Since living in Los Angeles for the past 11 years, I’ve had to move a total of five times; Ranging from studios, to apartments to houses. But my most recent move was BY FAR my best experience to date. I had read about Northstar Moving on line and was immediately impressed with their ratings, but it wasn’t until the actual move in day that I was truly blown away. First off, Ron Cohen was the person that I dealt with from the very start– He came to my house to give me an estimate, which ends up being the MAX that you will pay, no matter how long it takes to do the move. He was amazing to deal with, was professional, smart and new exactly what it would take to get the job done, as well as ease my fears from past bad experiences. The quote he gave me was reasonable and made sense and proved to be exactly what we needed for our move. On the day of the actual move, three men showed up at my door, ready to work. They were fast, efficient, very professional and most of all, very friendly. They even helped out with little things like helping me carry trash outside, to getting things from our storage on the high up shelves in my garage. Upon arriving at our new house, they were extremely careful about not scratching the furniture nor the walls. I’ve never seen movers take such gentle care of boxes and antique furniture in my life! Sometimes they would take more than 10 minutes just to carry something up the stairs, all in an effort to make sure not to scratch or damage the item! I give Northstar a five star rating, but honestly, if i could give it ten stars, I would. They are truly the best moving company in So cal and I would never use anyone else.
I was “blown away” by the customer service that I received from the moment I made my first call to ask for a quote, to the last time I saw the great guys who had helped with my move, pull away from the curb… of my new home!!! This was not an easy move, I lived in a high rise, which meant the guys had to wait for an elevator, every time they need to go up to my apartment, or down to their moving truck. They were always polite, and professional. I am an “older” single woman, and they treated me with the utmost respect. I would gladly recommend them to anyone who is contemplating a move. I really want to thank Agustin Guido, Ignacio, & Pedro for all their hard work in getting me into my new home. NorthStar Moving………..Rocks!!!
I received a quote from Ron Cohen a few weeks ago moving from LA to Houston. To be honest, the quote was more than I could afford and I decided to get a UHAUL and move myself. When I got to my apt in LA I looked around and thought, ‘I must be crazy’, so I emailed Ron and asked if he could send 4 guys and at least help me load my truck. I would drive it myself. He fit in my budget and THANK GOD! The guys were amazing! They were non-stop, worked so hard, were so professional and packed my truck perfectly. We didn’t think everything would fit at first, and lo and behold there was EXTRA room! The mover said it’s like playing a game of TETRIS 🙂 The thing that impressed me most was even after having to move HEAVY things down 5 flights of stairs (YES, my elevator was broken), the guys had a smile on their faces the entire time. I was totally impressed and grateful for the guys, their attitude and their professional moving. I had some very expensive items and I chose to spend the money to protect them and have them moved correctly – and I’m so glad I did.
I was recommended by a friend to work with Gil. He was so professional and so honest. He always responded to my inquiries quickly and was such a great help! He was able to help me save a lot money becuse he gave me such great packing tips! I moved from LA to Texas and all of my belongings arrived safely and in a timely manner. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone who is moving to work with Gil. He is great and the movers were so professional, helpful and friendly. Everyone at Northstar has a positive and professional attitude. I would definitely use them again!
North Star moved my offices 13 years ago. I was so impressed back then that I’ve held on to their card. They did not disappoint me on this move either. At every step of the process North Star did exactly what they said they were going to do, there were no surprises. That to me is the definition of professionalism. From the person who answered my phone call to schedule the appointment, to Ron Cohen who wrote the estimate, to the team who did the actual move; everyone was terrific. Whenever I move again-for business or for personal-I’ll be calling North Star again
Northstar was amazing. Not only were they reasonably priced and treat you like royalty, but they do an incredible job and are extremely careful and professional. Make sure to ask for Ilan – he’ll make sure you’re treated right. It was my second time moving with them, and I won’t use another company.
Gadi Avigzer and his team are absolutely terrific. Their attention to detail and the care with which they move you is really something. They move your stuff as if it were there own. We will use them again and it’s no surprise that they have a number of references and repeat customers. They are not the least expensive, but they are the best. Save yourself the headaches of the bargain guys. I couldn’t believe how helpful and considerate they were, even to some elderly relatives and to the kids. Gadi and his team are honest and are incredibly hard workers. We are recommending them to everyone. We found them on Yelp and now we’re converts raving about them on Yelp as well.
I had a really great experience with Northstar. They were well-priced and very professional. Everything was packaged well and delivered with no damages. I highly recommend them.
Ours was a very difficult move with a lot of antiques and breakables. Ron Cohen and his team handled everything with care, yet got everything done in record time. I am so grateful for their expertise, and so impressed with their level of service.
