Committed fraud against my small company. They screen my calls now and refuse to pay for services rendered, a very small fee. They are not trustworthy and I would not recommend even giving them the time of day. If you cannot take responsibility in your own business, are not a man of his word, and no human decency, it's time to come to terms with where you are in this life. read more

Damaged so many things. Hugh end soda, antique furniture. Grandfather clock, exercise equipment. Doug does not return calls has not provided his insurance certificate. Do NOT do business with them. read more

See all

The guys were very organized . Everything went very smoothly. A very good crew. We will not hesitate to use their services again. read more

Low ball estimate then 50% higher bill when finished. Brand new house. Gouged walls, vinyl floors and door frames. Had to help with heavier items or they would not have got moved. Not professional movers. read more

Doug and I had some major miscommunication when I thought I had made everything clear. I maybe responsible for this as well but it seemed like the estimated were completely off, they were not ready for when they came (mainly because of the miscommunication) but at the end I tried sorting this out with Doug, but he stopped replying to me. Truly awful experience. read more

Thank you to Doug and his team for a great moving experience. They were professional and communicative at each stage of the process, were positive, polite and worked incredibly hard, all at a fair price. This is the second time we have used Afford A Move and would do so again. read more

Are you kidding me Doug?? The move was from Newton NH to Effingham NH. The move was in March of 2022. We spoke on the phone to set up the move and you and your female counterpart came to my home in Newton to look at what needed to be moved. What do you think I make this stuff up? Step up and be a man! read more

This group was very responsive - a good and speedy quote then fast and careful work. I would definitely use them again.

Afford-a-move.com was recommended to me by a friend. The owner, called right away. He came and looked over what I had to get rid of. I was pleasantly surprised to find out they could take care of me the same day............. they called first....came out exactly when they said they would and cleaned out everything the same day, as well. The workers, John and Kent were very professional, hard working, and pleasant. They were in and out in no time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. I was very well satisfied with the company. Judy from New Hampshire I read more

My husband and I were more than pleased with our use of Afford-A-Move for a local move! John and Sean were absolutely wonderful! They were knowledgeable about moving, VERY strong, (they LIFTED my console piano!), careful, personable, polite, and professional. We seriously can't say enough good things about them! It was a hot day and they worked for hours without complaint. They even asked if they could do anything else for us at the end of the day....and then did move a few more things for us! The price was also very reasonable. We HIGHLY recommend Afford-A-Move! read more

Stellar service from first phone call to the last box. Really appreciated the quick on-site quote and quick responses to questions after the quote. On the day of the move, the team arrived on time. Truck was super clean, the right size and with all supplies on board. John, Sean and Carlos were strategic, quick and worked together flawlessly. They were all friendly, happy, capable, had great camaraderie and were excellent communicators. There was zero guesswork or surprises in this entire experience. All our stuff landed in the new place in the same exact condition as it left the old! I shopped around and their prices are very fair. Now that the move is done, I can say their service is of exceptional value!! Thank you John Sean and Carlos for all your incredibly hard work!! - Marissa & Brian read more

I had a great experience with this moving company. The owner Doug came out initially for a no-nonsense estimate and gave me a reasonable value for furniture I was looking to have consigned. Later, John, Ion and Greg were my movers and they were wonderful. They were friendly and respectful of my living space. They were careful with my belongings, packing and moving a house worth of furniture into a storage facility on schedule and as quoted. I would definitely use these folks again. read more

Great experience with Doug and his crew. The movers were careful, quick, and affordable. They even stuck around to move heavy furniture, that we put in the garage prior to our official move in date, into the main house. Highly recommend this company. read more

DO NOT USE THESE MOVERS They broke dishes and bowls. Scratched a $3,000 bedroom set dresser and nightstand. Trash barrels, desk chair, file cabinet 2 plastic crates another dresser and lost knobs on furniture. Called 4 times left a message emailed and had my husband call NO RESPONSE. NOT paying my credit card bill an they won't pay him. Owner is a jerk read more

Afford a move did a fantastic job. Alison and Doug in the office were incredibly responsive. We had to move out the night before and in the new house the next day. They were very flexible. Greg, John, Kip, and Shawn worked fast and efficiently getting us in before the blizzard. Very polite and considerate. Would highly recommend them. Price was great too! read more

