What to Know About American Moving & Storage
American Moving & Storage is a mid-tier NYC mover offering a full range of services at competitive prices. They occupy the broad middle of the market — competent but unremarkable. Their storage facility is a genuine asset, and their all-borough coverage provides convenience. However, their generic name makes it difficult to distinguish them from similarly named companies, which complicates online research. Recent reviews suggest a decline in crew quality, with more damage complaints than in earlier years. This pattern sometimes indicates a company that's cutting corners on labor to maintain competitive pricing — a common trade-off in the moving industry. For customers who want reliable storage integrated with their move, American is functional. For the move itself, Movd's platform offers more accountability — real-time crew matching means you get the closest available vetted team, flat-fee pricing eliminates billing disputes, and the platform's rating system ensures consistent crew quality over time. When booking through Movd, you'll see American Moving & Storage alongside 12 other DOT-licensed movers. Compare prices, availability, and choose the best option for your specific move.

Why NYC Movers Choose Flat-Fee Packages Over Hourly Rates
These customers researched traditional movers like American Moving & Storage but chose Movd's package system instead
"Fourth-floor brownstone walk-up and I was braced for a stair fee. Nope — stairs were already in the flat rate, and there was no overage on move day. Exactly what they quoted."
Marcus B.
Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn • Walk-up move
"Studio move on the Economy package. I under-counted my boxes, but the built-in volume buffer covered the extras — no change to my price. Simple and honest."
Ana G.
Sunnyside, Queens • Studio move
"We packed ourselves and hired a Movd crew for the heavy stuff. It was way cheaper than renting a truck, and they navigated our walk-up like champs."
David P.
Lower East Side, Manhattan • Self-pack move
