We used NorthStar Moving Company for our daughters move the first of June 2013 – This is a a well, run and efficient company. The staff is very professional and customers are well taken care of. Stefy Nudel was our point of contact and followed up a few days before the scheduled move to confirm we were all on track with the move, this was a nice touch. . The movers came on time and the move went smooth from beginning to end.
Testimonials
Great moving company. Omar and his crew were professional, courteous, and efficient. My wife is pregnant and they made sure to set up our couch first at the new place so she has a place to sit. Highly recommended.
This was my first time using ANY movers, so I’m thrilled to report that it was a terrific experience.
Hector, Jose, and Jacito arrived at 8 a.m. sharp (had been scheduled to arrive between 8 and 10, and I had specially requested they come as close to 8 as possible). They immediately started putting everything into the truck almost at a run! Packing and loading took a fair amount of time, but it was done efficiently and without issues.
Unfortunately when we arrived at our destination, the building elevator that I had reserved was completely shut down, the basement/ramped entrance that led to the elevator bank was blocked by maintenance workers and empty dumpsters. Instead of stopping, the guys decided to take the stairs(!) for most everything we owned, and kept up the fast pace!
I want to specifically call out Hector, who took our 4 drawer, HEAVY file cabinet up three flights of stairs BY HIMSELF and kept a huge smile on his face the whole time. This guy was superman! I asked him if he was tired at one point (and offered some pizza and water) and he declined, saying, “I love this – It makes me feel like I’m working!”
*Amazing!*
(And they all did pretty amazing things with packing tape – who knew?)
Although the move took longer than expected due to issues at the property (don’t worry, I’ll be reimbursed), the entire process would have been ten times longer and more frustrating if I had done it myself.
All three, Jacito (great manager!), Jose (efficient and a solid player), and Hector (superman!) were INCREDIBLE. I would definitely use them again. Thanks

NorthStar Moving Company was professional from the first call to the last goodbye. When I booked my date Ted took all my information and suggested the appropriate size truck and number of crew members to make my move as smooth as possible. The day before the move the office called me to reconfirm the time and addresses. The moving crew called me the morning of my move to let me know they ran into traffic and would be a few minutes late. They arrived 5 minutes after the appointed time which is on time in morning rush hour traffic. The moving crew was fast, courteous, and I’m embarrassed to say, they treated my furniture better than I do. They had me moved into my new place in record time. My furniture was placed exactly where I wanted it. All I have to do is unpack boxes. I can’t believe I thought I could get a couple of guys from work and rent a truck, or worse hiring some guy with a truck advertising on that well known online site. I will use NorthStar again and recommend them to anyone I know who is moving. They are the best. Thank you again to everyone at NorthStar who made my move stress free.
Took me a while to write this review, first time yelper here. These guys were great, from the phone call getting the quote to the timeliness of the movers, they even put my new table and chairs together for me. Totally worth the price, and they had a great yelp deal going on at the time. Five stars all the way!
Was a great company to work with. Super responsive over email, helped figure out requirements with hoa, guys who showed up to do the move were awesome and really working hard. Would recommend thinking about the parking situation more than a few days before the move day if you live in the city. I got stuck thinking about it too late, didn’t set up anything official, and spent some time stressing about how the truck would have to double park kind of in a bus lane. It all worked out fine in the end though.
Hired NorthStar for an in-town 2br move where I had already packed everything up. They were accommodating, hard-working, and on-time. Money well spent.
I have moved many times and this was by far my best experience with a moving company. My move required a local and national quote. When I called to request a quote the young woman with whom I spoke took basic information, but immediately said it would be best to have someone come to my home to review what I had to ship to ensure accurate pricing. I called with just a week to schedule everything.
Alan Nudel came to my house two days later and we went through the place together with him asking detailed questions about what was being shipped and reminding me of a number of details (like the garage) that I’d forgotten. He gave me a quote that seemed a bit higher than others I’d gotten on the phone, but I felt much more comfortable since he had actually seen everything and gave me a “not to exceed” price with the caveat that the actual price might be lower. The same day he emailed me two quotes — one for the local and teh other for the national move and we scheduled a pick up time. He also assured me that he would send a great moving crew.
Three days before the move I received a call from the local Northstar office confirming the date and time of the pick up. Later that day, I received a second call from Northstar’s affiliate on the East coast confirming the date and pick up time for that portion of the move.
On moving day, both crews showed up well within the time window and called me in advance to let me know they were en route. Alan also called to make sure that the crews had contacted me and were on their way. In fact, both crews of three men arrived at my door within five minutes of each other. My house is not large. I had visions of the local stuff being shipped across country and the cross country stuff staying local, but the two crews were outstanding in their work and coordination. Omar, the lead, and Mario, and Lawrence who took care of the cross-country move were quick and efficient and made sure to review each item before they started packing and then to provide me with a checklist after they’d completed the packing. Every item was thoroughly wrapped and I am confident that everything will arrive in one piece.
The second crew with John as lead and David and Hector helping did a superb job. I was stunned by how well they packed each item, yet they stayed below the estimate of packing materials costs provided to me by Alan. I did not watch them load the truck, but they must have been incredibly well-organized because the unloading at the other end was amazingly fast and efficient. This was no easy feat, because I was moving all of my things into another home of equivalent size that was already furnished. The unpacking required that they constantly ask me where to put things and even as they moved quickly they also made sure that things were not simply dumped in an available space so they could move through the work. Everything was placed where I asked and on a couple of occasions relocated when I got confused about space. Despite all of the time and care that they took with the move, they still came in well below the not-to-exceed cost of the move, which was a tremendous surprise and relief.
I realized after they’d left that I had forgotten to retrieve two packing blankets that I owned and needed for storage. I called the office and within an hour a different crew came by and handed me two packing blankets. In the evening Alan Nudel called to confirm that all had gone as planned.
In short, Northstar was OUTSTANDING. Everyone with whom I came in contact was courteous and professional, the prices were fair, and they all seemed to take pride in their work. I absolutely recommend them. Be sure to ask for Alan Nudel and if you can get either crew with whom I worked, you’ll be in great shape.

