Review of Great Plains Moving and Storag...

Do not use Great Plains Moving if you want all you...

Do not use Great Plains Moving if you want all your items to arrive undamaged and clean. I recently used Allied Van Lines for a move from Colorado to Oregon, and when I originally met with the Director of Sales, Jason from their local moving company (Great Plains Moving), he was very nice and responsive. However, once we signed our contract and our items were picked up, the communication stopped. In addition, when their crew arrived to pick up our items, we could immediately tell that the movers/packers were very inexperienced and unprofessional, they moved at a slow paced and did not take extreme precaution to pack the larger items. We paid extra for the express shipping option and did not receive any follow up from Great Plains about our anticipated delivery date, I had to email them several times to finally get a response, with less than a 12 hour window to coordinate the delivery.

Now let's talk about when the items did actually arrive, they were then delivered by another local company. When our items arrived, everything that I packed myself was in great condition, mostly everything that the movers packed were damaged. For example, my curtain rods were shattered, our brand new TV has huge scratches on it, our Tempurpedic bed was filthy on one side and our book case was broken. After taking the time to file a claim, having an adjuster come out, Allied sent me a letter saying that since our deductible was $500 and they assessed our claims to be less than that, we were out of luck. I'm so glad we spent over $4,200 on our move to receive damaged items. Do NOT Great Plains or Allied for your out of state moving needs.