I have used the services of NorthStar Moving on 3 different occasions and have found them to be the most professional, friendly, accommodating, efficient and most wonderful movers that I have ever dealt with. My contact for all 3 moves was Gadi Avigzer. He was terrific. Throughout the process he made sure to make the process easy and stress free. The crews performing the service on all 3 occasions were efficient, courteous, neat and friendly. I have nothing but high regard and kind words for Gadi Avigzer and NorthStar Moving.
If I was to ever write a documentary on good customer service, North Star would be a case study. Professional and friendly at every link in the chain (which is rare even for good companies). Their rep Ted was attentive. Their estimator Ron C. was thoroughly detail oriented and patient enough to walk me through everything he was putting into his estimate and why. Last, but not least, Richard H. and his crew were the best of the best. Punctual, efficient, polite, friendly, and careful with our valuable items, they were pretty much everything you want out of a moving crew and then some. They showed up right on time and were ready to get working the minute they stepped through the door. I couldn’t even believe how fast things were disappearing from my box filled living room. Now before this, when Ron gave me his estimate, I almost choked on my drink. But I’m the type to pay for quality, so I beefed up my budget and readied myself for the pain. However, the best surprise was at the end when it came in under time and under budget. Thanks North Star!!! P.S. – There’s a few other areas of modern commerce that could use your golden touch. I’d gladly take my car to a North Star Auto Repair. Food for thought 😉
Everything from my first call to the last box moved went smoother than expected. NorthStar – from Jon to Ilan and especially to Richard and his crew – is super customer service oriented. Calls were readily returned (if in the rare instance that I had to leave a message), appointments were easily made and convenient around my schedule, and each step along the way NorthStar actually made moving a pleasant experience. Richard and his crew showed up 15 minutes early, letting me know they were ready when we were. Each box and piece of furniture were carefully attended to, as if each were the team’s own personal property. They were quick, worked hard each minute of the day, and never tired of my requests to move one box to another room or help perfectly center something along the wall. Friends recommended NorthStar, and am I sure glad they did. I highly recommend NorthStar as well.
This company is as good as it gets. Efficient, professional and curteous. Ron came out to answer questions and give us an estimate. We came in $300+ BELOW! Anytime I had a question, Ron responded with lightning speed. The movers were fast and courteous. Not one item went missing or broken and not one scratch on our nice wood furniture! I know who I’m using next time we move… Book ’em!
There guys were great! I moved from L.A. to Ct. when the weather could not have been worse but Ron Cohen in L.A. was an excellent representative who was always there to help and answer questions. The driver Jean Charles Sala was superb and loaded my things expertly and drove cross country through many blizzards and delivered everything in tip top shape. He was amazing and the crews on both coasts were terrific as well. If you’re looking for a great moving company with profressional and honest people at a great price then North Star is for you.
NorthStar THANK YOU!!! I am 8 months pregnant and we moved last weekend, this is something I was really dreading but it proved to be a seamless and stress free experience. I posted an inquiry on their website and within a few hours someone contacted me. Barak Cohen came over within a day to give us an on site estimate, He was extremely professional and easy to deal with. I got another quote from another moving company however the initial service and estimate I received from Barak made the decision to go with Northstar extremely easy. On the day of the move the movers were prompt and they began packing everything for us, quickly and carefully. They sent 4 people which was great for a 2 bedroom apartment. My husband and I just relaxed and watched. They bought all our things over and began unpacking and placing everything where it belonged even our clothes were hung in the closet (they hung our clothes in special wardrobe boxes so they didn’t crease at all). Jaime, Erick, Alejandro and David you were AMAZING and made it such an easy day for us. We appreciate your hard work and professionalism. I would definitely use Northstar again!!
Northstar is a 5 STAR moving company!!!. I used them several times in the past for different clients (Office moves) and was very pleased with their performance. Gadi has proved to me again and again that I can trust him completely to get the job done. Gadi is a hard working individual, very detailed and super involved in everything related to the move. He will hold your hand through the process to ensure smooth experience. He showed up onsite the day of the move and made sure everything was handled properly and that my clients were happy.
From my first phone call with Ted – to meeting Gadi and then the fabulous crew of Oscar and the guys – it was the easiest move I’ve ever done! It is a real pleasure to work with professionals and they were fairly priced. (they even came in UNDER their estimate and this was a two truck move!) Plus – their customer service is A+! It is so nice to work with people who you feel actually like their job! I highly recommend them. And have already hired them AGAIN for a smaller move this weekend!
