Less 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.

Read 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.

Quoted 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.

Scammers, 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.

Disatisfied & 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.
