The 3 man NorthStar team moved my 1 bedroom worth of stuff (~10 small boxes, lamp, air purifier, heater, queen size mattress/frame, backpacking gear, misc) from South SF to SF in essentially 1 hour.
They were careful, speedy and polite. I was a bit stressed about moving but they made it a breeze.
The only suggestion I have is for the scheduler/coordinator to be on the same page with the team on the ground regarding things like their shoe bootie policy (FYI booties need to be provided by the client, not NorthStar).
Thanks!
Yelp Review
We are beyond thrilled with the work we got from
Andy’s crew! Showed up at the appropriate time, worked fast and were extremely careful with all our belongings taking time to wrap things up awesome so they wouldn’t be damaged in the transport. All had great attitudes, work ethics, and made a long day of moving enjoyable. Do not look any further if you need movers as they will do a fantastic job and are priced very competitively! We don’t plan on moving for a long time!! Lol! But if the time comes we will be calling Northstar Movers again!!
Ours was a big move. 5 bedrooms. Took two trucks and 8 guys 11 hours, including a 45′ drive between our homes. No packing was required as we had packed everything.
It took more time than they estimated but there was no debate about increasing the Not to Exceed estimate.
The crew was unbelievably polite, efficient and thorough.
Highly recommend.
I’ve moved on average once a year for the past decade. Of the many moving companies I’ve experienced, Northstar Moving is solidly the best for quality to price ratio. When I moved for work, the companies my employer paid for were excellent and extremely detailed (numbering each item for packing and unpacking, thorough carpet protection, etc), but they were very pricey.
When I move on my own dime, I’m frugal and always ask around for multiple quotes. Northstar Moving had very reasonable pricing and consistently good reviews. Stephanie, the booking coordinator was professional and quick to respond. I received detailed confirmation emails with all the potential extra costs laid out and optional additional insurance. I also received a reminder call the day prior.
On moving day, the movers came right in the middle of the two hour estimated arrival window. I got a call about the actual eta 75 minutes in advance, and they were even a bit early. Edgar and his team were efficient, moving my 1 bedroom apartment in just under 3 hours, start to finish. For the price, I didn’t mind not having a checklist and some minor carpet scuffs.
I was impressed with how the movers went above and beyond to make sure my furniture was re-assembled and placed correctly. The team was courteous and friendly as well. I would definitely use Northstar Moving again!
This was my first time using movers in SF, and I’m so glad I went with NorthStar Moving. Not only were the rates competitive, but I was pleased with their communication and they also happened to be available a week from when I booked them.
Moving sucks, but this was the easiest part of the whole ordeal. Edgar and his crew were extremely efficient and professional. I originally thought it would be a 2-man crew, but there were three guys! Edgar gave me a call half an hour before they arrived. They made an otherwise hectic day much smoother by showing up on time (my original window was 8-10am and they arrived around 8:45am), wrapping and transporting items VERY quickly, and helping us unwrap items at our new apartment.
I was really impressed with their service and turnaround time. I would recommend them to anyone! If you’re debating going with a moving service or doing it on your own, I’d suggest going with NorthStar. They make the process easy, and it’s money well spent.
They were on time and fast. We got everything to the new place and moved in quickly. Navigating the city and moving apartments are definitely tricky but they made it easy for me and I’ll definitely use them again for my next move!
I liked NorthStar so much the first time, I used them again! This time, I’m moving cross-country (BERKtoBKLYN) and wanted to entrust my life with a company I’ve worked with before.
NorthStar made my life significantly easier, including packing up our whole damn apartment when I ran out of time to do it myself (what? When you work 16 hours a day and someone you know says, “So, have you started packing for your big move?” the only appropriate response is to both laugh at them and also cry.)
Edgar and his team were kind, patient, and professional. And did I mention that they actually packed up my whole apartment in a matter of hours?
As I mentioned in my first review, it isn’t cheap. But also, you should probably expect that a white glove moving service is pretty damn extravagantly priced (I legit sat in my car doing a crossword while they worked, feeling increasingly guilty that I had ruined their day by leaving my apartment in disrepair). But if you can get it together to pack ahead of time (to which I will call you a show off), and even if you can’t, they are very transparent about costs and it’s totally worth it for peace of mind. I mean look: I moved today, and I didn’t even cry once!
Movers were great! On time! Great service! Will definitely used again!
Jimmy Jonathan & Eddie….great service! These guys were A+ got our move done on time, made it easy! They were troopers! We’d estimated 5 hrs and they were able to complete the move in our estimated time!
Every aspect of my experience with North Star Movers has been stellar and way beyond my expectations. I requested rates from 6 other movers and North Star gave me the most competitive rates. Stephanie (and everyone really) from their Client Loyalty Team was so friendly and helpful. She accommodated us so much for our move.
The crew that showed up to our house came on time and were incredible! I cannot express how grateful I am for their professionalism and care. We had so much big furniture but they were so expert, nothing scratched the walls. Everything arrived to our new place in the same condition as if it hadn’t been touched at all. Seriously, we had such a great experience with them. This was a very anxiety-inducing time for me but whenever I was on the phone with them and when they arrived, I felt an immediate sense of relief. We are very happy we hired North Star Movers. 🙂
These guys did a great job moving my stuff from storage to my new place in the pouring rain! I was worried about my things getting damaged because of the horrible weather but everything was in perfect condition. The movers were also super quick to get everything in despite the rain and unusually cold weather. They arrived on time and were very friendly. Most movers would probably be in a bad mood moving in this weather and having to hike up a steep hill but they were in good spirits and in a good mood. I’ll never try to do a move on my own again! I highly recommend northstar in Chatsworth for both moving and storage. Five stars! Satisfied customer!
