My move from Santa Monica to Marina Del Rey is the shortest one I’ve done in the past twenty years.  Still a move is a move and the only difference is the

time it takes for your things to arrive.  In this case it was 10 minutes.  I picked Northstare moving after reviewing 5 other companies. 

The initial enquiry was done very professionally,  they showed that they were interested in my business.  Ben came over to do the onsite estimate and provided

a not to exceed quote.  This too was professionally done and I got my quote within the same day

The moving crew was headed by Ran Ovadia and assisted by Anvel Lopez and Agustin.  They moved in a very coordinated fashion. 

The packing of the sofas, arm chairs, bed and other heavy furniture was done very quickly and I could tell that they would not be damaged during the move. 

It was all go from the get go,  they did not stop!  During the move in all items came and got unpacked in record time,  the best I’ve seen with all my moves. 

Well done to Ran and this team.  They are highly recommended

The four men crew that moved us from San Juan Cpistrano to Seal Beach were outstanding. Kevin, our foreman was the best. Erick, Tamir and Gabriel rocked.  They didn’t waste any time, they were on their feed, stacking our boxes in the truck, wrapping my furniture neatly with their blankets, packing up my books. They did a great job of loading the truck very carefully as to not waste any space, even my big garden planters fit on that truck along with my three bedroom house content. I was already mentally prepared to leave them behind… It was without doubt a job well done

Seeing a recent review of a moving company reminds me:  I will never, never pack and move myself again.  Ever.

I actually learned that lesson on a corporate relo, when my company moved me from Baltimore to Southern California in 2005.  But, Northstar Moving reinforced that notion when I moved last year from Huntington Beach to Costa Mesa.  Yeah – I know  – it was like 3 miles.  But I was living in a temporary place at the time, and that place was on the 2nd floor, and involved 5 flights of stairs.  And, like any good East Coast girl, I have a lot of heavy crap including a full dining room set with china closet and place settings for 12.  Did I want to pack and move that crap to my new house in Costa Mesa?  No way.

Luckily – I found these guys.  They showed up on time, with a crew of 5 guys, and packed, wrapped and moved everything out of my second floor walkup in less than 3 hours.  The whole move, including a stop for lunch, was less than 5 hours, and everything was wrapped carefully, unwrapped and reassembled.  No damage to TVs, crystal, china, or anything else.  Not even a scratch.  

Best yet?  They came in under their original estimate.  And that includes a boatload of boxes from them, because they packed a lot more of my stuff than I originally planned.

So, a little late review since this was in November of 2007, but still – I’d use these guys again in a heartbeat.

Totally awesome – we have a lot of stuff, including a lot of furniture, and Northstar’s three man crew handled it all quickly and carefully. We moved from a second floor apartment to a house, and I was really surprised at how deftly they moved everything out, including disassembling furniture when required (and reassembling at the new place).

I had a quote from Flat Rate that left out a lot of the stuff North Star ended up moving, and North Star’s total ended up coming in below the Flat Rate quote. It’s the only time I’ve used movers, and I’d happily use them again in a second.

Courteous, careful and friendly movers. We had a good experience with them.
