This was our first time hiring movers and we were a bit nervous. We checked with a few companies, but finally settled on NorthStar primarily because the price was right and the reviews were good. And we are so glad we did! The crew, Daniel, Arie and Elias were amazing! My boyfriend and I would definitely request the same crew for our next move. They were efficient, professional and hard working. They worked together well and got the job done very fast.

Also, the other companies we checked with made a big deal about the fact that the apartment we were moving out of was on the second floor with 3 flights of stairs and about 50 yards of sidewalk to the truck. But with NorthStar and this crew it didn’t even come up. There were no complaints or remarks, they just got the job done and were pleasant the whole time.

We would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Thanks guys for a smooth and painless move!

I’ll title this one as RAN AND HIS CREW ARE AMAZING!

As an interior designer I get lots of odd “projects” thrown at me when least expected – this was a big one…

I had 24 hours notice to move the entire contents from a model home in Los Feliz to another building in Korea Town.  A friend had recommended Northstar to me once long ago, but hadn’t had a need for them until yesterday.

I called and was transferred to Ted as my rep, who was fantastic and extremely helpful.  I expressed the urgency and he got me booked for 8AM this morning.  Even though I was given a window of “8AM to 10AM,” knowing I was desperate my phone rang promptly at 8AM announcing the movers.

I was greeted by Ran, who is now my one and only mover.  Again, RAN AND HIS CREW ARE AMAZING!  Organized, motivated, and helpful, Ran made for me what could have been something overwhelming into an absolute breeze – he and his crew went far beyond the call of duty for me and I couldn’t be more appreciative of his efforts.  

Overall pricing I thought was very fair considering we were transferring an entire household from one location to another, but the service itself was priceless.  

If you want excellent service, expert and careful moving with a friendly, fun and helpful crew, call Northstar and ask for Ran and his crew – you can’t ask for better!

I have moved 3 times in the last 3 years! This is the first time i used NorthStar Moving and i am a customer for life. They were on time (even early) and very very nice. You have to ask for Guy Hacyma as your foreman. He was professional and kind and made sure it was all taken care of. The 2 other moved (forgot names…sorry) were excellent. They took care of my things and packed everything up so that nothing at all was damaged or broken. They were fast, reliable, and i will use them again. Moving can be a stressful time and these guys made it an easy day.

So, having moved here and there five times in the last four years, I know me some moving, and I have to give Northstar five stars, because both times I used them, I was so happy with their service I wanted to cry. And the other two times I used someone else, I was so furious I wanted to cry.

Omar and his two guys, Alfonso and another gentleman, were on time, very professional, not slow, and did not overestimate time, mileage, tape usage, anything like that. They even pointed out the piece of furniture that the other movers had broken, and treated it with tender loving care.

This past move, in May 2009, was just across town in LA, but the previous time was from SoCal to NorCal, and both times I had no complaints whatsoever. The guys coming to Northern California even stood in the bushes and on a fence and hoisted my oversized sofa up and over the balcony when it wouldn’t fit in the door. My new neighbors watched in amazement because they didn’t have to do that, but they did.

I guess that’s what makes them good, they get the job done, even if the elevator door has to be held open, or if the sofa’s too big, or if a box starts to fall apart –  they handle it professionally!

And Northstar Movers came to town when they said they would. I never realized that movers can be so irresponsible as to arrive with your stuff days, even weeks, after the promised time.

Northstar does not disappoint in any area, from Yolanda on the phone, to the actual movers, who are very courteous, professional and kind. I will be using them again!

I have lived in 5 states in 10 years so I move a lot.  I relocated from the heart of LA to Sherman Oaks, CA today and I read ALL of the reviews beforehand.  I have to say that this was the GREATEST experience I’ve ever had with a mover and I’ll tell you why:
First, Ben, the guy who gave me an  estimate arrived to my home ON TIME and was patient and friendly.  He gave me an accurate account of the cost.  The company emailed me and called me to confirm TWICE.  I was given an arrival time of 8am-10am on a SATURDAY at the END of the month which is prime time in the summer.  The crew, with Joel and his three guys arrived at 8:08 with a pleasant, reassuring manner and these guys got to work and didn’t stop until we were done.  Two potentially sad moments were (1) the refrigerator that wouldn’t fit into the kitchen (because of a design issue with the countertops) and (2) the couch that wouldn’t fit in the elevator.  He took my couch up three flights of stairs.  Joel and his crew MADE IT HAPPEN and I was sooooo happy because many other people would have quit.  I have to tell you, nothing got broken and they were very professional.  I plan to use them again SOON as I overpacked and will need to put some stuff in storage now.  Hey Northstar…do you discount for happy repeat customers?  This is my first yelp review and I’ve been a member for about 6 months I think.  I cannot say how happy I am.
