Plandome Moving Companies 2025

DO NOT USE.
SCAM ARTISTS. PRICE GOUGERS.
WAITED ELEVEN HOURS OF MY TIME. DO NOT USE THEM.

Continued to push their arrival time every hour until it conveniently became an emergency for me to justify their price gouging.

My moving company could not fit my couch through the door and had to leave it behind, so I needed an emergency mover to disassemble/reassemble. Mind you, my entire apt move was only $535 total.

They said they'd arrive from 10-1. Im waiting at my EMPTY (no electric or water) apartment for 2.5 hours when I get a text that they wont be there till 3pm. Fine. 2pm rolls around, I check if theyre still going to be there at 3pm.

When it hits 3:30 they say no, it will now be 5pm. Shitty, so I leave and decide I'll come back later. I wish I had called another company at this point. I come back to my old apt again at 6:30 and check their eta, they say sorry it'll be 7:30...

At 7pm I get a text that they're 59 minutes away according to Google Maps (this was a lie). 40 minutes later, they text saying that they're crossing the Brooklyn Bridge. Im baffled, because if they were really 59 minutes away, they would have been deep into Brookyln already. If theyre at the Brooklyn Bridge, theyre at least another 40-50 min away. It's 7:40 at this point.

I'm waiting till 8:30 when I get another text, saying they're at a cross street that's about a 10 minute drive from me. Another BLATANT lie. It hits 9pm (no traffic or road closures, mind you. They arrive at 9:20pm.

These scam artists were likely never stuck in traffic in Manhattan, they were never 'on their way'. They waited with their thumbs up their bums, wasting ELEVEN HOURS of my time so they could make this even more of an emergency for me to justify their price gouging.

They get there and say it'll be $850. EIGHT HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS.

My ENTIRE APARTMENT MOVE was only 535. This is JUST a couch with NO CUSHIONS (img below from that morning). All they had to do was take the arms off.

Naturally, I went off on them. Absolutely INSANE price-gouging. I had been quoted 400-600 that morning, and they nearly tried doubling it. I got them down to 700, which is STILL insanely unreasonable. I lived on the second floor and was moving to a building with a massive elevator -- they didnt need to take the stairs at all.

These people are SCAM ARTISTS. DO NOT USE THEIR SERVICE
