33 minutes.
That’s how long it took for NorthStar’s 3 man crew to unload every damn thing I own from two moving crates, bring them up multiple flights of stairs, put them in designated areas of my apartment, assemble my bed, set up my TV, and have me sign all the appropriate paperwork.
33 MINUTES.
My whole life. Unfolding before my eyes in the same time it takes to watch an episode of The Bernie Mac show and go to the bathroom. It’s a little humbling, but a good sign considering my general hoarder tendencies.
An impressive feat it was, and it came at an even more impressive price thanks to a handy Yelp Deal they advertise where you pay $60 for $150 worth of service. Def get on that if you decide to go with NorthStar (and you should).
I was told there was a minimum amount of time that you pay for (2 hours, I think) and that 30 minutes of that time goes to account for their travel time to your place. In following those rules, I *should* have been charged more money (at least $120 more), but the super cool moving dudes didn’t see it that way (plus, I tipped them REALLY well), so they basically left it on a high note saying that the way things worked out, they should actually owe me money.
I guess not owning anything of value or quality finally came in handy since the nicest furniture I own is a cat tree followed by everything else made of particle board, which is pretty easy to move, if you’re a burly moving dude (apparently).
Setting up my move with Northstar (Lynn was my very helpful NorthStar agent) was easy peasy and I got lucky in being able to do it on less that 24-hours notice. The guys came right on time (like, they were supposed to arrive between 3:30 and 4:30 and they were there at 3:29) and were pros to every extent, including parking their MASSIVE truck on one the steepest hills I’ve ever seen. No joke, it was borderline jackknife situation.
The day after my move, Lynn from NorthStar called to make sure everything had gone well, and said my 3 moving men had asked her send some extra thanks my way for my generous tip, which was really nice to hear. I’d use NorthStar again in a heartbeat.

Excellent speedy and professional service – the guys turned up on time, packed quickly but without using too many materials and the unpack was also very fast. thanks Chase, Kenny and Saul!
Fantastic company, best moving experience EVER. Excellent service, good value. I’ll never move again without pro service.
Moved from Santa Clara to San Mateo and theses guys were pretty good getting everything to its destination in one piece. Had the crew of Nemer, Carlos, Rick and Rodolfo. And they were very professional. I also used green boxes so it made the move very quick and easy. Definitely recommend
Northstar Moving Company was a great move experience. Chase, Alex and Leor were all great. They worked very hard and made everything transition smoothly. Highly recommend their awesome services!
they were expeditious & super nice to work with.
Highly recommend these guys!! We received quotes from three major companies for our move from Los Angeles to Indiana. We chose NorthStar because they were honest and didn’t try to over sell themselves. They gave us a realistic time frame for all of the packing and the time required for shipping. For example, one of the moving companies we consulted said they could have our entire condo packed in four hours. Northstar said that packing would take 7-8 hours and indeed they were right! After our initial meeting with Ilan, we were ready for pick them even if their quote was higher (it ended up costing the same as Mayflower and North American Vans).
Our foreman was David L. and he had two helpers. As soon as they walked in, my husband and I were impressed by the professionalism and hard work. They made our move easier than we thought it would be. I will definitely be recommending them to my friends and family.

These guys are awesome!!! I will definitely have them move my stuff again next time. Easy and breezy, very polite!!
Northstar was super professional in contacting me a few days beforehand to make sure the move would go smoothly. I was expecting to wait around a bit after their stated arrival time, but they were on time with all the necessary equipment. They made sure to pack up everything neatly and with any instructions I had on fragile items.
I really enjoyed how quick and painless they made the move, and would definitely use Northstar again!
This company was great! Chase, Caesar and Maro did a great job and moved everything in a really timely manner. They were super careful moving my stuff and even cleaned up after!
