GBQuoted for $3500 and charged $6300 Under no circumstances should you use this company, it's a complete scam. Their sales people are slick and promise you the world, but never mention they won't actually be moving you themselves, they just broker the move. Once an issue arises, they take no responsibility and pass it off. Apparently I was severely under quoted on our moving bid. My original quote was for $3800. I was repeatedly told this was an overestimate and that I would be paying more likely around $3500. I was told the movers would pack up furniture for me, all I had to do was have everything else in boxes. That's a lie and I was charged for packing. After my original quote, I sold an entire bedroom set (mattress, box spring, frame, dresser and nightstand) a tv, and a weight bench. Surely I thought I would be paying under $3500 now. WRONG! These guys showed up, packed the truck and then told me it would be $6300. What was I supposed to do at that point, tell them to unpack the truck?!? I can not stress to you enough, you need to go with a different company. Pick a company that will actually come out to your house before the move, take a visual assessment and give you a realistic quote.

GBIf you get a call from this company RUN… If you get a call from this company RUN THE OTHER WAY AND NEVER LOOK BACK! This company is nothing but a bunch of con-artist scammers who will will make you think they are the best thing around. They are a moving broker and will not do the work themselves then send it out to another con-artist scammer who will continue to fleece you and never deliver your belongings at all or deliver them with considerable damage well after they were supposed to arrive. They will then promise to help you with your issues nver to be heard from again. For the love of God never ever ever do business with this company.

GBRead the fine print...ridiculous I considered using these movers, emailed back and forth, got a quote. The deal breaker was the hidden clause in the fine print that says they can charge you any extra amount they see fit for items over 200 lbs. Well, 200 lbs is not much for a piece of furniture; the average 3 seat sofa is around 200 lbs. So now I have to haggle with them over every piece of furniture they claim to be over 200# when I don't have a scale I can weigh it with? That sound like fun, as they are holding my furniture hostage waiting for me to pay cash to unload it. The girl in the office said "just send me a picture." That is so asinine. How can she tell from a picture whether it is solid wood or pressed wood (you can't); sling frame or high quality wood frame, 190lbs. or 210 lbs? You can't. I could see if they had an upcharge for a piano, or a huge china cabinet that won't come apart, but that's not what the contract says. Over 10 companies responded to my request for a quote, and these are the ONLY guys that have this fine print. So glad I spotted this red flag and then read these horrible reviews. Not worth getting a quote a few bucks less, and then dealing with people like this.

GBdishonest This is a brokers company. I initially chose this company because of the decent reviews and reasonable price. I moved from RI to California. Its been a month and I haven't received my stuff. Gateway told me around 2 weeks but likely 10 days. After the truck was loaded, it was impossible to get in touch with anyone from the office ( I tried many times, voicemails, emails, multiple numbers). This seems to be the theme from another review that I came across. I was able to get in touch with the company they are contracted with who told me their policy is 21 business days. Its been 20 business days and I havent not received my stuff. The company has not been able to give me an ETA. We asked multiple times to speak with someone from gateway but this has not happened. In addition, the contract that is online disappears after the truck is loaded. I am now questioning the authenticity of some of these reviews. Its unfortunate that they choose to act very unprofessionally and are dishonest about the time. All they had to do was be upfront from the start and respond to phone calls.

GBKindly stay away! Used them for a move from Austin, TX to Atlanta, GA. Totally disappointed, did not stick on the schedule for pick up, over priced than initial quote, they wouldn't understand basic mathematic mis-calculations for over charging, they promised to take good care of everything but did nothing but just charge me high. They communicated well until they received the initial deposit. & they are just a middleman - they dont have their own truck. They handed the order to Condor moving system & did not bother there after.
