I can’t say enough good things about NorthStar. They were so professional, both over the phone and in person…the 3 guys (yes, THREE guys, at the same price most companies quoted me for two) that showed up to move our stuff were super friendly, punctual, and efficient. They finished the move in record time, and the final charges were less than half of what we (over)paid the last time we relocated – AND we had much less crap that time around!!! Definitely recommend – great company.
I made a move from Los Angeles to Iowa about one month ago for a new job. My friends gave me multiple options- drive a U-Haul, ship my stuff via USPS, or hire movers. Having carried boxes and furniture up and down multiple flights of stairs in a recent move, I clearly remembered the body aches and pains I suffered in the days that followed. I decided that I was going to hire a moving company this time!! Since I had never hired a moving company, I had no clue where to start. I looked at many of the available companies and most of the quotes were similar. I went with NorthStar for the following reasons: they had good ratings and reviews and their representative, Kat, called me fairly quickly after my online quote inquiry. The communication with Kat was clear. I specified that I would like my belongings to be delivered during a certain time period and although she could not guarantee a delivery date, she said the driver would try his best to get my stuff to Iowa when I requested. I was in contact with dispatch and the driver of my belongings a few days before the delivery, 24 hours before delivery and also the morning of the delivery. My driver was excellent and moved ALL of my belongings up 4 flights of stairs by himself, and on the exact weekend that I had requested even though the weather was cold and snowy. All of my belongings were present and in the same condition as when I had last seen them. My bed had been wrapped well by the movers so that it would survive the trek. My driver set up my bed for me as well as the frame. Price was very reasonable and I was able to use my credit card for the transaction. I will definitely use NorthStar for any future moves.
I’m very pleased and satisfied with North Star Moving. We got a Not-To-Exceed estimate, and rather than going cheap/lazy, the 4 guys that they sent, went right to work, and worked well. We bought a few boxes, but they ended up giving them to us for free, and they also brought extra blankets, and a wardrobe. All in all, the actual price after the move came to be $200 less than the not-to-exceed price. Not bad…
This was far and away the best move I’ve ever had. I’ve moved a lot over the last few years, and NorthStar exceeded all of my expectations. The movers arrived promptly, worked quickly, and were helpful and pleasant. It wasn’t the easiest move either, as I moved into an apartment with a narrow staircase so much of my furniture had to be hauled over the patio deck and through the sliding glass door. All of my furniture was handled with care and they did not nick one single thing. I was completely moved into my new place within three hours. I couldn’t have asked for a better moving experience and will recommend them highly.
a job well done! estimate was for 6 hours and the job was done in 3. no breakages guys were very nice and professional. very helpful. hope to use you again when necessary. great job!
We were so impressed with this moving company! Being new to LA with every aspect of the city so foreign to us, it is hard to know who to trust. Luckily our daughter who lives in LA had used North Star to move both her business and homes. She gave them the highest recommendation, so we knew we would be in good hands and we were. They are prompt, right on time. They are amazingly fast and courteous. They are very helpful finishing all the things you think you’ve completed and realize you missed some items. They are very patient, as I’m sure they are used to dealing with a lot of the same issues all of the time. We have no complaints, only praise. They are very professional in the office as well. The contact person we dealt with was Kat Alexander and she kept us up to date from start to finish. She emailed us detailed costs, lists of things we needed to do to be sure we were ready, and reminders of the upcoming date. Her follow through was amazing. I would recommend this company to anyone, especially to newcomers to the area who can rest assured they are in very good hands. Honest, hardworking company that does what they say they will do. We will use them without hesitation for our next move. Thank You North Star for making our move so easy!!
Very reasonably priced and responsible about calling prior to arriving. I appreciated knowing exactly what I was paying for and when I needed to plan to be home. A good man by the name of Gadi helped me with a condo move that i had to do. The move went by flawlessly and i couldn’t have asked for better service. The movers were also so nice and good natured. They helped me disassemble and move my bed out. As well as wrapped everything in plastic wrap to keep everything safe.
I’ve used Northstar morning many times over the last few years (for local and long-distance moves) and with each move they’ve over delivered and been a joy to work with, from start to finish. I’ve also had the opportunity to refer them to countless of my real estate clients. Each time, the clients have thanked me for the referral and told me Northstar made a usually difficult task so much easier and more enjoyable. Thank you, Northstar, for all your assistance over the years and for being such a valuable referral resource. I would never consider calling any other moving company.
I have moved with Gadi Avziger from Northstar 4 times in the past 7 years! Seriously, my husband’s work makes us move a lot, and these guys have made it easier and easier with every move. Service is incredible, they are so careful with our expensive furnishings, and they stick to the estimate. The teams (one day before to wrap stuff, and take furniture apart, the next day to actually move) were professional, clean and polite. Nic frequently oversees the actual move, and we love him as well. Professional, courteous, and no surprises. they work with us to make sure all costs are fair and we understand where they are coming from…would not use any other company, nor work with anyone aside from Gadi!
495 Productions has been using North Star for years. We shoot several productions a year and they are the only moving company we trust. They are always very professional, super speedy and provide great rates. They’ve always kept our productions on schedule and under budget. Gadi and crew are always amazing! They take special care of all our pieces. The wrapping and packaging of our things is always impeccable. Everything arrives unbroken and in mint condition. Moving for any reason, personal or business, is stressful and knowing Gadi and his crew are taking care of everything from packing, to safely transporting and moving items into the new location, is a great relief. We love North Star so much that several of our employees have used them for their own personal moves. We consider them family! We can’t recommend any better. North Star is the best in town!
