OMG did I ever regret not using these guys during my last move. The guys arrived just a little after 8:00 AM and I was told they would be there between 8-10 AM. They were ready to get the show on the road even though I had an enormous amount of boxes and antiques. They protected my heirlooms and treated my plants with respect and protected them so they wouldn’t break during the ride as if it were their own property they were moving, which I really appreciated. I was amazed at how quick it was for them to load and ready to get on the road within 3 hours which is about what we all expected they would take and as we found stuff they didn’t realize they had to take, they made room in the truck to make sure all my valuables went with them safely. The crew moved at a speed I had never seen before and the ride was quicker than everyone expected. It only took them 1 hour which they thought it would be about 1 hr 15 min to 1 hr 30 min. I was pleasantly surprised and relieved at the speed to which they arrived at my new place. Once at our new home they cracked the whip, I don’t know where they got the second wind, but these extremely hard workers got it and rolled with their new found wind. The only thing I was expecting different was that they would unload first what the loaded last and I think that would have made things easier for them and quicker and in turn easier when unpacking but I will not take away from what a blessing these guys were to my mother, my pets, and especially to myself. I could not and would have not been able to survive the stress of moving, working 2 jobs, and finding a new place without the wonderful company of North Star. I hope it’s a long time before I have to move again but when I do move into my purchased home I know for sure I will use them and I will make sure not to forget to buy the Yelp Deal which saved me $50 bucks. Now a day, that’s dinner at a nice restaurant. LOL If you want to shop around, I suggest you do to get piece of mind but don’t forget that you get what you pay for and this place not only gives you the best deal, it gives you an even better customer service from the time you open your door to get your estimate which is spot on with what they will end up spending to the moment they leave your property after unloading all your stuff. I was so tired I almost forgot my receipts and they kept calling me and running after me to give me the receipts. I trusted these men with my most precious items and they were great at treating them as if they were their own. Nothing got lost and THEY did not break anything. They made some new items look like antiques but fortunately I like that look and was grateful I didn’t have to do it myself.

Service was fast and excellent! Request Daly, Miguel, and Alex. They are really professional and efficient!
Moving is never any fun. It’s a hassle, stressful and usually chaotic. But this was the best experience I’ve ever had. We moved from North Hollywood to the other side of the 101 and the crew was awesome. They were very friendly, nice and very fast. They even finished faster than estimated, so we spent less money than we thought we were going to! They arrived right on time, busted their butts, and took really great care of our things. Nothing was damaged – not even the house we moved out of or the one we moved in to. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
I had a wonderful moving experience and I only have positive things to say about your company. Gadi was amazing-always helpful and made my move worry-free. I look forward to passing his name along to all my family/friends who are moving. He is the best!   Lacey Wilson
We had NorthStar recommended to us by some friends who had used them for a move on the west side of LA. We called for a quote, and Ron came to our house and gave us a quote well under what we had expected to pay. We were thrilled by the quoted price. On the day of the move, three guys showed up and had our whole house packed in three hours, at the new house a half hour later, and unpacked into the right rooms in another three hours. The whole move was done in under 7 hours, which saved us an hour of quoted labor costs – so the bill came in UNDER even what Ron had quoted us. The movers were fast, courteous and experience, and I’d definitely use NorthStar again.
Best moving experience ever!!!! We moved twice in 15-days (our house wasn’t ready to move in), the first move was such a horrible experience (movers that I had used a few years before) that when I had to move again, 15-days later, I looked on yelp for a moving company with a good rating. Northstar was the 3rd call to a moving company I made. They were professional from the start; Ron Cohen came out and gave me an estimate which accounted for 2 trucks and 4 men. Before moving day, they called me and emailed me to confirm. The movers, Mike, Steve, Jaime, and Daniel all showed up promptly and moved us with 2 trucks in 6 hours from start to finish. Because they were so efficient, the bill was less then the actual quote which made me very, very happy!!! The guys were great and I would positively recommend them to anyone. Thank you for doing such a great job!
