We hired US Express Moving for their reasonable quote without really knowing much about them. They really delivered on the promise. The movers were very punctual to arrive. They packed everything carefully. I was amazed to see how delicately they packed our breakables. Their system was very effective and the job was done very quickly. They delivered on time as well. The final bill was very close to the initial quote and we were just so happy with everything these guys did for us.

It was great to work with Mike and his team. The execution was flawless and the price was very reasonable. They did everything they can to make it right. They stayed until the job was complete and I was satisfied. All items were placed where I wanted them. I enjoyed working with Mike and his team so much so that we hired them for a second job. BIG thank you to Mike, Scott, James, Joel, Johnson, Abel (my apologies if I misspelled your names) --Many thanks, Theron

Brian Schultz

I’m grateful to US Express Moving for making my first move so easy. They gave me an amazing quote and sent over four movers. While they didn’t really understand much English, it wasn’t really too hard to communicate with them. They were experienced enough to know what to do and how to do it. They very efficiently packed up all my belongings and then loaded them on to the truck. Even the delivery was made on time and none of my valuables were broken or damaged. Their experience with moving really saved my day!

Gavin Grant

Linden, NJ

US Express Moving really are the best movers. We moved our big office and the guys came ready to work with all the right tools! They treated our furniture, computers etc with extreme care. They were very hard working, patient and they took direction very well. I would really recommend this company for any of your moving ventures.

Michael R.

My relationship with US Express Moving NJ goes a long way back. They have helped me move so many times over the last 10 years. So for my last move I naturally hired them. They perform exceptionally on the field. They train their men very well and the crew is very helpful. I have never seen or heard of them being late. They have always given me the lowest quotes. This company really understands how important it is to satisfy the client and they always deliver on the promise. I can always rely on these guys.

Anne H.

Manhattan, NY

All in all this was the single best move of our lives. The guys were so upbeat it made what is normally a stressful, trying experience a day filled with lots of laughter. I cannot recommend US Express Moving Systems strongly enough. If I ever need to move again, I would pay extra just to have them do the move. You can't go wrong with US Express Moving Systems. They are unequivocally the BEST movers EVER! THANK YOU US Express Moving Systems!!!!!

Isaac Chapman

US Express Moving was great to work with as we planned to move my mother. US Express Moving mover met with at her home to discuss the move, accommodating her schedule. He then boxed up her old home in about 4 hours on one day and a few days later moved all her items into his truck (per her schedule). They worked non-stop for 6 hours to unpack the truck and every item in every box. The fee was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend US Express Moving for a high quality move.

Roland E.

Robert W.

I was very pleased with the entire staff; the guys who came to move me were very pleasant and did a great job packing our items. They were nice, worked efficiently and nothing was damaged! Should I need to mover in the future I’ll definitely hire US Express Moving again.

Jacob

The entire team at US Express Moving NJ was really great! My husband and I definitely do recommend them if you're looking for a mover that's trustworthy. We have a one-bedroom apartment and they were able to transport everything to our new apartment and it took just about a day. The movers did not need any help and they work extremely well together. Everything was very affordable and we would definitely use them again in the future.

Charlie M.

Tenafly, NJ

Second time I've used this company. They are always dependable, extremely respectful, and careful with my belongings. I could not recommend this company enough. Great communication from start to finish. Everyone in the offices I spoke to and communicated with via email we're outstanding. My actual move day went smoothly and quickly while the upmost care was taken for all my belongings.

Richard R.

US Express Moving Systems are great! Sam and Walter helped my sister move yesterday and they were very efficient! Very polite, friendly and showed respect! Thank you guys

Steve F.

Lodi, NJ

The crew we were sent worked their butts off from the very minute they got there to the second the job was done. I could not have asked for a better crew of movers.

Christian Scott

With a quick closing date, we needed flexible movers at an affordable price. US Express Moving mover was absolutely wonderful! His quote was prompt, accurate and very reasonable! They packed and moved our whole house with great care and utilized every inch of our rented . I would highly recommend US Express Moving to anyone looking to reduce the stress and strain of the moving process.

