I have now used Northstar moving 3 times in the past 4 years and each time, I am never let down. It starts with the ease of contacting the office to set up an appointment. Within a couple hours, all the paperwork is completed and ready to go. The truck arrives on time with hard working people who are friendly, trustworthy, and fast. Eric in particular led his crew on an 8 hour day that could not have run smoother. I appreciate everyones hard work, positive attitude, and responsible work ethic which made a stressful moving day much easier. Thanks for everything. You guys deserve it!!
The thought of moving was incredibly stressful – have never used a moving company before..juut knew that I didn’t have the time or energy to do another move on my own! I considered a couple of companies and got a few estimates. I can say without a doubt, that my experience was beyond wonderful. Ron Cohen handled my initial survery and all the logistics of the move. He was professional, courteous, and an absolute privilege to work with…readily available by telephone or email, answered all my questions, provided superb excellent service, and overall a really great person! The three person crew that was sent over were kind, professional, extremely careful with all of my belongings, and SO NICE. I was incredibly impressed with my entire experience and I will definitely use them again! I highly recommend this company.
I have used NorthStar 3 times to move within California and was satisfied each time! They are very professional and courteous – not only as far as the actual movers are concerned – but also everyone I spoke to over the phone to arrange and coordinate all the details. The also do a professional follow-up to assure everything went alright which reflects they care about their clients and are constantly looking to satisfy. I would highly recommend them to anyone of my friends! I also had the distinct pleasure of working with Lynn Ben-Shimon who was the one I spoke to on the phone (and several times after) to set up the dates/details for all my moves! She is extremely courteous, professional, and likeable and made what is usually a stressful experience (MOVING) seem like a walk in the park!
I needed to move from a Brentwood apartment (Barrington Plaza) to a Pacific Palisades house. I am a very busy individual, and needed the moving company to take care of packing and uppacking as well. Northstar service was as good as it gets. For serservation, I called and I told them the apartment size, and they told me that I needed a 3 men crew and 1 truck at the rate of $115.00 per hour. The packing material would be extra unles I supplied them. I had them do it as the prices were reasonable. On the move day, the movers arrived 30 minutes earlier than originally planned and asked if I want them to start earlier, or to wait to start on the hour. Of course, I asked them to start right away. They started packing at 9:30am and by 1:00pm everything was in their truck! I was working on my laptop the whole time! After lunch, we got to Pacific Palisades at 2pm. They started unpacking, and only asked me where everything should go to. By 4:30pm, everything was unpacked and placed in appropriate places (even the frames!). All the staff were super professional and worked very hard and efficiently. Nothing was damaged during the move. This was the most pleasant move that one could ask for! Thank you NorthStar!
This is the 2nd time my husband and I have used NorthStar moving, and if we move again, it won’t be the last. After getting estimates from 3 moving companies, NorthStar moving’s prices were not only competitive, but they offered 30 days free storage if we needed it (the other moving companies charged for storage). Our most recent move was from the Los Angeles area to the Bay Area. Ron Cohen managed our move and we couldn’t be happier. He was very professional, flexible, and followed up with us all along the way to ensure our moving needs were taken care of. The movers themselves were on-time, professional, and best of all, they wrapped and transported all of our household items so well that nothing was damaged! After all of our items were unpacked, we had a sea of empty boxes laying around. I called to request NorthStar pick them up and they came the same day I called and hauled them all away. Impressive! I would use NorthStar moving again in a heart beat. Moving is such a stressful time but NorthStar really helps to reduce the stress – thanks for a great moving experience!
We just used them to move from West Los Angeles to Sacramento, and they did a great job. I was shocked that nothing was broken or damaged. The movers were quick, nice, and professional, and the cost ended up being less than the estimated cost from Ron.
