I’ve had the pleasure of working with Gadi and the NorthStar moving company a few times now for both television productions and personal needs. I must say that in both scenarios, I found working with NorthStar an incredibly easy and pleasant experience. Gadi is absolutely outstanding, and rarely do you find someone so passionate about their job and who can truly deliver unparalleled customer service. He is knowledgeable, professional, kind, and prompt. I never found it difficult to get an answer or a solution from him. He cares a great deal about the company and the clients and gives everyone such great personal attention. I’ve seen NorthStar move families out of multi-million dollar homes in a day, and I also was lucky enough to have NorthStar move me out of my one bedroom apartment in a few hours. Whether your single and in an apartment or a family giving up their home to a reality show, Gadi and NorthStar both realize how valuable your things are to you, and they pack them delicately, move them out with ease, and make sure you know your things will be well taken care of no matter how long they store them. As a coordinator, I know I can successfully complete my job by returning homes to families the way they left them. As a private client, I know my things are safe and secure, and that I’ll get everything back to me the exact same way I left them. NorthStar is an industry leader in professional moving and storage, and I wouldn’t think of using anyone else. Gadi is a friend and a smart businessman, and anyone or company would be lucky to work with such a great person and successful company.

I want to tell you how pleased I was with all of your employees who were involved with my move last month. The project manager, Ben Cohen, came to my home to discuss what your company could do for me regarding my move from So Cal to No Cal. His knowledge and professionalism is what convinced me to select your company. Also, Carlos from dispatch was very patient and helpful. The delivery guys, Israel, Lebonese and Satena were terrific.
I thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I wish you and your company continued success.
Sincerely,
Patricia Moon
The purpose of this letter is to commend your employees. In May, 2008, I contracted with Northstar to move my belongings from my home in Pacific Palisades, California to Portland, Oregon. I worked with Ron Cohen, the relocation specialist. He was friendly, helpful, and very professional. Everytime I had a question or concern, he always addressed it honestly and promptly. I was always satisfied with the outcome. He is an asset to the company.
On Friday, July 18, 2008, four men, Gil, Scott, Luis and Miguel arrived to load my boxes and furniture onto the truck. They, also, were friendly, helpful and professional. They worked hard and efficiently securing my furniture with blankets, undoing tables, and carefully wrapping the individual parts. I was given small pieces such as keys or tassles to wrap and take personally. I had not considered these and they certainly would have been lost or destroyed had I not been given them. I was thoroughly satisfied as everything arrived in good shape. They did an exemplary job.
Belle, in the office, and the different dispatchers with whom I needed to speak were also so helpful and kind.
Thank you for your time and attention. I have already recommended Northstar to friends moving to northern California. They did contract with you.
Sincerely,

NorthStar Moving Corp in Chatsworth – is Fantastic – 3000 mi move
There is no reason to shop around for a moving company – just hire this one NOW. This is my story….My dad passed away unexpectedly in May and I made a decision to move from California to Florida so that my mom would not be alone. Needless to say I was not really prepared to move or make such a drastic change in my life. The last thing I needed to worry about was getting “all my stuff” shipped to Florida. I went on the internet and put out a request for moving and received about 10 e-mails and 10 more phone calls from various movers. I had pretty much decided on one and then I got 2 more phone calls from 2 more movers beating the price from the one I selected. I thought it a bit strange, so I went onto the Better Business Bureau Website and all 3 of them were rated very poorly. However, NorthStar was on the website with an A rating and although they were not the least expensive I thought it was worth the extra $100 to go with an A rated company. My items were picked up as scheduled and within 24 hours was informed of the exact weight of my shipment and the price along with an estimated delivery date. Prior to delivery the driver phoned me to confirm address and time of delivery. I received all of my belongings on schedule and was so surprised, all 30 boxes did not have a scratch or dent and not one item was broken, the boxes were in the same condition they were in upon pickup. I have to say from start to finish everyone was friendly and polite, very helpful and patient. Each one a true professional from start to finish, Ted, Haim, Alex…etc…..Thank you so much for taking such good care of me and “my stuff”. Sincerely, Joanne Kral from Fullerton Calif to Spring Hill Florida – PS Be sure when you book NorthStar that it is the company in Chatsworth, because there is another mover with a similar name and I would hate for you to book the wrong company!
I know it has been a while since your staff moved me from Bakersfield to Monrovia, California, but I did not want it to go unsaid that I was very pleased with your staff, and the way they treated me and my furniture. Please let them know that I ma pleased. I know that I will probably stay in the apartment I rented for one year, but will move again. I hope to re-employ you and your staff again in my future. Again, thank you, and I will recommend you and your staff to anyone I know whom has a need for a moving company.

