    Beware! thieves and klutzes run this place

    Horrible experience.   Matters seemed ok — before delivery.   1. Minors were also hired to float.   Among them dropped a $2,000 curio cabinet (classic ) and that the glass has become broken and can not be mended.   2. Many things lost, such as 200 ounce. Of silver, solid silver bowls, and estimated price about $12,000.   3. Granite shirt to my dresser smashed into bits, even after educating them how it needed to be managed.   4. Many miscellaneous things missing too. 5. We had been under-quoted.   6.   The manager in site of origination was pushing us to some 10 percent trick — which could have been $1,200.   We’re generous individuals, but their needs were so absurd.

    Do not EVER apply these folks!

    Dishonest company

    Got an Typical quote for transfer to Florida in NY. Taxes came on time and were specialist. Regrettably they then shot over a month to send my house. When it came numerious things were broken… what they packaged in addition to things I packaged. Three boxes and a bag with clothes were likewise missing. They provide you with a totally free insurance but it insures nothing which you package and a small percent of the price of your house I had a few tens of thousands of dollars in damages and lost things and they needed to offer me $95.00 bucks to repay. Yes maybe not a typo ninty five bucks!!!! Well I will be visiting them in smallish claims court.

    THIEVES BEWARE

    People Today BEWARE!!!! This isn’t a moving company, this can be a expert scamming ring handled by a few [EDIT] as well as burglars. I discovered this business on the last year to transfer some gear I had out of my storage in Pa for my brand new company in Syracuse, NY. I had not had a good deal of experience with moving companies for I seldom used them. I phoned and one of the two or so representatives called James replied me. He asked me what size truck I was seeking and I told him that I do not understand a dimension, but I will provide him a listing of the gear that I’m moving and their dimensions, and based on what he could tell me what size truck I would like. After giving him a thorough list, he said that I want a 54 foot truck along with 4 men to lift the gear. And explained that it’ll cost me 1600 to perform the job. BASED ON THOSE TERMS, I consented and also the moving date was to be two days afterwards. I paid 600 while on the telephone with the broker and that I had been to pay the remainder once they move the gear. On the scheduled day, I received a call from them stating that the truck is coming TWO HOURS LATE, ” They explained that during the time that they were assumed to be here and after I obtained to the storage that’s about 2 hours away from where I arrived. Having no other alternative I waited. 3 hours after a 26 foot truck came in with 3 employees. [EDIT], I was startled, the very first thing the motorists did was attempt to get me to sign a receipt that of course I did not, I called the company to determine what’s happening and why are they not meeting with the arrangement. When I talked with James, he appeared to be quite nervous and didn’t know what to say, so that he switched the lineup over to his supervisor, the head of the entire scam. When I asked him what is happening, he rudely said that, this is the sole size truck that they have. If that is the only size that why did you make up the dimension which you informed me about? . Anyways, he asked him, how will he match all of the EQUIPMENT THT ARE ON THE LIST, he stated, that is not his problem, and that If the gear does not match, he will send a second 26ft truck, so, I understand where he got the exact number 54, so I’ll pay yet another 1600 to find the task finished. Hence that the project moved from 1600 to 3200. Obviously at the time I understood it was a scam and SO DID HIS DRIVERS WHO SAID He HAD DONE THIS TO MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS. I denied this and requested him to repay my 600 bucks if he doesn’t wish to abide by the first arrangement, He did not reimbursed it, wasted my whole afternoon and dropped me a great deal of cash like auto gas. It’s been a year today because this issue and I am still hoping to receive my money back through American state, and he isn’t just refusing to repay, HE EVEN FORGED MY SIGNATURE, WHICH LOOKS NOTHING LIKE MY REAL SIGNATURE. THIS SITUATION IS SO BAD THAT I Might Need to SPEND MORE TIME AND MONEY TO HIRE A LAWYER AND TAKE THIS S*O*B THIEF TO COURT. STAY AWAY AND SPARE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE AND DRAMA.

