We recently used Northstar for a 2 bdrm move and the guys who came were wonderful.  They were on time, quick, efficient and careful.  Everything got moved within the 4 hour minimum and nothing was broken.  Customer service was also stellar with them even following up with me today to see how the move went.  

Great moving company and with the Yelp deal, great price as well!  Sadly, I already know I’ll be moving again in a year.  At least I know who my movers will be 🙂 

This is the third time that I’ve moved using NorthStar Moving. I keep using their services because their staff is also very professional and they have consistently provided quality service. I would highly recommend that you schedule an appointment to get an estimate. They give you a very accurate estimate of what your move should cost and I’ve found that it has never cost more, but instead has cost less than their estimate on occasion.

I will absolutely be calling NorthStar Moving Company again for my next move.
With my history of moving every two years, I can’t say I’m a stranger to the whole ordeal of finding a quality moving company – that said, this was my first local move in over six years, with long-distance moves being a slightly different beast altogether. After comparing several of the top-rated places on Yelp, timelines, pricing, and services resulted in me choosing NorthStar (the Yelp Deal was definitely a big plus as well). 

Scheduling was painless, and communication was on point throughout the entire process. The three guys dispatched to handle my move not only showed up on time, they even got there about 15 minutes ahead of schedule, and patiently ran through the lengthy checklist that my previous building had for moves.

With the majority of my stuff already packed up in boxes, the move itself was fairly painless: they disassembled my furniture, wrapped everything up in the plastic wrap I’d purchased off Amazon (pro tip: buy your own moving supplies – plastic wrap and tape is a LOT cheaper when you get it yourself), while padding things like glass shelves and TVs as necessary (using extra cardboard boxes I scavenged from our recycling room), and helped put all my other clothes and miscellaneous items into the wardrobe boxes they provided as part of the move.

Zip forward three hours from when they show up, and all my boxes had been unloaded, and all my furniture reassembled and put in place – apparently the fastest and cheapest one bedroom (well, half of a 1200 sq ft two bed two bath, technically) they’d ever done!

So, all in all, a quick, affordable, and stress-free move, with only one little mishap, all said and done (a slightly careless kick of a moving dolly left a small dent in one of my walls), with the final bill coming out to a little under $450 after the $60 for $150 Yelp Deal.
The best moving experience I”ve ever had. From the beginning, Kat got the ball rolling with her determined professionalism. The movers were on time and courteous. They hustled and treated my property with care. They moved my piano upstairs without a complaint. Northstar Moving Corp. gets my highest rating.

This review is loooong overdue, but still very worth the effort to write. I hired NorthStar Movers for the second time this past November, and it was truly a 5 star experience. They arrived on time at my storage unit, and relocated all my furniture to my new shiny apartment a few miles away. Based on my last experience with NorthStar, I knew the process would be stress free, and handled with the utmost of professionalism. They did a stellar job; I wasn’t expecting anything less. Thanks NorthStar! 

I have used Northstar Moving multiple times and they are the best in the business. Always professional, do a great job, and make the move easy! Thanks again.
I’ve used NorthStar on three different moves now, and I would defintiely recommend them. The guys were nice and professional. Everything was quick and easy. Love how they wrapped my furniture to make sure it got there safely. 

The screen door at my old apartment was damaged during the move (hey, stuff happens), so I submitted a claim. The process was super easy and they were able to get me a reimbursement quickly. Really great customer service, they were so quick with following up!

You can pay in cash for an additional discount.
I hired NorthStar Movers on recommendation from a friend who used them in December for her move. I was a FlatRate Movers fan previously, but decided to try out NorthStar. I am so glad I did! They were not only less money, but way better at the whole moving process and so fast and professional. I can’t say enough great things about our moving experience. 

We moved from a two bedroom at the beach to a 4 bedroom in the City and had lots of stairs in both homes. The guys worked their tushies off and didn’t complain for a minute. We probably had about 6 bedrooms worth of boxes and things as we filled two trucks! But they managed to pick up everything and move us into the new place all in one day.

They guarantee their quoted price and since the move took a little longer than originally planned, it would have cost us $500 more, but they didn’t charge us extra. Consummate professionals and I would hire them again without thinking twice.

By far the best moving experience I’ve yet to have and I’ve moved a LOT in the last 15 years! 

I highly recommend this wonderful business.
Fantastic moving company! Yes, moving is tricky. Yes, it’s possible it won’t go perfectly. In my case, all of the staff was very pleasant and professional, however there were a few bumps along the way with my stuff. Regardless, a company shows it’s true self with how, in the end, it handles unfortunate outcomes that happen to the small percentage. NorthStar has the best customer service I’ve ever experienced, bar none. So keep in mind, if you’re worried about something happening, NorthStar will do their best to right any wrongs, and with a smile.
I’ve used Northstar twice for my home moves and once for a work related move and each time they have been excellent.  The staff is professional, friendly and courteous, the rates are fair and they take incredible care of your property.   I wouldn’t use any other movers!
Thank goodness for Yelp and honest people.  I hadn’t moved in 12 years and I was out of the loop.  All I knew is that it cost about $400 to move my furniture back then.  I was stressing the thought of moving for some time.

