I don’t usually write comments but after the service I received from Northstar Moving it was a must. Northstar and especially Gadi were and absolute pleasure to work with. They showed up on time and were very professional and attentive to detail. When Gadi and his crew arrived they immediately went to work on moving our belongings. At the same time they took care of our personal belongings as if it was their own. If you are moving and need reliable movers this is the only place you will need to call. I thought that it would take hours to move our apartment. I was amazed on how fast they got everything to their moving truck and on the way to our new apartment. Once they got to our new apartment they were very kind and asked where we wanted everything to be placed. This was the easiest move I have ever had to do. Well thanks to Gadi that is. If I ever move again I know exactly who to call and get the job done right.
Thank you for all your help.

Damn moving sucks. Moving sucks even more in the rain. Yes I picked the worst day of the YEAR to move, just my luck. But I’m so happy it’s over, and I have to give props to the young, tres amigos from this moving company, as well as Samantha from the management office. Professional, courteous, respectful, speedy, helpful, etc. they were great and I can’t think of how it could have been any better.
Tip: mention yelp and get 5% off. pay cash and save an additional 3%.
These guys were fantastic! Professional, courteous, and reasonably priced. Showed up early and got done faster than I anticpated. Thank you yelpers for recommending!
I’ve called several moving companies and considered many other shipping options but Northstar was the best for my cross country move (Los Angeles to Suburbs of Philly, PA). The customer service was most patient and sincere (John S.) was awesome and very reassuring even with my many questions and concerns.
The movers came on time as they promised and everything was very quick…they estimated the weight 800 lbs+ but was happy to see that it was much less and came out to what I had expected. The delivery was shockingly quick and came as the driver as promised-exactly on time! And 6 total days for a cross country move is amazing! Only thing that I wished was improved upon is handling boxes marked “fragile” with more care…other than that – everything was perfect.
After having just moved 9 months earlier with a ‘cheapie’ moving company that cost me a lot of stress, I found North Star on YELP! yeah.
Jason in the office took my info and followed up 2 days before the move. They fit me in for a morning move which was great and the crew arrived right on time Sunday morning 8:15 am with 3 men. Clean and courteous. Eliseo was the forman and kept things moving, and the 2 Julios, driver and crew members.
It was a holiday weekend so timing was tight but I’m glad I used North Star and will definitely use them again. However I do not plan on moving again any time soon!!!
The also gave a 5% discount when you mention you found them on YELP. every bit helps!
(NorthStar ref #411313
After using NorthStar for the first time on 10/30/10, I did not hesitate to use them again – believe it or not – 2 weeks later.
(See my first review for NorthStar dated 11/3/10)
11 days after my daughter was in her new place, (a condo she was renting), an overhead pipe burst, spraying hot water, for an hour, into, and flooding her unit with a couple inches of water. (Long story short: someone who should not have been doing repairs on her central air – who was hired by the owner – screwed up and hit a pipe which had been poorly repaired previously) Anyway….she had to move, again. And unfortunately, she lost some of her belongings, lots of books, some wooden furniture, a couple of floor mats that floated away…..
She found an apartment available “immediately” nearby, I flew out, from Chicago to LA, again. We were able to get her packed up, moved and unpacked in 4 days.
I called Jason at NorthStar on Mon. 11/ 15 told him briefly what happened, and scheduled a move for Wed. 11/17. We were all set.
Then Tuesday, I emailed him, and asked him if there was anyway, or anyone who could find it in their heart, to give me some sort of discount since I had just used them, and I had the unexpected expense of flying back out to LA for move #2. Jason was able to plead my case to his manager, and reduce the hourly rate. So thank you to Jason, and your manager. I appreciated that.
Also, once again, I want to say thanks to Jesus Mezal, and his crew, Benjamin and Ozzy. I had the pleasure of having Jesus and Ozzy for the first move. Let me tell you, when I saw that they had sent Jesus for this move, I had to laugh. but I was also thrilled because I knew this move would be just as efficient as the first. As stressful as this move was, it helped to have Jesus there running the show, again, with a smile on his face the entire time.
Thank you to everyone who helped us through this tough time!
Moving is a pain, trust me. But North star really helped us at every step. I moved from LA to Charlotte,NC. There were other movers who would move for cheaper price but North star was worth every penny infact more. It was Peaceful and simple. Customer support was great. The way Kat Alexander and Gil Ben Haroch helped us, it was pretty impressive. As this was my first move, I was tensed and nervous, but these two guys helped us so much. Thanks Guys, you rock.
Used Northstar today. Movers were on time, friendly, respectful, willing to do whatever I needed to get the job done. Daffnis and his crew were great. I highly recommend Northstar to anyone looking for a reliable moving company.
I called a few places before calling North Star, and the people where mean and really didn’t want to help. Once I called North Star, they where great. If you get a change Kat Alexander at the moving company, was great, helped me out with everything. I really didn’t know what I was doing but she was there to help me out. Then I needed to change the date and Jason Orosco took care of me in a min. Great work team. Then on moving day the guys came and packed it up so quickly. They where amazing, I know I couldn’t of done it with out them. Once we got to are new place they starting unloading the truck, and putting the beds together and helping me placing everything where it should be. I had no problem unpacking our stuff. I am telling all of my friends and family about North Star, great team, great work, and great company all around.
Thank you guys so much, Hats off to you guys…..

I moved two times in the past five months, and Northstar has made both moves go much more smoothly than I expected. We were dealing with the contents of a (very full) three-bedroom home and LOTS of kids’ toys and junk. The moving crew arrived on-time and were very courteous and professional. They scooped up everything (neatly, of course), packed them on the truck, and unloaded at the destination without missing a beat.
Everyone that I met or spoke to– from the first phone call, to the person who came to our home to give an estimate, to the movers– was very pleasant and helpful.
Although I didn’t do much comparison shopping, I think the pricing is competitive. Someone came out to our home to give a not-to-exceed price. I had another moving company come out to give an estimate the next day, and they quoted me a higher price than Northstar (and it wasn’t a not-to-exceed, which means it could have been even higher after the actual move)! Naturally, I went with Northstar.
For both moves, they finished the jobs in shorter time than estimated!
If friends and family asked me for moving company recommendations, I would tell them Northstar.
