Review by Michael S.

Moving is never fun. Never. The stress of packing, trashing, and unpacking is tough enough and I learned a long time ago it is much, much easier to find someone professional to take care of the literal moving part. This past weekend, as I moved to a new place, the question wasn’t should I hire a moving company. The question was which one. A neighbor recommended Northstar and after a few phone calls it was clear this was the moving company to trust with our move. Jason & Wendy in the office were both professional and understanding throughout the process. I was late in getting things squared away and they were literally able to make my move work the very next day. We contracted for a team of 3 movers and a truck at $115/hour with a 3-hour minimum. We lucked into having a team of 4 arrive right on schedule. They skillfully parked their larger-than-expected truck and went right to work. We had packed most of our small items in boxes, but left all the big things for them. They wrapped up each piece to make sure it was transported safely and even took care of taking apart large things (like the bed). 4 1/2 hours later, we were in our new place with the large items put back together and the crew was on their way after a healthy tip. Note that if you pay cash there is a 3% discount. One broken glass. That was the only damage we incurred. And even that glass was from the set we didn’t use anymore and was caused by the way I had packed the box more than the moving. If every move I have in the future only ends in only one broken glass, I’ll be a very happy camper. Besides, isn’t breaking a glass considered good luck in some cultures? Northstar Moving earns a rare 5-star review the old-fashioned way… by earning it. There is no doubt in my mind which company I’ll be calling the next time I move.
