I've been dealing with them for years, never had a problem. Always let me be a little late with my stuff until recently when I was one and a half months over due on some jewelry that a family friend had custom made for me, instead of calling me or holding it they had it melted down. 7 years I've been dealing with them, always paid, always cleared up my debts with them and they wouldn't even wait an extra few weeks for me to come and get it. My friend has now passed away and I have a great job so will not need them anymore. Just be warned they put money and greed ahead of keeping good customers! I'll be going elsewhere for anything I could buy there, such short sighted and greedy people! At least my friend will never find out that I pawned his jewelry! :(
We were very disappointed to learn that your jewellery was liquidated, especially due its sentimentality. We have been working with you for many years and we value the relationship with you as well as all of our customers over and above any particular item. We will hold all of our pawn loans for a period of 90 days. In your case, based on you excellent credit rating, even though the 90 days had expired, we had held your jewellery in our safe for an additional 63 days. After 153 days without you contacting us and without knowing the history of the item, we were under the impression that you had no further interest in redeeming this loan.
The circumstances that lead to this item’s liquidation is very unfortunate. We hope that we can put this in the past and provide us the opportunity to earn your business once more.

A1 is my favorite...
A1 is my favorite pawnshop overall pawnshops I been to my friends some family all go there too buy sell pawn, loan it has high quality products I highly recommend this pawnshop if you want to be treated fairly and a fair price on paying back loans and getting back pawned goods they can hold stuff up to 3 months its awesome place
Its not what you expect. Do not let the loan part of the name deter anyone from visiting A1. The staff products are exceptional.
I found myself in a very difficult situation one day. I was really tight for cash. I visited A1 and needed to borrow $150. All I had was an Xbox 360 with 2 ok games. My paycheck would be arriving soon, so all I need was a loan for one week.
I asked the tellers to borrow $150, but was disappointed to find out that the going rate for Xbox's these days are around $80. Nevertheless, I described why I needed the money and promised them that I would be back in a week to pick up.
I was very impressed when the tellers empathised with me and took me to my word. I was not able to borrow $150 but $130 instead. $50 more than the going rate. Being a man of my word, I came back and picked up the item five days after, as soon as my cheque came in.
What a great shop. Most other pawnshops would tell me to get lost, while A1 really helped me out.
