First off, these guys are our saviors!! My boyfriend and I were moving from LA to Seattle and planned our move months ago with a different company. That company who will remain nameless (jk, it’s westcoast movers – DONT USE THEM!!) totally screwed us and never showed up day of and then tried to push our move back to the next day which f’ed up our plans even more. Needless to say, we called Northstar movers that day in a panic and asked if they had any availability. They were incredibly helpful over the phone (thanks Ana!) and then within just a few hours 3 men came to the rescue! They were efficient, friendly and thorough and were in and out in less than 45 minutes. I couldn’t recommend them enough! Do yourself a favor and hire these guys for your move!
Special shoutout to Eduardo C, Ricardo C and Jr 🙂 you guys rock!
Long Distance Move
Used Northstar. Easy to work with. Eduardo, Rachard, and Steven were efficient, polite and very professional. I highly recommend. Treated my apartment with care and worked hard. Great experience.
I’ve never really hired movers before, but I feel that it’d be tough to find a better one than NorthStar Movers. I had intended on using them to move my things from one city to another three or so years ago, but never had the opportunity to. But now that I was moving between STATES, I felt like it was a good time as ever to call.
The friendly agent on the phone mentioned that they had to schedule an estimator to come to my place to assess how much the entire move was going to be, so we settled on a date and had them come in. The estimator was a cool guy, very patient with every question me and my girlfriend had, and gave us as much information as he can even AFTER he had left after several communications via email.
Then, the actual move came. The company asks you to have half of your estimated fee for the movers and they almost arrived earlier than I had anticipated – which was not a bad thing! At the time, I needed to begin my 15 or so hour drive to become a future Northwesterner and ensuring that all my things packed were something I was certainly going to be very important to me that day. As it turned out, the lowest estimate of 4 hours (for packing and moving my stuff out of the apartment) was super accurate and they were in and out of there by lunch time.
Now, I should add that they estimate 2 days to 2 weeks, depending on how much freight they can group together and get to the same place and, on that note, I got the full 2 weeks. They, however, contacted me 24 hours prior to their drop off (as stated plenty of times during this process by a few people) and the following day, my things arrived in good condition with nothing missing! I had read a few people’s concerns, including a colleague of mine who used them to move as well, but all my things were completely intact.
Simply put, the entire experience was really smooth and fast and I’d recommend them to anyone doing long distance moves – or even short ones, at that!

Great experience. Arrived on time and were very helpful considering we were not completely packed. They were very detailed in their inventory. Friendly and polite. All the antiques were wrapped well. Currently the load is in transit across the country and I feel good about it. Thanks.
My family had a one in a lifetime opportunity to move to California from Airzona in no less than a week and we contacted north star moving company in Airzona and we don’t regret it at all. i never had such a good experience with a moving company! my moving guys were Alex the head guy, Martin, John and i’m sorry i forgot the names of the other 2 movers. they worked really well together and were like a well oiled machine: fast and efficient. Alex was very good in communication with me all day and letting me know whats going on with his guys as well as what the next steps for the move are. they were even kind to our kids, joking around and making them feel less stressed out during the move. i was very grateful for the combination of a really professional group that was also friendly and nice to be around. it was a long day but everything made it ok and we are all happy to be in our new home! thank you north star for a job well done!
UPDATE 12/28/15 – Just moved from California to Arizona and used Northstar a third time. Excellent service as always. The movers (Shay and José) brought everything in perfect condition and triple-checked that nothing was lost in the shuffle. Great work all around.
Amazing job! Art, David and Karran were total pros from start to finish. We had a one-bedroom apartment filled with a heavy king-sized bed, an exercise bike, tables, couches, chairs, wardrobe boxes, flat screen TV and all of the other usual things. They handled it all perfectly. On-time and very friendly. We would highly recommend Northstar — especially this team — to everyone. Office workers are excellent too. Very responsive to all needs — even on the weekends.
When we found ourselves ready to move and had a house filled with memories that I wanted moved, I called NorthStar. Again. We had so much…we were exploding at the seams. Not one complaint. David F. came prepared with the most wonderful team…James, Ruben and Anthony Z. They never stopped…four energizer bunnies running, wrapping, lifting and packing…it was a flurry of caring hands wrapping our most precious belongings. I can’t say enough good about this crew….or the office staff that scheduled our appointments promptly and with a smile. Hey guys…can you hear me….YOU ROCK! You are special and I hope the delivery team is as special! They ended a very long day…very long with a smile…I have photographic proof 🙂
LA guys who packed us up were amazing, I wish there were 6 stars. Detail oriented, friendly, fast, efficient and careful with our belongings.
Stay tuned for our Chicago unload!