    Ruined a meaningful moment

    My experience with this firm was so agony that it is even difficult for me to write an overview describing how they destroyed a second that was likely to become one in a life. Let us just say that this adventure was my very first. I had been called to begin a company in a different country and I happily took the deal. The only significant object that somebody that meant a great deal to me personally was that the 1 thing which led me to get that provide.
    I chose to somebody who passed out and whenever I looked at the thing I recall the assured and constantly became really inspired then deadline. I received the thing sent because I did not need any harms done on it. I wrapped it up and shut it tight. The moving business dropped. It had been later, that I repeatedly called; they never called me. Back in September I had been told it had been discovered. I am still awaiting my package! The operator informed me that the driver was at Texas. She had been unaware that I’d just gotten off the telephone with him and that he said that he had been situated at Florida

    Where’s my package???
    PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS MOVING COMPANY! THEY ARE UNDEPENADBLE AND UNRELIABLE!

    The move proved to be a fantastic experience, quite smooth, professional and fast.  The mover team came punctually, walked me through the procedure after seeing the total amount of furnuture to be transferred,  and packaged, wrapped ready everything in a really professional and amazing speedy method.  I had the exact same great experience in the point of shipping, again quickly, professional and with fantastic care. Nothing was broken or damaged. All furnitures were put up and built to my entire satisfaction. The shipping destination has been left clean. Again, a fantastic experience. To not forget to mention that the fantastic experience with all the sales man of Universe Express. Clear and clear communication, fast reply and provide based on my advice about type and volume of furniture, good follow up and clarification of available subjects. I’d employ Universe Express again when I needed to move back again.

