Review by Alex I.

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!