NorthStar Is an excellent moving company. The best I have ever encountered in all my 26 years living in California. I have used NorthStar three times and each time they have provided me with excellent service. Ron Cohen the estimator has hit my budget and target hours right on the nose. The moving staff is excellent in the manner that they wrap your furniture with such care better than when it came from the manufacturer. The movers are on time, they move rapidly and adhere strictly the the NorthStar standard of care. I will continue to recommend them to everyone I know that needs this service they are EXCELLENT!!!
Excellent Job! My move was on Sunday, Nov. 6, 2011. A steady rain was falling. The two guys and the truck arrived right on time, immediately assessed the move and got to work. They had a great attitude. They worked together perfectly and were friendly and professional. I absolutely give them 5 stars, “as good as it gets.” They took excellent care of my furniture and were happy to put things where I wanted them. They cleaned up after themselves and completed the move in a timely manner. I hope I don’t have to move again anytime soon, but I would definitely call Northstar if/when I do have to move again. Gary
We had a perfect experience with NorthStar Movers. They managed to fill two trucks completely and empty them in one day. The movers were always pleasant and helpful, even at the end of the day. What we did not have packed, they packed and loaded quickly onto the truck. I would recommend NorthStar Moving Corp to anyone for any job no matter how difficult. Ron Cohen helped us set up the move and the process was effortless.
I was the Sales Manager and a Developer Sales and Marketing Consultant for the new high-rise condominium buildings in Marina del Rey all three consisted of 812 total units. I needed to have an experienced Moving Company that would ensure the safe movement of furnishings to and from the buildings especially with many of the properties fetching over $1M in sale value and possessing homeowners with big demands. In addition, the Home Owner’s Associations have demanding requirements for time of operation and use of the elevators in addition to strict insurance requirements. Northstar Moving, from day one over 10 years ago, stood out among all the other movers as Number 1! Their reputation was so great that when they finished the 3rd and last building, the developer insisted on having Northstar Movers as the Preferred Movers for the Developer was under a great deal of scrutiny and had a very demanding schedule for moving owners of almost 100 units into the building in just over a couple months….they needed an efficient and thorough company that also consistently moved homeowners safely and with almost zero flaws….Northstar answered their demands with flying colors! I will always recommend Northstar with an Exceptional rating. William Marina del Rey
I recently moved with NorthStar Moving Corp and had an excellent experience. Most aspects where I had struggled with previous movers were such a breeze with Northstar…I didn’t know this was possible. Right from scheduling to initial estimation visit, Ron Cohen was a pleasure to work with, very honest and up front. When our closing date was delayed at the lenders’ end, Ron even helped reschedule the moving date to a couple days later at our desired times at no extra charge! The moving crew, headed by Nick, arrived right on time and ready to move. We had chosen a ‘full service’ move which included both packing and moving…the crew was extremely adept at packing items quickly and appropriately. The icing on the cake was that the crew finished much earlier than the initial estimates…and at a cost of $100 below the initial cost estimate!! Unheard of… In retrospect, though, if I have to point out any minor improvement areas (yes, they were great, but can be better!), one, they can arrive with better and sufficient boxes (they almost ran out at the end and had to adjust) and two, may be take a couple extra seconds to label boxes better so unpacking is easier. Overall though, I would definitely use NorthStar again for my moving needs in the future…good job!
moving should always be as easy as this. our move date moved more times than i can remember, and ron cohen was as cheerful and accommodating as the time he gave us our original estimate. and btw – they guys did such a quick job on moving day, that the actual cost came in about 35% LESS than the estimate. these guys are honest, work hard, and were a pleasure to deal with. thank you northstar!
I have used Northstar Moving Corp many times to move my business and my home. We even used Northstar to move my mother-in-law, who was very concerned about her “stuff!” Needless to say her belongings were moved without the slightest scratch. I am consistently impressed with the “over-the-top” excellent service that I have always received by the office staff and the guys that actually do the moving. They always seem to treat me as if I were their most important customer, and they handle my stuff as if it were their own. In particular, Gadi. I have always said that I wish Gadi ran other companies because I would continue to be a devoted customer no matter what business venture he took on. It is very refreshing in this day and age to see a company that is so excellent at what they do, and so concerned and committed to needs of their customers. I highly recommend Northstar for any moving needs.
I used NorthStar moving last month for a very rushed, stressful move. A huge wave of stress was released after I consulted with Ron Cohen. The movers were efficient, accommodating, and pleasant. The “cannot exceed” price was fair, and the final cost was far less than expected. This is my third move in Los Angeles (well fourth if you count the one I did for a friend). I used different movers every time. After this experience I’ll never look for other movers again. NorthStar is the way to go! Give them a try. You won’t be disappointed!
