First time hiring movers out of college, so I can’t say this is my /best/ moving experience ever (since it was my only one), but it was a pretty good one.
I yelped a bunch of moving companies and called them all, with this one being one of the few to pick up. After a few minutes of exchanging details on where I wanted to move from and to and about how much stuff I had, I was able to get a quote. There were different times to choose from (morning or afternoon), how many people you wanted (2-3 man team), a guesstimate of how many hours it will take…and then SURPRISE! Oh what’s that? You were referred by a friend? Who? Let me look him up?
5 minutes later and they told me they would give me the same (cheaper) pricing he got. Thanks, friend :).
I scheduled my move from Berkeley to SF, confirmed the details, and was done in a matter of minutes.
On the day of the move, everything went nice and smooth. Despite my terrible packing (I had bags of loose articles that they ended up placing into wardrobe boxes that are considered FREE, unlike regular boxes), they were in and out and away to my new place pronto.
Quick, painless, everything unbroken, would definitely use again. Did I mention there was a yelp deal that made this whole experience that much sweeter?
Local Move
Excellent experience! These guys were quick, nice and professional. Would highly recommend.
This moving team was outstanding, from the estimate all the way through to the finish!
We called them in last minute to move our family run business when it became clear that the original (and landlord recommended) moving company
(American Relocation & Logistics) was WAY over charging us.
Fortunately for us, Northstar gave us a fair estimate AND got it done in half the time and for HALF the price the other company quoted.
Great company!
Great movers! Showed up on time and reasonable pricing.
My mom used NorthStar for her move and suggested I do the same since they did a good job for a fair price. Previousy, I had used friends and my brother to help me move, but all the big muscle was going to be out of town.
I called to make my appointment and they had no trouble scheduling me for the time I wanted. I can’t remember her name, but the girl that booked the appointment also mentioned the Yelp deal while I was on the phone. It was a pleasant surprise because a lot of places won’t mention special deals when it means they get paid less.
Day of the move: they sent 3 guys to move my 1 bedroom apt to another 1 bedroom apt about 10 miles away (I know it’s not far at all, but it cuts my commute down by 20 minutes). They were scheduled to arrive between 8 and 10 AM. I got a call at 7:45 saying they’d be there in 20 min. Great! When they arrived, the head guy went over the contract and pricing with me. He quoted $1200 dollars and said “This number is going to be scary, but it’s a purposely high estimate just so we don’t go over it.” Understandable, but I was still estimating to pay about $500 when all was said and done. I had pretty much packed everything and my apartment was basically empty by 10 AM. They got to my new place and everything was unloaded in about an hour.
After everything was unpacked, the earlier quote was updated and the total came out to less than $300 (with the Yelp deal). This also included all materials (4 rolls of tape and some plastic wrap) so it was a great deal!
I would absolutely use NorthStar again!

Friendly crew that really hustled. No complaints about all the stairs. They arrived late, but called ahead to warn us. Highly recommend.
Recently I moved in Los Angeles with Northstar Moving. I needed help packing everything and the movers were a great team, efficient and proficient. I recommend them to anyone moving.

Great service
Excellent communication and great service. They moved all our appliances and boxes and furniture from our old apt to our new home within time alotted. A bit more than what others were offering I found their service top notch. We used the Yelp Coupon and saved some $$$$…..also a little addendum….tape up everything yourself…they charge for taping stuff up….
