Fantastic movers! I bought the Yelp coupon at the recommendation of the representative who booked my move. It was a very good deal- $50 for $100.
Our movers packed up an antique mirror, a 60″ flat screen, clothing (in complimentary boxes), and moved heavy antique furniture (including a piano.) they were friendly, on time, polite and courteous, helpful, and cautious of my things, and speedy! I will ALWAYS move with NorthStar after our experience.
Moved from a 2 bedroom apartment to a new house this weekend. Tim, Manny and Jose took great care of our stuff and did the move fast. Northstar is also very reasonable in terms of price, especially for things like wrapping and protecting your furniture. Other places will totally rip you off with these hidden costs, but Northstar was very upfront and reasonable about it. If it ever comes time to move again, this is the company I’ll use!
Hi Stefy,
Please extend a big thank you to Jason and his team. One goes out to you as well for snagging us the last morning slot on March 1.
We seriously would not have been able to make our move without NorthStar.
Jason and the guys were prompt, friendly and explained every detail of the move – overall true professionals!
Hands down we would highly recommend NorthStar to friends and hire again if we are to ever move.

I have come out of Yelp retirement to write this review because I was so incredibly happy with NorthStars service. When I first called I spoke with Jessica, little did I know she would be my new best moving buddy. She was friendly and patient explaining the whole process to me, answering all my questions, even alerting me to the yelp deal. Anyone that gives you great service and saves you money is good in my book! It was also nice that she called to check in with me pre/post move and knowing that I could call her at any point was very reassuring.
As for the actual move, Diego and his team were amazing. They were friendly and polite and Diego took time to walk around the house with me and listen to my caffeine deprived, hectic move morning, scatter brained plan. Then they took off into action, and once they started moving they did not stop! In fact everything happened so fast, before I knew it I was racing to drive to the new house to open the doors for them.
Once at the new house they were back at it. In fact I had to ask them to slow down so my brain could catch up with them. I was a little frazzled trying to figure out where everything should go, trying to plan for that house warming party I want to have over the summer, my mind wandering and excited for being in the new house. Several times the guys reminded me that they were there to do the moving and that I should stop trying to carry the boxes myself, and that all I needed to do was tell them what to do. They also offered to stay and move everything into the exact place I wanted it, all I needed to do was tell them where.
While I do not plan on moving for a very long while, I will sing NortStars praises to anyone who I know is planning a move.
Awesome crew! Mike B., the foreman with Brandon MC. and Sam R. Showed up on time, negotiated a very difficult situation of getting the huge truck onto my driveway, packed and loaded within the estimated load time (actually 1/2 hour earlier), arrived on time (not missing to call me when they stopped for a 1/2 hour lunch) unloaded within the estimated time and the deed was done! Very cool young men who worked hard and diligently, showed great patience when moving things into the new house and helped move a few things a couple of times. Thank you North Star Moving Company, a stressful day went by easy and smooth! To the young men, Mike, Brandon and Sam, who moved all my stuff, thanks guys you were an awesome team! It was really cool working with you!
Our movers showed up so promptly we were barely prepared for them. A great team of three guys worked quickly to get us moved. The large items were wrapped in blankets and taped to protect them so everything arrived in the condition it left in.
The woman on the phone even referred us to the Yelp Deal which was appreciated. Overall, NorthStar made a stressful, busy day a lot more pleasant.
Thanks NorthStar.
I read the reviews, and NorthStar Moving Company sounded great. They are better than great. They arrived 07:45 for the promised 8-10 arrival. The 3 guys emptied my house so fast that I had to rush to keep up. They were polite and courteous when I wanted to check and re-check that I had gotten everything. Then to my new apartment, and the guys emptied the truck very quickly. I got a 5% discount from my apartment complex, and bought the $125 off for $50 Yelp coupon, so my entire move was very reasonable. Great job, NorthStar!
Sal, David and Oscar helped us move out of our apartment in the Peninsula to our new condo in South Bay. They were hard working and worked very quickly. Lynn helped us coordinate the move and was readily available and easy to communicate with.
Everything arrived at the condo in perfect condition. But what really impressed is that they reassembled our bed without us having to ask. Maybe this is standard but we really appreciated it. They also helped us transport donations to the Salvation Army.
All in all, we were quite pleased with the whole experience, especially for the price. Thank you NorthStar!
Long overdue, but that’s because I was out of the country. North Star is 5 stars. We had Jimmy, Ray and a super sweet guy whose name I can’t remember move us. They were “A” crew material. 3 guys came to move us from a two story house in the Presidio all the way to Berkeley.
-Break down
-Wrap EVERYTHING (no im serious, everything…antique dining room table, king bed, antique secretary….)
-(we packed the boxes….but we were still helping pack when they were leaving)
-Move everything into the truck tightly
-Get everything out of the truck into the proper rooms to the third floor of a building with no elevator
-Work non-stop, take no breaks and have fun doing it the entire time.
At the end of the move I forgot to tell them I had a Yelp deal and they worked it in and even tried making sure I got the lowest rate I could. These guys were super super all stars and seriously worth every penny.
I had called Delancy and One Man and a bunch of other people, but listen — when it comes to moving your stuff — you want quality. Sure other people might quote you less, but the communication with these guys is awesome, they always email/call back and don’t ignore voice mail messages like some other people.
Plus this is now the 3rd time I had someone else tell me these guys are legit. 3 separate experiences by individuals who barely know each other and everyone says these are work super hard and do a great job.
Anna who helped me online was always very nice. She kept reminding me to leave this review and I did need reminding because they set me up so quickly and did everything so well I was able to jump right back into work without a second thought. So while it’s a bit late (my move was right after Xmas) I hope that this helps others understand just how awesome their customer service and moving team is. True Professionals.
OH OH OH …. hardwood floors. Presidio to Berkeley Condo….
These guys really tried to pay attention to NOT nic any floors or hurt the walls. ATTENTION to detail and moving fast? This crew deserves raises for sure.
I have been meaning to email you. I was absolutely amazed and thrilled with Allan and his crew. I think they did an awesome job and were so nice and accommodating. I really hope you recognize them.
I will definitely use you guys and request them if I move again.
Thank you