I called NorthStar and used the online coupon.  I got movers Michael B., Joe, and Antini O. to help me.  No situation was too difficult.  I lived on the second floor in a gated community and the house I moved into had minimal parking space.  I am also thrifty.  I wasn’t embarrassed to tell the movers to help me keep track of my “schedule” (wanted to stay under 4 hours).  I did–easily.  Looking back, I probably should have went for 5 (moved a lot of little things on my own).

Very friendly staff.  It took only 1/2 the day.  The ONLY drawback I can say is their price for boxes is a little high so I suggest  “Uline” a ton of boxes before hand.  Oh yeah, it was less than $400–even 12 years later.
These guys were the best!  From the minute I made the phone call, the person who answered was very helpful, down to the minute the guys were finished moving me!  Very polite.  Very helpful.  Had everything I needed.  Worth every penny.  Didn’t damage anything I own or either property, moving out of or into.
I tend to be a do-it-yourself kind of gal but between the rave reviews on Yelp and my friend’s successful move I finally gave up moving myself… enter NorthStar Moving Company. I can honestly say I will never move myself again. Best things about this company… 1. Talk to Ram, he’s the owner and will take care of you. He gave me 5 star service from start to finish. 2. My move crew: they were funny, friendly, and fast. Big shout out to Mike, Dan & Charlie. *If you can request them, I would recommend it. 3. Flexible scheduling: they give you a window of when they will arrive and call you an hour before actual arrival time to confirm so you don’t have to wait around all day. 4. Price: I had a yelp coupon and they are reasonably prices $115/hour plus any supplies you use. However, they let you use closet hanging boxes free as well as frame boxes. Refer to #2 for speed, meaning you end up paying less. Overall, totally recommend this company and definitely my move crew!
We recently moved and NorthStar did a great job.  They arrived on time, were professional and got everything moved promptly and professionally.  I’d use them again for a move.
I have had some negative experiences with other movers in the past, so I was nervous about dealing with movers again for a big cross country move. Dealing with NorthStar, however, was easy and pleasant from the very first phone call. Their estimator, Ron, was punctual, professional, and we were able to work out an estimate that I felt very comfortable with. He also broke down every fee very clearly, so I knew what I’d be paying for. Every time I contacted him with updates on the move, he replied promptly and courteously. The movers themselves were also very punctual, polite and quick. At destination, they were equally punctual (early, actually), polite, and quick when it came to unloading my stuff. They told me beforehand what my balance would be and at the end there were no surprises in the form of hidden fees or anything like that. Moving is stressful no matter what, but with NorthStar you can at least relax a little knowing your belongings are in good hands. I highly recommend them!
A+ Experience from beginning to end!!! I am so glad we chose NorthStar Moving Company. Our first point of contact was with Steffi in customer service. She was pleasant and answered every question thrown at her. We were very pleased to hear that NorthStar would send a representative the next day to give us a “Not to exceed price.” Ron was friendly and on time, he quickly inventoried our furniture and approx. 60 + boxes we packed ourselves. We were thrilled that our not to exceed price was very reasonable, and we could use our $100 Yelp certificate, too! Free wardrobe boxes, no extra fees for tape and wrapping furniture, and best of all no extra charges because we lived in a building without an elevatr! We moved from a 2 bdrm apartment (1100 sqft) to a 3 bdrm home 9 miles away. Moving Day – The 4 man team sent out….Nick, Oscar, Alex and Alvaro were SUPERSTARS!!! The gentlemen arrived in red polo shirts just before 8am, and dove right in. Nick was a great leader, he was pro-active and let the building mgr. know about a car blocking the loading/unloading zone. Parking in aother area would have added much more time to the other move, as well as fatigue to his group. The guys carried boxes and furniture using the stairwell, the team was relentless and never dragged their feet. They disassembled many furniture pieces and wrapped the furniture easily…it was obvious they were pros. We were amazed at how fast the guys worked, and yet still showed tremendous care for our belongings. They were even playful with out 2 kids. Each member of the team was communicative and thoughtful. They pointed out the wall portraits that we almost left behind, gave us great suggestions for our new furniture layout, and still took the time to unpack the wardrobe boxes! We were unbelievably impressed with the level of service we received. We shared pizza, soft drinks after all their hard work. They were completely professional, thorough and maintained a great attitude throughout the entire move. We would use Northstar Movinga gain, and would recommend them to anyone.
