Absolutely amazing service. My movers were Chris, C.J., Hector B. I have never had as swift and painless a move as this. I am still reeling how quick this move went especially from LA to the Inland Empire. The total move including the drive in a little traffic was 5.5 hrs. I was initially quoted $950 for everything when a rep came to view my place in LA and with my check-in and the $50 for $125 yelp deal – it had significantly dropped my price (plus their swiftness cut the price as well). They charged me extra for the items they had shrink-wrapped and the rolls of tape they used. Overall my charge was $675. Holy crapola thats insanely cheap! Especially for their service! I have heard horror stories of movers and I was bracing myself for the bill thinking that I was quotes $950 max but there were for sure going to be other random charges that would have brought me over that estimate.
On time, courtesy calls, super quick and efficient! All my furniture is intact and they took extra care of everything. My new spot had brand new white carpets upstairs and they easily took the time to take off their shoes multiple times and were careful to not mark up the walls or carpet. I kept apologizing because I know how much of a hassle it was but they completely made me feel at ease about it all. They confirmed with me which rooms I would like the boxes or furniture pieces which made it a lot easier for me being that most were heavy as heck. I would recommend them to anyone moving. Moving is so so stressful especially if you’re anyone like me and NorthStar made everything smooth, simple, and stress free. Thank you!
Packing Service
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!

Luis R., George M, and Lecca were a great help today during my sudden move. There were on time and very professional with the care of my belongings. I plan on using Northstar again for my moving and storage needs.
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.
The crew made the tough job of moving so much less painful. The guys were cheerful and helpful all day long. Worked steadily and tirelessly until the job was done. Very happy with my experience with north star!!
Fred and his awesome team of movers! These guys went above and beyond to make this move a pleasurable experience!! They worked hard and stay dedicated to making sure they moved in a swift and timely manner. We’re moving again in about 11 months and we’ll be hiring this company again. I’ll be requesting Fred and his crew to help us with the our move. If you’re debating between two moving companies stop the debate and call Northstar!
Today, I moved and chose to use Northstar again! With the help of Jose T, Gerardo T and Ramon R., we quickly packed up my old place, moved everything across town, and set up my new digs! There team was great; super helpful, fast, and no damage to any of my belongings. Thanks guys!
Best decision ever! I was a little worried about hiring movers, but after meeting with Ivan, Rafa, and Nathan, I was extremely pleased! Not only were they on time with an appropriate estimated time of arrival, they completed my move faster than originally planned! I will definitely be using them again, and recommend them to anyone looking to move!
I’ve used these guys twice now and while moving is difficult, Northstar make it easy. They work quickly and carefully.
They showed up on time with a nice sized truck and called in advance. All furniture was wrapped with reusable blankets for protection. Was on the road within an hour!

Great movers! Moved us out of our 3 bedroom house and into a one story walk up 3 bedroom in under 6 hours. They even helped reorganize things for us!