Moving is among the most nerve wrecking things for most people and my nerves were definitely frazzled during my recent move from Los Angeles to Ann Arbor. After contacting over 20 companies, I went with NorthStar with a bit of hesitation because despite their excellent rating, most of the reviews were for local moves. Luckily for me, I could not have asked for a better experience. Every contact I had with someone at NorthStar was excellent. Be it Ron who did the estimate, or customer service via phone, or the guys who picked up my stuff and the ones who delivered my stuff, the communication and service were thorough, quick, and professional. I honestly cannot think of anything they could have done better. Oh, and their rate is very competitive too.
i called NorthStar on short notice (3 days) to help move my stuff from my apartment in Tarzana to a house in Simi. The three guys who showed up knew what they were doing and got everything packed up and moved over to Simi in just a few hours. Very easy to deal with, organized and professional.
I used the Yelp coupon defintily good value!

I’ve used NorthStar for two moves now. They’re on time, courteous, didn’t break anything, and got the job done in under three hours, their minimum. Throw in a deal from yelp, and I’m completely satisfied. Thanks, NorthStar!
We moved from Los Angeles to the Bay Area. The quote given by all other movers was around $1700 – $2000. Guess how much it cost me when I considered using North Star Movers instead? $825 !! yep, less than half of what at least 4 other movers quoted!
These guys are very friendly, awesome group of young and energetic men, all wearing same dress and very professional. This is the 6th time I moved in the US, and the North Star movers are by far, I really mean, by far the best! 5 stars without a doubt!!!

