We had a great experience with NorthStar, I recommend them wholeheartedly. Ron, the estimator, was quick and efficient – he was able to give me an accurate estimate just by a quick glance around our apartment. He was thorough and willing to answer all of our questions. The day of the move, the movers arrived 10 minutes before the scheduled time, which was a pleasant surprise. We had a three-man crew that moved our 2-bedroom apartment in record time. They were friendly, courteous, and took great care of all of our things. Nothing was damaged in the move, everything arrived in perfect condition. The move ended up costing a little less than the “not-to-exceed” price, which we were happy about. Will definitely use this company in our next move!
Testimonials
Northstar made this supposedly stressful event move an easy one for us. Super professional all the way from the estimate to the actual move. Ilan Dahan came to see us before the move, and explained what is going to happen and gave us ideas and tips. It all worked just like he said! The crew came on time and loaded our entire 5 bedroom house on 2 trucks. Always smiling, always explaining, always double checking that everything is packed and protected properly. The unloading was just as smooth as the loading and in no time we were moved and settled in our new home.
Great moving company!
Was looking for a company to move the office from LA to AZ. They came in and packed everything in a matter of 5 hours or so. They took apart the desks and wrapped each section and labeled the boxes also.
Good customer service, always had an answer anytime I needed them.
Recommended if you are on a budget but don’t have the time to package everything.
Only took them 3 days to move everything from LA to AZ. Very happy with the service.
I recently moved, and after examining all the options (one moving company staffed by ex-cons–SCARY, and one moving company staffed by musicians–EVEN SCARIER), we went with Northstar.
Overall, I was pretty pleased. On the plus side, they were faster and more efficient than the times I’ve gotten friends to move me. On the downside, I couldn’t pay Northstar in pizza.
Additionally, they showed up on time, got the work done, and were generally pleasant guys. They also broke down and reassembled my bed in like 30 seconds flat. Very impressive.
However, in reading the reviews, we didn’t get quite the level of service a lot of other people got. For example, everyone else seemed to get a consultation from some Moving Angel named Ron before their move. Ron made no such appearance at our place, yet we paid same rates.
There were also two scratches left on a bookcase, but it’s kind of a crappy IKEA bookcase, so I’m not too upset.
Overall, the move went well. We got the Yelp discount. We got moved. And we didn’t have to lift a finger. There were just a couple of small things that prevented a five star review.
I have used NorthStar Moving services for both business and my own personal moves to my great satisfaction. Gadi Avigzer is awesome and Managed all my moves thoroughly ensuring everything they packed was undamaged and loaded quickly. I will continue to use their services and highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a mover.

My husband and I moved a short distance within LA. we had our things mostly packed up, and hired NorthStar to move the furniture and all the heavy boxes of our non-precious items. This is the first time we’ve hired movers to help with a move, since I’m pregnant now and can’t help with the furniture, plus we moved memorial day weekend (on a saturday) and didn’t want to bother our friends. I’m so glad we did. Tony, Alejandro, and Carlos were great! They called around noon-ish to say they’d arrive around 1-1:30. they got here at 1:30 and pulled around to the back alley. They took a look at all the stuff we had packed up, and then started moving. Everything was out in ~1.25 hrs, including things I originally thought I would move myself, they just asked if I wanted this moved too, and I said, sure why not. They wrapped the furniture in plastic wrap, taped boxes that weren’t that secure, bubble-wrapped a glass lamp that I thought I would move but ended up letting them take over. I found the wardrobe boxes to be very useful, and I’m glad they re-use them. In the end they didn’t even charge us for the plastic wrap and tape, which I was expecting them to because there was a list of items and prices for non-reusable stuff, maybe they just didn’t use enough of it to warrant charging us. When we got to the new place they found their way to the back alley on their own and moved everything in very quickly. The box spring for our bed wouldn’t fit up the inside stairwell, but they managed to quickly figure out a safe and quick alternate way up that DIDN’T involve one of them standing out over the balcony and hoisting it over to the 3rd floor balcony (a suggestion that my husband and I mentioned, and they briefly entertained). They were done in 3.5 hrs, and nothing was broken or scratched. They were very careful, not even scuff marks on the newly painted walls. Worth every penny for a friendly, reliable, respectful, efficient, and strong moving crew. I have already recommended them to a friend who is moving in a few months. I would definitely hire them for my next move.

Out of the two experiences I’ve had with moving companies, both were positive. The first time around I moved for work so everything was covered by my employer. I didn’t have to pack, transport, unpack, or pay!
This time, I had to foot the bill myself since it wasn’t work-related, )=. Even so, I knew the move would be simple – from a storage unit in West LA to a loft in Downtown – but I had decided that I didn’t want to do it myself or draft friends since it was Memorial Day weekend.
PLUS
– There’s a 5% discount for mentioning you found NorthStar on yelp!
