I have used them twice now for moves in the last 2 years. Most recently we moved from Culver City area to Downtown LA. Showed up on the early side of the window and got going right away. Had 3 guys, 1 truck for $105/hour. Filled out the info form online and got a call about 5 minutes later. They actually told me about making an appt at our new place for the move in (I had no idea I needed one!) Thank god they told me, b/c I did, and North Star was a “preferred moving company” by our building so I didn’t have to mess w/ any of the insurance stuff. After not having mentioned it before the morning of the move, they even accommodated making a stop at a local Goodwill to drop of donation furniture. I was going to purchase the coupon offered here but was also glad that even if I did not know about it, I was told to purchase it when I set up the appointment. Nice to know they offer it even if you might now have know. Overall, took about 6 hours from first box out to last box in and I couldn’t be happier with the whole process. Will definitely use again in the future!
basically a 3hr job done in half the time, thanks to 3 guys moving stuff from a 1bd downstairs unit to an upstairs unit across the way. but honestly, i think i’m just overexcited at giving 5stars because literally 3min before they arrived (on time), this huuuuge roar of thunder and dark clouds came rolling in and i thought ‘oh crap’… they moved the flat screen tv first. nuff said.
5 Stars doesn’t seem like enough for NorthStar Moving Co, I think I would like to give them 10 stars!  Let me start by saying that NorthStar is the most outstanding moving company around.  Our realtor gave us their name and from the time we called them, they have been responsive and extremely professional.  Gil “the estimator” made an appt with us and came over to get more information from us and give us a best estimate on cost and logistics.  Cesar called us the day before and then also emailed us when he hadn’t heard back to confirm our move and let us know they would take care of us.  The crew including Steven, David, Jeff, Carlos and Ismail (sorry if we got a name wrong) came to our front door 7:55am with an introduction and a handshake from every member of the team.  They hustled, hustled and hustled like no ones business.  And while they were hustling they took outstanding care of every piece of furniture, double wrapping things and making sure it would survive the move as well as the rain that we had that day. This move was incredibly hard for our family from an emotional aspect and thanks to the help and support from NorthStar we couldn’t help but smile with gratitude for all their hard work.  They are truly some excellent employees and in a couple years when we move to our dream home we will be calling NorthStar again. Thank you, thank you and thank you!
I know I’m only one review out of 250+, but I had a great experience. I had to change the date one week prior -no problem. The movers were on time, courteous, and most importantly wrapped the furniture etc. really well, and they were extremely careful in handling our things. The lead guy, Oscar, was great. I plan to x call the company to let them know.
Price is reasonable since I used their yelp coupon. The moving guys were excellent and professional! My company I work for also used them for commercial moving. They made it super easy for us. We didn’t have to direct them and supervise them as they are well experienced.
We used northstar for our move from 2 apartments to one new in March. Northstar was beyond professional and made our move as easy as it could be. My boyfriend used them the next weekend to move his office and again had a great experience. Moving is still awful, but Northstar makes it better.
My directions were simple: Find a mover who wasn’t going to cost an arm and a leg, and who would handle EVERYTHING for the move themselves. After hours of searching the internet, reading reviews, sending requests for estimates, and speaking to movers who just didn’t seem to want to give direct answers, I finally received a call from Ted at NorthStar Moving Corp. Ted not only answered all of my (numerous!) questions, but supplied additional information on a few things I hadn’t thought about prior to our discussion. He also seemed comfortable giving an estimate that was less vague and more of an ACTUAL ESTIMATE (I’m not expecting to-the-penny, folks … I wanted something more than “oh, could take two hours, could take 10, depends on the day!). He explained circumstances that COULD change the estimate, and ways to avoid those complications. Ted didn’t just say, “Oh, we can handle it, no problem!” like most of the other movers I’d spoken with over the previous week. He gave specifics, didn’t rush me off the phone, and even followed up with a thorough email which had details that let me know he was not only listening, he was taking notes. I discussed the several conversations and estimates I had collected with my client, who agreed that NorthStar Moving was the way to go. I confirmed with Ted, who sent another email with the updated information. Moving day, NorthStar was an impressive machine! They came to the one-bedroom apartment in Pasadena, packed everything, wrapped the valuables, wrapped the TV to prevent breakage and to shield it from nosy neighbors in the new neighborhood, broke down a few pieces of furniture, loaded the truck, drove to the new location in Highland Park, unloaded the truck, put items and boxes wherever my client requested, cleaned up after themselves, and left. Everything ran smoothly, everyone was prompt, pleasant, and polite. My client was extremely pleased, and I was extremely happy. Just a few short weeks later, I had to call on Ted again, as the same client was moving out of the house due to a termite infestation. Ted was able to schedule a new move date without a hassle, and the movers came in and repeated the whole scenario all over again. Fabulous work, wonderful people, and an extremely efficient company. By the way: I have a second client who is getting ready to help his college-student daughter move from one apartment to another in the Korea Town area. He also accepted my recommendation for NorthStar movers, so I’ll be updating my review sometime in July!
I’ve moved many times from country to country and city to city, and I can tell you NorthStar ranks way up there in terms of ease, value and reliability. From start to finish it was painless. Ilan, their estimator, came right out the day after I called and gave a quote that — despite unforeseen difficulties — North star honored. Their actual movers were polite and very professional and even went a little above and beyond: when it turned out there was no humanly possible way to get my enormous bookcase through a stairwell, they took it apart and put it back together at no extra charge.  All in all,  if you’re looking for reliable in-country movers, there’s few that combine ease, value, punctuality and reliability so well I think.
Another great experience with NorthStar! I’ve used them three times… and each time better than the last. Setting up a date for the move was painless, and I knew exactly what to expect. The three men who helped with the move were all fantastic–professional, hard-working, and friendly. I can’t believe how fast they were! What I love is how carefully they treat my furniture. I also used the Yelp coupon for $50, and that was a nice bonus. I can’t imagine moving myself ever again! Thank you, thank you, thank you NorthStar!!!
My wife and I have used a few different movers since living in LA. NorthStar was the fastest and most reasonably priced (I received a quote that was almost twice as much from a competitor that we used previously, crazy!). We asked for a “not to exceed” quote which took all of 20 minutes. The actually move cost came in well under. We also took advantage of the Yelp $50 for $100 coupon. The movers showed up at the beginning of the time window and were professional, fast, and efficient. I highly recommend using NorthStar.
