Review by Johnny W.

With my history of moving every two years, I can’t say I’m a stranger to the whole ordeal of finding a quality moving company – that said, this was my first local move in over six years, with long-distance moves being a slightly different beast altogether. After comparing several of the top-rated places on Yelp, timelines, pricing, and services resulted in me choosing NorthStar (the Yelp Deal was definitely a big plus as well). 

Scheduling was painless, and communication was on point throughout the entire process. The three guys dispatched to handle my move not only showed up on time, they even got there about 15 minutes ahead of schedule, and patiently ran through the lengthy checklist that my previous building had for moves.

With the majority of my stuff already packed up in boxes, the move itself was fairly painless: they disassembled my furniture, wrapped everything up in the plastic wrap I’d purchased off Amazon (pro tip: buy your own moving supplies – plastic wrap and tape is a LOT cheaper when you get it yourself), while padding things like glass shelves and TVs as necessary (using extra cardboard boxes I scavenged from our recycling room), and helped put all my other clothes and miscellaneous items into the wardrobe boxes they provided as part of the move.

Zip forward three hours from when they show up, and all my boxes had been unloaded, and all my furniture reassembled and put in place – apparently the fastest and cheapest one bedroom (well, half of a 1200 sq ft two bed two bath, technically) they’d ever done!

So, all in all, a quick, affordable, and stress-free move, with only one little mishap, all said and done (a slightly careless kick of a moving dolly left a small dent in one of my walls), with the final bill coming out to a little under $450 after the $60 for $150 Yelp Deal.