    Shady Company lies about cost

    I registered a complaint with BBB and they never responded to some closing communication they decided to only take the hit in their album.  Below is your last communication I received from them through BBB and my reply that did include all documentation (mails, photographs, paperwork) Maintaining my claims.  It pretty much explains the entire experience of handling them and their jagged practices of over charging and changing conditions of support. Thursday, October 17, 2013 In reaction to the case variety Ms. D hired Universe Express to relocate her items in Rochester, NY  to  Littleton, CO using a movement date of June 25, 2013. First Estimate:On June 16, 2013 when Ms. D and our sales representative Mr.James Ricci talked via phone, Ms. D had been granted a quote based on aninventory record she provided. Ms. D  was advised that http://admin.moving.com/thisinitial record is under the minimal cubic foot bill. Ms. D  talked with Mr.James Ricci on many events and proceeded to make modifications to this estimate.Ms. D  was informed in the very start that she’d be billed forthe total amount of cubic feet the movement occupied.The images Ms. D  delivered in were just utilized to ascertain thepacking substances necessary for the transfer. We’re not able to use images todetermine how big any items as images can be deceiving or faulty. Packing Services & Materials:The materials contained in our quotes are the transferring blanketsand the tape unless otherwise specified. The sales representative comprised boxpacking of this china such as the boxes themselves, no matter how the additionalmaterials required are billed at a per use speed. Any extra packingmaterials like Bubble-wrap, White or Tissue newspaper, Boxes, Kraft-bubble,Shrink-wrap, Paper-blankets etc. aren’t contained in the moving solutions. Afull pack transfer would have contained all materials and labour with an additionalcharge. Nonetheless, this isn’t the support Ms. D  ordered. All things werepacked accordingly into the specification(s) provided by the agent duringthe pick-up. The packaging materials were billed at the per use speed asexplained from the moving quote. Unpacking support is an optional ceremony thatdoes demand another cost, this support also wasn’t ordered. It isclearly mentioned in the moving quote that reassembly of furniture is includedat that the period of delivery. All clients are held accountable to unpack theirboxes.Cubic Feet/ Size of this Transfer:The quote reveals 125 cubic feet depending on  the inventory list given by Ms. D  Onthe day of this transfer the things totaled 225 cubic feet. Ms. D  attempted tomeasure each product separately, which isn’t an accurate means to quantify theitems which are being loaded into a truck. The things don’t match as a puzzlepieces when loaded on the truck. The things will need to be loaded and stackedaccordingly. The right dimension for the whole cubic feet is 225 cubic feetas said on the contract. Inventory List:Ahead of the transfer date Ms. D  provided a list list withour sales agent Mr. James Ricci, nevertheless on the day of this transfer ourForemans must do a physical record depending upon the DOT (Department ofTransportation) Regulations.  Our Client Service Manager, NicolePatrick, talked with Ms. D  and verified that a physical record has to be writtenon the afternoon of the transfer. Ms. D  was likewise advised that some people today refer to particularitems by distinct titles ( ex. Dresser, chest, bureau, highboy, and apparel )the listing might have other accompanying names for her specific products. According to Ms.D  ask a copy of the stock was delivered through email to her accountingfor every piece relocated. Delivery Services:The transferring services dictate by Ms. D  obviously say that onlyreassembly of this furniture is included in the moving quote.  If Ms.D  desired full unpacking services she had to purchase the support from us atan extra charge and she’d have been had to be arranged in the timeof the transfer booking. All clients are held accountable to unpack theirboxes.   Wednesday, October 30, 2013 Complaint: I am rejecting this answer since:First Estimate:Within my original contact with James Ricci concerning the things I want moved I wasn’t at anytime told that my dispatch was under any minimal cubit foot charge along with Mr. Ricci never suggested anything relating to it.  When it had been under a minute. Charge than I’d anticipate that that would be said on the first quotation and within the price. The modifications which were made into the quote were actually things that Mr. Ricci never included on the inventory listing from our initial discussion in addition to address information that he left off (email is connected and I’ve emphasized in bold crimson so it’s simple to discover.   Packing Services & Materials:From the email dialog with James Ricci you may see noted in bold / blue at which I questioned about how the things would be guarded from the transfer (especially the 100 year-old glass jar that came shattered).  My reply back from him signaled that it could be completely protected but at no time did he ever mention that I’d be billed for any necessary stuff.  Actually he specifically states that they’d be guarded and that the service comprises all wrapping, tape and padding for every single thing for many of our motions.   Whenever someone informs me that all”wrap” is comprised I surely do not expect to then have a $200 charge tacked on at the time of pickup.   Again no where or at anytime did he ever note that they charge for these substances. Cubic Feet/ Size of this Move:I had been told I’d be billed for the entire cubic feet of my movement and I had been at the time conscious that there isn’t any way for anybody to understand the specific dimension of each thing without performing a physical stock.   In addition, I understand that things won’t fit perfectly onto a truck but at no time was I ever told I would likewise be responsible for paying to the”emptiness” area on the truck since they weren’t able to match it just like a perfect mystery.   I find it very telling of the unethical practices that their particular good faith estimate demonstrates that the 100 year-old glass jar they sent and packaged in an oversized china box that they provided that steps 9cu feet nevertheless they just sized it as 3 CFT in their own settlement.  In a lot of conversations I requested them to supply a breakdown of their cubic feet fees so that I could determine where the leap in cost occurred but they never supplied me with such.  In total I’d 18 items sent, 6 of these are recorded in their good faith estimate and just total 23 cubic feet complete.  I’d be interested to understand how the other 12 constitute 202 cubic feet when they’re such things as a wagon,  two little picture box, two more china boxes, a rocking chair an specific end table because the one about the payoff form etc.. Inventory List:I’d supply a list checklist with Mr. Ricci in the first quote.  I had been worried about the mislabeling of things b/c that it was not merely a dresser being known as a bureau but a sled being known as a”ice-cream” or a red wagon being known as a”toy car”.   When I obtained this stock sheet I had been deeply concerned of the possible mismanagement that could happen with my things.    Delivery Services:Again please visit the attached email of James Ricci’s emphasized in bold green that he says that comprised is all disassembling and reassembling of all furniture and pruning and placement of all items.   If it says that they are likely to place the things I am uncertain how they’re likely to do this without taking them from the box.   Also at the time of pickup my Mom was advised that the unpacking of all boxes could be accomplished by the movers as it came in the destination.  And finally about the order for support form which Nicole Patrick delivered there’s yet another $200 billed on the”Containers, Packing & Unpacking” line.  If actually the unpacking wasn’t included then I’d anticipate that that would be detailed out someplace but again it was not.The first claims form that I shipped to Universe Express contested not just items received damaged or not sent (which some weren’t addressed on this settlement) but prices that were tacked on for packaging that wasn’t done and was to be included in addition to added CU feet charges which were grossly inflated and billed at the time that the shipment has been picked up.  Please be aware that the Goodwill gesture settlement that they plotted you was obsolete 8/27/13 nevertheless I never received advice on this even after I contacted them on 9/5/13 concerning the condition of the claim.  Clearly they had been completed processing but denied to inform me of the and that’s the perfect illustration of why I started a claim with the BBB before their 90 days.  Also the fantastic faith settlement claim that they plotted you will not incorporate a one of a kind painting that they lost in dispatch in addition to the extra things which were delivered ruined b/c their movers. When the products were picked up I had been billed an additional amount for”professional packaging” however the majority of the delicate items were failed and all the classic furniture needed packaging tape put on the bare wood that subsequently pulled off the ending when left and removing a gummy substance that can’t be removed resulting in irreversible damage.