I have used Northstar for my last two moves and been nothing but impressed by their service, professionalism and value. I worked with Alice and she did everything that she could to make the move as affordable as possible, from helping me schedule it during the week (instead of the weekend which was slightly more expensive), to getting me a repeat customer discount. These guys are focused on customer service, not nickle and diming people to death. Look at all the reviews and it is obvious that they are in this business for the long haul. The three man crew moved my two bedroom apartment from Long Beach to Costa Mesa in under four hours, even with double drive time. We were all packed and ready for them, but they still took care of all of the furniture, televisions, appliances, etc. For what this company charges, and for as excellent as their results are, you would be a fool to not use them. A couple hundred bucks is well worth not having to deal with truck rental, tracking down people to help, etc.
NorthStar moving was amazing. It started with the great and easy customer service I got from Steffy over the phone and ended with the fastest, easiest move ever. They made multiple stops for me and we’re super accommodating. We had two pick-ups and were done within three hours. NorthStar Moving was so good, I hired them again two weeks later to move couches and a bed from my sister’s house. Steffy was great again as were the movers and the Yelp coupon I purchased made the deal even sweeter. I not only used them again personally, but will recommend them to anyone looking for a great moving experience.
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!!!!
After deciding to move 60 miles away we considered having a moving service assist us with our transition. The task of finding the perfect company was overwhelming with the reputation of scams and bad service many moving companies have our there. I found Northstar on Yelp and after researching their company with several sources, I took the risk. The first step was with the on site estimate representative who comes out and assess all of things you are moving to give you an estimate for services. Then they give you a “not to exceed” price estimate which truly was a major perk compared to other companies. I took the risk and words can not express how they made our move “easy as pie”. The 5 man, 2 Truck team arrived on time, worked efficiently and completed the entire job in less time than expected. My family watched in awe and relaxed on the side while they loaded all of our things, packed them safely and transported them to our new place. When they arrived at our new place they place all of our items in the correct rooms and even assembled some things. Moving is very stressful and the assistance of Northstar truly made a difference! With high gas prices, distance and not enough manpower a moving service was the best choice. If you ever consider moving, call Northstar, they were worth every penny!
NorthStar Moving Company did a tremendous job on my move. From calling the office and speaking with Alice, to having Ron come out and giving me an estimate, along with the movers both in LA and the East Bay they were fantastic. Alice and Ron were both quick to respond to my emails and phone calls. The movers in LA were polite, courteous and efficient and I can say the exact same about the movers in the East Bay. I finally got around to unpacking all my clothes about a week after I moved in. I soon realized I was missing a suitcase with some clothes. I grabbed the inventory sheet and quickly realized it was item number 24 that was missing. I emailed Ron that night with the information on my missing bag, he responded almost immediately at like 9:30pm and said he would follow up with me in the morning. By 8:30am the next day he had tracked down my bag and it was delivered to me that afternoon by JC. Lesson learned on my part I should have been checking the inventory list, but their ability to locate the bag and return it to me less than 24 hours from the time I realized it was missing speaks in volumes. NorthStar will be my moving company from here on out.
I have moved way too many times and have gotten hosed each time!!!!!!! I saw this company on yelp, and could not believe all good reviews. I called and had the guy give me an estimate, which was very fair. The day the movers came..3 guys, and they were so efficient… I would have bet money that they had worked together for years! So I asked the guy ‘how long have you worked here?’ he responded ‘5 days’ lololol I was completely impressed… These guys were literally jogging up and down the steps to make sure it was done in time, and I even ended up paying a little less from the original bid. (I didn’t know that was possible.. Lol) This company is great and would recommend them to anyone…. And if I have to move again…I’m calling them!
These guys are great! customer service was on point and the movers that came were respectful and hard working. Ok.. So I had to move two storage units worth of my junk in two different cities long beach and la palma to another storage unit in monterey park (consolodate). talk about moves… so any way.. these guys came to work, though they were amazed at my hoarding ( i could tell by the look in their eyes…lol) they didnt say a word and got my junk into the truck.. they unloaded with speed and efficiency… very polite and professional… I would use them again. five thumbs up!!!
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.