Our cross-country move was somewhat complicated–we had to change dates at the last minute, access to the apartment was difficult on the pickup and delivery ends, and it was excessively hot and humid on both ends–and NorthStar and its affiliates were flexible and professional the whole time. Everything arrived with minimal damage, the movers themselves were polite and efficient, we witnessed some epic maneuvering of very large trucks in very tight places. Given the complexity of the job, the cost was very reasonable, and the company stuck to the quote that we were given up front. Moving is never easy, especially moving long distance, and we’re glad we went with this company; we’d call them again if we ever have to repeat this process. Show owner comment »
After seeing so many great Yelp reviews for NorthStar Moving, my husband and I decided to hire them to move us from the Westside to downtown LA.  Our move had the potential to be a bit tricky as it involved moving a lot of stuff up and down lots of stairs (in both the house we moved from and to the loft we moved to), through long, narrow, twisty hallways, and relying on a temperamental elevator.    

NorthStar was very professional and reliable throughout the whole process.  Prior to the move, we were provided an estimate of the amount that the moving costs would not surpass, and were told that if the movers finished more quickly, it would be cheaper for us.  The day before the move, we received a confirmation email/call.  The day of the move, 6 movers arrived at 7:30 am.  They were everything that you would ever want in great movers – fast, friendly, courteous, efficient, and hard working.  We were especially impressed by how well-organized and coordinated they were (which made the move go much more quickly than expected).  And they mentioned that they worked well together because they communicated well with each other.  By 2:30 or 3 pm all our stuff had been successfully moved to our new place and the bill came in well below the estimate/quote.  

This was one of the smoothest and most pain-free moves we’ve ever had.  NorthStar definitely deserves every one of the five stars.  We will definitely use them again for our next move.
Moving is such a stressful experience, and if you want to make your life easier, get the right movers. Emphasis on “the right.” I think we’ve all heard or experienced horror stories about movers– your stuff is junk to them and they know you’ve got no other choice than to let them do their thing on the big day, so usually they don’t give a crap. Almost always there’s a broken item, and usually it’s the one you’re most attached to! Murphy’s law! NorthStar Moving, however, prides itself on positive feedback. Really! I’ve had Ron, my moving “consultant,” gently nudge me once or twice because I promised him a good review because I was so happy with them and didn’t follow through. Are you still stuck on “moving consultant?” Allow me to explain… When you call NorthStar to inquire about your move they offer to have someone come to your place, assess your situation, and give you a quote and a game plan– all free of charge and free of commitment. So, I was lucky enough to get Ron. He came over, took a look around, asked a few questions, and told us to go to the movies. Yes, he did. My boyfriend and I were already feeling overwhelmed with how much packing we thought we had to do, and he reassured us that it wasn’t so bad, to do 2 boxes a day and we’d be fine. “Really? Just 2 boxes a day until our move? But what about wrappi…” “We’ll take care of that?” Ron would respond. “But what about….” “We’ll handle that too.” “So you mean we don’t have to empty the…” “Nope, we’ll do that. You should go see that movie you want to see.” Wow, my moving experience just got a whole lot less stressful, and we hadn’t even started yet. Then, Ron gave us a quote which he explained in detail. He gave a us a worse case scenario quote, included all of the fees (driving, wrapping, etc.) and let me tell you, it was so reasonable! And he told me about this coupon on yelp to save us $50. He assured us that even if the move took longer, or something unexpected came up, the price he gave us was the max. That felt incredible. I absolutely despise when companies tack on fees in the end that end up costing you a ton more than you were expecting. Not NorthStar! And then there’s the movers– Adolfo’s team was awesome. So respectful, relaxed, and CAREFUL! Although they were quick as lightning, I mean they’re professionals, so why was I surprised, they wrapped everything thoroughly and carefully. Nothing was broken– and we have delicate items (not because they’re expensive but because they’re from IKEA). Not even the wobbliest piece of wood board was cracked. My boyfriend and I were thoroughly impressed. There wasn’t one hitch on our moving day, and it wasn’t a penny over what Ron said. We’re moved in with all of our belongings in perfect condition. Will definitely use NorthStar again! Happy Moving.
Thank you so much for packing me and moving me so quickly and efficiently! I didn’t have to lift a finger, and the prices were absolutely unbeatable!!!