RUN, RUN, RUN. Heavily damaged furniture, calls to owner not returned, appointments to "fix" furniture repeatedly canceled, told Old English would fix gouges down the front of a bureau, charged way above quote, piece of furniture left behind, a bureau drawer won't close, etc. Owner was there in a minute when I wanted a quote, yet when confronted on the aforementioned issues, he became rude and dismissive. I gave up after 8 weeks of aggravation. Do yourself a big favor-go someplace else. read more

They were just charged with dumping mattresses in the wetlands after a job. Charged costumer to take them away, then just tossed them into a pit in the woods. Luckily they were seen by the police. https://www.newburyportnews.com/news/local_news/movers-charged-with-dumping-mattresses-in-salisbury-wetlands/article_5973438d-544a-59cc-b87f-f9d0ce00c935.html read more

Doug the owner is a total scumbag. My lady used him 3 times. The first was fine, the second she was overcharged and the crew was terrible, taking smoke breaks, arrived in 2 rental trucks and had to pay for their time to switch them out. She called again and spoke to Doug for her third move. He apologized for the last experience and said he would personally be there and would take care of her. On moving day, he was non existent, had to be called to show up. When he did he degraded her, acted like he didn't know a thing, and demanded a cash payment. Totally took advantage of a woman and is a disgrace not only to the industry, but as a man. What a looser.BEWARE don't use this man. Doug, I will be stopping by to pay you a visit at The Catch All. read more

I can't say enough good things about this moving company. Greg, Kip and Aidan were professional and careful with our furniture and household items. The move was reasonably priced including the bartering we did for the furniture we were not taking with us. No question I would use this company again. read more

Beware this is the worst moving company I've ever used the owner dog who also Catch All is a scammer. They quoted me one price and then when they finish the move and the day was over they charge me $500 more and wouldn't leave and less I won't them a check I'm going to leave a review for the catchall which is another place you stay away read more

I hired them last year to move a piano and was quoted $350. Only two movers showed up and told me that I would have to help them! I was the third mover and almost seriously hurt myself moving a piano. I was still charged $350 at the end! The two men that showed up argued with each other a lot and talked behind each other's backs. They damaged my stairs and broke an electrical outlet while moving. After getting off the phone with his boss, he told me that the insurance company would arrive in a day or two to assess the damage. I overheard his telephone call with his boss and he never mentioned anything about the damage. He lied to me. I called the owner and confirmed it by telling him about the damage and he had no idea. I was told that he would personally come to my house to fix the damage but I have never heard from him again. I do not recommend this company. read more

Afford A Move - Movers Near Me - Salisbury, Massachusetts

7 month later an Bozo Doug has yet to call back. Hiring the unprofessional was the biggest mistake of my life. To bad I have to give it 1 star as it deserves none read more

I hired them to move all my furniture (including some antique items) from my storage unit into my new place. They were fast, knowledgeable, and very professional. One of the men had 23 yrs experience of moving. They treated my items with care and made sure everything was put where I wanted it and put back together. read more

DO NOT HIRE this company----RUN away from this company!!!! DO NOT even think about hiring this moving company, they are less then experienced and the owner is a lying crook! I will tell a 1,000 people how horrific this move was! His crew showed up over an hour late, reeked of booze and only two out of the three guys were capable, one totally useless and came with a cracked head and broken ribs!!! I was promised a supervised move by the owner due to my last experience of being charged DOUBLE for the exact same move I had just a year before and treated very disrespectfully to say the least.. They were great first round, but the owner herded them and verbally abused them the entire move, second move the owner was non-existent and they were awful! I am smarter then that but called Doug and told him of my hesitation and concern as my last move was double the cost and had the same items... He assured me he will make sure he's on the move and I trusted him so agreed to move forward. what a huge mistake. When he was a no show his leader called after I refused to sign a blank contract as nothing was written about my move and the price was not what I was told and who signs a blank contract?! I worked for a very reputable moving company for many years and good companies just don't do this! After about 20 minutes he showed up after he basically called me a liar on the phone and acted as tho he had no recollection of my concerns or our conversation previously when he promised to be on the move and acted so important and busy but the reality is he's a total liar and a scum bag!! He demanded cash upon his arrival to my pick up location and threatened to walk off the job as thousands of dollars of my belongings were already in his moving truck.... I was bullied and abused by this man and had no choice but to pay him immediately or god only knows what he was capable of! Please, please, please DO NOT use this company, he's a total dishonest scum bag!!!! RUNNNN!!! YOU will regret hiring this loser!!!!!! You deserve better, they are a ZERO!!!!!!!!! read more

