UMEX Moving & Storage, Inc.

After stealing three boxes of our things, a box of speakers and some DVD“s/Blu Ray discs during our move (and over charging us for the move), they make an offer to settle for $ 100!!! What a joke. What a disgusting excuse for a company. Stay away!!! Stay far away!!! I am so angry. First time I ever used a moving company and now I don’t think I ever will again.

Good, solid guys. Uri and Mari were both very much available whenever I called with questions, etc. Uri has a faulty internet connection, though. He never sent me confirmation emails ;)
Anyway, on moving day, the biggest problem was the weather (it was raining all day) and the traffic which slowed them down. They were supposed to show up at 12noon, and finally arrived around 7pm. My dad is almost 90 years old and was waiting with me, and I was a little concerned about his health at the length of time it took for them to show up. But once they did, they took right over, had very good manners and attitude, were extremely professional, and sat my dad down and said «no worries, we will take care of it all». He and I were very pleased at the speed and professionality with which they handled the removal of the furniture and the fragile items, and all in all, were pleased with the move. I did pay top dollar, and paid $ 150 more than I was quoted. Not sure why I had to pay the $ 100 extra but I did give them a $ 50 tip. I paid the $ 100 as there was no point arguing and the rain had made things difficult for all of us. Plus, I was their last customer and the guys were tired. I paid the extra $ 50 because it was already 10pm by the time we got done, and I wanted them to be able to get something to eat before going home (and I hope they did) and hitting the sack. They worked hard and deserved something extra. All in all, I would request and recommend them again.
Thanks.

I’m very happy with my experience with Umex movers through out the whole process.
Working with Uri was easy and he worked with me to get the proper items listed for a quote. When I decided to reduce the amount of items (removing items I wanted to move on my own) he adjusted the quote accordingly with no issues.
One of the most important things I feel when dealing with a moving company is that you aren’t hit with fees after the move has been completed.
I was assured that the price quoted would be all inclusive and no additional fees would be incurred. This held true and after the job was complete I paid the amount quoted.
The moving crew (4 men) was friendly and professional. They arrived on time and worked effectively and efficiently.
They didn’t damage any of my belongings and were careful to add extra protection on our most fragile items.
Overall I’d recommend Umex and would use them again.

Excellent moving company! All the guys were speedy but careful. They worked together as a team and did an exceptional job. No one stopped working until the job was complete.
The office manager came out and did inventory so there were not any surprises with the pricing. Best price based on other companies I called. Will use them again for my next move.

Excellent team of movers, great to work with Uri and his guys. Would definitely use them again, they were very accommodating, professional and I’m a happy customer!

Had a great experience with UMEX. Everyone was very nice and professional. No hidden fees, the price was as quoted. The guys were great and took care of our furniture. Overall great company. Would recommend to anyone!

I am not really one to write a review but I feel that I must for the tremendous job that UMEX moving did for us! Uri is an honest guy, no hidden agenda, no hidden costs. Came out to the house and gave us a price and that was it. Extremely reasonable and honest pricing. The foreman Ortley, Shakur and 2 other guys worked tirelessly in the pouring rain (all day soaking rain) and made the miserable circumstances work. They carefully wrapped all the furniture and items and made sure that our boxes, furniture, and household items braved the elements of the weather. It took a really long time but all weather related of course. These guys got some additional guys to come and help unload later thank goodness but they were all so polite and professional and really went above and beyond the call of duty. Great guys and great company that I recommend highly.

UMEX is an excellent moving company, hands down 5 stars, that I highly recommend. UMEX took care of me quickly, professionally, and with a whole lot of customer satisfaction. I quickly noticed they knew how to take care of their customer and their belongings, and that mentality trickled down to all the details of the process. UMEX was an easy choice, and I didn’t waste time shopping around. This is difficult to find in other companies from people I’ve heard from.
Getting started with Uri and Mari was great, and they worked hard to fit my hectic and tight schedule. Knowing I needed the help, they spent extra time recommending ways to pack efficiently and how to prepare for the move — super helpful, making things easier for both parties.
The moving team was prompt, friendly and courteous, and efficient!!! — props to them even though it was scorching hot that day. Bottom line was they were quick, careful, and clear communicators — types of people we wish we’d work with everyday! I didn’t worry about my belongings, or the floors and walls of the new apartment. Payment was simple and clear, no upsetting surprise charges, just the agreed hassle-​free quote from the beginning. I had a great experience from start to finish… I’m glad they were referred to me, and I would definitely chose them for next time!

