I’ve never really hired movers before, but I feel that it’d be tough to find a better one than NorthStar Movers. I had intended on using them to move my things from one city to another three or so years ago, but never had the opportunity to. But now that I was moving between STATES, I felt like it was a good time as ever to call.
The friendly agent on the phone mentioned that they had to schedule an estimator to come to my place to assess how much the entire move was going to be, so we settled on a date and had them come in. The estimator was a cool guy, very patient with every question me and my girlfriend had, and gave us as much information as he can even AFTER he had left after several communications via email.
Then, the actual move came. The company asks you to have half of your estimated fee for the movers and they almost arrived earlier than I had anticipated – which was not a bad thing! At the time, I needed to begin my 15 or so hour drive to become a future Northwesterner and ensuring that all my things packed were something I was certainly going to be very important to me that day. As it turned out, the lowest estimate of 4 hours (for packing and moving my stuff out of the apartment) was super accurate and they were in and out of there by lunch time.
Now, I should add that they estimate 2 days to 2 weeks, depending on how much freight they can group together and get to the same place and, on that note, I got the full 2 weeks. They, however, contacted me 24 hours prior to their drop off (as stated plenty of times during this process by a few people) and the following day, my things arrived in good condition with nothing missing! I had read a few people’s concerns, including a colleague of mine who used them to move as well, but all my things were completely intact.
Simply put, the entire experience was really smooth and fast and I’d recommend them to anyone doing long distance moves – or even short ones, at that!

Nelson and his crew were amazing!! They packed up our entire apartment much faster than I expected and with great care. They were on time and very organized. They made our move very easy and much less stressful! Thank you Nelson!!
Guys were the best. Super fast and efficient. Chris, CJ, and Dante were awesome. They did everything I asked and more and brought a bunch of things I happened to need. Thanks so mix guys.
Luis R., George M, and Lecca were a great help today during my sudden move. There were on time and very professional with the care of my belongings. I plan on using Northstar again for my moving and storage needs.
Great experience. Arrived on time and were very helpful considering we were not completely packed. They were very detailed in their inventory. Friendly and polite. All the antiques were wrapped well. Currently the load is in transit across the country and I feel good about it. Thanks.
Luis R, Hector B, Hector G handled my furniture and I have to say, they got the job very fast. Within two and a half hours, they cleared my one bedroom apartment. I highly recommend this moving company for those who seek a comfortable moving experience.
The crew made the tough job of moving so much less painful. The guys were cheerful and helpful all day long. Worked steadily and tirelessly until the job was done. Very happy with my experience with north star!!
Fred and his awesome team of movers! These guys went above and beyond to make this move a pleasurable experience!! They worked hard and stay dedicated to making sure they moved in a swift and timely manner. We’re moving again in about 11 months and we’ll be hiring this company again. I’ll be requesting Fred and his crew to help us with the our move. If you’re debating between two moving companies stop the debate and call Northstar!
Today, I moved and chose to use Northstar again! With the help of Jose T, Gerardo T and Ramon R., we quickly packed up my old place, moved everything across town, and set up my new digs! There team was great; super helpful, fast, and no damage to any of my belongings. Thanks guys!
