calls me a dumb whore before hanging up again I am personally disused by this man and noone should even give him business read more

Extremely rude and unprofessional. Used the "F" word and hung up on me.

Terrible exp. My sister booked Dan for 9/2 and paid him $400 in cash. 10 days prior she was taken into Morristown Hospital and was inpatient for ,2 weeks. I ( her twin sister) called Dan 5 xs and no response. All I wanted to do was move her date out or use our $400 credit to simply unload a 10x10 storage unit. On my 6th call I get a nasty text message from Dan stating my sister cancelled last minute and basically 'Too bad-Sucks to be You attitude) He sent me harassing texts and claimed he didn't have to call me back since " I wasn't the client" I could understand that position if it wasn't my address that he was moving her from or even the fact that I actually gave my sister the money for the deposit. Dan was rude, unprofessional and down right nasty. Doing the right thing would've made him a hero. Instead, he will now be exposed for the self serving, unprofessional that he is. I would not trust him. It's obvious that his mood can turn in a second and he's all about helping himself. Shame because an affluent family in Mendham recommended him and now they'll never ever say his name again. Mean. My sister was in ICU for God's sake and he couldn't even call or text me back? He tried to say I never called him. I'm holding my metro statement as we speak. He's a liar! read more

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE. I called, direct to vm, they called back - no msg. I called them back, they answered finally and reached a guy who barked out rules and asked if I had a pen and paper 3x. $100 an hour, 2 guys, min 4 hrs, if that's good to let them know. I said I'm ok with the fees generally and need to know their availability, they barked the rules again. I responded I was hopeful to know their availability. The guys raised his voice and said, "You said GENERALLY, I don't think that is confident enough," AND HUNG UP ON ME. What kind of business is this? Cash only.... short tempers... hanging up on potential clients? No thanks. read more

Don't know where all these negative reviews came from as our experience with Dan and company was 100% positive. Dan came promptly to give us a moving quote, he walked us through all the applicable Jersey paperwork, and required no money in advance. On moving day Dan's guys showed up right on time and quickly, cleanly, and professionally loaded a 26' truck with items ranging in size and complexity from a glass floor lamp to a pair of 17' aluminum canoes. They arrived at the destination on time, and unloaded a truck-ful with not one item misplaced or damaged. We'll be moving again this year and we'll certainly be calling on Dan again. read more

The rudest business owner ever! Walked away from a call with Dan scratching my head. He walked me through his rehearsed pitch & when I asked one question which was ..."how much do you think the total hours & price will be", he told me he doesn't play games & hung up in my face! All I was trying to get was a sense of the overall scope...basic question I think. I would have paid double what I thought he was going to charge because I was in a pinch. read more

OMG The phone was answered, Hello? I asked if it was the moving company, YEAH, what do you want? After a quick list of THEIR rules and regulations, i asked about the availability since I had a limited window to work in. "Call us back when you are ready to book" But, are you even available? CALL US BACK -- Unprofessional. Zero customer service. I hung up --- lot's of other choices out there. Don't waste your time here read more

After my first phone call with "Dan", which was followed up with a second call, as I could not believe the outcome of the first, I knew we could not to business together, no matter what the cost. Sometimes it's better to know who not to work with, upfront, than on the tail end. Be careful..... read more

The movers showed up to my house and one of them brought his pet cockroach with him. I thought, okay this is weird, but I tried to ignore it. My sister later offered them some water in case they needed a break and the other mover body slammed her into the ground. They called me a slur and told me to go back to my country and then took my dog as payment. read more

I'm sorry it took me so long to write this review We moved on July 24th I had emergency surgery on the 21st and was in the hospital on moving day. Dans crew were great moving all our boxes and things we weren't sure they'd move. My husband said everyone was pleasant and friendly. They also moved my daughter into our new house the next day and she was pleased with them too. Thanks Dan for great service and great prices read more

I have never used a moving company and was a bit nervous. I called Dan and seemed ok on the phone, he came to my house to fill out paperwork and we all got to talking and all around he is a good guy! The movers showed up 7am sharp ready to go, all 3 guys were amazing, friendly with us and the kids. We had a ton of stuff and can't believe they packed and unloaded in 5hrs! Once they left I sent Dan a personal message to let him know that I was super satisfied and impressed with his crew. I will for sure recommend and or use them again for any moving services in the future! read more

He sucks. The movers were wise guys and taking frequent smoke breaks. when leaving and turning the truck around I warned them how to do it but they backed up and hit my deck read more

First off, he is uninsured. When you ask about this he will have a royal attitude. He is just an out and out rude guy that literally treats the jobs he does like he's doing you a favor! He's cheap because he's sloppy and he breaks and damages furniture and walls. You get what you pay for and with him, he charges far more than he's worth read more

We got movers for a 3-story home and they didn't disappoint!! The three movers were super kind, professional, friendly, careful, and quick. They moved the entire home without damaging anything. They had great attitudes and went out of their way to make everything fit, especially when taking things down to the basement. Also much more affordable than multiple other places we contacted regarding the move. Highly recommend this moving service and really appreciative of the three movers!! read more

