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.

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.

GBMy move was a nightmare My move was a nightmare. I gave an exact number of large items and an estimate of boxes. I said I had ordered 50 medium and 50 large boxes and probably will fill them all. When the movers came, the price doubled. They loaded the truck on 8/25/20 and they finally delivered my items on 10/12/20. At least a dozen items were missing, at least 10 items were broken, and all of the furniture except the 2 recliners had some damage. They had taken the contents from a number of small boxes and threw them into a large box. I had jewelry mixed with tools and batteries and other items that were packed in individual boxes. The people we called were rude and the driver of the delivery truck was also rude. My advice, don't hire this company.

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!
