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!

GBDO NOT USE THIS MOVER OR LET YOUR MOVE BE SUBCONTRACTED TO ONE WAY> I contracted my move with Gateway Movers out of Florida. THEY sub-contracted without telling me, to One Way Van Lines. The movers arrived 3 hours late, but the truck was packed properly,(by midnight), or so I thought. The movers told me AFTER the truck was full that they needed to get to Maryland to OFFLOAD my things in their warehouse. When my things finally arrived at my destination, (10 days after my move), boxes were torn, 3 tables were broken, my clothing wardrobes were delivered UPSIDE DOWN and then heavy boxes were placed INSIDE and on top of my clothing. Hangers were broken, clothing arrived so wrinkled I had to have EVERYTHING rewashed and ironed. Boxes were missing, my hand truck was missing, most of my Waterford was broken, boxes were wet and falling apart and to top it all off, they broke my TV, (which was properly packed in a TV Flat screen box with extra bubble wrap and pillows).....the delivery movers went into my kitchen cabinets and STOLE a jar full of quarters, (for use at the Laundromat), and the jar had approximately $125.00 in it. When I called them up about the grievance, they told me to call the police. QUESTION: What are the police in South Carolina going to do about money stolen from me....by people who work for a company in Maryland? I was even handed things by the movers that had fallen out of the boxes during the offload! How do my things just fall out of a securely taped box? With boxes being ripped open, there is no doubt how this happened! Presently, I have called GATEWAY to see if they can offer any help with this situation, and they're not even answering the phone!!! I have called 3 days in a row and over 4 times!!! My husband and I are senior citizens! We put our trust in a company to move us. Gateway, who is the company that I hired, handed it off to One Way Van Lines. As I opened boxes and found irreplaceable things completely destroyed, I was devastated. How does one begin to replace antique ceramic and glassware once owned by my grandparents, and brought over SAFELY from Europe? They even managed to destroy a PAINTING! They broke the frame and tore it away from the frame. How does something like that happen??? Wish I could have included photos! DO NOT EVER....I repeat DO NOT EVER use this company. They handed off the job to someone else, which I did not expect or know about, and now they won't due me the courtesy of even just answering the phone! Being forewarned is being forearmed! Lynne and CJ...thanks a lot for nothing! GATEWAY...you are running a scam that will catch up to you someday. You acted as if you cared about this move. You only cared about that ALMIGHTY DOLLAR! UPDATE: As I had COVID, I was unable to unpack my Christmas decorations. When I DID unpack this year, all my Waterford and Lenox ornaments were GONE! I had over 40 expensive ornaments and when I opened that box of ornaments this year....only 4 were left. Now I know why it took 10 days to get from NY to SC. You were rifling through my belongings and taking what you wanted.

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.

GBOne way van lines One way van lines I would give it zero if i could. DO NOT USE A BROKER! I am telling you, the fees start to pile on, they use that 21 day delivery clause to hold your stuff, move it from one truck to another truck then take it to Maryland then do another transload and MAYBE you get your stuff when you want it. the ESTIMATE was $2400....to date and i still do not have my stuff, they have charged be almost $4000 and expect another $1400 in cash upon delivery. SAVE YOURSELF from this place. rent a u-haul, hire a helper to load it and unload and drive yourself if you are moving out of state. this BROKER nonsense, especially ONE WAY VAN LINES, is AWFUL. ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. They will HOLD YOUR STUFF the full 21 days and charge they will definitely over charge you. DO NOT USE A BROKER WHEN YOU MOVE!!! ESPECIALLY THIS ONE

GBOne way or no way! My husband and I had worked with two other moving companies prior to One way and One way seriously blew us away with their customer service, professionalism, flexibility, and timeliness. One way was super responsive via email and over the phone. They let us change our moving date with only a few days notice and worked with our schedule on a start time, considering it wasn't a normal "8am move." The team that helped us move was great - they were on time, moved quickly, and were careful with all our items. Everything was relocated to our new location in one piece - the team even reassembled all of the items with high craftsmanship. Without a doubt, I would use One way again for any future moves!