    Worst Moving Company Ever!

    Don’t Use Universe Express. I was billed over $1500 more than initially mentioned, they held on my own things longer than agreed upon and if they eventually delivered, 11 things were lost (like my daughter’s mattress and bed ) and 5 things were ruined beyond repair (like our large chair). Now (more than 4 months after ) they’re denying to provide the lost things (stolen by these ) or reimbursing the cost to replace them.

    Biggest scam artist

    Worst service ever. I opted to make a go for this particular business based on the fantastic reviews. However, my experience with this provider is a nightmare. Everything looks good until pickup. When it had been a time for shipping nobody has been there to answer your own telephone. Never get any call from them concerning the delivery. I needed to call all of the time. Eventually, when they arrived for shipping, they came with an very major trailer that I specifically told them never permitted on land. After few discussions, we settled overuse of trolleys n shuttle where they billed me couple hundred dollars extra and I paid them. However, the trailer was too large that did not work out. We needed to unload the truck at local church parking lot n I needed to employ a second little u haul to carry my things to my house and in addition to that when I requested motorist to return the cash that he took for using trolleys n shuttle, he refused and stated this money he’s charging for the delay in unloading of these stuff for me. The story does not end there. My bunch of things were lost and also my half of the glassware was smashed.  Stay away from these. They’re the largest scam artist on the market.

    Poor service

    Worst experience. – Delivery Delayed: picked up my things on will 30th (NJ). I’d requested them to send on June 6th. They delivered on 22nd Jun (Tx). – Rep lies: when I asked for standing in between, surgeries woman (Nicole Patrick) explained truck broke down. I checked with driver and he refused that his truck broke down. He picked up the things 4 days prior to the day of shipping and he moved to Houston first. – No security of things: 1 box overlooking that they’re supposedly still searching for following two months and they aren’t able to discover. Truck was filled with atleast things from 5-6 homes without a care of delicate items (if you indicate it or not). TV Table is broken that was packaged with their Consequently called”specialist packers”. Delivery guys weren’t able to spot our items. They had been asking us for each and every product. – Claims: I’d set the claim for lost box and TV table (total of 120 Lbs). They dropped TV table assert stating that it had been manufactured from pressed wood. They calculated that the size and burden of this missing box into 21 Lbs. And in accordance with their announcement -“To preserve HIGH CUSTOMER SATISFACTION”, they are refunding me a large amount of 12 for the inconvenience on account of their so called”professional” service. That too after nearly two weeks of delivery.I actually wonder in my box if lost or Stolen because it’d quite important docs and digital products.  Pay extra and receive much better support than heading for this particular corporation. . They’re large Liars and Cheater. .

