I just used NorthStar to move 1 bedroom apartments from Hollywood to Santa Monica; they did an absolutely outstanding job for a very reasonable price and I would recommend them to my own mother.
Kat from NorthStar called me within an hour of submitting a request for a quote online. Kat answered all my questions, was upfront about their rates and charges (which are very reasonable,), and genuinely seemed to care that I understood and was comfortable with the process. On very short notice Kat had a team and a truck together reserved for the same week for the day I wanted. Awesome.
The crew leader Jimmy called me the morning of the move to give me a better idea of when they would show up; very helpful.
Positives:
Very careful with furniture / things – they extensively wrap furniture with their own moving blankets (free); courteous and polite movers; GREAT attitude (no complaining about lugging up four flights of stairs, they were always smiling); carefully packed my barware and art (and didn’t force unnecessary bubble wrap etc. on me); just great guys.
Negatives:
NONE!
Kat called me again after the move to make sure everything went smoothly and that I was completely satisfied. Through the entire process, I felt that everyone from NorthStar cared that I was happy and that the job was done right. Use these movers
Local Move
This outfit is as good as it gets. They were very professional, organized, careful and honest. They try very hard to earn the customer’s confidence and it shows. I would recommend them without any hesitation.
My wife and I briefly entertained the idea of moving ourselves… We are glad we did not! After watching NorthStar move us in such a quick and efficient manor, we are glad that we had them do the job! Jose and his crew were excellent! Cannot recommend this group enough for their speed, efficiency, and care. We will use them again if we move.
I used North Star Moving for two moves during the month of September. Both were local moves, and both moves went perfectly. I was completely satisfied, and I am writing my first Yelp review to recommend North Star to others considering a move.
I hate moving. I have way too much stuff that I swear multiplied as it was packed. I have an eclectic combination of antique dressers, Ikea furniture, books, cooking gadgets, electronics, and shoes and, of course, knickknacks from every meaningful or insignificant event of my life. Oh, and three very spoiled cats. You put all that together, throw in a heat wave, add a new home that is only partially ready for move in, and even a move of six miles is a recipe for disaster.
Enter North Star to save the day. I found them while putting in magazine change of address notices on http://Moving.com. For a lark, I asked for moving quotes. I received one from North Star and one from another company with a horrible BBB rating. I started researching North Star, which led me to Yelp, and the positive reviews here encouraged me to give them a try. Oh, and let me just say I was not asked to write a review by anyone at North Star, nor did I receive any kind of a discount for finding them on Yelp, I guess cause I actually found them onhttp://Moving.com.
Victoria was the person that booked my moves. She was responsive, polite, and explained everything to me clearly. She was able to schedule both of my moves for the (weekend!) days I wanted with only a few days lead time. She made that process very easy for me.
Cesar was the person that notified me when to expect the movers. He called a couple of days before each move and then when they were on their way to let me know when to expect them. One of my moves was Saturday afternoon, the other was Sunday morning. He is also the person that made it possible that I had the same team of three movers for both moves.
That team consisted of Elias, Benancio and Ignacio. They were great. They worked a half day the first move, and a full day the second. Both moves involved loading the truck at the apartment, moving to the house and also moving items to a storage facility. The first day was hot; the second move day was record breaking HOT!
Neither move was a “take everything and go” kind of move, no, they were both “take this – leave that – that goes to storage – that goes to the house – that goes in the garage” kind of move. It was probably the worst kind of move for the guys doing the moving. And, they did this kind of moving while I moved three spoiled, stressed out cats from room to room, baiting them with treats, so they could be secured while the movers had the doors open!
The guys handled all the chaos easily. They were polite, good humored, and never once seemed frustrated or upset with anything. They had great attitudes! Their good nature calmed me.
They worked as a true team. Elias was the one that took apart and put together furniture. He also was the paperwork guy, complete with a credit card device in his bag for end of the day charges. Ignacio was the one that wrapped my furniture and TV’s with blankets and tape, just like in the video on their website. And Benancio amazed me with his strength: I’d say “that’s heavy” and he’d lift it with no trouble and add another box on top of it.
Actually, they were all strong and very hard workers. They had to be told to take a break, to drink some water. They just kept moving, looking for the next thing to do. But they worked SMART, too, not just hard. They used every inch of the truck to be sure everything got in it. They loaded up dollies at the storage space taller than they were to make the most of each elevator trip. They grabbed lunch on the way to the storage unit, and ate it while driving to maximize their working time.
Elias, Benancio and Ignacio worked very well together. Without a lot of discussion, they moved from task to task. It was all very seamless, and made what could’ve been a couple of nightmare moves, pretty easy and successful.
I don’t plan on moving again soon, maybe not EVER, but if you’re looking for movers to make your local move painless, I strongly suggest you call North Star Moving, and ask for Victoria. If you’re really lucky, maybe they’ll send Elias, Benancio and Ignacio.

I love these guys…I’ve used them several times and am never disappointed. They show up on time and are professional and careful with my stuff. What more could anyone ask for?
This is the third time I’ve used NS for a personal move and it was so easy and effortless. Not only were they on time, but they were early, and the whole move took about 4 hours. INCREDIBLE. I would never even think of using anyone else. I’ve also used them for production purposes and had the same experience. They treat everything you own as if it was gold. They are a nice, respectful, hard working, careful and trustworthy company, and if you want to know your move will be 100% taken care of, you have to use NorthStar!
Outstanding moving company, I couldn’t possibly ask for much better.
I was moving from Palmdale to Thousand Oaks, and they were extremely prompt and professional. They didn’t waste any time getting to my old place and moving, just so they could add money on to the cost of the move. They turned a very stressful experience into a comforting one, and gave me peace of mind that my things would make it to my new residence all in one piece. If you’re looking for a courteous, professional mover, look no further than NorthStar. Not enough good can be said about them.
Also, mention that you found them on yelp. I got a 10% off coupon for the move, and all I had to do was say that I found them here. The salesman that I spoke with actually called me back to ask where I heard of them so that I could get this discount. You won’t regret choosing them.

These guys were great!! We moved on probably the hottest day of the year this summer and they busted their behinds to get it done quickly yet carefully. The guys arrived on time, were very pleasant, worked very hard, and completed the job several hundred dollars below my “will not exceed price” that was quoted. It was a major job with 4 guys and 2 trucks and everything went smooth. I would not hesitate to call them again if/when I move again…great job guys, THANKS!

I hired North Star to move my 4 bedroom house from Redondo to Newprt. I have a lot of heavy stuff and stairs so I requested 5 guys and two 26ft trucks. Joel (the foreman) and his team did an AMAZING job!!! These guys showed up at 7:30am and did not slow down until the work was finished. They worked so hard and so fast that they beat the “not to exceed price” by $400 and still showed extreme care with my stuff. All the guys were friendly and curtious and I could not have been more pleased. Ilan came to my house for the estimate and he was great to work with as well. I got 4 quotes before settling on North Star and Ilan was patient and flexible with me. All promises he made regarding price, time, etc were exceeded on moving day. I have to say one more time that the service performed was beyond my expectations and I was charged $400 less than what I agreed to with the initial quote! These guys are legit and there is no way I would even look at another company for my next move.
