I just moved long distance, from Los Angeles to Providence, RI (nearly as long distance as you can get within the US). As you might expect, I was extremely nervous about an undertaking of this magnitude.
Well, having hired NorthStar, I needn’t have worried. The entire moving process was flawless. Alan came out to my place to give me an estimate, which was extremely accurate. There was a bit of a hiccup with the movers arriving but Alan took complete control of the situation and made sure things came out the right way. The moving team was prompt, efficient, professional, polite, and pleasant.
On the Providence end, again, movers were prompt, professional, and courteous. Wendy also helped me and was thorough, thoughtful, and extremely helpful.
I would absolutely hire NorthStar again, in a heartbeat. They were outstanding and really took the stress out of one of the most stressful things one can undertake.

These guys are awesome!! They were right on time and booked it getting my whole house loaded up and unpacked. They didnt waste any time! They were super polite too. I had to leave to get to work and by the time I got home my whole house was set up. They took the time to roll out the rug in my living room and set up the couch and coffee table. They also put furniture pads on everything so the wood floors wouldnt get scratched up. Loved them!!!! 🙂
Northstar was awesome! Highly recommend them. They were responsive and reached out throughout the process, arrived promptly, finished quickly, and were upfront about costs. My team was Gerardo, Jose and Rene, and they were awesome. Only downside is that I didn’t know whether to tip and didn’t have cash on hand at the time – not sure if this was included or not! Highly recommend and will use again.
The Yelp Discount is fantastic.
I was told my movers would show up between 8am and 11am, they gave me a call at 7:30am and told me they were on their way and they arrived by 7:45am. Fantastic. The three men who helped me move did all the necessary work swiftly and carefully. They were also extremely friendly to talk to.
NorthStar also checked in at every step of the process to make sure the move went smoothly. It is easy to find a moving company in SF – tough to find a good one. This is a good one.
The only downside for me personally was that I live alone and having 3 movers may have been excessive for me (they have a minimum of 3 movers help you). The cost, however, was still comparable to a smaller moving company with fewer men, so it wasn’t like I had to pay for frivolous services.
**Note** have some cash on hand to tip your movers! They won’t bring it up at all that you can tip them, but you can and they work hard. I wish I had realized that and had more cash at the ready (downside of an all plastic payment lifestyle).

Great experience here, def. took the time to care my furniture. Pricing fits what you get.
If you want a worry-free move with competent and friendly people who treat you like a rock star, call NorthStar!!
Everyone at this company, from the time I first inquired about prices, to booking the move, to the last box being unpacked, was friendly, professional and hard working; I highly and wholeheartedly recommend NorthStar Movers, they will take excellent care of you!
Ron Cohen came to our apartment, gave us an incredibly fair estimate, booked our intrastate move and gave us a great deal! We were expecting to see our stuff again in about 5 days or so, but to our overwhelming surprise, it was at our new door the next day! A bit of good luck with the scheduling, to be sure, but nevertheless, we were very, very happy to get our move squared away so quickly! Impressive!
Thanks specifically to John Henry Wilson III, Tausila Luafutu, Ariel Ramirez and Miguel Ruiz on the actual move! Awesome job, guys!
They had everything covered, down to every last nut and bolt. We had almost everything packed ourselves, but they did pack up some lamps and all of our many glass components, desks, tables, etc., mostly flawlessly. They packed up all the loose ends fairly quickly and efficiently and were very attentive to our property in the truck (in our old, crappy downtown neighborhood!)
The foreman, John, was incredibly focused on every detail and was very inventive and vigilant. With no advance notice, he immediately devised a system to get our entire apartment moved in without messing up the white carpet on a rainy day! Great staff of guys, very friendly and funny on an otherwise stressful day.
Bottom line: If you’re looking for spectacular service and an easy, painless move, call NorthStar!

Very professional, fast and careful. Great job, would use again.
I have used NorthStar twice. Once in a long distance move from Los Angeles to San Francisco and once from San Francisco to Oakland. Both times Stefy was very useful in helping determine how much help I would need as well as what I could do to help out the movers. For my first move, the moving team was willing to work around my schedule, which meant moving me in to my new apartment at 11:00 PM in the rain. Both moves were fast and everything was delivered in perfect condition. The moving team moved all my furniture into the right place and made sure I knew exactly what was happening every step of the way. I will continue using NorthStar in the future as well as recommending them to all my friends.

I’m very impressed by NorthStar. This is the second time I’ve used them, and very solid experiences both times. The first move was almost 8 years ago and they were as good if not better than what I remembered. My team of three movers was on time. They moved swiftly and with care. They also were extremely polite and personable young men — an added bonus. A week later, my fiance was moving but we called NorthStar too late for them to fit us in for a move on a weekend day. We used a different company and it was such a different experience. While those men also were professional and got the job done, their pace was significantly slower. Thus, NorthStar also proved to be a good move economically. I’m a pretty fussy consumer, and these folks really proved themselves worthy of a strong review.
I had an amazing experience with NorthStar Movers. I had Ron Cohen, the relocation specialist come to my apartment to evaluate my items and how long it would take the movers and he did an excellent job. I highly recommend having someone come to your location and give you an idea of how long it will take so they can provide you with a flat rate. I had never moved this amount of stuff before and I was so nervous and unsure of what to expect. Ron was very patient, answered all my questions and was readily available throughout the week to answer any questions I had. Ask for Ron if you can, he relieved so much of my stress! And he gave me three of the best movers I could imagine. They were respectful of my items and very polite to me. I’m so glad I found them and will 100% use them again!