Recently i had to help my mother move from her assisted living center to a nursing home and part of that move required me to move some large furniture items to a storage facility. So i needed to find a moving company and of course, one that would be trustworthy and exhibit a high level of customer satisfaction. I began my search using Yelp.com and noticed a number of apparent satisfied customers. The customers seemed very happy with Northstar’s service so i decided to research their Better Business Bureau rating and that reflected a high level of satisfaction as well. So i decided to go with Northstar. The process of contacting Northstar was very simple and quick. I decided to use their website and entered a estimate request. Very quickly a representative named Stefy called me back with some questions and she was very polite and answered all the questions i had. After several more communications we were set for our move date. The move date went very smoothly. The 3 guys assigned to my job were very friendly and communicative. They completed our job efficiently and took special care to shrink wrap my fragile items for the trip over to the storage facility. All in all, the job only took about 2 hours with another hour for a special run to drop off a chair at my mothers nursing home facility. I was extremely happy with their work and their efficiency. I would highly recommend Northstar to anyone who needs to undertake a move.
The crew showed up on time, and got everything moved out in just about 3 hours from door to door! My tip to you is if you know exactly what date you’ll be moving, book early so you get a better hourly rate. I know we’ll be moving again in about a year and that we’ll be using northstar again.
A co-worker referred me to NorthStar and they did not disappoint. When I called for a quote, the representative informed me that if I chose NorthStar, that I should go on Yelp and get the coupon. They didn’t have to do that but it showed that they wanted the business. The day of my move, they arrived early – better early than not at all. They came in under their quote and were super efficient. Very courteous and professional. I would definitely use them again!
The best experience I’ve had with movers and I will only use them. When I first booked them, they gave me a window between 12 and 6 pm, but told me they would call an hour or so before. I got a call the day before confirming the appt. for next day and went over the details (address, supplies, etc). The day of, they called an hour in advance, they showed up on time, and an hour into the move, a representative from the office showed up with a bag of treats and wanted to make sure everything is going well. I thought it was a nice touch. The whole move went without a hitch, the guys were professional, nice, and worked quickly. We moved from Van Nuys to Woodland Hills, and all was loaded and unloaded and done in about 3 hours. They do round up, so we paid for 4 hours.
As professional a company from the salesman to the movers and to Wendy in the office as one could hope to find. Northstar is Company owned as opposed to most of the other large moving and storage companies that have franchised or licensed local agencies. The crew who moved us (Eric’s crew) was totally professional, careful and worked non-stop. No talking, joking, or wasting time during the entire day. They were the best workers I have ever seen at any job. Wendy, in the office was a gem and solved any questions that came up. She was wonderful. All in all a pleasant experience to a job that usually is not so much fun to do. Thank you NorthStar.
Northstar is awesome. Alice in the office is very helpful and very friendly. We scheduled a last minute move and she was accommodating and even stayed late on the phone to schedule our move. We had a really big move from two large storage spaces. We used 7 guys and four trucks to move almost 2,000 sq ft of boxes! They started moving at 8:30am and were not done until 11:30pm, believe it or not. These guys were amazing–they worked so hard for so long and were all friendly and professional. It was quite an undertaking and I was amazed that they were able to fit everything-it was like a math problem, fitting all the boxes in. We fed them, bought them drinks and tipped them generously, they deserved it, they worked their asses off! Alice called a few times to follow up and make sure the move went smoothly. I would highly recommend NorthStar. Great Yelp coupons too!
It was my first move here in the U.S., I’ m Italian, and I was a little be scared  not to be able to find the best. I have to say that I really found how to move without any problem ,  in the fastest time ,  having all the information I needed to have. I was lucky because I found NorthStar moving!!!!!!
i recently moved from SF to LA. i was travelling for a few months and upon my return, found a new home in LA. i needed to store my belongings until i was done travelling. one of the reasons i went with northstar is that they will store your stuff within the company, not through a third party like some of the other movers i had contacted.

the northstar movers seamlessly and safely moved my belongings out of my SF flat and moved them to a storage unit until i called them four and a half months later telling them i had found a spot in LA and was ready to move in. they had me moved into my new LA apartment six days after that call. the movers seriously were my saviors! such hard workers and very professional and careful, but quick. they wrapped and unwrapped all furniture in moving blankets and set up any furniture that needed to be reassembled. 

while not the cheapest quote i received from a moving company, the quality and service that northstar provides is worth every penny, and choosing them is one of the best ideas i’ve made. their reviews are stellar for a reason — make sure you do your research before choosing a mover. if i ever need movers again, i will definitely consider northstar!