Afford-a-Move in Salisbury just moved my family and I in July and I couldn't have asked for a more affordable and professional company. On one of the hottest days this summer they were on time and worked hard throughout the day and completed the job on schedule while handling all of our belongings with care. Not only were they the best prices when I shopped around but their estimate was perfect and cost me what they had projected. I highly recommend this moving company to anyone looking to move in the Seacoast region. read more

The young men that moved us were so polite and helpful. They worked with our schedule when the closing on our house ran late. They tried to put large items through small doors just to get it where we wanted it. There were a couple of scratched items but that is to be expected when moving your whole house in a truck across state lines. read more

Doug, the owner, who is 75 and can barely walk came over to give us a quote a week ago to move some furniture in our home to other rooms within our home. He stated it required 3 men with a minimum of 4 hrs for just under $700.00. We agreed and gave a deposit of $100.00 and we were scheduled for Tuesday Oct. 6 at 9:00 A.M. for the job. On 10/6 at 9:00 A.M. only 2 guys show up and said that the 3rd guy did not come to work that day. When we called the office we were given a run around and finally given Doug's number. We called him and he stated he would resolve it and call me back. Our request was to reschedule the job. He never called back, but had Derrick contact us to say that they would not be doing the job and would be refunding our deposit. I called Doug to find out what was going on and he stated that he did not want to do business with us after were inconvenienced and had spent hours moving items in preparation for the movers doing their job. He is a liar & wasted our time. Do not trust him at all! read more

Best "Move" I ever made!Prompt,courteous and careful.Good price.I recommended them to a neighbor.GOOD JOB !

"I had a wonderful experience from start to finish! I encountered courteous and knowledgeable phone representatives every time I called in with questions or to schedule a pick up. The gentleman who picked up the container from our home was very friendly and even allowed our son to "help" with the removal of our container from our old house. He really made our 6 year old's day. Please tell him how much we appreciated his kindness. I will definitely be recommending your company to everyone I know!" I would highly recommend Afford-A-move Thanks you all Mike, NH read more

I had a different experience. Worked with the son who made sure everything went smoothly. Strong, energetic, did a great job & were easy to work with. Recommend them! read more

terrible service, terrible owner, doesnt know what the definition of customer service is at all. dont give these people your business read more

Stay Away! Our worse movers EVER! Broke, damaged, gouged, scratched, or destroyed nearly ever piece of wood furniture we owned (futon, bed, hand painted tables, glass top table, table legs, chairs, etc). Damaged door frames, walls during the move. Very inexperienced college kids moving the furniture for their summer jobs! Our couch needed to be professionally cleaned after the move! All calls made to owner (Doug) to resolve this claim for damages have been ignored and we have not had any resolution to our issues. Doug has been rude since the beginning, I cancelled the move after I first met him, and I was talked out of it. My instincts proved to be correct--they were a bad unprofessional from the start and proved to be to the end! Our recourse may be legal at this point. Go with a professional mover with National Affiliations!! read more

The owner lied to us a couple times. During the delivery, one of the movers was hinting for a big tip which we found unprofessional and when they were tipped he wanted the money from one of the other movers who owed him and did the exchange in front us. It was awkward. There was a big gouge in our $5000 China cabinet and their "fix" was a bottle of Old English. There was dents on our sideboard. I wouldn't recommend Afford A Move if you have really expensive furniture. read more

Successful move with Afford-a-Move! The guys are awesome and really hardworking. They were timely and efficent. I would truly recommend them to anyone who is moving. They are fast and careful. The whole moving process went smooth and easy. I did not have to worry about a thing. read more

The crew complained the whole time about where I was storing my stuff . They took apart my table without asking, and left a rug behind. I would not recommend them. You get what you pay for. When I expressed my dissatisfaction I was told if I used them again they would put the table together. read more
