We were very satisfied. The movers were prompt, worked quickly, and treated our stuff with more care than we would have if we were doing it ourselves at the end of a long day.
Testimonials
Did a great job. Movers were easy to work with and really nice guys. Worked hard. Thanks for all your help!
I used NorthStar on a recent move and I’m so glad that I did. They showed up right on time and called when they were an hour out to tell me they were coming. They arrived with an extra person and let me know that the extra mover would be no charge. The 4 men packed up and moved me so quickly! They were super nice and great to work with. I will definitely use this moving company again in the future! Super affordable and great team.
We recently called them for moving services. Stephanie did a great job in listening to our needs and scheduling the move. The movers came right on time. They were friendly, thoroughly professional and took great care of our stuff. Everything was packed properly and moved to the new location. I would definitely recommend them.
As we all know, moving can be very stressful, but let me tell you all about King Arthur, Richard and Kevin, these guys knocked it out of the park.
From the moment I spoke with Stephanie Haver on the phone, to the minute that Arthur, Richard and Kevin showed up at my house, things went smoothly.
Usually I spend a lot of time repeating myself and explaining everything that needs to be moved or how it needs to be moved, but not with this crew. These gentlemen showed up on time, with smiles and lots of energy and professionalism.
I didn’t need to hover around them and make sure that things were done properly, because not a single item was dented, scratched or broken.
These guys were great. They were fast, professional and efficient.
We had a long distance move from Los Angeles to Austin Texas and NorthStar was able to help with a last minute change when another mover tried to double their quote. They showed up next day on time, were friendly and professional and moved our goods to Austin without a hitch. Will definitely use them again!
Wow! I could not be more impressed with Northstar. Hard working and professional movers. Alex, Nickolas and Jason were are personable and pleasant on top of everything else. Never a negative comment despite having to carry heavy furnature up 3 flights of steps. Hire them. You won’t be disappointed!

I am way way way way overdue on this review, but wanted to get this out the door before I run out of even more time.

These were the movers that helped move our stuff from Fullerton, CA to Hillsboro, OR. They were super super helpful, friendly, and surprisingly, FAST!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying movers are generally slow, but it’s circumstantial: My pick up location in Fullerton is on the 4th floor and the elevator is slow as all-hell going up and down.
Meanwhile, my drop-off location in Hillsboro OR where I currently live has stairs. TWO FLIGHTS of stairs, cuz it’s a townhome and all.
But let’s focus on the pickup location for a sec.
So the movers gave me a courtesy call 24 hours in advance to let me know they would arrive between 8 and 11 AM the following day.
Came the moving day and they showed up within that time frame as initially promised. I gave Arthur a tour of the premises, handed him my keys, and told him I would not be around because I needed to catch a plane. Long story, I got massively screwed by a different moving company, and Northstar was there to help me out. So, thank you very much there.
Anyway, while I was at the airport a few mere hours later, Arthur gave me a call and wanted to FaceTime me to show me his team’s work (and of course to reassure me that things were going well). I however do not own an iPhone, so FaceTime was out of the picture, no pun intended. I just trusted them.
That trust paid off.
The delivery team that dropped off my household goods in Hillsboro OR a few days ago brought everything with little to zero damage, and they were literally in and out in under 2 hours. And they delivered in the rain, SUPER kudos to them!
But wait, there’s more. When the goods arrived, I noticed that some things that I had packed myself were repacked. I looked suspiciously; I didn’t remember wrapping up my TV in five blankets, but Northstar certainly did! I guess they unwrapped my flimsy one-blanket and re-covered it with five total blankets to really ensure that the TV would not break during transit… Same thing with my bar stools and glass coffee table and such. I’m telling ya, Northstar is thorough as fuck.
So in short, these movers are worth it. If you get a lower quote elsewhere, keep in mind, you get what you pay for. I tried moving with a different company that offered half the amount NorthStar quoted me at, and they completely ghosted me on the day of the move. NorthStar is worth your time and money. Trust me.
NorthStar moving company was awesome for our local move in the east bay. They showed up on time and were very efficient. We had three movers on a Sunday morning and all were extremely professional and speedy. Our furniture was all kept safe and wrapped well to our new destination. The main mover kept me informed throughout the whole process and everything was perfectly smooth. If you are looking for movers in the Bay Area I wouldn’t hesitate in going with North Star for your moving needs. I’m happy with the services from the quote retrieval to the actual move itself, the entire experience was stress free and worth it.
