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.

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.

GBBanged up my walls Banged up my walls. Never came out to access the damages. They have ignored all my calls and emails. They responded to my yelp review with excuses but yet have not taken responsibility for their actions. Leaves me no choice but to hire a lawyer.

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!

GBDo NOT use this company Do NOT use this company. - On the day of our scheduled move they did not show up, nor did they even call. When I finally reached them that evening they said there had been a problem, and they would pick us up the next day. They did not show up the next day either. On the 3rd day we told them to forget it ! (At great inconvenience and expense we found another mover). They have never given us a refund for our deposit, which was over $1,000. They are dishonest conmen. I have never had such a bad experience with any mover..