Great guys, great service. We saved $90 with a coupon at it cost about $600. Totally worth it. Jose was amazing!
Great job from pick up to delivery! Customer service and moving crew were outstanding–very efficient and professional. I have shared my experience with my colleagues who are also planning cross-country moves. I know they will not be disappointed.
Moving is always a nightmare but the Northstar team made it one of the most pleasant experiences and non stressful moves ever. The team showed up promptly on both days of our move ready to work. They were conscientious about packing and moving all of our belongings (and there was a lot of it) from the Westside to our new house. Extremely professional and efficient. I would highly recommend them.
Incredibly efficient and treated my things with amazing respect. Well done!
Very professional in every respect. Making a reservation was simple. Movers called to say they were available early if we were ready, and they were flexible with starting early but not immediately. The move was seemless and quick. We couldn’t believe we’d done it all ourselves previously.
NorthStar did a fantastic job on our cross-country move, which involved moving all our worldly possessions from Santa Monica to Austin. Every single person I interacted with at the company was friendly, polite, and helpful. Our moving logistics were handled by Ron, who was good-humored, accommodating, and always very quick to respond my questions via e-mail. He came over to take a look at the items we were moving, and was very clear about how to prepare for the move as well as what limitations they had (no liquids that were unsealed/open, like my multi-gallon containers of soy sauce).
On moving day, a team of four movers showed up on time and completed the job in about 6.5 hours. They were quick, efficient, courteous, and hard-working. Just as importantly, they were very careful about protecting our stuff, ensuring that each and every item was adequately protected. We especially appreciated the care given to our 3D printer.
The move itself was pretty organized. We had something like 111 boxes/items, and they kept everything numbered and notated so that when those 111 boxes showed up at my new house in Austin four days later, I knew where each of them went.
We truly appreciated the hard work of everyone at Northstar who was involved in our big move, and would recommend them without hesitation.

Northstar is a FANTASTIC moving company. My sister and bro-in-law recommended them after they moved their 5 bedroom house across the country. I also did a cross country move and Northstar did an AMAZING job. They charged me 25% less than the national movers quoted me. The guys in LA were great – they were courteous and packed my things with care. The company communicated with me the entire journey across country and they delivered my things within the agreed upon window. The guys in Florida were also great. Nothing was broken or missing and the final bill was exactly what we agreed upon. These guys deliver on their promises. They are highly professional and they made this move painless and stress free. Thank you Northstar!
Moved me from the 6th floor of a condo high-rise to the 4th floor of a walkup + tiny elevator building. They brought 4 guys to pack & move – all were friendly and very professional when it came to the packing & moving. They packed & itemized immaculately, and everything arrived safely to its new home. Overall it took about 8 hours for a 2bd/2ba + time in transit. For the peace of mind, the price was well worth it! Would highly recommend them!
I used NorthStar to move from Los Angeles to Houston in May, and they were wonderful. Their estimate was very close to the actual price. They moved everything from my apartment and my storage unit into the the moving truck within a few hours; these guys work fast, but they were very careful. It took about 2 weeks for my belongings to be delivered, but absolutely nothing was missing or broken…and I had tons of breakables in the boxes. They were on time, very professional, and very friendly. I trust this company and would definitely use them again.
The movers were actually 30 minutes early on Saturday morning. They were very professional and quick to get going. They were extremely careful with our furniture and boxes. I would recommend Northstar Moving to any one looking for a move within SF.
We’ve moved three times using NorthStar. We will never use anyone else. Their representative, Gadi Avigzer, gave us a thorough and accurate estimate for the cost of our move. He also gave us helpful suggestions on how we might save money. Then, he sent out a crew that was hard working, careful, accomodating, and honest. I have lived all over the country, and I’ve moved about sixteen times. NorthStar and Mr. Avigzer are the most professional, reliable, helpful movers I’ve ever used. – Mary C
Crew arrived at 1045am yesterday which was delightfully ahead of the 12-6pm block previously quoted. Yesterday could have been a disaster with Carmageddon and the LA Triathlon, but Mike and his crew had me loaded up in 45min and unloaded at my new home in 15min. These guys are the best!
nothing short of 5 stars for these guys. From the day Ilan came over to give me a quote to the day the move took place it was all painless, stressless, and just overall great. I was quoted a not to exceed price which was great (so i knew i was protected in case of things running late), the movers came in and immediately got to work and had me in our new apt set up and ready to go all within 4 hours. These guys are great at what they do, they are highly professional, and courteous.