Umex Moving & Storage is truly a five-​star moving company! After hours on the Internet searching for reliable movers, we were frustrated again and again by negative customer reviews and by exorbitant estimates we got from a few companies for our recent move. By chance, we came across a very positive customer mention of Umex. After visting the Umex Website and speaking with Mari, we knew we had our mover. Mari and her staff are the ultimate professionals. Every phase of our move was expertly handled, every email and phone call was promptly answered, and we were updated and reassured by the Umex drivers at every stop along the way between New Jersey and Arizona. We wholeheartedly recommend Umex!

I am recently divorced and I had to move furniture and other items from my old house to a townhouse that I’m renting. I used Unilocal for the first time to locate a mover in central NJ. I saw that Umex had several stellar reviews so I contacted them.
Mari came to my old house to inspect the furniture to be moved and emailed me a firm amount and contact later that day. I was already impressed by her pleasant nature and promptness. It gets much better.
The next week was the big move. The head of the 3 man crew was named Uri. They showed up with a large moving truck on time, and proceeded to inspect the various pieces of furniture and boxed items to be moved. I was concerned about a large China cabinet with 4 glass doors. Uri and his crew disassembled it, removed all the glass and wood shelves and wrapped it in moving blankets secured with strapping tape. This process was repeated for every item including a 3 piece L shaped desk that was a bear to take apart.
The unloading and reassembly went smoothly. The desk and bookcases had to go in the basement down a narrow staircase. Uri put up sheets of cardboard on the walls to protect the sheet rock from dings. There was no damage whatsoever to any of my furniture or the house/​townhouse that I moved out of and into. Uri inspected everything before and after the move to make sure no damage occurred.
The Umex crew were true pprofessionals in every respect. They are careful, courteous, prompt, and provided a stress free moving experience. I give them my highest recommendation and would absolutely use them for my next move.

Very Professional, Thorough & Prompt company representative (Mari). The Moving Crew were Outstanding! They were very careful and wrapped/​protected everything while moving at a good pace. Their demeanor was professional and courteous. Would HIGHLY recommend this company for any move.

UMEX is amazing. I’ve never written a Unilocal review before, but I had to share such a great experience. I only regret that its taken me so long since my move to write this one. From my initial calls with Mari and Uri, to the last box unloaded at my new place it was the best moving and customer service experience I have ever had. I have a 2-​part move and they worked with me to determine the best scenario for my move, and gave me a fair price as well. As everyone else has stated, they arrived early. Uri and his team were extremely professional and polite. They would not let me lift a finger. They took care with my belongings and were efficient as well.
I’ve since recommended UMEX to a few friends who have upcoming moves. One has already used them and was more than impressed. Another will be using them this week, and another a bit later on, however both have expressed how great their initial experiences have been.
I am looking forward to the 2^nd part of my move, which I expect to be equally as well done. I’ll continue to recommend them to anyone I know is moving.

I do not ever write reviews however I had to post a glowing review of UMEX moving and storage! They were AMAZING! They arrived early and helped me pack the last minute items I was too exhausted to finish the night before. Uri was perfect! When it came to efficiency and customer service everything was top notch! All three of my movers were so pleasant and quick without being sloppy. I honestly enjoyed my move! I mostly enjoyed that it was all done in two hours! I would highly recommend UMEX moving company if you are looking for a great experience!

This has been the best moving experience I’ve had. A great team of movers… that’s what they were — a team!
From the start, the experience was excellent. Someone visited my home to give me a free quote. They followed up with me. I was moving into a new home, and I wanted to make sure the new floors didn’t get scratched and there were no damages. Uri, the team leader, called me to assure that they will be very careful, and that they’ll lay runners wherever the movers were going to step. On the day of the move, they arrived on time. Uri gave his team instructions before the move and during the move to ensure there were no damages and to move everything efficiently. His team was such a pleasant group of people. We had some 50 boxes of books to carry to the basement. And they did it with a smile and such great attitude. They were all really professional too.
And the topping on the cake — they offer very competitive prices! We had many many more boxes than we originally estimated, and we were expecting a much higher bill. But it didn’t cost substantially more because they offer better rates with more boxes.
Kudos to the company and all their employees for running such a great show! I’ve been telling everybody I know to hire them if they need a mover!

