I am in the process of completing a move from Los Angeles to Seattle. This is the first time that I have ever moved across state lines with more than a couple of boxes to my name, so you can imagine the astronomical levels of stress that I might experience when all of my CRAP (of which I have way too much) packed up into just over 80 boxes and crates. All of which were down a narrow, steep driveway and then up about 12 steps off of a teeny postage stamp of a front porch. 

However, NorthStar has made this process easy and as stress-free as possible. When I first contacted them, they were happy to send out an on-site estimator to have a look around. Gil typed away busily at an estimate, entering my furniture and estimating boxes, and then sat down with me to review the whole estimate. He then set about finding a move date that would save me the most money, since (apparently) there is a moving “season” and I was planning my move in the middle of it (summer, guys!). 

After the estimate and the date was set up, I received an email copy of the whole thing, and easy email contact with the company as things changed and evolved (hey, I need wardrobe boxes…hey, I sold my couch, etc.). 

The day before the Big Day, I received a phone call confirming my move, and they stepped through some details with me over the phone. 

When they got to my house, the foreman (who was AWESOME) went through all the paperwork with me, and kept me informed at every step of the process, asking questions about how to package items, etc. They were very transparent, no secrets, and no messing around. 

The three guys worked quickly, efficiently, carefully, and CHEERFULLY, and it was clear that they’ve done this before. No bitching, no throwing stuff around, just efficient beehive-like awesomeness. 

I will update this review when they unpack my stuff in Seattle, but I can’t imagine that its going to change that much. I would recommend (and already have!) these guys to anyone, especially those of us who have logistically complicated or technically impossible moves.
These guys are great! Great price, service, and attitude. They helped me move twice across states and both experiences were wonderful and professional. Will definitely use them again myself and recommend to all my friends. Five star service!

Thank you, Northstar! Wife and I moved to CO from the Bay Area. Found Northstar on Yelp, and from the minute I met their estimator, I knew these were the guys for the job.

When they came to our house for the move their foreman Carlos was very helpful, and best of all, he responded to everything we asked with, “Not to worry, we got this.” 

And they did…packed everything incredibly well, our place was as clean as when they got there, and NOTHING damaged on the other end! And the move IN crew was just as helpful and courteous as the move OUT guys.

Great relief, and worth every star…these guys take care of your stuff like it is their own!

It was the first time I’ve hired movers to help me with an out of state move and I was a little apprehensive. Northstar did a fantastic job packing and ensuring all my things would be delivered safely.  They were easy to contact and receive status updates whenever I needed.  I would definitely go with them again! Superb customer service.

wanted to thank Jaivo Gomez and his crew,who picked up our stuff in california,the whole crew was wonderful,also Alan Nudel who came a few weeks ago to see what we were moving and helped us feel confident that everything was in good hands.i’ve lived in the same apartment for 21 years and this is quite an emotional experience so many thanks to northstar for making the first part of our move go smoothly.i will leave an update at the end of our move ,but i feel extremely confident so far.good job.
Northstar movers are very professional. I would hire them again next time. Price is reasonable, and they moved my stuff very carefully. Joseph and his crew are great movers, they are energetic, careful and pleasant. Please give them a raise 🙂
Cheap and professional. Aren’t those the only two things that you are looking for in a moving company. People that are professional and are willing to do it at a reasonable price. I will use them again if move.
I have used several different moving companies over the past couple years to move across country and was extremely impressed with the service North Star provided. I moved from San Francisco to Ohio and had all my belongings delivered within 7 days. The quote was much lower then any of the larger companies so I was apprehensive but they exceeded my expectations. From the moment they arrived to pick-up my belongings to delivery the communication and customer service I received was in a class of its own! I would definitely use North Star for my next move!
I used Northstar Moving to move from Los Angeles, California  to Austin, Texas.  The movers showed up on time and were really fast and efficient.  My belongings arrived in tact and undamaged in Austin within the allotted window period.  They charged me exactly what they quoted me and didn’t throw in any additional fees or try to up-charge me once they delivered my belongings.  It was a very pleasant experience all around.  I would recommend them to anyone and definitely would use them again.
I moved from Los Angeles, California to Seattle, Washington.  I’ve had some TERRIBLE experiences with moving companies and wanted to avoid any broken or stolen items during this move.  A friend recommended Northstar and I honestly could not have been happier with their service.

The office is extremely professional and responsive and the movers are quick, efficient and also very professional.  I was the most annoying customer, I kept adding and removing items after my initial quote to bring down the cost and Gil, my relocation specialist, was always very responsive and understanding.  

On moving day they provide a window for when the movers might arrive– 8:30-10:30, the movers arrived at exactly at 8:30AM.  They were extremely thorough, careful and fast!  They have a system to track your things to make sure you get all your belongings and my things arrived within the estimated time frame.  Of all the many things that I moved I only had two minor damages, cracks in my dresser and standing fan. The claims process was easy peasy and very fair.  Monica was on top of it and very pleasant to work with.  I can’t say enough about their customer service.

Moving is stressful enough.  If you want peace of mind and a pleasant moving experience — hire Northstar.  I would recommend them to anyone.
