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".

GBWorst moving company EVER!! Worst moving company EVER!!! It seems that they go by several different names but when we used them they were called Landmark Movers. They never told me that they were supposedly a "brokerage" company who outsource the actual move. They outsourced with One-way Van lines. They told me that our furniture would be delivered between the 1st and 2nd of August so they would pickup on the 27th of July. They picked up on the 27th and used extra materials that were not asked for so they tried to charge an extra $75 just for wrapping the couches which I never asked them to do. The guy packed the truck with the exact items on the truck and said that the cubic feet was over and he called dispatch and they said that it would be an extra $400 which I told them I didn't want to pay because I was told that the items on the list was covered under the price that we agreed to. I told them to take my stuff off of the truck and Deena Chavis who works in billing got really nasty with me and said that she will tell the drivers to leave with my stuff unless I pay. I went back and forth with her and then the price went from $400 to $118 then when she talked to my husband she said it will just be $80 now at pickup and $80 upon delivery which that equals $160 which she said the total would be $190 so in the end they just want to get as much extra money out of you as they can. Don't give them a dime.

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.

GBGREAT EXPERIENCE GREAT EXPERIENCE - MADE MOVING EASY! These movers were on time, fast and accurate. Guys packed all my furniture very nice and professional - (this is was included in my estimate). 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!

GBDont be fooled by the good overall… Dont be fooled by the good overall review, READ before you book them My experience with purple heart have been really bad for the following reasons: - They are not actually a moving company as they advertise, they are brokers, I could have booked with the US movers "which is the company that moved my stuff" directly and saved money. - They will give you many false info before you book, once you book and pay, they know you cant cancel as you will lose money and it is too late to find a different company, they lied to me many times, and were rude about it - When I booked, I was promised that they will confirm the pick up date a week before, they confirmed 24 hours before. - they promised that my stuff will be delivered within 2-5 days window. my stuff were delivered 17 days late. I moved to a new city 6 hours driving from the original one not only they lied about it, they were very rude that it is in the contract that they can be up to 30 business day late. - they estimate your cost depending on what you provide them, they calculate higher space for the boxes, etc to be on the safe side and they tell you that when we put the boxes in the truck we recalculate, that was a lie, they did not. I would avoid them at all cost.
