I used NorthStar for a move from Los Angeles to Menlo Park. I had to plan it in just a few days. Ted gave me a quote and helped me with scheduling. Three days after speaking with Ted, the movers came to my house and then my storage unit. The were fast, friendly, and professional. And, I felt like my furniture was in good hands. Everything arrived the next week and was in great condition. I even had to reschedule the drop-off because of work, and NorthStar was completely flexible. As an added bonus, the price I ended up paying was significantly less than the quote Ted gave me which was already more reasonable than any other companies I spoke to. I HIGHLY recommend!

This outfit is as good as it gets. They were very professional, organized, careful and honest. They try very hard to earn the customer’s confidence and it shows. I would recommend them without any hesitation.
My wife and I briefly entertained the idea of moving ourselves… We are glad we did not! After watching NorthStar move us in such a quick and efficient manor, we are glad that we had them do the job! Jose and his crew were excellent! Cannot recommend this group enough for their speed, efficiency, and care. We will use them again if we move.
Years ago, I worked for the Bekins Company, so I am a bit familiar with the business side of a moving company. After receiving several bids, I selected NorthStar, and I must say that I was 100% satisfied with their quality. My move entailed NorthStar employees packing up my 5 bedroom house, placing it in storage for a year, then delivering it to my new home in the desert. Given that I personally unpacked everything they packed, I can attest to the care that was given to my property. Not one piece of furniture was damaged, and out of several hundred glass and ceramic pieces, only one was broken. It was amazing. All pictures and mirrors came through the move unscathed, clothing in the wardrobe boxes remained hanging and were not even dusty after 12 months of storage.
If you are looking for a great mover with exceptionally competitive pricing with a wonderful staff of packers, loaders and unloaders, I highly recommend NorthStar.

I used North Star Moving for two moves during the month of September. Both were local moves, and both moves went perfectly. I was completely satisfied, and I am writing my first Yelp review to recommend North Star to others considering a move.
I hate moving. I have way too much stuff that I swear multiplied as it was packed. I have an eclectic combination of antique dressers, Ikea furniture, books, cooking gadgets, electronics, and shoes and, of course, knickknacks from every meaningful or insignificant event of my life. Oh, and three very spoiled cats. You put all that together, throw in a heat wave, add a new home that is only partially ready for move in, and even a move of six miles is a recipe for disaster.
Enter North Star to save the day. I found them while putting in magazine change of address notices on http://Moving.com. For a lark, I asked for moving quotes. I received one from North Star and one from another company with a horrible BBB rating. I started researching North Star, which led me to Yelp, and the positive reviews here encouraged me to give them a try. Oh, and let me just say I was not asked to write a review by anyone at North Star, nor did I receive any kind of a discount for finding them on Yelp, I guess cause I actually found them onhttp://Moving.com.
Victoria was the person that booked my moves. She was responsive, polite, and explained everything to me clearly. She was able to schedule both of my moves for the (weekend!) days I wanted with only a few days lead time. She made that process very easy for me.
Cesar was the person that notified me when to expect the movers. He called a couple of days before each move and then when they were on their way to let me know when to expect them. One of my moves was Saturday afternoon, the other was Sunday morning. He is also the person that made it possible that I had the same team of three movers for both moves.
That team consisted of Elias, Benancio and Ignacio. They were great. They worked a half day the first move, and a full day the second. Both moves involved loading the truck at the apartment, moving to the house and also moving items to a storage facility. The first day was hot; the second move day was record breaking HOT!
Neither move was a “take everything and go” kind of move, no, they were both “take this – leave that – that goes to storage – that goes to the house – that goes in the garage” kind of move. It was probably the worst kind of move for the guys doing the moving. And, they did this kind of moving while I moved three spoiled, stressed out cats from room to room, baiting them with treats, so they could be secured while the movers had the doors open!
The guys handled all the chaos easily. They were polite, good humored, and never once seemed frustrated or upset with anything. They had great attitudes! Their good nature calmed me.
They worked as a true team. Elias was the one that took apart and put together furniture. He also was the paperwork guy, complete with a credit card device in his bag for end of the day charges. Ignacio was the one that wrapped my furniture and TV’s with blankets and tape, just like in the video on their website. And Benancio amazed me with his strength: I’d say “that’s heavy” and he’d lift it with no trouble and add another box on top of it.
Actually, they were all strong and very hard workers. They had to be told to take a break, to drink some water. They just kept moving, looking for the next thing to do. But they worked SMART, too, not just hard. They used every inch of the truck to be sure everything got in it. They loaded up dollies at the storage space taller than they were to make the most of each elevator trip. They grabbed lunch on the way to the storage unit, and ate it while driving to maximize their working time.
Elias, Benancio and Ignacio worked very well together. Without a lot of discussion, they moved from task to task. It was all very seamless, and made what could’ve been a couple of nightmare moves, pretty easy and successful.
I don’t plan on moving again soon, maybe not EVER, but if you’re looking for movers to make your local move painless, I strongly suggest you call North Star Moving, and ask for Victoria. If you’re really lucky, maybe they’ll send Elias, Benancio and Ignacio.

I love these guys…I’ve used them several times and am never disappointed. They show up on time and are professional and careful with my stuff. What more could anyone ask for?
This is the third time I’ve used NS for a personal move and it was so easy and effortless. Not only were they on time, but they were early, and the whole move took about 4 hours. INCREDIBLE. I would never even think of using anyone else. I’ve also used them for production purposes and had the same experience. They treat everything you own as if it was gold. They are a nice, respectful, hard working, careful and trustworthy company, and if you want to know your move will be 100% taken care of, you have to use NorthStar!
Outstanding moving company, I couldn’t possibly ask for much better.
I was moving from Palmdale to Thousand Oaks, and they were extremely prompt and professional. They didn’t waste any time getting to my old place and moving, just so they could add money on to the cost of the move. They turned a very stressful experience into a comforting one, and gave me peace of mind that my things would make it to my new residence all in one piece. If you’re looking for a courteous, professional mover, look no further than NorthStar. Not enough good can be said about them.
Also, mention that you found them on yelp. I got a 10% off coupon for the move, and all I had to do was say that I found them here. The salesman that I spoke with actually called me back to ask where I heard of them so that I could get this discount. You won’t regret choosing them.

These guys were great!! We moved on probably the hottest day of the year this summer and they busted their behinds to get it done quickly yet carefully. The guys arrived on time, were very pleasant, worked very hard, and completed the job several hundred dollars below my “will not exceed price” that was quoted. It was a major job with 4 guys and 2 trucks and everything went smooth. I would not hesitate to call them again if/when I move again…great job guys, THANKS!
