Came on time. Did my job quickly and professionally, highly recommend!!!!  (called before to confirm, mailed me contract etc)
Kevin and his assistant helped me move from Newport Beach to San Diego on April 21st.  They were thorough and did an excellent job of carefully packing my 1 bedroom condo.  Northstar may cost more than some of the other companies out there, but the real cost of moving is also what things break and have to be replaced.  In this case brand new furniture and a lage plasma TV came out unscathed.  After carefully looking at all of my things I could only find 2 very small and minor scratches.  I am very particular and was impressed by that.  These guys are professionals when it comes to moving.  If that is what you want, they will serve you well.  Moving is tough.  These guys make it a lot easier.  I would use them again with no hesitation.  Good attitude, hardworking, knowledgeable about moving things, and careful.

Joel and his team were WONDERFUL!! They were fast, careful, and very professional. They packed everything good and nothing broke. Everything that they took apart, they put back together. They placed the furniture exactly where I asked them to. This is the second time I’ve used Northstar and I will use them again if I ever move again.

I used their [mobile storage] service.  Easy drop off and pick up, cheap storage.  When I called to gain access, they made it available within two days!  

When I had a balance left they even cut a check for the balance while I was there gathering my stored items!

Great company and very friendly staff.
Just moved this weekend thanks to Northstar.  I chose Northstar after reading all the good reviews on Yelp.  They were right-on.  Ran and his crew of three guys were awesome.  My move from LA to Ventura Co took 4.5 hours from start to finish.  That included two stops – one at my new place and one at my storage unit.  Ran’s guy Angel was amazing .  He fit everything into my storage unit despite my boyfriend’s insistance that I needed a larger unit.  They saved, time, money, and a lot of backache.

I will definitely use them again next time I have to move.  The cost was very reasonable.  The guys are very honest, careful, and trustworthy.

Northstar includes 3 guys in your rate.  Other movers only include 2 and charge almost the same rate (starving students).  It was a very good deal.

They estimated an arrival time between 8 and 10am on Sunday.  They were there by 7:45, which was fantastic.  

I was able to book Northstar at the last minute – just 3 days before the move.  No problems at all.
Northstar was very professional and courteous.  Ran and staff did an excellent job unloading the furniture (1 bedroom set in under an hour and half).  The delivery time line provided was anywhere from 1 – 5 days, and I was pleasantly surprised to receive delivery of my furniture on the 3rd day.  That said, the weight of my 1 bedroom set didn’t include a refrigerator, couch, or kitchen table and the total weight was over 2,000 lbs.   All in all, the customer service was top notch and I would definitely use their services again.  Thank you
I have moved all over the place: Chicago to London back to Chicago back to London to Los Angeles and finally, most recently, back to Chicago again.  I have had some terrible moving experiences so I was nervous about my latest cross country move.  NorthStar was excellent!  Every step of the process was easy and we communicated often.  Although their quote was slightly higher than some other companies, they were willing to negotiate and had the highest (and well deserved) BBB ratings.  The movers in LA were early and had my two bedroom apartment loaded within 2 hours.  They packed my kitchen including all my dishes and crystal.  Delivery was easy and the guys fabulous!  Everything arrived perfectly (no breakage) within the delivery window that they confirmed.  I received follow-up customer services calls after both pick-up and delivery.  All the people involved with this move did an excellent job.  I will absolutely use them again.
I called NorthStar on short notice for a move at the end of the month in Berkeley, CA.  While all the other companies I called were busy, NorthStar was able to accommodate me.  Even when I had to cancel at the last minute and then call back the next day to get the move appointment again, NorthStar was flexible and still had the slot to move my family.

The team was courteous, efficient, and careful with our fragile pieces.  I have used a lot of moving companies in the past few years, and NorthStar was by far the most patient and professional from the first call to the final box.  Furthermore, their prices were below the rates of their competition.   I give them my highest recommendation.
Hired NorthStar after reading positive reviews on-line. 
Arranged to have my four-bedroom house moved to a new larger home. Moving company rep gave competitive quote. They were very responsive to all e-mail and phone inquiries. 
Confirmed everything a few days before arriving. 
They showed up on-time and started working immediately in fifth gear! These guys are FAST! 
Since I was paying by the hour I was concerned about slacking and guys moving like slugs just to earn more money. That DID NOT happen with this crew. They were like a whirlwind in the house!
They were very respectful with my property – everything disassembled, wrapped in blankets and taped, and other items bubble wrapped (extra charge). 
They drove to the second house as fast as we did and once there immediately got to work. No complaints or issues with the fact that they had to carry heavy furniture and appliances up two flights of stairs and through narrow doorways. 
Except for a potted plant that was already cracked, nothing was broken, scratched, or damaged. Frankly, I was surprised, since I expected some ‘moving casualties’. 
I would highly recommend Joel and his crew from NorthStar. They are professional, fast, careful, and very reasonably priced. Overall, OUTSTANDING!

We recently employed your company to re-Iocate some of our possessions from an apartment on  Wilshire Boulevard to another apartment in Marina Del Rey. The move was complicated by the need for some items having to be stored – not only in your facility, but also in three different storage lockers at our Marina residence. 

We experienced an extremely smooth moving day, with every request handled expertly and professionally by your staff, both in the packing as well as in the moving process.
We especially want to commend to you the Project Manager, Ron Cohen, who met with us and gave us complete confidence that your company would be the best for our move. He remained in touch with us from start to finish, always returning our calls and meeting all of our requests. He is an excellent representative for NorthStar.

Most importantly, the men who actually did the work of packing and moving were outstanding. Robert, the foreman, was extremely professional, a good listener, and never overlooked any of our specific requests. He managed his crew – all of whom were efficient, hard workers and amazingly skillful- with a calm competency that showed why they all respect him. Some of their names – Adrian (wonderfully  helpful), Eric, Herman – we will always remember as the best part of our move. 

We thank you, Mr. Katalan, for providing us with such a successful moving experience – one which could have been much more difficult had it not been for your staff’s excellence at their jobs.

Sincerely, 
Earl and Margot Wynn
