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.

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 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.

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.
