1-star Google reviewDean C.12 years ago
Overall rating of Planes Moving & Storage of Dayton: Very poor, untrustworthy. The employees of Planes Moving & Storage employed displayed a basic lack of integrity and commitment to avoiding responsibility for damages caused to my property. The attitude of demeanor of the unloading crew while at my house was negative, and had blatant disregard for my property (for example, setting a $300 amplifier upside down, being rough/careless with delicate items, etc.) The truck driver and unloading crew heavily damaged my…

I have moved a lot during my 18 years of military service and this was the worst company I ever dealt with. Unprofessional, unorganized, passive aggressive and dishonest. They showed up late, were not organized, and the foreman was not even on site until the afternoon. One of the crew said that the foreman and himself work out every day at a gym, and the day prior they worked all day then worked out for many hours at the gym, which is why the foreman is only driving the truck that day.

2-star Google reviewNatasha H.3 years ago
Moved from Ohio to Louisiana, the pack out team in Ohio was great! I got a full service move and these guys managed to wrap, box up, load, and store my entire household in one day. The trouble started on delivery day when the United truck driver relayed that he left a bookshelf in Ohio because it didn't fit on the truck. I called my coordinator, who had been very responsive and informative, to ask about scheduling another delivery. She knew nothing of this nor did the Planes operations team.

Natasha, we're sorry to hear you were dissatisfied with our services. Quality customer service and doing business with honesty and integrity are extremely important to us.

1-star Google reviewJoshua L.Edited 7 years ago
I wish I could give zero stars. Planes moving and storage is the worst moving service in Dayton. They've twice botched our military moves. The management office will not make a single effort to help you. Do yourself and your family a favor and litterally look anywhere else...seriously anywhere else. I will reach out...at my convenience. Because when we needed help, your front office told me, "we can't help you." For a week my son didn't have preserved breast milk.

1-star Google reviewMaria P.9 years ago
I don't even want to give any stars. Probably the worst moving company. The packers broke my bed frame and foundation not even an hour into the packing out of pure negligence. Out of all the 10 packers we had, only 2 were professional. The others were kids who were mostly talking and messing around. When we arrived to our destination the packers who unloaded our things said whoever packed the crates did a horrible job because the way things were stacked.

Maria, thank you for bringing this to our attention. From a review of the file associated with your move, you would need to contact DSP. That number is [phone removed].

2-star Google reviewHeather S.6 years ago
I hired them to load a U-haul. The guys were nice and responsive to what I wanted, so I left them alone to do their work. At the end, I saw that the back of the track still had a lot of room and only a mattress was holding the load in. I also saw a lot of heavy items placed on top of other items. I knew that was gonna be trouble but it was too late. Sure enough when I got to my destination, all the stuff on top fell down below. I haven’t opened boxes yet but I’m afraid there’s gonna be some broken items.
2-star Google reviewJustin T.Edited 5 years ago
After unpacking our stuff and the move, edited the 5 star review to 2 stars. Our monitors were packed with other items into one box, no protections. We had damaged items that should have been wrapped better. But they'll wrap a 2 dollar ceramic decoration and not wrap an individual expensive item. They also gave us the wrong sized mattress protectors, and didn't bother to put them on. Just left. They finished our packing 1 day early, and it caused loading day to last way too long. More could have been done.

Thanks for the review, Justin. We appreciate it.

1-star Google reviewRyan N.3 years ago
I am currently waiting for the movers after being 5 hours late with absolutely no communication. They confirmed yesterday they would show up in the morning and no one showed up after no contact. My card has also already been charged. Moving is a very stressful time and this seems like an unacceptable thing to drop the ball on. I understand things come up but zero contact after hours of follow up calls is disappointing. I hope someone from Planes reaches out to make this right.

5-star Google reviewLarry C.8 years ago
This the second time we've used Planes Moving & Storage for a household move and once again Planes did an outstanding job. The four-man crew arrived right on time and immediately got work. They were fast, efficent, and careful. The estimated cost was right on the money and the move went off without a hitch. We could not have been more pleased with the results. If you are in need of professional movers we highly recommend Planes Moving & Storage. From the support staff to the crew they were awesome.

Planes provided excellent service. Good communication, reasonable pricing and comfortable interactions The movers were quick, almost half of the time that I had estimated and a little less than they estimated. They were pleasant and seemed to be considerate of the risk of damaging the furniture and goods being moved. I will use Planes for my next move

5-star Google reviewRyan M.7 years ago
Planes Moving & Storage moved my family back to Columbus and the experience could not have gone any better! From the initial quote process, the talented crew and the physical execution, everything was professional, on time and of the highest quality. We had one day to move based on our schedule, had to complete it all quickly and had a lot of valuable and sentimental items - we knew we needed professionals to secure our family's belongings, and everything not only was moved without a single scratch, we were moved…

5-star Google reviewTeresa C.4 years ago
I have moved roughly 13x in my lifetime and I have to say this was the best experience I have ever had with moving. They were highly professional asking to see layout so they could get a good idea for where things would go. They were quick but not sloppy or haphazardly. They double checked with me on every piece of furniture and box as to where they go. They placed everything in each appropriate room making it very easy to not only walk through my place but to go through boxes.
