History

Established in 1948. Back in the 1940's, Sam Gordon was a milkman in Brooklyn, delivering dairy products for Grand View Dairy Company. A well-liked and respected member of the community, Sam could always be counted on to help his neighbors. Using his resources, his truck and his two sons, Sam began moving furniture for friends and neighbors. Recognizing the need for this kind of service, Sam started Big G Trucking (which has subsequently gone through several name changes). With the growth of the suburbs, Big G began moving residential customers out of, and around the city. And a full-service household moving company was born. The fleet grew and, by the mid-50's, Big G began delivering furniture for department stores like Macy's, Gimbel's and Bloomingdale's. In 1986, the A-1 First Class brand originated, and the company has been known by this name ever since.

Moving is one of those things in life that we all dread...this time around moving was a breeze. It all started with excellent customer service, clear estimate and early start on the day of. Also my belongings were handled with kid gloves. Thank you A-1, I am hoping that we are not moving anytime soon but if we do I will be calling.

I would have given 1* if this was about pricing. The company sent me the estimation and I asked again and again if this will be the actual pricing. I gave them all the details (locations, number of floors, elevator or no elevator, sent the full list of the items along with the photos) and then, overall, the final bill was 35% more than the estimation and they didn't even make a discount and they said they would need to make the collection. Overall, it was deceiving when pricing is considered as the main criteria for choosing the company. $500 overcharging is way too much. I give two stars because the moving was ok with no harm and proper packaging even though I lost the TV remote and the big closet was placed so that it was not movable at all so I had to pay extra 100 to move it to another part of the apt. Unpleasant experience, not repeating again.

We had a wonderful residential move with A-1 First Class. From the beginning, they were very professional. We received a detailed estimate and written documentation via email concerning all aspects of the move after discussing it in detail. The moving consultant we were assigned was very responsive and answered any follow-up questions we had via phone and email. The move involved some more difficult items including a piano to be carried down a set of stairs, a large piece of artwork to be packaged on move day and a few sculptures that they arranged to have crated at our home a couple of days prior to the move. Everything went smoothly. On the day of the move, the moving crew was very punctual and arrived 10 minutes early. They were very efficient, courteous and well prepared for all the items being moved/packaged. They even finished before the time that was quoted on their estimate so our bill in the end was adjusted accordingly, AMAZING! A definite "GO TO" for all your moving needs!

I recently used A-1 First Class for my move from Long Island to Manhattan and had an all around great experience. Moving is stressful, but A-1 made it easy and painless. A-1 was able to quickly send over insurance certificates to my building management and on the day of my move they arrived on time, worked fast, were extremely friendly, and handled my belongings as if they were their own. I had some suits in garment bags that the guys built a little closet box for, I thought that was pretty awesome. Also, my contractor painting in my living room and foyer so the guys had to fit all of my belongings into my bedroom. Somehow they managed to stack everything perfectly to fit in there. Most importantly their prices are very fair. Try them out, you won't be disappointed!

Absolutely awful. They moved us three years ago from Manhattan to Brooklyn. In the process, they decided to throw out valuable and precious family photos on our fridge and broke several things. When I contacted them about this, they were totally unresponsive and unapologetic.