I am so glad that we selected North Star as our movers for our cross-country relocation. For the Yelper below who thinks that a move isn’t stressful- try an Orange County to Chicago move in the middle of dead-ass winter immediately following the holidays and having little time to prep because you work 50 hours a week. Our relocation is not one of the most stressful events we have endured, but North Star pulled through in making a crazy move a lot less stressful. We did extensive research prior to selecting our movers, as there are a lot of liabilities and assets involved, and tedious logistics to work out. We have no regrets, as everything was amazing from start to finish. Our rep, Alice, provided prompt and thorough follow-through at each stage of the move. The local team of 6 movers arrived to pick up their belongings, and I was very pleased with the service they provided. They were friendly, courteous, and FAST. We had pre-packed many of our belongings ourselves with the exception of my boyfriend’s fragile (i.e. expensive) flat-screen TV and they took great care in packing it well and packing it quickly. The driver who transported our belongings from CA to IL was Sean White, who is truly a godsend. He called to provide me with his cell phone number upon leaving CA and remained in contact throughout his trip to keep me updated on his progress. He endured many a shitty blizzard to get here, and when he arrived, he and his partner unpacked and hauled a lot of heavy things up three winding flights of stairs very quickly. Our belongings arrived without any damage within the time window that was promised. I am happy to refer any friend of mine to North Star, whether it be for a local CA move (they are based in Chatsworth) or a crazy cross-country move.
Great experience. Given how busy things are at this time of year I was lucky to get NorthStar booked with short notice. Moving in our neighborhood is a challenge because of parking and space but the gang managed to make it happen despite not having the required time to pull permits. We had lots of detailed instructions but the move went fast and everything arrived in its place free of damage. Overall a very uneventful move and we got a great price OTD. Definitely recommended.
Had a great experience with North Star. They were very professional all the way through. Daniel and his crew were wonderful–they tried to make sure we got our money’s worth and were just really nice guys. I’d recommend them to anyone.
I moved again and used Northstar again and WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED! Last time they were cheap, fast and efficient. This time, they were cheap, fast, efficient and EXTREME MOVERS! What’s that you say? What is EXTREME MOVING? Well I bet you thought you could just live your life and move your boring Ikea furniture from one apartment to another like every other yuppie in Santa Monica. Not with Northstar Moving! My bro Jose blasted into my apartment with a mission–To get his crew to move my stuff with as much badassery as possible. Bros were moving dollies with Herculean strength–two at a a time. These guys dismantled my furniture with Ninja skills… In fact, I thought one dude was part Robocop with the way his wrists rotated. They boxed up my rare and delicate porcelain clown collection like they were Tibetan monks balancing lotus blossoms on their fingertips. Not a single Bozo was harmed. They looked at my couch and looked at the door and said, “Nah, screw that.” Sure, the couch got IN to the apartment fine and they could have gotten it OUT of the apartment the same way but why be boring? These EXTREME MOVERS pulled the truck up to my balcony, sent one dude down below and had two bros hurl the couch over the balcony only to have one dude at the bottom CATCH IT AND HOLD IT IN MIDAIR UNTIL THE OTHER GUYS RAN DOWN TO HELP HIM. I’m sorry, Northstar, but do you also double as a dating service because I think I’m in LOVE. So, sure, you could go find another moving company. However, they won’t be as cheap, as fast, as efficient or as EXTREME as Northstar. Tell them you read this on Yelp and you’ll get 5%-10% off because they love hooking it up.
Ron Cohen, Thank you to you and NorthStar Moving Company for all that you did to make my move go smoothly and successfully! This was my 5th move with your company – and once again, your team was the best! You and the NorthStar team came through for me again and made what could be a stressful experience into a very calm, positive experience. I really am grateful to you and will be happy to recommend you to all of my friends and family. Please share my appreciation with the team! You delivered top shelf premium customer service and I thank you!!!!
I just made another move and NorthStar has done another stellar job for me in making my move painless and great!   This will be the 3rd time I’ve used them. Ron Cohen does a great job in coming in on the estimate and has always been right on target!  The system they have blows away the competition while being highly honest and fair!  Stay away from other companies out there which give you an estimate without even coming to see your place… NorthStar does it right!  I also enjoyed the small conversation with Ron as he asked about the last move, to the point where he was even checking to see if some of the same guys were available (which one was) based on me telling him the positive experience from the past.   
 
With this move I needed one extra stop to storage and Ron was very fair (AND REALISTIC) on the estimate where the time was on target which only added another 1/2 hr to my move which was included as part of the estimate.   

As one who is in Real Estate, having solid vendors in place for clients is important and I’m happy to refer NorthStar as they have always done me right!   The 3 man crew were hard working and fast.  They don’t complain, and are always quick to offer a hand and go the extra step!   A good attitude goes a long way.   

I will stand behind the 5 stars!  I’ll also say that to see the negative review written by a recent yelper should not steer you away!  Its clear some people want everything in life for free and after not only reading the ridiculous post he left (but other reviews this individual wrote), I felt the need to say it as it is from my experience.  Understanding how stressful moving is for many, it bugs me when others enjoy fingerpointing their own Errors.   

High level of customer service is something I see NorthStar standing behind (and so much more than other companies) and they do a great job in always finding hard working, competent and skilled movers!  The guys they sent did an outstanding job!  They train them right and I have no doubt I’ll be giving them more repeat business in the future!
