I’ve had the pleasure of working with Gadi and the NorthStar moving company a few times now for both television productions and personal needs. I must say that in both scenarios, I found working with NorthStar an incredibly easy and pleasant experience. Gadi is absolutely outstanding, and rarely do you find someone so passionate about their job and who can truly deliver unparalleled customer service. He is knowledgeable, professional, kind, and prompt. I never found it difficult to get an answer or a solution from him. He cares a great deal about the company and the clients and gives everyone such great personal attention. I’ve seen NorthStar move families out of multi-million dollar homes in a day, and I also was lucky enough to have NorthStar move me out of my one bedroom apartment in a few hours. Whether your single and in an apartment or a family giving up their home to a reality show, Gadi and NorthStar both realize how valuable your things are to you, and they pack them delicately, move them out with ease, and make sure you know your things will be well taken care of no matter how long they store them. As a coordinator, I know I can successfully complete my job by returning homes to families the way they left them. As a private client, I know my things are safe and secure, and that I’ll get everything back to me the exact same way I left them. NorthStar is an industry leader in professional moving and storage, and I wouldn’t think of using anyone else. Gadi is a friend and a smart businessman, and anyone or company would be lucky to work with such a great person and successful company.
Sincerely,
Steven Smith
I know it has been a while since your staff moved me from Bakersfield to Monrovia, California, but I did not want it to go unsaid that I was very pleased with your staff, and the way they treated me and my furniture. Please let them know that I ma pleased. I know that I will probably stay in the apartment I rented for one year, but will move again. I hope to re-employ you and your staff again in my future. Again, thank you, and I will recommend you and your staff to anyone I know whom has a need for a moving company.

To Whom It May Concern:
We recently used North Star Moving Corporations (agents for Moishe’s Moving Systems) to move out of our Mercedes Benz dealership, including our parts department which houses thousands of parts and accessories.
We found them to be extremely efficient, economical, and pleasant to work with throughout the entire process.
We moved out of our facility to renovate the building. When construction is completed next year we plan to use North Star once again to help us move back into the building.
Yours truly,
Susan M. Murata
Executive Vice President

I had about five moving companies to choose from when I scheduled my recent move. One was recommended by a co-worker but that company couldn’t fit me in on the day I wanted to move.
NorthStar was my second choice.
After the move, I can say that NorthStar will be my first choice next time. The team they sent for my move was professional, friendly, and worked their butts off. I was really unprepared (packing always takes longer than you think) so I really needed them to step up and help with the packing and moving.
From start to finish, my experience with NorthStar was great and I highly recommend them to anyone who’s moving. They are also very reasonably priced so even a nine hour move with 3 guys was under $800.
It’s not often you find a well-priced service that’s also excellent.
MOVING? Hire these guys. Period.
I first called the highest ranked company on yelp, Delancey, but they were booked. So, I called NorthStar.
Fate.
They showed up to my first apartment EARLY, but didn’t charge me for the time that they were just waiting around for me to get there. I had already packed all my stuff with Earth Friendly Moving boxes (highly recommended), so the 2-man team just loaded everything out. I tried to help, since I wanted to keep it at the 3-hour minimum, but they insisted that I just relax…they powered through!
My bed frame needed to be disassembled to fit through the doors, but they put it back together for me at my new place. They had a great attitude, were extremely professional and very fast. They kept it under 3 hours!
At the end of the move, they rang up my total at $100/hr which was more than they originally quoted me. One of the movers called the office and it was settled immediately.
I have a large collection of crystal glasses. I wrapped them all in the paper and packed them in the boxes supplied by Earth Friendly Moving and NON were broken. I was a little nervous when NorthStar even stacked the ‘fragile’ labeled boxes on top of each other, but was so happy when i unwrapped everything and all was good.
**a note about moving. if you dont want your stuff broken or damaged, pack it yourself. these guys move FAST. If you expect them to gingerly wrap every glass, and then pack it, then unwrap it, the move is going to take hours, then you’ll have to pay a lot. Do as much pre-packing as you can, and I gaurantee the move will be inexpensive, and less stressful too! You can always get friend to help you pack and upack your stuff, its the lifting and physical move that is the biggest burden…
Using NorthStar and Earth Friendly Moving boxes (which I packed prior to the move), I was able to move my one bedroom apartment across town in 3 hours.
The grand total was $432.
