I have used NorthStar Moving two times in the past, and as a loyal client and big fan I knew that I could trust them with something as valuable as my family’s move. We recently had a baby, and with an expanding family, moving became both necessary and more challenging. However, from the first call to the last few boxes, their service was exceptional! The movers worked hard, the office team followed up throughout the move, we felt like the move was just as important to them as it was to us. We moved locally within the same neighborhood, but I don’t think I could have done it without NorthStar Moving. This was definitely the best moving experience ever! In these tough economic times you have to make sure you get value for what you are paying for, and I am happy to say that my move with NorthStar Moving is definitely worth it. Not only did they get the hard work taken care of, but they gave my family and me peace of mind, which in a move is priceless. I am such a big fan, I want everyone to try them, so I’m posting this review on every internet review site I can think of! Thank you NorthStar!

They were professional, prompt and I didn’t notice any damages. Their customer service (led by Wendy on the phone when I called for a reservation) was friendly and personable, and made me feel that I could trust them.
The people on the phone and on the actual move were all awesome. Tori helped me on the phone she was great in getting me through the options and Guy H. and his crew moved my crap fast. Get the extra mover guy to help out; 3 people is just a small upgrade in price, but it goes much faster.
They have moving blankets and tape and can help you get everything squared away and are great about wrapping tv’s, mattresses, etc. Reasonable price too; worth the cost so you don’t have to bug your friends to help and the truck rental etc.
Moving is always going to suck, but these guys make it suck less.
Spoke with Wendy 5 days before the move and she quoted me an hourly rate based on how many guys she though I would need. Gave me 5% off for being a yelper. She told me the guys would be at my apartment between 8am and 10am. 4 guys lead by Joel showed up at 8am on the dot the day of. Had my old apartment packed into the truck in 3 hours. It was amazing how quickly yet carefully they took all my staff away. And it only took them 1 hour to put all my staff in my new place.
They performed well beyond my expectation. Five stars!

I chose to have them pack me up and it was by far the best $800 I spent to save my sanity. Just to give you Yelpers a frame of reference, I moved out of a studio – thus the lower pricetag. From start to finish, Ricardo and his crew member worked efficiently and barely even took a break. They were gracious and made sure everything was thoroughly protected and labeled. I believe my move took a grand total of six hours. And this was me not packing a SINGLE THING – they did ALL the work.
When I made the reservation, the staff was helpful and thorough and gave me an incredibly accurate estimate of how much it would cost. They were very flexible when I made some changes a few days before.
I would definitely recommend them to all my friends and will be using them again the next time I move. Awesome job!
I went with Northstar based on the Yelp reviews. Now I’m glad to share the good word. No need to look anywhere else.
Thanks Northstar
We recently moved from Southern California to Northern Oregon, and used Northstar moving after doing tons of research. We’ve never used a professional mover before, and after hearing all the horror stories from everyone and their mother, we decided to give Northstar a chance based on their staggering number of positive reviews.
I won’t go too far into specifics, but needless to say, I’m so happy we decided to go with Northstar. The experience was just fantastic. There was no drama, so surprises, and the professionalism was second to none.
Wendy at the main office was so helpful and completely willing to answer any and all of my myriad of questions. Angel and his team in LA were fast, efficient, and curteous. And Walt and his guy up in Oregon made the drive in three days, and unloaded everything within two hours. They even negotiated some rather sharp turns with the 18-wheeler in our new parking lot with total ease.
And aside from some minor bumps and bruises, our stuff arrived intact, and nothing was lost. Only two small things broke, but they are unimportant, and totally my fault based on how I packed them. So no harm done.
So thanks Northstar, you really made an incredibly stressful situation so much easier to handle. When you don’t have to worry about your stuff getting lost or broken, being held hostage, or if/when it’ll show up, you can really focus on the important things during a move. I’m recommending Northstar to everyone that I know back in LA, and if you’re reading this review, I hope you’ll give them a chance.
They showed up right on time and ready to work. They did not dally or take unnecessary breaks. They were careful; we had one minor incident where a piece of our credenza chipped off, but it was already damaged so we weren’t surprised at the chip and do not hold them responsible. They were also polite and had extremely positive attitudes, despite impending rain and difficult conditions (see below). We worked with Ariel and two other guys (Carlos was one, but I forgot the others’ name).
In the end, even with the logistical problems, the price was $150 less than we were quotes by the flat rate company. This is remarkable because we ran into SERIOUS logistical problems on the move-in end — we were unable to lock the elevator, so we had to share it with others while we moved in. This slowed the movers down considerably (although they tried their best to deal with it and — despite it not being their fault whatsoever — continually apologized for not being able to move as fast as they would like). If we had not had to deal with this elevator issue, I am sure the price would have been much lower, still.
In sum, the movers worked efficiently and carefully. We trusted them with our things and felt at ease with them in our apartment. I definitely recommend this company and would use them again for sure.
