We chose North Star based on their Yelp ratings and reviews, and we then had a great moving experience with them.  Our team (Ariel, Jadiel, Isaack M, and Javier) were all professional, and we had a zero-damage move.  They arrived on time, and we got the move done several hours faster than estimated, so it came in approximately $500 under the estimate.  Everyone I interacted with at North Star was professional, from the original phone receptionist, to the estimator, and to the movers themselves. I’d highly recommend them for Los Angeles moves.
NO REGRETS WITH NORTH STAR.  

I decided to call NorthStar after getting a recommendation from a friend/colleague who has ONLY ever used NorthStar for his multiple moves, and who assured me these guys are the best.  

Alex Ramirez arrived at my place for the estimate and was ever-so professional, efficient and assured me my furniture would arrive in Los Angeles (from San Jose) promptly and 100% in-tact, no questions asked.  And, perhaps, most importantly, the estimated price was very reasonable.  

Sure enough, come moving day, the crew of 4, lead by Nemer, was careful with my valuables, extremely thorough and packed and loaded quickly.    

Three days later, my load arrived at my new home in Los Angeles and Joseph Vanegas and his crew of three were FABULOUS.  Within 4 hours my boxes were unloaded in my 3rd floor condo and EVERYTHING was accounted for and in-tact, as promised.  It’s also worth mentioning, they don’t just unload the boxes just anywhere; they’re more than happy and willing to put the furniture where it belongs and, of course, reassemble when necessary.  THEY ARE A FULL-SERVICE CREW.

Throughout this entire process, my assigned project manager, Alex, checked-in regularly, making sure I was a satisfied customer.  And when all was said and done, Alex called one last time to ensure my move was complete and up-to-par.  I told him, like my friend who gave me the initial recommendation, I would only ever use NorthStar, moving forward.
My easiest and the cheapest move EVER!
These guys are as good as it gets! We moved on Halloween day 2013, Oscar and his team were awesome: 1) due to our mistake, they arrived at our address in the SF instead of Berkeley. They drove to Berkeley across the bridge at no charge! 2) Due to the high slope and the narrow road, the truck could not be parked near the new house. Oscar and his team had to carry all the boxes up the hill and up the stairs! I would never move with another company!!!

We have been very pleased with NorthStar.  We have recently used them for one cross country and one local move.  Both times Alex worked closely with us to understand the moves and the special needs.  Tim and his crew were fast and very careful in how they handled our antique furniture and collectables for both moves.  We would be happy to recommend them and would use them again if we need to move (but we hope not any time soon.)
Great deal, and will definitely use them again.  Everything went really smoothly and they were on time and on budget.
We hired Northstar to move my elderly parents and they could not have been better!  Our initial meeting for the free “not to exceed” estimate was great, and we loved knowing what our maximum cost would be. Then the day of the move, the 3 movers arrived a few minutes EARLY, they were all friendly, careful with everything, and very efficient.  They actually wound up finishing way ahead of the estimated timeframe, not a thing was broken or misplaced, and all went smoothly!  They really made the move simple and effortless for my parents!!  Thank you Northstar!!!
My experience with NorthStar has been great! I was running late and didn’t have time to pack several of my belongings. When the crew of 3 movers came, they were not only prompt, but helped me pack everything and got it all out within an hour! What really amazed me was they not only helped disassemble my futon and desks, but reassembled everything back up in my new place! Everything was placed in relatively the same set up I had at my old apartment. They were very courteous and professional. Great team!
Excellent company to work with–very professional, courteous people starting with the owner and down to the actual moving guys. Worked with them on a couple of occasions including same day move. No hidden fees or charges–what you are quoted is what you get. Thanks Ron for a great service!
Factor, Jonathan and Guido did an incredible job moving us from our 2 bedroom apt into our new house. They were able to get everything moved carefully and efficiently in under 4 hours.  Everything was done impeccably.  Thanks fellas.
Phenomenal service! Very professional, friendly, and quick. Our move to Colorado took only 4 days even though we had a much longer window. The crew on both ends were great- real pros and good guys. All of our stuff was well-protected. The price was less than I expected. I’m so glad we chose to go with Northstar over driving a rental truck ourselves. And Alma at their HQ was very friendly and on top of everything. I can’t recommend them enough and we will definitely contact them again the next time we move (though hopefully no time soon).

Thanks for all your help, guys!
I couldn’t have asked for a better moving experience. NorthStar Moving Company was on time and handled my belongings with care. I will definitely use them again!
My move couldn’t have gone better. The movers were incredibly nice and phenomenally efficient. Not to mention the costs were totally reasonable. I highly recommend them!
I’ve used NorthStar Moving three times. A+ experience every time. The movers are prompt, courteous, and professional.
The best!!