– Everyone I dealt with at NorthStar was customer-oriented. I submitted a request for information on their website and was contacted by phone the next day by Ted – very thorough informing me of their processes. Gil, the estimator, met me at my storage unit and was pretty laid back and friendly. I spoke with Diana and Kat over the phone, who were both very nice. Ricardo and his moving crew were excellent too.
– If you meet with an on-site estimator, you receive a “not to exceed price”. The estimator takes inventory of what you need to move and builds the “not to exceed price” off of that. It is to the line item so you can see the detailed breakdown. To give some perspective, my storage unit was estimated at 264 ft^3 and 1848 pounds. My final price was about 15% less than the “not to exceed price”.
– The moving crew was fast, efficient, and took care of my belongings. It took the three man crew about one hour to load everything on the truck and about one and a half hours to unload. The thing that held them up the most were the elevators; otherwise, I’m sure it could have been even faster.
DELTA
– As previous reviewers have mentioned, the moving arrival window is a bit wide and I didn’t get that window (12 to 6pm) until the day before.
– I received a call from the dispatch center around noon on my moving day telling me that the movers would arrive at my location between 1 and 2pm. Then, I receive another call around 1pm telling me that the movers would arrive between 3:30 and 4:30pm. The time difference surely made a difference in traffic on a Friday afternoon going east on the 10. That said, the drive didn’t take all that long – much shorter than I anticipated actually.
I feel comfortable recommending NorthStar to friends or family, and I will surely seek them out the next time I need to move!
I recently moved from LA to NYC and wanted to share the wonderful and stress free experience I had while using NorthStar Moving Corp. To begin, I was any stress I had was immediately alleviated when Ron Cohen came by two weeks before my move. He was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Before the move, I got a call 24 hours in advance confirming pick up time and another call before my stuff was delivered. As far as the move went; The moving crew arrived on time picking up my stuff in LA, was delivered in NY within 10 days, there were no damages, no hidden fees, and it was fairly priced. On a final note, it was an added touch when I received a call two days later from Ron, checking on how my move went. You can’t beat using NorthStar for a short or long move!
Very professional right from the start, no B.S. no excuses, I submitted an online inquiry, got a response in under an hour, got a courtesy call from Kat (very nice & professional) just to see if I had any questions. I booked a day, got another courtesy call the night before the move. The crew should up ON TIME, very professional, clean and respectful. These guys worked hard! Not a lazy bone in their bodies! They knocked out the job fast. They didn’t scrap or scratch anything! I highly recommend NorthStar, worth every dime!
I had a major move which is a major headache but NorthStar SO great it made it as easy as possible. Ron, one of their reps, came over and estimated everything, took care of all the details and all I had to do was point out what was to go where. NorthStar was also about four to five hours faster than anyone else I’ve ever used. I HIGHLY recommend using them!!!
We moved to Seattle from Los Angeles and Northstar made everything easier! Ron Cohen in particular took great care of us at a great price. If you need to move in or from LA, Ron is your guy!
We used North Star for our most recent move and were very pleased. The in-home estimate came in high. They were punctual, pleasant, and proved well worth the money! They even moved my rather large and crazy dangerous cactus! A great experience. I would recommend them to any one and will be sure to use them again when we need to move. Two thumbs up!
After reading online about moving companies, I was worried about who to choose. North Star was great. To save money, I packed my things myself, but the movers were great, and the salesman who coordinated the move was always available to answer questions.
I used them on a long distance move, and would recommend them to anyone.
OMG!!! Didn’t have to worry….. Moving is so stressful, but not with NorthStar Moving. Ron came by and gave us an estimate; the movers (Tony’s crew) came by on time on Saturday; done in adequate time and very professional and friendly. Living comfortably within 3 days. Thank you NorthStar!!!!!!
I did some research online and went with NorthStar based on their positive Yelp reviews. The team arrived on time and were extremely professional, fast and courteous. It was a really amazing moving experience overall and I would highly recommend NorthStar to anyone!
The movers were extremely professional, careful, and FAST. Very efficient team. I would highly recommend this company.
I’ve moved 6 times in the last 8 years so I know pretty much everything that can and does go wrong in a move.
This time around I was moving from Los Feliz to Santa Barbara. Since this was more than just a simple local move I wanted to make sure I chose well.
Barak showed up at my house for an estimate, made everything extremely easy to understand regarding the process and even though it was a bit higher than I expected I at least understood why and agreed.
The movers showed up on time, were extremely friendly and hard working. At the end of the day they finished well under the estimated time frame, didn’t break anything except for a super cheap Ikea curtain rod that I didn’t want anyway and the cost came in well under the estimate. I gave them a super fat tip and called it a day.
These guys are honest and ethical…something movers aren’t exactly known for.
Bravo Northstar!
