How did we turn a potential nightmare move into literally the best moving experience we have ever had? Hired North Star. Yeah I know, it sounds like a cheesy ad but it’s the truth and my wife and I have moved 7 times in total over the years.
Here’s how this North Star crew earned a $100 tip and lunch from us at the end of the day.
We chose to move on Friday FEB 28th and of course that would be one of the rainiest days in recent L.A. history ( according the the weather dude in LA it rained more on our move day than the total for the previous 18 months combined). So the nerves and stress were off the charts that morning….until Agustine and his crew showed up and started hustling like a NASCAR pit crew, wrapping, prepping and moving stuff.
These guys were pros!
They wrapped the furniture with plastic, covered by pads, covered by plastic again and only moved items between breaks of any rain (kept our stuff bone dry al day).
They also had an elevator move on both ends of the move and a LONG walk at the destination point but never complained, and actually worked faster on the destination to meet the time I was given in the estimate.
This is THE 1ST TIME EVER I did a move and did not have hidden costs or workers slacking at the end to increase the fee and it was appreciated.
Great service. Great staff and the guy named Ron Cohen that came out to do the estimate stayed in touch with me early that day and THROUGHOUT the day, another first. In the past these sales guys get a deal signed and disappear but Ron was the opposite, contacted me three time throughout the day until the move was complete.
These guys were a class act. I can definitely vouch for Agustine and his crew of Saul and Oscar….plus they had swag with their matching shirts and digs.
If there were 6 stars I would’ve handed that out without hesitation. Highly recommend these guys. And if you’re reading this North Star….thank you.
Testimonials
I had a move with North Star today and I was super impressed — fast, reliable and on time. Francisco, Jose and Javier moved like a machine — no wasted time and no wasted $$$! I would use them again in a heartbeat!
Used North Star Moving Company this last week for my move from LA to SF and it was great. A rep visited the apartment 1st to see what I was
moving and gave me an estimate. I was moving my bedroom, kitchen table, some chairs, side tables and 15 boxes and it ended up being around
$1,000. The movers showed up on time and worked quickly. They provided wardrobe boxes and had all of the packing materials to protect all the furniture
(quilts, shrink wrap etc). I was very impressed with how much care they put into wrap the furniture, I really appreciated.
The only cavaot is that the movers have a 1-7 business day arrival period. I understand why, but I just wished I had more concert of an idea
of the arrival. My stuff ended up coming in 4 days and they called about an hour before arrival. These movers also worked quickly.
All together, everyone I interacted with was nice, accommodating and very professional. I would use them again in the future.
Second experience with them and it was a solid moving experience considering that I hate moving. Juan Zepeda, Eliseo Figueroa and Jairo Gomez did a great job! Each of them was very courteous and professional. I would use these guys again to move in a heartbeat.
There were 3 guys and they were incredibly efficient. We had roughly 30 boxes and furniture as part of a 900 square foot apartment.
They moved our boxes in about 45 minutes and then took about another hour to do the rest. They then drove 45 minutes to our place and unpacked everything.
All told we paid $640 for 5 hours including the coupon we got on Yelp. These guys were great.
There were a couple of shelving units that they took apart that now don’t work totally so we have to find a part to keep the shelving upright but otherwise everything was in good order.
The move was great – very smooth and the 3 guys were amazing! so helpful and even put my bed and dining table together!
It was all done in super quick time too!
I’ll always be using North Star from now on, just wished I’d known about them before 😉
Moving is incredibly stressful. Northstar made my move easy and worry free.
The team was very efficient and fast and wrapped all of my expensive furniture so well, in order to avoid any damage.
I am very happy with Northstar and would recommend them to everyone!
Jason, Rene, and Rodolfo did an amazing job!
Highly recommended.
Everything was great. Thank You! The guys were quick and efficient. They showed up on time and busted out the job in a timely manner. The ’24 truck beat me to the moving location. Good drivers and nothing was damaged. Highly recommend this company.
The office is extremely professional and responsive and the movers are quick, efficient and also very professional. I was the most annoying customer, I kept adding and removing items after my initial quote to bring down the cost and Gil, my relocation specialist, was always very responsive and understanding.
On moving day they provide a window for when the movers might arrive– 8:30-10:30, the movers arrived at exactly at 8:30AM. They were extremely thorough, careful and fast! They have a system to track your things to make sure you get all your belongings and my things arrived within the estimated time frame. Of all the many things that I moved I only had two minor damages, cracks in my dresser and standing fan. The claims process was easy peasy and very fair. Monica was on top of it and very pleasant to work with. I can’t say enough about their customer service.
Moving is stressful enough. If you want peace of mind and a pleasant moving experience — hire Northstar. I would recommend them to anyone.
Our closing date moved up and we were scrambling for a moving company. Friends had used NorthStar for their move 4 years ago and recommended we give them a call. We couldn’t have been happier – from the first call with Beatriz, who answered all our questions/concerns and was able to schedule us on the date we needed, to the actual move with Francisco, Isak and Gerson, who arrived on time and treated our furniture and belongings with care and respect. With their patience and professionalism we were moved across town and into our new place with only a half hour of OT…and I thought it would take a lot longer! We will be happy to use them again and recommend them to everyone we know!
The team from NorthStar was on time, quick, and polite. They moved me out of a 2BR and into another 2BR across town in a morning. So, so much better than trying to do it yourself (especially with the Yelp deal
Jason, Rene and Rodolfo(?) were our movers a couple of weeks ago in Oakland. Jason was professional, efficient and fast. They did the best job and were really a pleasure to work with from the time that they called to say they were on their way through departure from our drop off point. We will definitely be asking for them (by name) to help us on our next move! Even our scheduling point of contact based in LA, Jessica, was so nice and very helpful. I couldn’t believe the level of service and prompt turnaround time given my last minute request for movers. Price was also totally reasonable and less than I’d expected (and was willing) to pay. Thank you!
I will say I was a little worried at first when 3 small dudes showed up at my house this morning but they got started right away without trouble.
I had to stop at my storage unit before the final destination and since it was so close (only two blocks away) they waived the drive time.
Overall my move was quick and painless – 4 hours from downtown to weho and they even put my bed together. I used my Yelp coupon and got a great deal. I would definitely use them again!
I was given an 8:00am – 10:00am arrival window and the Northstar Truck arrived at 8am on the dot. The team of moves assigned to me (Francisco, Luis and David) were thoroughly professional and conscientious. They securely loaded the contents of what was equivalent to a 2 bedroom townhouse in exactly 50 minutes!
The entire job from start to unloading everything at my new place, took only 2 hours 45 minutes, much faster than many similar moves I’ve made in the past with other companies.
They worked hard, quick and were at all times very careful with my stuff.
Stefy followed up with me the next day, completing the customer service trifecta, earning my utmost confidence and highest possible rating.
Thanks Northstar!!!

The movers on both ends did a great job and were careful with our furniture. We had another move prior to this one and I was
much happier with Northstar and will definitely use them when we move again to our new house.
