GBMisleading & bait and switch scheme My belongings were picked up June 14. I told the movers and wrote on the paperwork that my first delivery date was supposed to be June 20. I received a call from One Way on June 21 asking when my first possible delivery date was. I told her that I gave the movers the information as well as writing it on the paperwork I signed. She said she looked and didn't see anything showing a date. The paperwork from One Way is misleading because it says it will be delivered up to 20 days. I received my belongings 34 days later. I had called On Way multiple times and never got an update besides that they were still working on the route. My belongings sat in a warehouse for weeks and no one could give me an answer or some sort of delivery date range. My paperwork with the broker says that if the delivery takes over 30 days, the shipping company is responsible to pay compensation after the 30 days. When I got a call on the 32nd day, I asked about some sort of discount or information on a refund based on the contract I agreed to and signed. The person said that no, there was no discount or credit for being beyond 30 days. The movers did not follow what is stated in the agreement as far as bringing stuff to the location they need to and setting anything taken apart back together. the original people took apart and they never put it together. They just stacked everything in my living room without bringing to any rooms. Many boxes were damaged and a large TV completely smashed in. After I got my stuff, I tried calling One Way to get information about reimbursement after 30 days and information on getting insurance information for the damaged items. I have called 3 times during their posted open hours of operation and no one picked up. I have not been able to get a hold of them. I did receive an email a couple of days ago saying that they never guarantee any delivery timeframe and are not required to pay anything. So don't trust them or the paperwork you sign because they just have a bait and switch scheme.

GBPoor communication and unresponsive One Way Van Lines is unprofessional, unresponsive and will try to pile on extra charges. When loading my belongings into the truck at pick-up, the team did extra packaging (bubble wrap, etc) that they then charged me for. They did not ask me if I wanted to do that (even though I was present the whole time) and I assumed it was a part of the moving/packing estimate I'd negotiated with the company. When I was charged an extra $325, the company representatives refused to discuss any solution. I was told that it was my word against that of their employees and "there was nothing they could do". After multiple attempts to call and email the manager, I filed a claim with my credit card to refuse the charge. Only THEN did I get a prompt reply telling me that I couldn't file a claim for damages while I still owed them money. And yes, my belongings were damaged. Multiple boxes squished (even those clearly marked fragile) and two bookcases cracked/shelves broken. In addition, despite multiple requests for an estimated arrival, I received only 6 hours’ notice of delivery and had to leave work early. The truck traveled from Baltimore to Kansas City, leaving what most would assume is plenty of time to update me that the truck was on its way and to estimate an arrival day. Yet I received ZERO communication until the day of. Do not hire this company.

GBDO NOT HIRE THIS INCOMPETENT COMPANY!!!!!!!! Do not trust anything they tell you or that is in writing (contract). Our entire experience has been very negative. As a first time consumer for hiring a moving company, I feel as though I was taken advantage of. They under estimated my cubic feet by almost 1/3, causing an increase of $1500.00. The damage that our belongings have suffered are unacceptable and non-repairable. The waiting time to receive your belongings is absolutely ridiculous! They don't tell you that they start counting days (business days) from the first day you are available to have your things delivered. In the contract, there is a guarantee for delivery of less that 500 mile, delivery will be within 10 days. Average is 0-6 days for delivery within 500 mile. We moved approximately 370 miles, had belongings picked up on Sept 6., our first day available for delivery was Sept. 18. We finally received our belongings on Oct. 17. That's 6 weeks after pick up and 4 weeks after our first available delivery date. Keep in mind that everyday that you live without your belongings, it costs you extra money because you either have to buy kitchen ware to cook or eat out everyday. What furniture do you use? Eat, sit and sleep....on the FLOOR of your new home! If you ship your clothing, you've got only the clothes that you carried with you in your suitcase, unless you buy more. We moved to our new home and needed to repair a couple things that would have taken minutes, doing it by ourselves. Since the company held my husband's tools hostage, we had to hire people to do the repairs (costing approx. $4500.00). Please do not hire this company unless you don't mind giving your hard earned money away to a company that is only concerned with lining their pockets with it. Side note: Two of the five men that picked up/delivered our belongings expressed their dislike of the company because "they (the company)don't care about their customers".

Their cheerful attitudes and work ethic was amazing! I couldn't have asked for a better team, or a better experience. I would absolutely recommend One way van lines to anyone looking for a quality moving team! Thank you for making a stressful situation so easy!