    Would definitely recommend

    Universe Express were considerate, professional and invisibly all of the way through. They lent me a quote and that is exactly what I really paid. No surprises. Roberto and his group are a hard-working group. They arrived on time, called me until their birth, were quickly, disassembled and built my furniture were wanted, also had a grin constantly (although it had been hot and humid in my moving day). There was not any harm to my furniture plus also they did wrap it all up well (cassette and packaging stuff was contained in the cost ). They ended the movement in the projected 5 hours and that I paid just what I had been nominated for. I am simply writing this inspection to provide credit were it is due. Due Universe Express, could certainly use you again when desired.

    AVOID AT ALL COST! BIGGEST SCAM ARTISTS!

    AVOID. BIGGEST SCAM ARTISTS! They attracted a truck which was too little to finish the task and understaffed it as well. They could not fit all of our possessions and the task required two excursions. They advised us they known as”Juan” to receive two more men and a truck into our home and after that never revealed. They refused to create the further excursions and accumulated an extra $110 for petrol, which was contained in our flat charge. The movers reported on the firm that extra excursions were rejected by people , when we explicitly requested for them. And of course Nicole Patrick, the supervisor, was incredibly rude and non judgmental regarding the tight job done and also the simple fact that we had been swindled by her workers and the provider. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!

    Overall an excellent experience. I exercised a quotation on the telephone and was billed the specific same sum on delivery day. Including tax and suggestion, my transfer across city was below $450. The movers were on time and fast. Everything was wrapped and secure very well during dispatch. No damages. In my new location the movers put my furniture up precisely where I needed it. I would use them again later on.

    Top Grade Move in New Jersey!

    I hired this firm to transfer my present residence alongside a storage unit at precisely the exact same area to a greater home here from the jersey City region.  The organization had a wonderful speed, were suitably bonded, and arrived with a few pisitive street charge, particularly from neighbors within my brand new block. The movers called promtly before coming while in transit, and during the course of the two destinantion moves the job was excellent, transportation and packaging of loose things (and televsions) was outstanding.  The moversd were considerate, target oriented, and did not cut corners while assisting us load our new house.  They were quite fair in hourly and cost rates, and the entire experience left me quite happy.  I’d have no trouble recommending this team to anybody from the fuiture.  Fantastic job, Universal!

    Best Service

    I filed my petition on the internet and Universal Express was the first to answer. The sales man was very professional and considerate. I had been provided a quote prior to the telephone call ended and has been quite delighted with the cost. I obtained quite timely mail followups with quite simple to follow directions to record everything I had been moving. I transferred my daughter into Brooklyn from Edison NJ to get her nearer to college. My transfer had a complete living area, bedroom and a couple of kitchen items.The transferring crew was quite ready and understood exactly what they were doing. They appeared to really go that extra mile from the packaging and loading of my own things. The movement began on the time guaranteed and the care they required unloading was completed effortlessly. I spoke to other businesses rather than a one arrived near the ceremony I had been guaranteed by Universal Express. I only knew by the conversation on the telephone with the very first contact that something was unique about Universal.I can simply mention my sixth sense had been perfect. I’d use this company for any movement I might have to create it into another city or across the nation. They moved beyond my greatest expectations and I’m a customer for life. Robert M Edison NJ