Janis A.

NC, NC

I moved from Northern New Jersey to Greensboro, NC with US Express Moving Systems last week and am extremely pleased. The salesman George D'Andrea made the process easy for me and explained the process. He answer all the questions I had. Edwin and his moving team were pleasant and professional. They handled all my items with care, were on time and very efficient. Moving is very difficult but US Express Moving Systems helped make it go smoothly!

Victoria K.

North Bergen, NJ

From start to finish US Express Moving Systems was amazing. I first spoke with Doug, who was extremely knowledgeable about the area I was moving to, as well as the NJ moving industry in general. They were very professional and had such great positive attitudes. They helped me feel less stressed during a hectic time. I cannot praise Ric, Vaughn, and Komo enough. I will definitely be using US Express Moving Systems again in the future and will recommend them to family and friends.

Arlene K.

Westwood, NJ

US Express Moving Systems did a fantastic job on my move (July 18, 2020). They did the original estimate by facetime (due to Covid) which went really well. The quote was accurate, they were in touch with me the week of the move (I never had to reach out to them to confirm anything, they were always on it), the guys showed up on time and were professional. The move went well without any issues (moving can be so stressful, but they put my mind at ease from the beginning).

Brian B.

Our trio of guys (Josbin, Will, Daniel S) weren't exactly given the easiest of situations to deal with, and if anything, their presence and demeanor were a calming influence on my wife and me. They were fast, efficient, sociable, and just overall pleasant to work with. Regardless of the job, would highly recommend these gentlemen as well as US Express Moving Systems overall.

Mary Beth H.

Wyckoff, NJ

US Express Moving Systems were professional and reliable. I used them to pack and unpack an entire house. It was efficient and the movers were extremely hard workers. Will was my contact on the job and was a true professional. Reasonable money also. I highly recommend.

Jamie J.

Mount Pleasant, SC

US Express Moving System were informative and helpful every step of the way. Pricing was reasonable. The two guys arrived on time to pick up my stuff and from the moment they pulled into my parking lot, and left, was a total of two hours. Delivery down to SC only took three days (granted I moved end of January which is the slower season, but still!). Nothing was broken or missing upon delivery. I am a happy customer and would highly recommend US Express Moving Systems!

Michael Fauntleroy

When my sister heard that I was moving, she advised me to hire US Express Moving. The movers arrived on time and they took a thorough inventory. They asked me precisely how much packing materials they could use since some of them weren’t free. The packing and loading process went smoothly. They made the delivery on time and helped me unpack and put everything where I wanted them to. I’m not a moving expert but I couldn’t imagine this move going any easier than it did.

Amy Chan

I had been hiring a different moving company in the past. This time they were not available and I opted for US Express Moving instead. These men made me realize what I was missing out on! It took them a very short time to finish packing and loading everything from my 3-bedroom apartment. They weren’t just fast but also very thorough. Every item was packed with great care. They delivered everything on time in great condition. I don’t think I would be hiring the other company as long as these guys are available!

Joanne C.

Hastings-on-Hudson, NY

US Express Moving Systems did an amazing job moving me again this time out of storage in Franklin lakes to my walk up apartment in Hastings-on-Hudson, NY. All of the movers were kind and worked very hard. Everything arrived in one piece. Thank you US Express Moving Systems for your professionalism and for making moving easier than I thought it would be! I highly recommend US Express Moving Systems!

Vanessa Ball

Not your typical moving company, US Express Moving is run by a very impressive local couple with a great future. Polite, on time, professional and their employees showed great care when handling my belongings. Very reasonable pricing, too... much cheaper than Two Men and a Truck. Would use them again and most certainly would recommend them to anyone who needs a local mover.

Lauren R.

Will definitely use this company again for my next move. They are quick and professional. Made our move so much easier!

