The only redeeming quality of our move (and thus the single star) was the positive experience I had scheduling the move with our move coordinator, Hannah. The rest of the experience was so disappointing and I still don’t feel like things have been resolved to my satisfaction. It’s unacceptable that a company like Planes, who positions themselves as a premium move provider, could 1) mess up scheduling by putting a job before ours, knowing that we had a required “no later than” destination arrival time that was out…

I booked their moving service through United Van Lines. The overall experience is miserable, especially considering how much reputation the company got. Packing: - The belongings were supposed to be packed on the first day and moved on the 2nd. However, they asked to do it in one day and I agreed. That is the first sign but I wasn't aware. - On the moving day, I was asked to sign the paperwork while workers are still finishing up packing, with the promise that they will do the final walkthrough with me.

We continue to get the run around from Planes Moving & Storage. Our mattress and base were originally supposed to be delivered 4/28 by 5:30pm. We received a call from a private number at 2:50pm on the 28th saying we were good to go for Friday 5/1. We stated that they were supposed to be here by 5:30pm today (4/28). They stated that a driver had been hurt and they could not get it to us before Friday 5/1. They also stated that they tried to get a hold of us earlier in the day, but were unsuccessful.

We used Planes Moving and Storage for a local move (5 miles) in Columbus, Ohio. We had multiple quotes, but went with them with the thought that they were a big company with a lot of resources. We came to find out that they use contracted teams for their moving services. I did not know this going in, but it definitely contributes to a lack of accountability. The teams were different people on different days, so there was a disjointed feeling to the whole process.

Planes moved us the end of June from Mansfield to North Carolina. We just now received our belongings just because it is PCS season and alot of military families move during the summer. The guys were very fast but not careful with our items.They did not list our high end items on a sheet nor did they label them. Our 60 inch plasma TV flat screen was just thrown in a box with no bubble wrap or anything we still have yet to make sure it works.

planes packed us for our military PCS during summertime of 2025 from Fairborn oh to monument co. They overpacked almost all of the boxes, and all of our garage items are just mixed up and broken into massive boxes as well. They literally didn’t carefully pack anything, just stuffed as much as they could in boxes. Even the movers had a hard time putting things upstairs because of how overpacked the boxes were. Nevermind the fact that my kitchenaid was stored upside down and leaked grease everywhere.

The worst place to have your moving done have had lots of damage. If they tell you, to talk to Kelle don’t waist your time does not answer or return calls. Would not suggest them for anything.Just a few photos I’m sure they will get removed. Still missing stuff. Also they lost a 387 lb safe???? They eventually figured it out!!!!!!!
Reply from the business

We are so sorry for the confusion on your delivery. Unfortunately, the safe was mislabeled which is why it wasn't included in your initial delivery. We're glad that the issue could quickly be identified and the safe could be delivered to you.

I used United for a interstate move which ended up being with Planes Moving Company. I've had 3-4 interstate moves in the past. I would consider this the worst by far. I would not recommend this company to anyone. …

5-star Google reviewLisa H.2 weeks ago
I moved to my new home in July. I used Planes Moving and I have say that the crew was fast, efficient and careful with everything they moved out of my old house and into the new. The guys even came up with a better way to arrange the spare bedroom in the new house than what I had planned! The crew was friendly and fun. It was a great crew, and I think their names were Brian, Ramon, Jason and Bryan. I highly recommend Planes Moving and Storage for a smooth and stress free move.

They’re prompt, if not early at times. Be ready for action. The three man crew on my origination move were fast. The three men at destination equally so.

5-star Google reviewRenee A.2 months ago
I recently moved from Ohio to California and I was treated like I was the whole company's beloved grandmother. They treated me very well, asked a lot of questions, packed things securely, provided everything I needed and actually took away most of the anxiety and pressure of a cross=country move. I was 100% impressed with the furniture move from the initial call, to signing the papers when my possessions were securely in my storage unit.