The first time I ever remember moving was when I was 5 years old. My parents have never moved since. Yes, they still live in the same house. I do recall one of the guys ended up with a serious back injury from moving the piano. That’s another story in itself. Suffice to say, as a kid, it was traumatic to see, a human in so much pain. Maybe that’s why I ended up working in a hospital?
I wanted give my parents my refrigerator & I had some other items to move. The last moving company I used went out of business. It’s too bad, they were wonderful.
This moving company was very prompt . Moreover they were responsive on the phone & in person. They asked all the right questions. They asked what size place I was moving from & going to in order to determine how many men and what size truck to bring. Multiple stops were needed, from my studio to a 1 bdrm., to a storage place that my friend let me use, to my parents home. I asked “would you please send some really nice guys?” Through it all, they were pleasant, patient & good natured.
I would suggest you know as much as possible, how you want your belongings packed, because they are lickety split, ever so speedy fast. Closely supervise too, because they will ask questions, “is this ok or no?”
They called & forewarned me they were stuck in traffic but would soon be at the 1st stop. They arrived within the originally alloted timeframe at my studio.
They wrapped whatever was necessary, packed what I was too tired to pack (1 closet) & assured me it was going to be fine. They were very quick. Perhaps it didn’t look like a lot to them, but it sure did to me. They said, “don’t worry maam, we have lots of room in the truck.” When I peeked inside the truck, they had about half the truck empty!
I had a bed, padded head & foot board, loveseat, refrigerator, numerous boxes, bins, containers, plants, & wardrobe boxes. I thought I would need 2-3 wardrobe boxes. Ha Ha. They stuffed 9 wardrobe boxes, ca ching.
I had my closet divided into work clothes & play clothes. One of the moving men remarked, “nice work clothes”, I said “thank you.” Then he glanced at the play clothes before loading them into the wardrobe boxes & smiled, “soft & delicate!”
They worked really hard, their attitude was a “can do with a smile, just you sit back & relax.” Even when they discovered a dresser mesh bin assembly that had a wheel which was already broken from years ago, they took it in stride. They didn’t ask me, “why don’t you just get rid of this thing?” Instead, they coaxed the old dresser mesh bin assembly in a gentle manner till it made it onto the truck.
2nd stop was my new place. I requested moving blankets be spread out on my new carpet. They honored that request, again with a smile as they said “no problem, nice place.”
Here’s where I made a mistake. I wished I had asked them to wash their hands or offered them premoistened hand wipes to get rid of the grime on their hands before unwrapping & assembling the padded head board. The man who assembled the head board (upholstered) stained it slightly, however when I purchased it, I bought a lifetime guarantee on it, so it’s a minor issue. If I can’t get the stain out myself, the furniture company will replace the whole padded head board.
3rd stop was the storage space. Dropped off some containers. Here’s where the bill came in. They ran an estimate, because I was not going to the 4th stop. For all this an incredible $732.00
4th stop was a challenge. If you’ve ever been in L.A. gridlock, bumper to bumper, this was it. Just trying to get on the freeway must have been a nightmare. I passed them on the left & saw what they were in for, as the line to the onramp stretched on for miles. I don’t know how they managed it. However 2 hours later they made it to my parents & dropped off the refrigerator.
I figured it took them at least 8 hours. I had bugeted much more than $732 & I think I got a bargain. The moving men were really nice too. Absolutely nothing was broken, despite many bumps in the road & even the glass shelves for the refrigerator. Everything works just fine, even my precious powerful microwave oven.
Credit where credit is due. You people are just the best; from my first contact with you people over the phone I got a great impression of professionalism and courtesy right down the line.
I want to single out for praise Gil and Angel, who did a perfect job of moving from one place to two different places several antique pieces of some value for their quality but even more for sentimental reasons. Gil and Angel were unfailingly pleasant, courteous, and most important, knowledgeable–in short, they knew what they were doing every step of the way.
Gil is a great communicator; he knows how to listen. If I’d make a suggestion, he would either agree or explain succinctly and persuasively the reason he wanted to do it in a way he considered better or safer. (I assure you I really didn’t ask that many questions–or need to– but the point is I was really impressed with how he handled himself as well as he moved and packed my furniture!
He and Angel too reflect very well on your company. They were as careful with my stuff as if they have been hired to move Marie Antoinette’s bed out of the Palace of Versailles! I never would have believed the chore of moving furniture could be made to be such a pleasant experience.
Thanks so much,
Kevin Thomas
This was not the first time I used NorthStar Moving.