Micheal Johnson

US Express Moving took really good care of my things. They were right on time and worked really quickly but also were very careful. They boxed everything up and used bubble wrap on all the fragile stuff. I've moved a few times from state to state and have dealt with a lot of bad moving companies. These guys did their jobs perfectly for a change and I truly appreciate that. The service was affordable and they have some really good people working for them.

Q Z.

Edgewater, NJ

Very good service! Doug led me through the entire process and got three movers to come over at two hours after I called the day before Thanksgiving. They arrvied and moved the piano into the apartment in fifteen minutes and didn't scratch or harm anything. Very good job guys!

Tim Shouthee

US Express Moving NJ is arguably one of the best movers I have ever hired. They were quick and professional and the price they charged is comparatively cheaper than what other movers offered me. Just more than happy with their service and will use them in near future, whenever I will be in need of a local or long distance one. Thank you everybody for the hard work and efforts!

Dee G.

Lake George, NY

From my end, the move was perfect! There were a few surprises for the movers but they never missed a beat. They were pleasant, professional and worked hard to complete the move in a timely manner. The customer service was exceptional from my first phone call with Adam through the confirmation stage and right down to the moment I shook the hands of the movers as they prepared to leave. Top-notch!

Mark Keller

From my initial phone call to them, I knew US Express Moving NJ can easily do the job for me. Everyone in the crew was professional and nice to deal with. They handled everything starting from packing, loading and unloading the stuff very smoothly and calmly. They didn't lose a step anytime. Great work!

India U.

River Edge, NJ

One of the smoothest moves I have ever had!! Both guys ( Nakia, and Junior) that came were great, friendly, and were total professionals. I highly recommend!!!

Oliver Nolan

If you need a company that is honest and upfront with all costs plus provides very fair pricing, this is the company to call! US Express Moving owner, is awesome! He came and walked my house and we discussed my move in great detail. He provided me with an estimate range and it was right on. The three movers that came with him on moving day were very careful, thoughtful and excellent to work with. I have a second move coming up in November and Jason will be the one that I call. Thank you for a job well done!

KK K.

Had US Express Moving Systems helped with my move this weekend and it was a life saver! The whole process was so smooth and swift that it finished within 3 hours. The way they packed and wrapped my items in the truck, and the process they took in planning the whole move was very professional. If I ever have to move again, or if I know of someone moving, US Express Moving Systems is the one to contact! Efficient + Friendly + Professional = Winning combo! Thank you so much!

William Henderson

I am never again hiring out any other relocation company. I will only work with US Express Moving because they are the people who surely deserve to give the relocation work. I reached out for these people two months ago. Considering the relocation date that I requested, it was short notice. Despite all that, they still made it and ensured that it was all glamorous. It was such a great idea getting to know them. For sure, I do recommend them.

Tony D.

I contacted US Express Moving Systems for my last move. Scheduled an appointment with Doug to give an estimation. On the day of the move, Harvey and his crew arrived and finished on time with no extra charge. They took very well care of the fourniture. Having worked with other movers in the past, with mixed results .. I cannot recommend them more!

Dominic Rivera

I have never used a moving company before and finally decided I didn't want to deal with all the hassle myself. US Express Moving made my moving experience painless from start to finish with no surprises. They were on time and professional, all with a competitive price. Nothing was damaged and everything was handled with care. I would hire them to move my house again without a question.

New York, NY

We booked a move with US Express Moving Systems for late April, two weeks before the move, during prime moving season. From the moment we called to the day the movers unloaded the last item from their truck, everything just went so smoothly. The movers who helped us that day were Harvey, Josbin and Jorge. They were friendly, helpful, and super efficient. From start to finish, they were courteous, professional, and overall, just nice guys. We heartily recommend US Express Moving Systems, and if you're lucky, you might get to work with Harvey, Josbin & Jorge.

Peter Shellman

Moving with US Express Moving was equal to an A-class moving because everything was done very professionally. My family and I are satisfied with the service and how the moving team did their job, but most of all with the final price that was affordable and that nothing was damaged along the way. I cannot thank them enough! They are very strongly recommended!

JoAnn R.