    Complete Experience was Horrible

    ****MOVERS BEWARE*****UNIVERSE EXPRESS ARE RIP-OFFS*****that I Would Need to agree with another reviewers also say stay away from Universe Express! This had been the strangest experience I have had with a moving company in my own life. The problems handily started once I paid my money. I had been having things sent out of my grandmother’s house from NJ on WA. I put up an arrangement with the firm to allow them to ship me all of the files necessary to signal since I won’t exist in NJ through the scheduled pickup. Though they agreed initially , they retracted and stated that there were records that needed to be signed up in person. I said I would be fine with my grandma signing files provided that I managed to assess the documents initially, therefore prevent her being cared for. They consented but didn’t honor that arrangement that I did not find out until afterwards.  They were two days late due to their scheduled pickup. Just calling once in their first scheduled date to mention they had been running a couple of minutes behind. I needed to phone them about the next day late to find out what was happening. They rescheduled along with me and was overdue because of their rescheduled time, they were assumed to appear in the afternoon and did not encounter before 4:00 p.m.. Throughout the pick-up procedure, things they originally consented to shoot (chandelier) throughout their site-visit/estimate that they all of a sudden could not take. They forced my grandma to sign documents with no studying them, stating they did not have enough time to allow them to see them since they had been in a hurry. Come to discover they composed”broken” alongside all those things they chose up, no doubt that a strategy to pay them if they broke something through the transfer since the products were in terrific condition and weren’t actually broken. Though we haven’t any’evidence’, my grandma’s brand new 4g telephone (that was a present ) went missing the exact same time they abandoned and never to be discovered again. After many telephone calls to the supervisor, I managed to make them pick the chandelier up that they chose at the last moment they wouldn’t take, even though they did raise the whole cost. Remember that they changed the price tag, even though they had ownership of the things that I had been having transferred.  After the things obtained to WA, it required numerous reschedules until they really delivered the products. The driver was searching for folks to help him moan because the first people which were supposed to aid did not show. They unloaded the things, and everything looked fine till they drifted the classic dining room table and then put it on its own face to build and then proceeded to measure on the dining table. As soon as they turned the table around, I instantly noticed a bit of this table has been broken away. I pointed out it for them and they tried to say it was already like that utilizing their record that had busted written near every product. My husband discovered the broken bit in their wrap and at the stage we had evidence that they could not contend with. I filed numerous quotes to repair the thing (which wasn’t cheap) and all the other requested items due to their claim procedure over the 9 month timeframe I’d per their arrangement. I got a response saying they refused the claim since it wasn’t within the time period and that I signed a document saying they wouldn’t cover damage to all those sort of things. Not only have I never signed a document saying that, I hadn’t ever heard or seen of the record before. They never filed this record to me nor had I got a copy of the record upon delivery of things just like I did with all the files my grandma signed into my absence. I rate them a”0″ from 10.

    Poor Billing and Delivery

    They arrived in mid nighttime for pickup the things and didn’t package the items in front of me and gave me estimation 550 CU FT distance approx. And delivered the items just in 500 CU FT. rather than prepared return surplus quantity

    We obtained the items in rather bad and ruined state.

    1). Wooden TV Console 46 Inch TV – Totally busted – Cost 232 USD
    2). Wooden Book Shelf – Totally Broken- Price 50 USD
    3). Baby Swing – Parts missing Not capable to assemble-Price 273 USD
    4). 2 Backyard seat – Totally divided – 20 USD

    Other furniture additionally have scratches.

    This is due to complete neglect of packaging. They billed for at least 550 Cu Trainers but strove to place items in under 500 Cu Feet that is the only one of the motive of breakage. Together with the promise I would like to repay the excess amount fee on reserving space as stated in bill.

    In addition, we carry a return receipt where your delivery person mentioned about ruined clearly.

    Worst movers ever

    I contacted them to get my move out of NJ to NH. On the phone they gave quote of about 1100. When actually they chose up, they raised cost to 1750. I don’t have any way to understand many cufeet it’s. Originally they told me it’ll take 2-3 days to deliver.After they chose up, once I called them , they state that they 10 business days from my date of  accessibility that’s over 15 days of date of pickup. I am still waiting for this to be sent. Not even once did they say that it will take them 10 business days daily I mentioned, I’ll be avaiable. They say, they have it signed in contract because they create un signal 100s of days until pick up. I had no hint that they said it in contract some where.   If they had said over the telephone or in the time of pickup, I wouldnt have taken this path. Very bad customer service when contacted on the telephone. I would never recommend this business to some one.

    Excellent Move

    I want to thank Universe Express Movers to get a Fantastic job on the current movement I’d done together.   The movers were excellent on tackling and manuvering my things out of a 2nd floor walk up to my destination tackle.   I had been worried with the movement of my grandfather clock in Addition to my piano.   No doubt those movers were educated and proficient with the wrap and packaging regarded to my most valuable things, in Addition to lifting and tranporting the things up and down flights of stairs.   Not a scratch, amazing job!   I will highly recommend your business, thanks again!

