I’ve used NorthStar Moving for 3 moves now. All of them were between SoCal and Norcal, and I’ve been very happy each time.

My most recent move, in particular, was excellent thanks largely in part to Kevin R who was the primary person who helped with packing and moving out of my old house as well as unpacking and dropping off. Kevin is super friendly, helpful, and professional. His communication throughout the process and move was excellent, and I always felt taken care of. The rest of the NorthStar Moving team was great as well.

I needed to move with very short notice (less than a week), and NorthStar gladly accommodated. I was able to schedule a virtual walkthrough (via FaceTime) of my house to obtain an estimate and have movers at my house the very next day. The estimate was accurate; there were no surprise charges later on. I spent around $7400 on my move, which included some assistance with packing certain items (2 TVs, 2 mattresses, 2 desks, rowing machine, lamps, & miscellaneous smaller items), but I boxed up most of the stuff myself. I had a 4 bed house (which was not completely full of stuff, so the price will certainly vary based on your walkthrough). To be honest, I didn’t spend a lot of time shopping around, but I had used NorthStar in the past and had good experiences. Of my 3 moves, I only had some minor damage to a cheap Ikea dresser made of particle board, so no big deal there.

NorthStar does include some very minimal basic insurance for damages of 60 cents per pound on your stuff (at no additional cost), but there is an option to pay for additional coverage. I opted for additional coverage on some of my more valuable items (sofa, desks, TV, rowing machine). This insurance costs 3.5%-4.25% of the declared value plus a deductible of $100-$1000 (depending on which percent you opt to pay) with an optional $50 per item for interior damage of electronics. I believe there’s a more comprehensive (and pricier) insurance option as well. In the end, the insurance was just for peace of mind because my items arrived undamaged.

I’d definitely recommend NorthStar and would certainly use them again if I happen to be doing another longer distance move. A real, live person actually picks up the phone when you call them, and I didn’t have to wait a long time either. All the folks I spoke to (Gil, the estimator person… Kristi, the lady who helped with insurance… and the initial person on the phone whose name I didn’t catch) were very friendly and professional. And, they were all very patient with my dumb questions.

I can’t really compare NorthStar to other movers since I’ve been loyal to them, but they haven’t let me down in 3 moves, so I’ll be sticking with them.

Packers arrived on time, treated my items carefully, were efficient, were very professional and friendly. My items were delivered as promised on time and in excellent condition. Every contact I had with the office, packers and delivery people were positive and helpful.

Great communication and easy (or as easy as moving can be) experience moving cross-country from San Francisco to Boston. A friend recommended NorthStar to us after a great experience moving from SF to Philly, and we would now recommend NorthStar to our friends. NorthStar was able to work with our moving timeline, quoted us a pretty reasonable price, and was very on top of the whole process, calling us at each step to make sure everything was okay. We packed our own boxes but NorthStar did all the furniture and everything arrived in great shape.

We recently moved an elderly relative from San Francisco to San Diego and NorthStar Moving was fantastic. We needed full service so added packing and additional insurance. Our key contact John was fantastic, responsive, and thorough. The packing team came one time (early even!) and was efficient, detailed and thorough. When the items arrived at the new home, the unpacking and load in went smoothly. We really appreciate the quality and professionalism of NorthStar moving. I would highly recommend them for a statewide move or a local move.

Excellent Service provided by Lorena and Alejandra! Lorena coordinated everything and Alejandra made sure everything was carried through. They kept me posted throughout the process. It was a smooth move. The movers they use were also very professional and went out of their way to help out. Thank you NorthStar Movers for making this an easy move. Your 5-star ratings reflect the quality of service and care you provide.

We used this service for a cross country move. AZ to FL. Very easy to schedule. Very communicative via text, email and calling during the whole process- at the start until after delivery. Paper work was easy to get back to them. Packers/movers were very efficient and professional on both ends of the move. I would highly recommend using these movers.

Fantastic experience and amazing support and updates all the way from Gil and Alejandra! My wife and I moved from California to Tampa this past week and the experience with Northstar exceeded all expectations. They took great care to wrap and protect everything from our 3 bedroom house and everything arrived in perfect condition. Thank you Northstar!