Brandon and Santos were so quick and professional. Easiest move I’ve ever had! Will definitely use them again in the future if we need to store anything or move again.
Came early in the move in window (8-12 window, came at 9:30) and were done in less than an hour.
Thank you guys!
I could not have asked for a better moving experience! I have had to move countless times, and it is always such a hassle, but North Star made the entire ordeal so much easier and stress free. Michael G, Reynaldo S and Eliazar Z were my movers and did an absolutely fantastic job. They were all extremely friendly, and professional. They were extremely careful with all of my belongings and not one thing was damaged, despite having many little fragile trinkets that they had to move. I would absolutely 100% recommend them to anyone that has to move. Michael, Reynaldo, and Eliazar could not have done a better job!!
Five stars all around!!! We were so impressed by NorthStar Moving Corporation. Three movers showed up to our place in DTLA with a huge truck, packed and moved all of our furniture. It was our first time using movers and our movers were so professional, friendly and thorough!
They came with all the necessary materials, wrapped everything really nicely (none of our furniture got damaged) and delivered everything at our house. My husband and I hate moving (who likes it to be honest) but our movers made our experience so easy!
Communication was very easy throughout the whole process – they had called me to let me know they were on their way to our place and the timing ended up being perfect.
I also want to thank the owner of the company who kindly gave me a phone call earlier this week to accommodate our move and even offer us a discount due to a miscommunication. Really appreciated it!!
Highly recommend them! Can’t say enough good things!
I actually had them move for me back in 2017, but after experiencing other moving companies while moving within SF, I can honestly say that NorthStar is one of the best at the best price.
The company was very on time with helping me move from Outer Sunset all the way into SoMa, charging me $169/hour with a minimum charge for 3 hours. As I recall, I did not need additional labor aside from the one they had set me up with, but additional labor comes at $40/hour/man, which is reasonable.
I remember calling in and telling them I mainly needed to move my bed, TV stand, 40-some inch flatscreen, and a couple of nice dining room chairs, so I had a fairly small but effective and efficient crew come and move. Although there was no additional charge for the use of blankets, dollies, and piano boards, I ended up using some boxes and bubble wrap that the company provided for a reasonable price (and got to keep).
I was not at home at the time of the move, but my family took care of the move and said that the movers came on time and that everything transitioned all my stuff over to my new apartment in under two hours. By the time I got home, I just had to unbox and unwrap everything and clean up the apartment.
Very hassle-free and stress-free move, could not have asked for better service in such a chaotic city, thank you!
Wow, best decision ever to go with NorthStar. Edgar and his team showed up on time and ready to do work. Our belongings were shrink-wrapped and handled with TLC.
The quote is quick and easy, and the sales team is prompt and nice to talk to. I paid exactly what I was quoted. The rates are one of the best in San Francisco.
TIP: Move on a weekday bc it’s cheaper!
Our three-man crew were nothing but professional. We encountered some stairs at our new place and hey were champs about it! These guys work hard and don’t waste anytime. They genuinely care about the cost to you, and will try to go at the fastest and safest pace to get the job done. They also know the rules and regulations of double-parking and are considerate of neighbors. Overall great experience and will most definitely use them for our next move! Thanks so much Edgar and team!
What can I say? Edgar and his crew worked the magic! Came right on the dot and got everything done within the span of 3 hours. I liked the double time confirmations, the day before and an hour prior. Great communications and teamwork. The guys knew exactly what they were doing and how I wanted them done.
From reservation to move completion, they made sure things followed through and gave me the best number among the quotes I received. NorthStar’s definitely one of the best movers I’ve worked with and would go back to them in a heart beat.
The 3 man NorthStar team moved my 1 bedroom worth of stuff (~10 small boxes, lamp, air purifier, heater, queen size mattress/frame, backpacking gear, misc) from South SF to SF in essentially 1 hour.
They were careful, speedy and polite. I was a bit stressed about moving but they made it a breeze.
The only suggestion I have is for the scheduler/coordinator to be on the same page with the team on the ground regarding things like their shoe bootie policy (FYI booties need to be provided by the client, not NorthStar).
Thanks!
