Once again, Northstar comes through. This is the sixth time I have used them for my move ( yes, I know, for one who hates moving–I have moved a lot). From the moment I spoke with Anna until the last box was loaded into my new home, Northstar was helpful, professional, efficient, and punctual. The arrangements were made and the date set. The three guys arrived on time and immediately began to move me. This was a difficult move–stairs at both ends–but everything was handled with efficiency and care. Let’s hear it for professional movers in general and Northstar in particular. I hope that this will be my last move, but, should I have to do it again, Northstar will be my mover of choice. Impeccable service and reasonable rates…who could ask for more?!
Testimonials
I only have positive things to say because the experience was exactly what I wanted.
The setup and payment process was easy. Operator was very friendly.
The pick up crew was on time, very efficient, friendly and well spoken. I did not have any worries about things being stolen, or broken.
Provided enough notification for pick and delivery. They were also very accommodating to the nuances of my street.
Broke down the furniture that needed to be taken apart, and put it back together without questions
They wrapped everything up (EVEN THE TRASH CAN).
I advise using them for all major moves.

We used NorthStar in San Francisco. They were very prompt, courteous and efficient. I would definitely recommend them and use them again in the future.
I’ve used NorthStar Movers twice and have thought they did a bang-up great job both times. They were both in town moves in Los Angeles. The crew showed up on time and were very quick and efficient in getting us out of our old places and into our new ones. They are all very friendly to boot. I highly recommend NorthStar Movers. We’re even planning on using them in a cross-country move next year. Great job, fellas!
Move number FOUR with NorthStar Moving Company over the last five years, and they just keep getting better and better! This was a big one – a move from Hollywood to Marina Del Rey, and once again the service went beyond my expectations.
The guys actually showed up early by 10 minutes (love it!), and got the job done in less time than was expected and the bill reflected as much. As has always been the case they took excellent care of my things and went out of their way to make sure things were packed properly and securely.
From the easy booking process to the final delivery, Ted and everyone else at NorthStar made what could be an extremely stressful event a complete and utter breeze. Great prices, great customer service – what more could you want? Thanks again for all!

Worth every penny! David and his team were great! Wrapped all furniture and even stuff I should have packed better showed up intact. Moved a two bed apartment from SF to San Rafael for about $1200 and I felt like that was a deal when I saw how hard they worked. I hired three movers… Probably should have done four. I would recommend northstar to anyone!
Jessica was amazing! Got my move from Pasadena CA to Las Cruces NM and took 3 days. Movers came and loaded everything for me and boxed up a few items for me. They also packaged up my 2 flat screen TVs. Everything came and the movers did all the work. They called me about 45 min away and when they got to my new house they unloaded everything for me. I will use them again if I ever have to move again.
Thanks again Jessica!
Thanks again Jessica!
These guys were very patient, showed up on time, and helped move in less than ideal conditions. Would use them again in a second! Hard workers with a go get em’ attitude!
Had a great experience with them. They showed up on time and laid out an estimate along with pointing out some things before they started. Everything went smoothly and they were able to move a piano (my biggest worry) much quicker than the piano movers that moved it in! A very good experience overall and definitely recommend them.
I hired Northstar based on the referral of a family member who had seen them on Angie’s List. Omar and his two helpers were awesome: professional, courteous, friendly, and made me feel that I was good hands and I was able to relax and what is traditionally a very stressful day. Because of these movers, this was probably one of the least stressful days I have had leading up to this move. When I make another move in the near future, I will most definitely use them.
I used NorthStar for a long distance move from LA to Houston in mid-September. The entire process was very easy and quick….plus they gave me a great rate! The crew arrived on time and immediately began taking furniture and boxes down to their truck. The load-up took about 2 hours…much faster then I thought it would take. About a week later, my furniture/boxes arrived in Houston–right on time. Even though a different crew unloaded everything, they were just as nice and professional as the load-up crew. Overall, I would definitely suggest using this company for any moving/relocation need!
Moving is generally one of the most stressful events in your life, but NorthStar Moving made it really easy. They showed up on time (early even!), all the members of the team were personable and courteous, and they did the job quickly and efficiently. They are also pretty inexpensive. We moved from an apartment in SF to a house in the peninsula and the entire move cost much less than $800, including the Yelp coupon. It was a great deal.
My wife and I would use them again with no hesitation.

BEST MOVERS!!!!
Just want to take this opportunity with this review to say thanks to NorthStar for making my moving experience from LA to Portland so smooth and effortless that I will never consider moving a pain now. Some of the highlights were:
– Best price
– Courteous service
– Accurate estimation
– Professional moving crew
– Timely pickup and delivery
– Two thumbs up in all the moving tasks they performed
I will highly recommend it anyone who is planning to move and will not be hesitant to go back to them whenever I need to move again.