Cliffside Park, NJ

Professional & courteous service from first inquiry until the last piece of furniture was put into place. Ricky, Oscar & Vaughn were professional, organized and very personable. They made the process so much easier for me. The employee who answered the phone was pleasant and eager to answer my questions. Thank you so much. I will definitely refer you to my friends and colleagues!

John Rosese

The best movers I have ever hired. They did a great job! Made sure everything was wrapped and protected. They were very efficient and did an awesome job helping me move. I'd highly recommend to anyone who needs a mover. Thanks to US Express Moving NJ.

Samantha R.

Hoboken, NJ

I utilized US Express Moving Systems for my long distance move. They provided me a clear estimate. All other companies I contacted had me "guess" on the number of boxes etc I needed. US Express Moving Systems actually came to my home to see exactly what I had. This allowed them to give me a 100% accurate quote. I was afraid of hidden costs but US Express Moving Systems was upfront and laid it all out for me.

Vincent Harvey

These movers are great. They came back to me with a reasonable quote for a small move. I can't say enough good things about these guys. Nothing was impossible for them. I am a collector of many, many things and had many boxes to carry from upstairs. My daughter said that the foreman and movers were very nice and that they took good care of her belongings. We would use this company again.

Walter Wood

US Express Moving NJ are the best movers in town. They are fast and very careful with your items and super polite. This is my second time using them and the price is great you can’t beat it. I would use them any day of the week. Thank you!!

Donna B.

Newark, NJ

This was the 4th time in 30 years this mover handled our move- so good that I just always use them, professional reliable and knowledgeable. Emish and his crew took my 5 Bedroom 3 floor home in 2 stages, we moved our outside/pool furniture, garage and basement contents, it took almost 2 trucks! Then the next week they packed the house, which went into storage for almost 3 months. I can honestly say the guy did a great job!

Jesse Rose

I've used US Express Moving NJ for my last move and they've consistently been professional and efficient. The crew were especially flexible with all of my requests, and they got the move done in record time. The move was incredibly smooth. Nothing was broken or damaged. Thanks for the great service.

Gordon Bell

My experience was great. I would recommend these guys to anyone. The service was excellent, they were real professionals. They used blankets and wraps to secure all the items to make sure that nothing would break during the move. Everything was secured well to the truck. All our items got to the new place in one piece. There were no hidden charges, everything was straight forward. There's a reason why these guys have A+ rating. Thanks again guys!

Mike V

Rutherford, NJ

These guys went above and beyond! They basically took everything that wasn't nailed down. They took pictures off the wall, crates of albums and even emptied my attic, which I thought I had to do on my own since there was a lot of loose crap. They wrapped everything in blankets and bubble wrap. They disassembled and reassembled everything that needed it. The move couldn't have been smoother . I wouldn't hesitate to use US Express Moving Systems again!

Roger Sutton

Baeza Junior

Relocating is always stressful. You have so many last minute takes to tick off your list. The good thing is that there are companies like US Express Moving NJ that take some of your stress away from you. I was very well aware of their reputation and so it was no surprise that I hired them to move my stuff. These guys really mean business. They arrived on time with all the right equipment and they knew exactly what to do, how to do them. Before I knew it, the stress of packing up and leaving became a piece of cake!

Tiffany Jackson

Most moving companies usually give you a time period during which they would deliver. All of them deliver at the end of that time-frame. So imagine my surprise when US Express Moving decided to deliver on the first day of that period! I was just so glad that I didn’t have to spend my first nights in my new house on an air mattress. It was so stressful leaving but these guys made my move quite easy.

Bret Reck

Sebastian M.

Clifton, NJ

James and his able crew moved my office on March 26/22, and I was sincerely impressed with his communication, the careful service, and the price of US Express Moving. James also arranged for some storage for me at a perfect location and reasonable cost. When a glitch occurred at my end with booking cargo elevators for the move, James was flexible and resourceful at finding a perfect solution. I will be booking US Express Moving again, once my face-to-face office resumes post-COVID, that is for sure. Thanks, James!
