Review Analysis

Clear patterns emerge from feedback about Great Plains Moving and Storage: Many customers report working with professional, polite movers who handle belongings with care, provide responsive updates, and efficiently manage the moving process. Positive feedback often highlights good communication with coordinators like Liz and Chad, quick service, and helpful teams that follow through even when challenges arise. On the other hand, more than half of input indicates frustration with frequent property damage, poor communication after contracts are signed, and late arrivals or missed delivery windows. Clients regularly mention lost or broken items and have difficulty getting claims resolved. Compared to other movers, Great Plains stands out when the staff is attentive and detail-oriented but falls short when consistency slips, especially in communication and item safety. Out of 157 reviews, only about 41% reflect a positive experience, while a significant 53% voice major concerns, showing that quality depends greatly on which team and staff handle the move.
