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.

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!

GBSo bad services!!!!! COMPLETE SCAM. Worst experience I've ever had with any business. We were told by Ken Jackson we were getting a great rate with this company because they didn't act as brokers in hiring physical movers and that their guys were in-house. Despite showing up a day later than the date scheduled on the contract, the movers shared with us that they couldn't honor the contract because we had more cubic feet than expected.

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.
