A. Fazio Moving & Storage review (2026)

A. Fazio Moving & Storage in one paragraph

A. Fazio Moving & Storage runs out of Ramsey, NJ, and covers interstate (48). Current FMCSA filing shows USDOT 117631 and MC 36426. A. Fazio Moving & Storage files from Ramsey, New Jersey as a single federal registrant with five power units and two drivers on the federal file, and no parent, franchise network, van-line relationship or sibling registration located in the records reviewed. The company prints its own federal identifiers on its website and they match the registration described here. The exact operating-authority classes carried on the registration could not be read from the sources reviewed, so no authority role is asserted in either direction. No federal safety rating is carried on the file; a compliance review date from the 1960s exists in the record but a review date is not a rating and is not published as one. The company describes its history only in relative terms, so no founding year is stored.

Estimated cost of a move with this carrier

This is an estimated quote range, not a record of prices paid. For a 2-bedroom interstate move, A. Fazio Moving & Storage quotes generally land in the $1,200–$4,600 range, with the midpoint of that estimated range near $2,900. The low end of that range usually applies to off-season runs under 1,000 miles with self-packing; the high end shows up on full-service summer moves over 2,000 miles.

Local hourly pricing through A. Fazio Moving & Storage is not published by the company and we hold no rate card for it. Our national editorial estimate for a two-mover crew and a truck on a local move is $105 to $155 an hour, May 2026, and it is a model figure rather than a quote from this carrier. Ask whether travel time, fuel surcharge, and stair fees sit inside or outside the hourly number, because that is where two apparently identical quotes diverge.

Where this carrier may fit

Bergen County households wanting a small owner-run New Jersey carrier rather than an agency chain. That is an editorial view of fit, not a measured performance result: we hold no complaint-rate, claims-outcome or satisfaction dataset for A. Fazio Moving & Storage. Three things make any move with this company more predictable, whatever the carrier: an inventory list locked in two or more weeks ahead, a binding not-to-exceed estimate in writing, and a destination ZIP the company services directly rather than through a subcontracted agent.

How to work around the main trade-off

The trade-off summarised at the top of this page is the one that most often costs readers money with A. Fazio Moving & Storage. Two questions defuse it at quote stage: ask for the specific line items that drive the number up on your move profile, and ask whether the crew at your origin is employed directly or subcontracted to a local agent.

Then price the same inventory with one alternative below. A second quote on identical inventory is the only reliable way to tell whether the premium buys you anything on your particular lane.

A. Fazio Moving & Storage vs the competition

Booking process, step by step

• Request a quote with a complete inventory list. Online forms are fine for a first pass; a video survey is what makes a binding number stick.
• Insist on binding-not-to-exceed in writing. Federal rules let a carrier collect up to 110% of a non-binding estimate at delivery, with the balance billed later; a binding not-to-exceed estimate removes that exposure.
• Confirm valuation coverage. Released value (the federal default) pays $0.60 per pound. Full-value protection costs more but actually replaces a damaged TV.
• Confirm pickup and delivery windows. For interstate jobs the delivery window is a range, not a date — plan accordingly.
• On move day, walk the truck and check the inventory list before signing the Bill of Lading. Note any pre-existing damage on the form.
