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.

GBTerrible experience Terrible experience. Look elsewhere. Our shipment was held hostage and they could not give us a delivery date. We waited over 2 weeks after we were promised delivery. Daily phone calls still didn’t provide us with updates. Look for a local carrier that can promise specific dates. Price is not as good as promised. Buyer beware.

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".

GBI hired these guys to move my wife and… I hired these guys to move my wife and 2 kids recently and they did well, except for one of the movers who mistakenly broke our medium size dressing mirror. That's not too much problem though. Other than that, they were quick, reliable and respectful! The administrators accepted to recompense us, which they did. If we need to move again, we will still get in touch with this company.

GBUsed this team a month ago... Used this team a month ago while moving a 14-foot large WALL PAINTINGS from Maryland to Colorado. At the start the Customer Service manager seemed to be slower in responding my calls but yet when she answered she gave me the whole details about how they work and I followed up and my job was perfectly carried out. Everything was carefully handled and am very happy with them.
