GBDisatisfied & Unresolved I agree with a previous review that any positive reviews have to be fake. The positive reviews here and on their site have been anything BUT what ours is based on the complete silence and ignoring from Tom and his company. In addition, is it any coincidence their Facebook page is broken? I will say, leading up to the collection of our money, we had ZERO issues getting ahold of Gateway. Literally on the first ring, within 2 min via email, etc. They were on point! They made a ton of promises on the phone, had in writing that things would be double wrapped and protected, the whole works! Flash forward a little bit and after we had already paid them the deposit. Found out the rates they gave us weren't valid and misled what they meant at the time the moving company showed up. These guys are a broker advertising as a moving company!!! This means they offload EVERYTHING off their plates when issues arrive and go completely silent...nothing, nada, no way to reach them (they become ghosts)! Since we needed our stuff and moved, we ended up having to pay almost double the original quote. Then we FINALLY get our stuff 30 -45 days later and there's over $6000 in damage because they didn't wrap or protect the things they said they would. Keep in mind, that was almost as much as the move. On the phone, the rep boasted "FULL INSURANCE!" "YOU'RE COVERED!!"...it was a blatant lie! We were offered a measly $45.00. Do NOT use this company...they are a broker, tell you what you want to hear, mislead you, and the disappear! @Tom, if you see this, please reach out! We are willing to reform our review based on getting the help your company promised and we deserve.

GBPlease DO NOT use this moving company Please DO NOT use this moving company. They contract with R&M Transportation for dispatching services. I moved from Maryland to Miami July 31st. First, two movers showed up and two additional contractors came, which could not put tape on a box. They just stood around and talked, so the team lead sent the two contractors home after 30 minutes. That left 2 guys moving a three level, 4 bedroom house...they started at 9:30am and did not leave my house until 10:00pm. At that point, they told me everything could not fit on the truck. and told me another truck would be there at 7:30 the next morning. The truck did not get there until 9:30. My 2018 Honda Goldwing motorcycle was on that truck. I specifically provided instructions for no one to touch the bike and I needed to drive it off the truck when the truck arrived in Miami. When I arrived to the storage place, the bike was off of the truck, and the steering wheel would not lock, the bike would not start and it had deep scratches on the rear saddle bag. Both of these companies (Gateway Express and R&M Transportation) needs to be put on every website for poor service. They do not care about customers. I tried contacting the CEO's of both companies and was told by dispatching that they do not talk to customers because they are in the field work. I will be filing a lawsuit against both companies. PLEASE DO NOT USE EITHER ONE OF THESE COMPANIES. THE SERVICE IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!

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.

GBNegative stars!! Seriously the worst experience ever. I mean EVER. First, the movers arrived over an hour late and had to move another customer’s items off their truck before loading mine. I was not informed that my items would be moved along with someone else’s. Also, I was told that they would be able to move me in the same day (5 hr move), but due to the other drop off it didn’t arrive until midday the next day. There was no communication along the process, I had to call three people just to find out where the truck was and when to expect my items. The movers were very disorganized and slow. So slow that I had to help them move some of my stuff to speed up the process. I’ve moved several times before with other services and experienced much better service and speed. I would never use this moving service again!!

GBLess than one star service Your company “Guarantees a Five Star Experience”. What exactly does that mean? I agreed to make my move with Gateway because of the promises that I was given. You would be there through the entire process, my items would be double wrapped so no need for additional insurance costs, it would be a smooth experience, and those are just a few. As soon as the actual moving company came, since your company is actually just a broker, Gateway stopped doing anything for me. I needed help with some issues from the start and they made me contact the actual moving company and did not help at all. Then, my furniture arrived, completely unwrapped and with $6000 worth of damage. I played by the rules and paid everything I needed to. I filed a claim, and guess what? Since I took Gateway’s word for it, more specifically, Daniel at Gateway, I didn’t pay the extra to get my stuff insured more, so I was out of luck. The claim company offered me a whopping $45...for $6000 worth of damage and one item was something that was going to be handed down to my grandchildren. Now I can’t reach anyone at Gateway. I have been calling and emailing and no one wants to speak to me. I know there is a way they can make this right if they really want to and if you really “Guarantee and Five Star Move”. They clearly are just in this for the quick buck and make promises they don’t intend to keep.