Thanks to Ram and his crew for moving my home staging inventory from two different locations to my new warehouse. It was a long day, but everything got there in one piece and the customer service was amazing. I always refer NorthStar to my staging clients who need professional moving services and I’ve never had one complaint! Great job!
Thanks to Yelp for helping me find a GREAT moving company! We found the service to be fast, effective and generally awesome. The rep I worked with, Ron Cohen, came out to do an estimate and made life very easy for us. The movers were amazing! They never slacked, moved quickly and effiecently while ensure that all my stuff arrived and was unpacked safely!
All in all a great experience!
I used NorthStar movers to help me my family move. I was especially concerned because my wife was pregnant and I didn’t want her to do anything, and she really had to do very little.
They were on time, and immediately got busy. They were polite and hard working. The packaged everything well and securely, from clothes to kitchenware, TVs and furniture. Nothing was damaged.
They put everything in place and even helped put up paintings and racks….
By 8 o’clock that night we were completely moved in and settled, it would have taken us at least a month to take everything out of the boxes if we had been alone.
they were amazing
I found NorthStar Moving on Yelp when I was planning a local move in the San Fernando valley. The reviews were positive, so I decided to take a chance. I was glad I did! Ron Cohen, my relocation specialist, did a great job of helping me plan the move, explained the process, and provided an accurate estimate up front that I felt was very fair. We planned my move as a two-day move, with a pack on the first day and the actual move on the second.
On the packing day, the packing crew arrived, professionally dressed and on time, and after introducing themselves and my signing the paperwork, they immediately got underway. I was totally floored by how quickly, carefully and expertly they could pack a large filled residence. What would have taken me a month, they did in about 6 hours. Everything got plenty of protection, padding, paper, blankets, stretch-wrap, etc. They were conservative and used extra materials to make absolutely sure my fragile stuff would be safe. Every single one of them worked nonstop, diligently and with care. I don’t know where they get the energy – I was exhausted just watching them! Ron had arranged in advance for my couch, bed and a few necessities to remain unpacked until the next morning, so I didn’t have to get a hotel room. Very cool!
On the moving day, the same crew arrived, again professionally dressed and on time, and they got underway immediately. Again, I have no idea where these guys get so much energy. Without any delays, they carefully and expertly moved all my boxes, furniture, everything out to the truck, and were very careful in the way they packed the truck and where they put certain extra-fragile items. In no time at all, my residence was empty! They told me they would meet me at my new house – I had to do an errand first and would meet them there shortly.
While I was doing my errand, I got a call from the driver – there was a delay on the highway ahead (massive traffic pileup) and he was diverting to side streets, and suggested I do the same. I mention this because it was a really nice thing for him to do, saving me from getting stuck in traffic.
When we all arrived at the new house, the moving crew did an expert job of moving all of our stuff in. They set up the bed, helped us move furniture where we wanted it, super helpful! When it was all done, we tallied up the bill, and the total was slightly less than what was quoted me! That was a nice surprise.
I felt that everyone at NorthStar did a very professional job throughout my move, from Ron Cohen, who managed the whole experience and made it go smoothly from beginning to end, to the crew lead, who expertly led the packing and moving, to the packers and movers who packed and taped and moved the boxes and furniture. This was a hassle-free, relaxing and pleasurable move at a fair price – an extraordinary value.
These guys were great! I recommended them to a friend and she loved them too. The 3 guys were awesome – fast and careful. They understood that we wanted to finish quickly to keep the price down. Lynn scheduled the whole thing and was 100% on it from start to post-finish. The movers and I forgot to include my discount for using Yelp, and she gave it to me when I realized this a few days later!
When I recently moved I ran into a small problem with the movers that I had arranged and they fell through. It was the 1st, noon and every place I called was booked. After the panic subsided, I luckily stumbled upon Northstar and thank god. I was concerned at first because they were a little pricy but they had movers there within the hour and when it was all said and done it was worth every penny.
The guys wrapped everything in pads and shrink wrap, boxed up anything that was loose. They were really nice, worked hard and got the job done well. I actually went to the ATM to get additional tip money for on top of what I initially had planned on tipping, no joke.
Highly recommend.
I highly recommend NorthStar Moving.
I’ve moved more than a few times, local and across country, and I’ve never worked with a moving company that has been so customer-service focused and easy to work with. They were very upfront with all associated costs and the team of movers provided great service, including packing and protecting.
If you use NorthStar in the LA area, ask if Gilberto, Rafael and Juan are available. I’ll be requesting them for my next move!
This was our 4th move with the company in as many years – and each time we have had an amazing experience. They are professional and organising the move was very easy. It was a painless process and that is a lot to be said for moving a 4 bedroom house. They always arrive on time, are extremely efficient and never damage anything !!! Price is always very competitive and we have recommended this company to many friends and they have all had the same experience. Give them a call – you won’t be disappointed !!!