I have been using for NorthStar for more than a decade and they never disappoint. It’s a three person crew for three hours max and it’s incredible to see what they can accomplish in a short amount of time. The building where I moved was very tricky with a lot of stairs and they moved very heavy items at a space and fast speed.
I just bought a place so I plan on being here for a while but Northstar has alway made my moves easier. I am grateful for the hard work and wonderful attitudes of the crew today and those who scheduled the move. You will be the first ones I call when I move again.
We are beyond thrilled with the work we got from
Andy’s crew! Showed up at the appropriate time, worked fast and were extremely careful with all our belongings taking time to wrap things up awesome so they wouldn’t be damaged in the transport. All had great attitudes, work ethics, and made a long day of moving enjoyable. Do not look any further if you need movers as they will do a fantastic job and are priced very competitively! We don’t plan on moving for a long time!! Lol! But if the time comes we will be calling Northstar Movers again!!
Ours was a big move. 5 bedrooms. Took two trucks and 8 guys 11 hours, including a 45′ drive between our homes. No packing was required as we had packed everything.
It took more time than they estimated but there was no debate about increasing the Not to Exceed estimate.
The crew was unbelievably polite, efficient and thorough.
Highly recommend.
I’ve moved on average once a year for the past decade. Of the many moving companies I’ve experienced, Northstar Moving is solidly the best for quality to price ratio. When I moved for work, the companies my employer paid for were excellent and extremely detailed (numbering each item for packing and unpacking, thorough carpet protection, etc), but they were very pricey.
When I move on my own dime, I’m frugal and always ask around for multiple quotes. Northstar Moving had very reasonable pricing and consistently good reviews. Stephanie, the booking coordinator was professional and quick to respond. I received detailed confirmation emails with all the potential extra costs laid out and optional additional insurance. I also received a reminder call the day prior.
On moving day, the movers came right in the middle of the two hour estimated arrival window. I got a call about the actual eta 75 minutes in advance, and they were even a bit early. Edgar and his team were efficient, moving my 1 bedroom apartment in just under 3 hours, start to finish. For the price, I didn’t mind not having a checklist and some minor carpet scuffs.
I was impressed with how the movers went above and beyond to make sure my furniture was re-assembled and placed correctly. The team was courteous and friendly as well. I would definitely use Northstar Moving again!
This was my first time using movers in SF, and I’m so glad I went with NorthStar Moving. Not only were the rates competitive, but I was pleased with their communication and they also happened to be available a week from when I booked them.
Moving sucks, but this was the easiest part of the whole ordeal. Edgar and his crew were extremely efficient and professional. I originally thought it would be a 2-man crew, but there were three guys! Edgar gave me a call half an hour before they arrived. They made an otherwise hectic day much smoother by showing up on time (my original window was 8-10am and they arrived around 8:45am), wrapping and transporting items VERY quickly, and helping us unwrap items at our new apartment.
I was really impressed with their service and turnaround time. I would recommend them to anyone! If you’re debating going with a moving service or doing it on your own, I’d suggest going with NorthStar. They make the process easy, and it’s money well spent.
They were on time and fast. We got everything to the new place and moved in quickly. Navigating the city and moving apartments are definitely tricky but they made it easy for me and I’ll definitely use them again for my next move!
I liked NorthStar so much the first time, I used them again! This time, I’m moving cross-country (BERKtoBKLYN) and wanted to entrust my life with a company I’ve worked with before.
NorthStar made my life significantly easier, including packing up our whole damn apartment when I ran out of time to do it myself (what? When you work 16 hours a day and someone you know says, “So, have you started packing for your big move?” the only appropriate response is to both laugh at them and also cry.)
Edgar and his team were kind, patient, and professional. And did I mention that they actually packed up my whole apartment in a matter of hours?
As I mentioned in my first review, it isn’t cheap. But also, you should probably expect that a white glove moving service is pretty damn extravagantly priced (I legit sat in my car doing a crossword while they worked, feeling increasingly guilty that I had ruined their day by leaving my apartment in disrepair). But if you can get it together to pack ahead of time (to which I will call you a show off), and even if you can’t, they are very transparent about costs and it’s totally worth it for peace of mind. I mean look: I moved today, and I didn’t even cry once!
Movers were great! On time! Great service! Will definitely used again!
Jimmy Jonathan & Eddie….great service! These guys were A+ got our move done on time, made it easy! They were troopers! We’d estimated 5 hrs and they were able to complete the move in our estimated time!
