GBWorst move in my life full of moves This company provided my wife and I with the worst move in my life. We travel a lot, so we are not new at this (with experience, besides the US, in Spain, France, Brazil, Italy...). I would recommend to avoid this company, or at least not trust in anything they say and double check everything, little of what they say is true. They started by promising a move on Saturday, but movers never showed up. When I called they said it was a mistake, so I rescheduled for Tuesday. I canceled my work appointments to be available at 1pm (in our building you needed to be out by 5pm). They arrived at 4.30pm. Throughout the long wait, I of course contacted them and they kept saying "they will be there in 20 min". Of course, that was a lie. The drivers were very nice (they had little information from the "management" of what was going on), we managed to do everything before 9pm. To my surprise, we received a text the next day "we forgot to charge 100 dollars for boxes", boxes that of course we never received. When I called to clarify that, they said to me "you need to prove that you did not receive the boxes, so I think this conversation is going nowhere". So the burden of proof is on you after you contract, we were fortunate they did not decide to charge 500 dollar. I was not very confident from the beginning because any other company I called to was not available for short notice and they were. Now I know there was a reason for that. I recommend you plan your move with some time to avoid this company.

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.

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.

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

GBI recently used One Way Van Lines for … I recently used One Way Van Lines for my local move from Baltimore to Philly and was very happy with the way they handled my furniture. From the time of scheduling until everything was unloaded into my new apartment, they were professional, quick and had all necessary tools needed to take apart the beds and stuff. They were also very affordable comparing to other professional movers! They showed up within scheduled time window and the driver was in contact with me throughout the move! Everything was professionally wrapped and nothing was broken, scratched, or damaged. Thank you One Way Van Lines for help me me move. I will definitely recommend and use you guys again!
