What to Know About A1 Moving & Storage
A1 Moving & Storage offers a comprehensive service range across all five boroughs with the operational history to back it up — over 20 years of continuous NYC operation. Their fleet diversity handles everything from studio moves to full office relocations, and the integrated storage facility adds genuine convenience for customers between leases. However, their review profile tells a cautionary tale: there's significant polarization between highly satisfied and highly dissatisfied customers, with the negative reviews frequently citing billing discrepancies and unresponsive customer service. This inconsistency suggests that the quality of your experience may depend heavily on which team is assigned. The generic company name makes online research frustrating — several companies use the A1 name across different states. For customers who value integrated moving-and-storage under one roof, A1 is functional. For those who want consistent quality and pricing certainty, Movd's platform eliminates the crew-assignment lottery — flat-fee pricing locks in your cost, and the matching algorithm pairs you with crews rated for reliability. When booking through Movd, you'll see A1 Moving & Storage alongside 12 other DOT-licensed movers. Compare prices, availability, and choose the best option for your specific move.