I had about five moving companies to choose from when I scheduled my recent move. One was recommended by a co-worker but that company couldn’t fit me in on the day I wanted to move.
NorthStar was my second choice.
After the move, I can say that NorthStar will be my first choice next time. The team they sent for my move was professional, friendly, and worked their butts off. I was really unprepared (packing always takes longer than you think) so I really needed them to step up and help with the packing and moving.
From start to finish, my experience with NorthStar was great and I highly recommend them to anyone who’s moving. They are also very reasonably priced so even a nine hour move with 3 guys was under $800.
It’s not often you find a well-priced service that’s also excellent.
MOVING? Hire these guys. Period.
I first called the highest ranked company on yelp, Delancey, but they were booked. So, I called NorthStar.
Fate.
They showed up to my first apartment EARLY, but didn’t charge me for the time that they were just waiting around for me to get there. I had already packed all my stuff with Earth Friendly Moving boxes (highly recommended), so the 2-man team just loaded everything out. I tried to help, since I wanted to keep it at the 3-hour minimum, but they insisted that I just relax…they powered through!
My bed frame needed to be disassembled to fit through the doors, but they put it back together for me at my new place. They had a great attitude, were extremely professional and very fast. They kept it under 3 hours!
At the end of the move, they rang up my total at $100/hr which was more than they originally quoted me. One of the movers called the office and it was settled immediately.
I have a large collection of crystal glasses. I wrapped them all in the paper and packed them in the boxes supplied by Earth Friendly Moving and NON were broken. I was a little nervous when NorthStar even stacked the ‘fragile’ labeled boxes on top of each other, but was so happy when i unwrapped everything and all was good.
**a note about moving. if you dont want your stuff broken or damaged, pack it yourself. these guys move FAST. If you expect them to gingerly wrap every glass, and then pack it, then unwrap it, the move is going to take hours, then you’ll have to pay a lot. Do as much pre-packing as you can, and I gaurantee the move will be inexpensive, and less stressful too! You can always get friend to help you pack and upack your stuff, its the lifting and physical move that is the biggest burden…
Using NorthStar and Earth Friendly Moving boxes (which I packed prior to the move), I was able to move my one bedroom apartment across town in 3 hours.
The grand total was $432.
Northstar Moving Company had exceeding all our expectations, they took extra step in taking care of our furniture which we really appreciate. I will definitely recommend Northstar Moving Company to all my friends and will definitely hire them again if I move again. We are very happy with their service and the staff are very friendly and courteous.
The first time I ever remember moving was when I was 5 years old. My parents have never moved since. Yes, they still live in the same house. I do recall one of the guys ended up with a serious back injury from moving the piano. That’s another story in itself. Suffice to say, as a kid, it was traumatic to see, a human in so much pain. Maybe that’s why I ended up working in a hospital?
I wanted give my parents my refrigerator & I had some other items to move. The last moving company I used went out of business. It’s too bad, they were wonderful.
This moving company was very prompt . Moreover they were responsive on the phone & in person. They asked all the right questions. They asked what size place I was moving from & going to in order to determine how many men and what size truck to bring. Multiple stops were needed, from my studio to a 1 bdrm., to a storage place that my friend let me use, to my parents home. I asked “would you please send some really nice guys?” Through it all, they were pleasant, patient & good natured.
I would suggest you know as much as possible, how you want your belongings packed, because they are lickety split, ever so speedy fast. Closely supervise too, because they will ask questions, “is this ok or no?”
They called & forewarned me they were stuck in traffic but would soon be at the 1st stop. They arrived within the originally alloted timeframe at my studio.
They wrapped whatever was necessary, packed what I was too tired to pack (1 closet) & assured me it was going to be fine. They were very quick. Perhaps it didn’t look like a lot to them, but it sure did to me. They said, “don’t worry maam, we have lots of room in the truck.” When I peeked inside the truck, they had about half the truck empty!
I had a bed, padded head & foot board, loveseat, refrigerator, numerous boxes, bins, containers, plants, & wardrobe boxes. I thought I would need 2-3 wardrobe boxes. Ha Ha. They stuffed 9 wardrobe boxes, ca ching.
I had my closet divided into work clothes & play clothes. One of the moving men remarked, “nice work clothes”, I said “thank you.” Then he glanced at the play clothes before loading them into the wardrobe boxes & smiled, “soft & delicate!”
They worked really hard, their attitude was a “can do with a smile, just you sit back & relax.” Even when they discovered a dresser mesh bin assembly that had a wheel which was already broken from years ago, they took it in stride. They didn’t ask me, “why don’t you just get rid of this thing?” Instead, they coaxed the old dresser mesh bin assembly in a gentle manner till it made it onto the truck.
2nd stop was my new place. I requested moving blankets be spread out on my new carpet. They honored that request, again with a smile as they said “no problem, nice place.”
Here’s where I made a mistake. I wished I had asked them to wash their hands or offered them premoistened hand wipes to get rid of the grime on their hands before unwrapping & assembling the padded head board. The man who assembled the head board (upholstered) stained it slightly, however when I purchased it, I bought a lifetime guarantee on it, so it’s a minor issue. If I can’t get the stain out myself, the furniture company will replace the whole padded head board.
3rd stop was the storage space. Dropped off some containers. Here’s where the bill came in. They ran an estimate, because I was not going to the 4th stop. For all this an incredible $732.00
4th stop was a challenge. If you’ve ever been in L.A. gridlock, bumper to bumper, this was it. Just trying to get on the freeway must have been a nightmare. I passed them on the left & saw what they were in for, as the line to the onramp stretched on for miles. I don’t know how they managed it. However 2 hours later they made it to my parents & dropped off the refrigerator.
I figured it took them at least 8 hours. I had bugeted much more than $732 & I think I got a bargain. The moving men were really nice too. Absolutely nothing was broken, despite many bumps in the road & even the glass shelves for the refrigerator. Everything works just fine, even my precious powerful microwave oven.
