Review by Lindsay C.

I messaged a few different moving companies for moving quotes as I only had a kitchen and bedroom to move. I usually do my own moving but I didn’t have access to a large vehicle and with 2 flights of stairs to consider I decided to call an expert.

I spoke with NorthStar and they re-assured me that they secure all my items, have insurance and even provide a clothing wardrobe to move all  my items hanging in the closets. There was a cheaper company I was considering but the reviews on Yelp seemed pretty harsh and there was was a good amount of good and bad so I decided not take any chances. I don’t own expensive items but I didn’t want a broken or cracked item.

NorthStar was really patient about earning my business. They were great about explaining all the costs and giving me an estimate with all the costs involved. I was grateful that they were able to get the job done in the time I estimated and there was no hidden fees.

They had a 2 hour minimum which included drive time so I had planned to move all the large items I was unable to carry myself and could not fit in my car at the time and had planned to move all the smaller items through the week myself.

They showed up on time and the movers were really professional. All my items were wrapped and padded if necessary and everything  carried out safely and quickly. I was shocked at how fast they did it and with such ease. They seriously are professionals. Since they were able to do it so quickly, they asked if I needed help moving some of my kitchenware. I hadn’t planned for it assuming the two hours that I had hired them, included drive time wouldn’t give me enough time to move other things so I didn’t pack too many other things. They reassured me they could help and brought in boxes and paper for any glassware and packed up all my dishes and other miscellaneous kitchen items. They helped me label the boxes and lay everything out in my new place. This was seriously the best thing ever! Best part was they didn’t need to take all the drawers out of the dresser they just moved it as is after wrapping and my bed was completely wrapped and protected.

I’ve moved 3 times in since I’ve moved to SF and this was seriously the easiest move ever. No sweating, bumping into things and or multiple trips. The wardrobe boxes were great. I didn’t have to unhang any of my clothes or worry about wrinkles. It went straight on to the rack at my new place and they disassembled my bed frame and re-assembled my bed frame. I was able to unpack all my stuff and feel settled into my new place in a few hours. This was seriously worth it.