I used this moving company a few times in the past, and they always came thru for me in a big way.
It is very refreshing in this day and age to see a company that is so excellent at what they do, and is so concerned with their customer needs and feedback.
The people on the phone are always very nice at NorthStar. They always truly listen to my needs, and then come up with the best moving solutions.
They provided me with their moving services from one place to another in Los Angeles, and then they moved me from Los Angeles to West Lake Village.
The guys that actually show up on the moving truck on the day of the move are always great. They are enthusiastic and always are professional and nice to deal with.
NorthStar Moving is the best moving company in Los Angeles! I will always use them for any move I will ever have, and I will recommend them to anyone that needs a moving company.
Ok, now I’ve been around the block…and I don’t mean in that slutty kind of way! I’ve just had my fair share of movers, especially in Los Angeles…ok, 6 different sets of movers to be exact. Oh all right…5…one company I used twice….you got me there.
Anyway…hands down…and I don’t say this lightly…NORTHSTAR IS THE BEST MOVING COMPANY I’VE EVER USED!
I’ve had some pretty darn Gawd awful experiences with movers and am understandably skeptical when it comes to picking a reputable one. So….I went on-line and after perusing Yelp, I did a Google search and saw some stuff, cough cough, on that OTHER site…City Search…grrr…touting NorthStar as the #1 moving company in the LA area. Well, that just wasn’t good enough for me..had it been Yelp touting it…well, then I would’ve picked up the phone right away! So anyway, I dug a little further…turns out that NorthStar has like an A +++ on the Better Business Bureau’s website! Holy HELL! I think Starving Students had a D or lower which was shocking…so the A +++ totally caught my attention along with the aforementioned Top Ten mention.
So I bit the bullet and called NorthStar…
Seriously, I got the MOST attentive and charming individual on the phone and you could just tell there was pride in his voice…he really loved his job…you could tell! I’ve never heard such enthusiasm…he gave me the low down regarding my move:
minimum of three hours
three guys
white glove service
no hidden charges
packing supplies would be extra…boxes, tape and the like…
wardrobe boxes would be supplied
they’d call me the night before with the exact time in the 2 hour window…
yada yada yada
And you know…they DID! Not only did I get an email confirmation when I got off the phone after booking my moving appointment…I got a call the night before to confirm AGAIN! And my window was 8-10am and they showed up at 10 minutes til 8! Crazy!!
So a one bedroom apartment consisting of a sectional sofa, a SOLID teak armoire, a fridge, a bed, dresser, boudoir, and tons of heavy boxes and misc. furniture moved from a first floor one bedroom apartment to a 2nd floor (with 17 stairs straight up no less!) apartment took just over 3 hours and cost me $375!!
The three guys, bless their hearts, wrapped up everything…EVERYTHING…with moving blankets and tape so it was protected AND they got that heavy ass armoire up the stairs without a scratch!
The move took place on the 5th and today, the 9th, I received a HAND-WRITTEN thank you note from them hoping that all was well, that we were happy with our move and that they looked forward to working with us again in the future.
Now how’s THAT for service?!
Thanks Northstar for making an otherwise stressful occasion a very, very pleasant one. 🙂
I want to express my deepest and most sincerest “THANK YOU” for a job (very) well done. Raz, Giovanni, Arturo and Rojela did a fantastic job this past weekend! To say that it was a difficult move is putting it mildly. Your men had to deal with four steep flights of stairs and moving big heavy furniture to two different locations while my home was undergoing construction – no extra charges for any of it! They worked and moved around the construction crew non-stop – relentlessly! Not once did your crew complain about the difficult task at hand. Your team of professionals did everything and anything to make this move as seamless and stress-free as possible for me. They packed up most of my belongings (I had only packed a few boxes), wrapped my expensive furniture with moving blankets and padding and was extremely careful with everything, including delicate china dishes. Not a single piece of china was broken! Unbelievable.
You can’t imagine how pleased I am. I was very skeptical about using a moving company. However, NorthStar was top-rated by CitySearch because you are simply THE BEST. From the moment I called and spoke with Bell (who was very pleasant, courteous and so very helpful), to the confirmation call from Jose (just as wonderful!) to the very end of the move with Raz, Giovanni and crew, the service you provided was second to none. Because of the unbelievable experience I had with NorthStar, I will be sure to never make a move without you again! Thanks Raz & Giovanni! Please use me for future references – I’ll be happy to share my experience with NorthStar to everyone!