    Excellent Movers

    We appreciated Universe Express to our transfer in Bergen County to Hudson County. By the beginning of our expertise we all felt well cared for and that our valuables are in great hands.  They took excellent care of most of our possessions and were cautious with all our furniture.  They wrapped up our 56 inch TV in order that no damange had been completed. 
    My dad has also employed them due to his transferred and has been just as happy with their services.

    Satisfied

    The moving business was great. The most important inspection is to get the sales agent… she was offered when I called her to get the specifics of the proceeding,period and the feed back to her if the motorist left along with the packaging help was also done. This is our very first move in NJ – NJ… The movement began around 7.30 and completed with 12.30 in the day. The transfer was 3 bedroom completely furnished families and the quotation has been in my budget once I compared with different movers and the date has been elastic that I had the most. Overall I didn’t have any issue using them. “My piano has been secure”. Great! Thankyou Universe Express.

    Terrible! Beware of add on's and slow service to accrue hours

    I picked Universe Express to get a 42 mile movement within NJ. They arrive, begin the clock and pay 30 mins which makes you sign up paperwork. In the meanwhile the other movers take their sweet time moving possessions, and the rate (or lack of it), is likely coordinated through texts involving the lead man and movers. My experience was that they require a great deal of time and essentially hold you hostage because your possessions are from the truck. Additionally watch out for surprises such as mileage, fuel taxes, crating..etc! Just absurd and I am considering filing a complaint with the BBB. I feel these men were formerly called Enterprise Relocation. I had been quoted $300 and ended up paying $700.

    Universal Express Ripped us Off

    We originally contacted UNIVERSE EXPRESS Moving & Storage to find a quote and price quote. We supplied them with a thorough list of all furniture and things necessary to be transferred and approximate number of boxes. They advised me that it should take approximately (3) hours to the comprehensive move and that it would be $392.00. This sounded like a fair price so that we gave them a $100.00 deposit.

    We had a scheduled moving window from Between 12:00PM-2:00PM on October 1, 2011. They were quite late and didn’t appear until 4:30. As a result of this, we needed to wait around for them.

    When they did eventually appear required a lengthy time packing up stuff. Then they told me that there were added fees since they’d wrapped a bedroom mirror along with a dining room hutch. When they were completed packing the truck, they left and we left after them. We got the flat and they weren’t there. We sat there and waited patiently for another 20-30 minutes before we saw them push from the new flat. After about 20 more minutes had passed and they didn’t appear however, we chose to offer them a phone. They stated they had been down parked on a road round the corner. We requested them”nicely why you did not call us?” They didn’t have any excuse.

    When they eventually showed up in the new apartment that they took a very long time unloading the truck. As it came time for them to reassemble our pricey dining room table, they were not able to locate that the (8) bolts and hardware. Then they blamed us for throwing them out. We spent a little of the time searching throughout the van and did not locate the bolts. After they’d left the bolts were discovered in a box that the movers had placed them in and forgotten about. We needed to reassemble the dining table by ourselves.

    While transferring the movers damaged and chipped one of our dressers. The then attempted to mention it was like this. We’ve since discovered the broken little bits on the ground below the dresser in which the movers had clearly damaged it.

    As it came time to cover up, the movers moved through the bill with us. They included gas surcharges and other penalties, including an excess hour to allow them to push back to their workplace. The last bill was $750.00. That is 91 percent higher than their initial quote to maneuver this tiny apartment of things. I contended with those guys and did not feel as though I must cover. In the long run I needed to go to the ATM and get the money and cover them. We had been definitely taken advantage of. The movers did not depart get”completed” before 10:15PM at nighttime. They charged us for seven hours complete.

    Never apply these crooks. You’ll be sorry like we’re.

    Additionally, the 3 hispanic movers talked in spanish and has been stating quite improper and sexual matters about my girlfriend along with her friend and believed we couldnt know them, however we did.
