I highly recommend NorthStar Moving.
I’ve moved more than a few times, local and across country, and I’ve never worked with a moving company that has been so customer-service focused and easy to work with. They were very upfront with all associated costs and the team of movers provided great service, including packing and protecting.
If you use NorthStar in the LA area, ask if Gilberto, Rafael and Juan are available. I’ll be requesting them for my next move!
Local Move
This was our 4th move with the company in as many years – and each time we have had an amazing experience. They are professional and organising the move was very easy. It was a painless process and that is a lot to be said for moving a 4 bedroom house. They always arrive on time, are extremely efficient and never damage anything !!! Price is always very competitive and we have recommended this company to many friends and they have all had the same experience. Give them a call – you won’t be disappointed !!!
Ron Cohen is the man! I moved from Los Angeles to Brooklyn, NY and it was the easiest move I’ve ever had–and incredibly affordable. The movers are great people and everything arrived on-time and perfectly intact. This company has no hidden fees and the billing is straight forward. I couldn’t recommend them more!
I labored long and hard and researched several different companies before deciding on North Star. Hopefully I can save you from having to do the same by letting you know that these guys are really great.
Booking the move was a snap and they were even able to accomodate a last minute schedule change.
My consultant Jason was very honest and helpful in suggesting ways that I could save money on my move by purchasing some supplies of my own.
On the day of the move the crew of three were friendly and fast. My move had two stops: my new apartment (boyfriend’s place) and storage. They were very gracious in accommodating a last minute decision to move some stuff out of my boyfriends to bring to storage.
The move cost exactly the amount that I had planned on spending and there were no hidden costs or surprises when it came time to pay.
I would definitely recommend North Star to any one in need and will certainly be calling on them when needed in the future!!
Paying for Northstar movers was money WELL spent. Ron Cohen came to my apartment and gave me a “not to exceed” rate based on the number of items I had. The movers showed up on time (actually a little earlier!) and were super professional througout the process. The pricing was exactly what Ron quoted and everything went smoothly the day of the move. I would highly recommend their services!
I have to agree with everyone who left four stars. Ron came a week before the move and gave us a quote to move from Glendale to Sherman Oaks. He even advised us on how to arrange to move as economical as possible. This quote was several times less than what we paid to move from Santa Barbara to Glendale (that company ripped us and gave me PMSD – Post Movers Stress Disorder).
Four men showed up the following Saturday on time. They worked quickly and hard – my mom has a lot of stuff and it took about three hours just to load the truck. It was a full days job.
They were all very professional and friendly. Ron contacted me several days later to check that everything went ok.
This company made a big difference for my mom, who is 85 and very high strung. I can’t say enough good things about them!
I moved from NoHo to WeHo 2 weeks ago and NorthStar helped me moving.
Jason is my contact person and he arranged my last minute request. Fast and easy. He even called 2 days after my moving and asked about my feedback!
On the moving day, NorthStar sent 5 people, again they rocked out with 5 PEOPLE to move my one-bedroom apartment. Imagine how fast it went. I was so happily shocked. It took them about 30 mins to clear out from my old apartment and about 15 mins to move my stuff in to my new place.
The moving team was led by Benjamin, he and his team(Juan, Martin, Jose and Oscar) are just purely awesome. Very efficient and handled my stuff very carefully.
You guys KICK ASS!!!
Worked with Ron Cohen to get everything set up before the move. On moving day, the guys were on-time and packed everything quickly and efficiently. Everything was fantastic. I’m definitely using them again next time I move.
This is my first review on Yelp. Last time I moved I used Hollywood Movers, and it was one of the most distasteful experiences ever. They were slow, lazy, and they broke a ton of stuff. Northstar was the polar opposite. They explained the quote very clearly, then there was a follow-up call to go over everything about the move. The company called me that morning to tell me the guys were on their way. When the guys arrived, they were friendly and courteous and they listened. They went over the contract in detail.
Then they started moving and MAN, it was like I was being moved by the Tasmanian Devil, if said devil was super fast but also careful. They wrapped EVERYTHING in plastic and whenever they found a ding or a flaw, they called me over and showed it to me so they could confirm that there was already damage. They even found natural flaws in the wood of my dresser! They also took the bed apart, which I wasn’t expecting. I forced those poor guys to move all my stuff up a flight of stairs and down a labyrinthine hallway and they just freaking did it without a word. They took one extremely well-deserved break and at no time were they ever grouchy or annoyed. They asked me where to put everything and then asked me again when it was all in if it was all where I wanted it. They went over the contract with me AGAIN, and then I paid. It was reasonable. Not more than what I was expecting. And these guys worked their TAILS off. Only a superhero could have gotten it done faster. A few days later, I received a follow-up call from the company to ask how the move went.
I will always use Northstar. I was extremely impressed. For the record, the three Tasmanian devils were Agustin Guido, Jose Guido and Carlos Canizales. Simply awesome!!!
Extremely professional, friendly, and fast. I was moving from a twelve story apartment building in LA to Long Beach (on a Saturday), and we did everything in about 4 hours. The price came out to be less than what was estimated even. Would recommend them for any move.
