Every step of my move from CA to NC was so easy. Your workers were efficient and very courteous. Not enough room on this evaluation form to say all that was so right! My furniture was handled with the utmost of care.
Thank you all!
Packing Service
We recently moved from Los Angeles to the east coast. My company paid for everything so we had to do diligent research and cost comparisons. Not only did Northstar come in with the best bid, but they also had the best customer service ever. Everyone from Gadi on down rolled up their sleeves and helped! We had nearly 500 items (boxes)!! 99.9 % of everything arrived intact and complete. What more can you ask for? I shudder at the concept of ever moving again, but if I had to do it again, there’s no doubt who I would use, NorthStar Moving.
Can highly recommend them from first move with NorthStar Moving Corporation, which did a fantastic job. From phone receptionist to estimator to movers, everyone was very polite, friendly and professional. No razzmatazz or mover gimmicks, just plain solid dependable moving company. This was a short move about 3 miles away, from Mar Vista to Venice.
Estimates and contracts were clear and efficient (emailed). They arrived early allowing us an extra 10 minutes to review the documents. Their estimate was less than what Meathead Movers quoted me, although NorthStar’s estimate on my volume and truck space needed was nearly double the other. (Always read the backside fine print of any moving contact very carefully!)
No money down, easy cancelation policy, and payment by VISA after unloading accepted.
But be ready when the come! The gung-ho movers jumped right in while I was still packing the last boxes, and things started to move faster than I had control over about what went with them and what went with me. However, it was satisfying–if not surprising– to see the wall of boxes it took me weeks to create dismantled and out in minutes. 4 moving men for about 70 boxes, 1000 square ft. 2BR was just right to finish just under 6 hours.
Of course the very minimum of 1 slightly scraped piece of furniture and a couple scuffs on the wall were normal enough to be expected. (I did acquire additional insurance because I have antique pieces I didn’t want covered standard by the pound.)
The extra wardrobe boxes they brought at no additional charge really help for the last of the clothing and last minute, odd-sized ‘stuff’. I regret that they did charged me an extra $11 for one of their dish pack boxes to pad-pack a leaded glass window, when I had my own large unused cartons laying around they could have used. But no complaints.
The greatest joy of all, was to learn that ‘by chance’ all four of my moving men were faith-filled believing Christians–one who had just gotten saved that morning. Which allowed us to take take when all was said and done to pray for and bless one another.
Great way to start a new home! Hunt around, compare and give NorthStar a try!

We had NorthStar recommended to us by some friends who had used them for a move on the west side of LA. We called for a quote, and Ron came to our house and gave us a quote well under what we had expected to pay. We were thrilled by the quoted price. On the day of the move, three guys showed up and had our whole house packed in three hours, at the new house a half hour later, and unpacked into the right rooms in another three hours. The whole move was done in under 7 hours, which saved us an hour of quoted labor costs – so the bill came in UNDER even what Ron had quoted us. The movers were fast, courteous and experience, and I’d definitely use NorthStar again.

I found NorthStar Moving on Yelp when I was planning a local move in the San Fernando valley. The reviews were positive, so I decided to take a chance. I was glad I did! Ron Cohen, my relocation specialist, did a great job of helping me plan the move, explained the process, and provided an accurate estimate up front that I felt was very fair. We planned my move as a two-day move, with a pack on the first day and the actual move on the second.
On the packing day, the packing crew arrived, professionally dressed and on time, and after introducing themselves and my signing the paperwork, they immediately got underway. I was totally floored by how quickly, carefully and expertly they could pack a large filled residence. What would have taken me a month, they did in about 6 hours. Everything got plenty of protection, padding, paper, blankets, stretch-wrap, etc. They were conservative and used extra materials to make absolutely sure my fragile stuff would be safe. Every single one of them worked nonstop, diligently and with care. I don’t know where they get the energy – I was exhausted just watching them! Ron had arranged in advance for my couch, bed and a few necessities to remain unpacked until the next morning, so I didn’t have to get a hotel room. Very cool!
On the moving day, the same crew arrived, again professionally dressed and on time, and they got underway immediately. Again, I have no idea where these guys get so much energy. Without any delays, they carefully and expertly moved all my boxes, furniture, everything out to the truck, and were very careful in the way they packed the truck and where they put certain extra-fragile items. In no time at all, my residence was empty! They told me they would meet me at my new house – I had to do an errand first and would meet them there shortly.
While I was doing my errand, I got a call from the driver – there was a delay on the highway ahead (massive traffic pileup) and he was diverting to side streets, and suggested I do the same. I mention this because it was a really nice thing for him to do, saving me from getting stuck in traffic.
When we all arrived at the new house, the moving crew did an expert job of moving all of our stuff in. They set up the bed, helped us move furniture where we wanted it, super helpful! When it was all done, we tallied up the bill, and the total was slightly less than what was quoted me! That was a nice surprise.
I felt that everyone at NorthStar did a very professional job throughout my move, from Ron Cohen, who managed the whole experience and made it go smoothly from beginning to end, to the crew lead, who expertly led the packing and moving, to the packers and movers who packed and taped and moved the boxes and furniture. This was a hassle-free, relaxing and pleasurable move at a fair price – an extraordinary value.
I used NorthStar Moving to assist me move from a 1 bedroom apartment in West Los Angeles to Santa Ana. I called several places prior to NorthStar and received a great estimate from Wendy. I told Wendy that I saw their reviews on Yelp and she gave me a 5% discount in the quote. I originally scheduled the move for the 25th of August but needed to change the date to the 19th. Their office accommodated my request to modify the date without any hassles and called me 24 hours prior to the newmove date to confirm.
The arrival time window I was given was between 8 am and 10 am. The movers arrived at 9 am and took almost 3 hours to pack up furniture and some boxes……probably because I asked them to wrap the furniture extra securely since it would be sitting in storage for awhile and not unpacked right away.
The moving crew – Aldolfo F., Alejandro, and Venancio – were polite and professional. They took great care with a new plasma TV and TV console to ensure that it was packed securely.
All in all, the furniture packing up portion took longer than I expected with 3 guys, but the moving crew made good time on the horrible 405 freeway and moved everything into storage within a half hour of arrival.
I would recommend NorthStar moving and use them again for a local move.

I just finished my move with NorthStar yesterday and had a great experience. Ricardo (or Richard) and his crew member were great. Not only were they prompt, they were actually early and I was the one who wasn’t ready.
I chose to have them pack me up and it was by far the best $800 I spent to save my sanity. Just to give you Yelpers a frame of reference, I moved out of a studio – thus the lower pricetag. From start to finish, Ricardo and his crew member worked efficiently and barely even took a break. They were gracious and made sure everything was thoroughly protected and labeled. I believe my move took a grand total of six hours. And this was me not packing a SINGLE THING – they did ALL the work.
When I made the reservation, the staff was helpful and thorough and gave me an incredibly accurate estimate of how much it would cost. They were very flexible when I made some changes a few days before.
I would definitely recommend them to all my friends and will be using them again the next time I move. Awesome job!

Thank you to NorthStar Moving. They were excellent. Helped me through a rough move, on time, very professional and did things very quickly. I appreciate all the help.
Thanks to NorthStar Moving for moving my things so wonderfully. I had three wonderful guys who packed my things wonderfully and moved everything and packed the truck and I am so glad I chose NorthStar Moving.