I recently moved two households from the Bay Area to Saint Helena, in Napa, Wine Country. Should I move again, I will call North Star first. Their service was exemplary and the crew was polite, efficient and considerate, The price was reasonable and the service was great, most impressive. I wholeheartedly recommend North Star movers.
This is my 3rd move in 2 1/2 years and I have used North Star each time. I have never been disappointed, they have been super punctual, my crew of 3 worked their butts off, finished a little early and a little under the written estimate (always good). My previous move (2nd move) was to put all my belongings into storage and I asked them to pack for me too. First time I had ever done that, always thought it would be too expensive and I would save money. What was I thinking – I will never pack again. I saved money AND time by having North Star do all the work and provide the supplies. It actually cost less than what I had spent on boxes, packing tape and material. They literally packed everything all in one day and then picked up everything the next day and put it into my storage. Great Job! So this last move (3rd move), was a bit more complex, since I was not going to take everything out of storage, but needed to move what I was not taking into a smaller storage, then stop at my sister’s where I had been living for year and pick up, boxes, plants and a refrigerator and then take it all to my new apartment. Again these guys were professional, fast and always respectful.
The first moves that North Star did for me, not a single thing was broken or damaged. This time there were a few items broken and a couple nicks – things happen, but the cool part is that they were the ones to bring it to my attention and suggest that I call Customer Service the next day to see if they would give me a discount. It is important to know that if you don’t buy additional insurance (through a separate agent), then you get only a very basic coverage by a mover (this is pretty standard in the industry) of .39 cents per pound. I knew this upfront and have not purchased additional coverage, so needless to say I would only be entitled to a nominal fee for my damages. But the customer services department offered me a $50 credit/refund check for my damage, without having to go through a long claim process (which was more than I would have been able to get with the nominal insurance coverage). It certainly didn’t cover my damages, but I took that risk by choosing not to buy additional coverage, so no complaints here.
Hey, but wait, it gets better. I moved in the beginning of Sept. and today (mid-Oct.), I get a call from Ron (he is my estimator – I say mine, because he coordinated and estimated all 3 of my moves – I have his name and number programed into my phone), he was calling just to follow-up on how the move went for me. I told him that I was happy, that the guys worked hard and then I mentioned that there had been some damage this time, but that Customer Service had been kind enough to give me a credit of $50 and that I appreciated it. He asked what had been damaged and how much I thought that I had cost. Then he said that he would talk with customer services and see if he could get me an additional $50. Well, Alma (customer service) called me within an hour and asked me to verify my address so she could send me a check for $100. This kind of customer service just does not exist any more, but it is alive and well at North Star. I recommend them to everyone and will continue to use them in the future (I still have stuff in storage – so ya’ know it is just a matter of time – lol).

Trust North Star with your move. They are fast, careful, affordable, and amazing!
We’ve used North Star twice and they never let us down.
Thanks again!
These guys are professional and friendly, worth every dime spent.
I’ve used their services many times in the past years and have always enjoyed the process. Moving in itself is already big enough of a headache, the last thing you need is additional stress from bad moving companies. I highly recommend Northstar.

Used Northstar for the second time, and they were fantastic! So so stressful to move a five person family, and they just swooped in and took care of business! The price was competitive and completely fair. Highly recommend!
I used them only for unloading a penske truck upon arriving at my new home.
They were wonderful. I showed up an hour or so late, thank you LA traffic, and they were so cool about it and I was not charged extra. They were careful with our things and very friendly. After all the moving horror stories I’ve read I honestly wasn’t expecting it to be so painless.
Also, when you call for info the customer service people are super helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Lynn at NorthStar moving helped me get together a move to TEXAS including my car (using a different service) FOR THE SAME DAY!!! It was extremely smooth the whole way and the movers actually arrived at my new address in Texas at the perfect time when i was actually getting my keys. THANK YOU!!
I love them! They’re very professional, punctual, friendly and accommodating.
The team we had, Daniel, Frankie and Jonathan, were magnificent. They were polite, gentle, adorable and hardworking. Since we have to move one more time, we’ve already booked them for our next move.
Very happy and highly recommended!

I have never written a yelp review before, but my experience with North Star Moving was worth sharing. I recently moved from the San Francisco Bay Area to Virginia and North Star was awesome. Jason and his team on the SF end wrapped my Ikea furniture like it was being shipped to Buckingham Palace. They were on-time, courteous and answered all my questions. On the Virginia end, Santiago and Angel did an excellent job unloading my belongings into my storage space. I couldn’t have asked for a better cross-country moving experience. Everyone knows someone who has a horror-story related to moving and I am so glad I went with North Star. I chose them because they had the highest yelp rating and that was the right decision! They may not have been the cheapest cross-country movers I could find, but it was worth every penny to have everything delivered safely and on-time, and within the cost of the estimate they gave me. I’d recommend them to any of my friends!! And I did use the yelp deal for a $90 savings!

These guys were great. Very professional, hard workers. Tried there best to please me any way they could. I would use them again. Only minor oops but with my super heavy furniture it’s to be expected. The foreman was awesome!!!!!!
My roommate and I used NorthStar on the recommendation of a work colleague, and it turned out great. First the Yelp coupon is a great value. I received a prompt call from the company when I submitted an inquiry in the website, and they were very accommodating as I had to move my destination several times (we were both moving into storage units) and responses to emails were very prompt. All fees were explained up front (California has some weird requirements regarding hourly labor and driving, but everything was on the up and up).
The three movers arrived promptly at the very beginning of the time window they gave me, wrapped the important furniture very well and followed all instructions. The truck was very well packed and everything seemed secure and did not move around at all.
After moving into the storage units, a few items wouldn’t fit and they even wrapped these for me after the fact so I could ship them elsewhere.
Only minor complaint was that I had to supervise the actual packing of the storage unit, as it was a very tight fit and they didn’t use a lot of common sense when putting things into the unit so we had to take things out and retry a few times before it all fit.
Overall a great experience, would highly recommend Northstar to anyone looking for a very professional and competent moving company who wants to avoid the general sketchy feel that I think the moving industry has!
