Our Reviews
made sure our day was seamless
"The team showed up this morning on-time and did a great job laying out the plan - what would be needed from me, what they would be doing. The whole crew was very nice, efficient, and professional. After all the time packing, it was such a relief to leave the rest to these guys. They treated all our items with care and made sure our day was seamless, which was especially important since we had a flight to catch later in the day. Thank you so much for making our move stress-free!"

by far the best moving company
"I’m active duty military and have moved around quite a bit and dealt with many different moving companies. I can easily say Planes moving is by far the best moving company that has packed and moved my house. The employees they send out are extremely professional, friendly and have gone out of their way to take care of my stuff. Jake and his boys today were efficient and extremely courteous today. I will definitely be letting the military know to keep using planes moving."

AMAZING
"I had THE best experience with my Planes moving crew! The five men I had moving my stuff from a third floor condo were AMAZING! They hustled from the get go, they were polite, accommodating, ready to get it done and fun. I would recommend these guys to any and everyone. Griffin and his team are wonderful and I am so grateful for all their help! Thanks guys!"

FAQs
The best way to check on the status of your items during transit is by contacting your move coordinator.
Yes! A good pack job means wrapping items carefully, including lots of cushioning in each box, using sturdy cartons that close completely and clearly labeling each box. If you choose to pack your goods yourself, we can provide you with videos and guides that show the correct methods of packing your items! Should you select our packing service, you can feel confident in our expertise: our skilled crews are trained in the best packing techniques for both common and specialty items.

Local moves are charged at an hourly rate, so cost is based on the time it will take to move all of your belongings from your current home to your new home.
Yes, but how much protection you have and its cost to you depend upon the “valuation” option you choose – Basic Protection/ Released Value Liability (60 cents per pound per article, 30 cents per pound per article in Illinois), or Full-Value Protection based on the dollar amount you declare. Ensure that you accurately value your belongings so that you are covered appropriately. We also recommend that you speak with your insurance agent about your Home Owner’s Policy to see if you have any coverage for your belongings during a move.
Basic coverage, which is provided at no additional charge means that our maximum liability for loss or damage to any article in your shipment is 60/30 cents multiplied by the weight of the article. What does that mean? If you have a 50” flat screen TV that weighs 25 lbs. you will receive $15.15 to cover the damage. Our crews do everything they can to prevent damage to your belongings but in the rare instances where items incur damage, it is important to understand the type of coverage you have. Valuation does work a little differently if you have a local vs. a long distance move. So, if you have any additional questions, be sure to ask one of our moving experts.