My experience was horrific and costly leaving me with damages I did not have before they ever showed up. Furniture and clothes left behind after we moved. NO furniture set up. Plastic still everywhere, boxes left behind, no set up. Furniture was left outside. He was supposed to send 3 men he sent 2 and a 4 -5 hrs move took 11 hours. I have over $1000 of damages and when I spoke with Dan he was yelling and screaming saying his guys did a great job and proceeded to curse me out and hang up. No response after pictures were sent that showed their shotty work. HE ALSO SCREAMED WHAT DO YOU WANT WE DO NOT HAVE INSURANCE TO OFFER. If he can't back up his motto of being affordable he should be removed from business. I have filed a complaint with the state licensing bureau. read more

Spoke to Dan few days before the actual moving day, he was able to accommodate me immediately. His guys came 7:15am as planned and the move was seamless and went quickly with no issues. You will not find a better price around northern NJ. read more

We have been able to use Dan for the past three moves that we've done! He is honest, professional, and incredibly hard working. He does a fantastic job moving within the specified limits and there are no hidden fees to worry about! He does a great job at estimating and quoting each job based on the furniture that you have, and lays out his rules/requirements up front at all so there are no surprises. He has a helper Tim that is excellent as well, and a super friendly pup that sometimes tags along for the ride! We will definitely use Dan again, and again, and again... although we're hoping that we don't need to move that much! Nothing about moving is ever fun, but Dan makes the process more than tollerable! He even had so many stairs to go up and down, but him and Tim did it with a smile and a great attitude! read more

Don't, just don't use him. They came with a truck too small for the job. Left just flat out said the truck is full. Dan the insane moving man came prior to assess inaccurately the job. 3 plus hrs away was my move. Dan the man who after they abandoned my stuff , I called he screamed and hung up. The drivers got lost , dan the non professional had wrong address, the quote came in much higher in the end and I'm driving 3 hrs back today to retrieve my things. I REPEAT DONT USE HIS SERVICES. read more

Called to get a quote on moving from Mount Arlington to Wharton sounded like a recording the way he was talking to me didn't wanna answer any of my questions cut me off every question I asked then start screaming on the phone when I asked how long dose it normally take and then hung up on me. When I called back he was screaming on the phone so loud I couldn't even understand him and hung up on me again. Extremely unprofessional!!!!! Doesn't know how this guy gets any business. read more

If you like to be regimented and yelled at then look no further! You will be told that they are the boss and if you can't handle it then you can go and f' yourself Great way to handle business Dan The Affordable Moving Man! Good luck!! read more

I recently used Dan for a move. He was verbally abusive, exhibited violent behavior and I nearly called the police. The experience was utterly appalling and I would strongly discourage anyone from considering his services. read more

I've needed a couple weeks to process what I went through before I could even post this. To give him one star just to make a post is enough to make me sick to my stomach. As a woman and a mother it is beyond comprehension to be as verbally abused as I was but this was one of the most disgusting and disturbing things anyone should ever have to go through from their moving company, more specifically Dan the owner. I unfortunately had unforeseen circumstances at the home I was moving into and I needed to change my move in date. I gave ample notice with the full intention of using Dan for the later move. Dan was rude, disrespectful and not understanding to any of the circumstances and demanded his $400 in cash before he would consider even looking at another date. Upon arrival to retrieve his $400 in cash I told him that my feelings were hurt as to how he spoke to me on the phone and that I've given him so much business and referrals over the years (9 moves) and I would have thought there would be more respect. Dan immediately flipped out and called me a fucking bitch, piece of shit, scumbag and he hopes that whoever I find to move me doesn't show up and completely fucks me over. This behavior and verbiage was in front of my parents at their home who he also completely disrespected. He continued to yell profanities and curse words as he walked out of their house. From that point he rage texted horrible things about me and my family that I don't feel is appropriate to even share on here. I truly have no words for this experience but I implore you to NEVER EVER use Dan the affordable moving man. I'm not sure I will ever process what this was like and what he put my family and I through. But please do not ever call him or even consider using his services and supporting such an abusive horrible person. read more

I have never in my life been spoken to the way Dan spoke to me . He actually called me a scumbag because I decided to use another moving company. He was the most unprofessional, rude, and condescending person I have EVER dealt with. I'm so pissed I have to give him 1 star. Do yourself a favor don't even call this guy he's an absolute POS !!! Trust me with his attitude he'll be out of business soon . read more

Both my brother and I have used Dan the Man for several moving jobs large and small, Dan and his staff are highly trained professionals and provide exceptional service. They can make your move quickly and efficiently, you will get an estimate by how much time it will take that is extremely accurate. Remember they are movers not packers so do your packing and be ready to go when you set a time and date with Dan the Man .. Highly recommended !!!! Glenn Cornella read more

Not sure if someone was just having a bad day but called to see if they would be able to work with us next weekend realizing it's short notice because we just sold our house. The person who answered the phone was extremely rude to both my husband and I. He just kept yelling about signing a contract and all we were trying to confirm was whether he was available for next Saturday for us to book before we signed a contract. When I called back to try to confirm a date he started yelling saying that he will only speak to one person not two and just kept yelling about a contract and wouldn't let us get a word in edgewise or answer if he was able to book for next week. Based on the rudeness of the phone call we decided not to give them any money and would not recommend to work with. read more
