GBGateway Express is a scam brokerage… Gateway Express is a scam brokerage firm - with great salesmen and no quality. Jared and CJ are liars who will tell you anything to get you to sign - including sob stories about being Vets. They are a disgrace and not to be trusted. Gateway Express subcontracted our move out to two other companies - One Way Movers and Diamond Movers. We paid a lot of money and were told our furniture would arrive in 5 days. It took 3 weeks and several items were damaged and missing. They packed us in NJ and unloaded our stuff to a warehouse in Baltimore MD for two weeks. From there, they reloaded it to a truck that could barely run and indeed broke down on the way to FL causing more delays. When they finally arrived, the crew apologized but said 'this always happens with Gateway Express and we have to deal with irate customers!' They refused to take anything off the truck until final payment - in cash - was received. They knew from experience there was going to be an issue! Jared 'sold' me the insurance - guaranteeing me his company was so careful - I would never need to use it. I put in a claim for almost $2000 of damaged and missing items - they offered me $120! Several calls to Gateway Express, One Way Movers and the insurance company have all gone unanswered. I am currently working with an attorney to recoup some of my losses. Stay away from this company! i wish I would have done more research before I signed with them! Don't make the same mistake we did!

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.

GBDO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. NOT AS RELIABLE AS THEY CLAIM TO BE. Honestly I feel deceived through this whole process. When moving across the country you want to know that your possessions are in good hands and know that your stuff will arrive promptly when they say. Well, the person who booked me failed to tell me a couple of things, 1: that a third party company comes to move you with a shared truck with other people’s belongings (nowhere to be found in the contract) 2: who to make my payment available to, (also nowhere to be found in the contract.) so I was very confused when a company called MAP Moving & Storage came out to get my things and already had my cashiers check made out to Gateway. BUT what he did tell me is that my truck would arrive to the drop off location between 5 and 7 days, which I’m sure you’ve probably guessed by now is a bold faced lie!! Here I am in a new state almost THREE WEEKS after they picked up my stuff without a bed, my clothes or any of my personal items because my stuff sat in Colorado for TWO WEEKS before they even loaded it to a DIFFERENT truck to be driven out to me. SAVE YOUR MONEY.

GBI can't advise you strongly enough to avoid this company Worst experience with a supposed professional company I have ever had the misfortune to be involved in. This happened a year ago and I still shudder at the experience. Goods were damaged, at 5PM the truck was too full to complete the move. We had to rent a storage space for the left behind furnishings. We stored the goods in the moving truck at Gateway Express Moving facility, several months later when it was delivered to our new home we found broken, damaged goods, 4 missing gaming systems with many games completely gone, jewelry armoire drawers were EMPTY, as if they had been dumped out into a bag. When Gateway Express Moving was informed, he offered 500.00 in compensation, and said we should have watched the movers closer , or perhaps we were lying about the missing and damaged items. We are out thousands of dollars in damaged and missing goods. Gateway Express Moving accepts no responsibility for this.

GBScammers, cheats and liars!… If I could give then a negative review I would.Stay away from this company. They are cheats and scam artists. Everything Tom the owner says is a lie. They do not move anything but their mouths. They do not own trucks they are brokers. We hired them for an august 19 move and they finally showed up august 25. Here it is October 13 and we just got our stuff when it was supposed to be delivered September 9. Once they got our deposit that was it we could not get in touch with them without an act of Congress. No more answered emails either. They tried to extort more money from us. They dumped our stuff into storage and would not tell us where until we paid more money. We would not do that we had a contract. Finally we got to the storage unit and all the boxes were crushed and opened and gone thru. Every piece of furniture is broken. We have hired an attorney and are suing them because we know they will not honor their word and pay for damages, they lied about everything else. Do not use this company. They should be shut down and thrown in jail.