I moved a truckload of valuable and enormous wooden furniture from Santa  Monica to Oakland, and these guys were fantastic! Gerardo A., Oscar I., and Gustavo R not only moved it all in without a scratch, but were all nice, friendly and polite to boot. I had some heavy boxes and chairs in the way of where the furniture was to be placed, and whoosh! They just moved it all for me and placed everything right  where I wanted it to the inch. Use these guys. you’ll be glad you did!
This was the best moving experience I’ve ever had with movers, and I have moved A LOT. Factor, Will, and Chris were the three man team that conducted my local move from a one bedroom apartment to putting all my furniture in a storage unit. They showed up on time and were very pleasant and polite. Even though I paid by the hour, they were very fast and very careful (they had all furniture shrink-wrapped and loaded onto the truck in one hour). It was very evident that they were experienced. Getting my furniture into my tiny storage space was like a challenging tetris puzzle, but Will and Factor had some type of visual-spatial gift that helped them work it out. I’m not sure I could have done it without them. The appointment and office staff were very friendly and upfront with the charges so there are no surprises when you go to pay. I will definitely use NorthStar again for my next move, and I will be requesting the same awesome team: Factor, Will, and Chris.
I think if you take the Real Age test online, moving adds a year to your life. Moving is awful. “Soul sucking” might be the most apt term to describe the whole experience. But, if you have to move, NorthStar is the best option for professional movers in the Bay Area. I requested several quotes from various moving companies. North Star was the first to respond–and they offered the lowest quote. Other companies charge the same hourly rate, but tack on a hefty gas fee. NorthStar doesn’t. With the yelp deal, NorthStar comes out to be a much better deal than any other mover I saw. Their customer service was consistently extremely good. And the movers themselves are polite, professional, and efficient. These guys were awesome. Although I paid for a three man crew, they threw in a fourth mover free since he was working on a larger job later in the day.  I’m also pretty sure they generously underestimated the drive and move time total (California law requires that they charge double drive time. When I learned this, I threatened yet again  to move to New Hampshire. Live free or die, baby). I paid the 3 hour minimum for my move from San Mateo County to Marin County. 

If you want to mnimize the stress of moving, save yourself some time and book NorthStar–it isn’t even worth the time to research other movers.
These guys were fast, efficient, helpful and the price was totally reasonable. The foreman Tao (sp) was wonderful…they were on time and didn’t waste any of my time….helped me put things together and were very understanding. Would absolutely use them again.   Made me take notice of any damage that my furniture had already sustained so not to blame them and were very accommodating.
Great moving experience.  From the beginning to the end, the crews were honest and courteous. They called the day before the move to confirm the time window when they’ll be arriving.  On the day of the move, they called again to let me know when the estimated time they were arriving. Tim and the crew were fast and efficient in loading and unloading the furniture, appliances and boxes. I used yelp coupon with no issue at all.  I’ll look for them again when I move again.  Peter S.
Our North Star crew did a fantastic job yesterday!! We had two large storage units and a 2 BDR apartment to load for a move into a house. Jason and his crew of three other men showed up at the storage units on time, and even a little early, on a Saturday morning! This crew worked tirelessly all day, carrying heavy furniture and boxes up and down 4 half-floors. The scheduler in the office was great in helping us estimate using 2 trucks and 4 men for the move. Exactly what we needed!

This crew was careful and respectful of our things and really worked well together. Couldn’t be happier with a moving company and will use them again for any local move we might have. Definitely recommend this company!!
I love love LOVE NorthStar Moving Company! I used them for three moves total – two local moves in Los Angeles (Marina del Rey to Westside, Westside to Culver City) and for one long distance move (Los Angeles to New York). 

Their crew must love working for them too, because I worked with several of them each time!

I worked with Lynn over the phone for both local moves, and Hector for the long distance move. They were both professional, timely, and went above and beyond.

They were understanding and able to accommodate my move date when I wasn’t ready for the cross country move.

The same with the crew – very aware of the timing, yet still careful with belongings. 

I am currently undergoing my first local move in New York and wish like crazy I could call this company.
We moved my elderly parents this weekend.  A difficult move for all concerned.   We are all still speaking to each other, thanks in part to the professional, careful and organized team from NorthStar.
No hassle moving. Came on time. Packed everything very well. Boxes were delivered intact. Final charge was exactly what they had mentioned in the quote. No hidden charges. Will definitely recommend to anyone considering to move. Best of all they have only a 1000 pound minimum which saves a lot of money if you have stuff only worth 1 bedroom house.
Not only did the movers arrive on time, they were early!  They were professional and worked very hard. They covered all of my furniture in blankets and it all arrived safely and in perfect condition!  They guys were so awesome, I bought them breakfast.  They were very thankful and very courteous.  I recommend the company with full enthusiasm.
I did a ton of research (i’m a perfectionist/maximizer) and this truly is the best. The staff was amazing – they were really quick, honest, efficient guys. Went out of their way to help me. I’m definitely getting them again when I move next. Trust me – this will make your life better and this is the company to go with.
