I called NorthStar on short notice for a move at the end of the month in Berkeley, CA. While all the other companies I called were busy, NorthStar was able to accommodate me. Even when I had to cancel at the last minute and then call back the next day to get the move appointment again, NorthStar was flexible and still had the slot to move my family. The team was courteous, efficient, and careful with our fragile pieces. I have used a lot of moving companies in the past few years, and NorthStar was by far the most patient and professional from the first call to the final box. Furthermore, their prices were below the rates of their competition. I give them my highest recommendation.

OK I’ve moved many times in the past always with mixed results. But I have to say hands down these folks have got it together on all levels. From the first phone call, to packing, loading, unloading and set up, Arial and his crew were total pros.

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 just moved from a two bed, one bath place in West Hollywood to a two-level two bed, three bath in West L.A.  We had received a quote of $740 from a flat rate company, but thought we could get a better rate.  In the end, we decided to go with NorthStar and ended up completely satisfied with our decision.  

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.
