Celebrity Moving Company Unpacks A Greener Future Posted: Tuesday, November 13, 2007 12:35 AM by Eve Tahmincioglu Filed Under: Customer service, Vendors/suppliers, Financing, Back office, Entrepreneurship

While the rest of us dangle free beer and pizza in an effort to gather friends for “big moves”, the wealthy amongst us simply write a check and go to a resort & spa for a few days. Of course, we all know they’re missing out on the joys of self-moving - the backaches, stresses, and UHaul gripes — but us little people have to have some secrets too.

Anyways, proving that Hollywood’s penchant for green is infectious to all industries, a moving company called LA Northstar Moving Corp has decided to travel in a more eco-friendly direction. The company, which counts such stars as Angelina Jolie among its clients — is switching to biodiesel across its entire fleet. Additionally, they are also installing battery-powered lift gates on all trucks and green warehouses. Of course, all the luxuries that you would expect from a moving company to the stars will stay intact — and perhaps even a few that you never even thought of. For instance, for high-level clients that need extreme security, Northstar will send out decoy trucks to fool paparazzi and confuse your enemies. Have a very specific organizational structure for your sock drawer? The company offers something called “Photo Perfect Packing” that will snap a picture of your dresser drawers and then make sure they are “perfectly” arranged the same way after the move. A great solution for the OCD amongst us. We applaud NorthStar for converting their fleet to biodiesel and other green additions! The next time I’m awkwardly attempting to move a 300lb dresser down my steps, I’ll think fondly of them. Interested in a green move? You don’t have to be a celebrity to enjoy Northstar’s services.