What a great company! I had less than a week to move, and I was not even done packing when they came, but the guys were extremely helpful, took charge, and were pleasant all through the move. It was difficult, to say the least. It was cold, dark, and icy.
Uri was incredibly friendly and positive. He really made me feel more confident that I would get it all done. His happy attitude and considerate manner were unexpected, and welcome, in such an overwhelming task.
I had so many boxes of art supplies, and the guys had to move them up a big staircase, into a new studio room for me.
I was very stressed out to the max, but they all made our move so much less crazy for us. I would definitely use them again, and recommend them highly.

My first ever review is reserved for this wonderfully awesome moving company! They are so good, we used their services TWICE! My husband and I moved to Denmark temporarily and we used Umex to move our belongings to a nearby storage unit. Mari, who is prompt with emails and phone calls, visited our apartment to give us an estimate. When we returned 7 months later, Umex moved our belongings from the storage unit and into a new apartment on Dec. 24, 2014, which happened to be a very, very rainy day. Uri and his team laid down some carpet and removed their shoes to preserve our flooring. Our belongings were clean and dry. They made our home feel like home, just in time for the holidays! Thank you Mari and Uri for making our move a pleasant experience.

I had an excellent experience with UMEX. I called for a quote the week before I needed to move and talked with a gentleman (can’t remember his name :() and then called back the next day when I realized there was a bunch of stuff I forgot to tell them about. They gave me a flat rate quote which included tolls and didn’t have a minimum amount of hours associated with it, which ended up being perfect. Other places wanted me to commit to a six hour minimum, and since the job was done in under four I was very pleased.
Uri showed up with his crew about ten minutes before the time I was expecting them, which was a nice surprise. We had the contents of our one bedroom apartment stored in my boyfriend’s parent’s garage in Edison, New Jersey, and they had it all loaded in under half an hour. I met them at our new building in Astoria and they even got there a few minutes before me! I was so surprised! They had everything up to my fifth floor apartment in two hours and even put my furniture and bed back together. Uri had a great eye for where things should go.
I would recommend them for any future move. They’re worth every penny!

First, a brief summary of our move:
UMEX picked up the contents of our 4BR home that was split between a temporary rental and a storage unit close by in Allentown, NJ. They then stored it for us until we closed on our home in Cypress, TX a few months later.
Now, here’s why they get 5 stars:
— Communication, communication, communication! Every time I called (and it tended to be almost every days as the delivery date to TX approached) someone would answer and attempt to get me the information I needed.
— Our stuff was well taken care of. The movers brought a ton of blankets when our stuff was packed away and used every last one of them.
— The delivery was on time. We gave a delivery target of August 20^th — 21^st and they arrived on the 21^st. I must note that the driver was awesome. I have a 4 year old who us fascinated with trucks and he let him sit in the truck and take a picture.
I would recommend UMEX to anyone doing a long distance move like we did. We waffled with going with one of the huge van lines out there, honestly, because there is a huge amount of trust involved with giving someone your entire life. After meeting with UMEX I felt at ease and we decided to move forward. It was the best decision we could have made. We saved a huge amount on the cost and the moving experience itself couldn’t have been better.

Simply masters of the move, highly recommended.
–I got a few of quotes for a move from Iselin to Hazlet and UMEX came in the lowest.
–They came 10 min early with a three man crew
–All furniture was wrapped and packed.
–They skillfully extracted my 8 ft couch from a narrow stairwell.
–They were polite and curious.
–The whole move took 3 hours.
–There was no damage to the walls or the furniture.

Hired Umex for a move on the recommendation of social acquaintances who told me they offered high quality service for a reasonable price, and that they would be VERY careful with my stuff — no damage.
When I called Umex to schedule the move, they were able to send a truck out the very next day. *STAR*
I was told the truck should arrive between 9am and 10am and the truck arrived 10 minutes early. *STAR*
The movers carefully wrapped and padded all of the furniture. *STAR*
The movers were careful not to mark or damage any of the walls, floors, rugs, etc in both the home I was moving out of and the home I was moving into. *STAR*
In less than 2 hours, the movers quickly and efficiently had everything moved and placed exactly where I wanted it. *STAR*
Would I hire Umex again if I needed to move? YES
Would I recommend them to you if you need to move? YES.
