We distinguish ourselves from our competition by never missing a move, employing well-trained moving crews, and operating an efficient and reliable schedule. Our equipment is wholly owned, GPS tracked, and well maintained. If you need to be out by a particular date and require a guaranteed move, we are the movers for you. Additional phone - (508) 281-9173. Additional DBAs - D.N. Vanlines, Inc. DN Van Lines Moving & Storage.
"The move was scheduled for 8AM. The day before the move, we were told the move was rescheduled for 1-1:30PM. On the day of the move, no one showed up by 1:30PM. When we called the office to find out what was happening, we were told that the movers would now arrive between 3-3:30. The movers did not arrive until 4:40 and did not complete the move until 9:30PM. We are very dissatisfied and would not hire this company again."

Family owned & operated. Michael Ellis Senior is the founder & owner of 3E that has over 30 years of experience in the moving industry. He started his career in his hometown of Chicago, IL as a high school student working summers for a local moving company. His work in moving continued through his higher education. Hi increasing passion for the business drove him to start his own company, which eventually led him to the New England area. As the Ellis family grew, so did our business.
"We recently did a local move (about 20 miles) with 3E, and they were great! They arrived right on time, and worked quickly and efficiently to load everything up, and then unload at our new home. Those guys worked quickly, and without any breaks! All of our belongings were handled carefully, the movers were very friendly, and the cost came in below the estimate. How could it be any better?"

"Moving companies are difficult to assess before you hire. Every project is so different that I imagine it can be difficult for any company to anticipate all of a customer's needs. This particular company is among the best because they are easy to book, provide a lot of information and reminders via email, and our crew was stellar. The crew is the most important part of the move. They are doing all the hard work while you the customer may be stressed and even overwhelmed. The crew from Horizon was amazing. They listened, they advised, they worked hard and fast and were very nice. It was the first move we have done that had absolutely no issues. The only aspect missing was a home visit from a company rep. who has also worked as a crew mover. I have actually never had a company do this well. They generally send out someone who does not actually do moving and doesn't know what to watch out for. This company did not feel any visit was necessary in our case, and I agreed at the time, but now fee that it should always be part of the service. You never know how differently those doing the job will see your location. They know what to look for and what to watch out for."

Before hiring a moving company to help you with your move, there are a few things you will want to ask, including:
Is there anything your company won’t move?
Does workers’ compensation cover the crew?
Will you disassemble and reassemble the furniture?
Are there packing restrictions?
Can you guarantee my delivery date?
Can you provide references?
What do you charge extra for?
What is your cancellation policy?
Moving insurance helps protect your belongings from damage or loss during the moving process. This policy can help reimburse you either part of or the total amount of your belongings that become damaged during the moving process. Moving insurance has three main options: full value protection, released value protection, and third-party or separate liability coverage. Speak with your moving company to determine what is covered under each policy and their cost to determine the best fit for your needs.
The average cost to hire movers is between $920 and $2,530 for local moves and $2,700 to $10,000 for long-distance moves. The number of movers you need, the total mileage you’re moving, your moving date, and ease of access to your home all factor into the bottom line.
For example, if you only need one or two movers, you can expect to pay $25 to $50 an hour. However, if you need four or more movers, that charge increases to $100 to $200 an hour. Moving specialty items, like a piano or large aquarium, will incur additional charges.
In the world of professional moving, moves are broken up into two categories—a local move and a long-distance move. A local move is anything considered under 100 miles, regardless if you’re crossing over state lines. A long-distance move is anything over 100 miles, even if you stay in the same state or location.
If you’re hiring movers to help with your move, there are a few things that you can do ahead of time to set yourself (and the moving company) up for success.
Donate or sell items ahead of time to lessen the amount to move
Alert your neighbors (or apartment management) of the move so they can plan for the moving truck to arrive
Pack your belongings securely ahead of your moving date
Disconnect any appliances prior to the moving date
Clear a path for the movers to move freely inside your home
Dispose of hazardous materials
Discuss with your moving coordinator where to unload the boxes
