Years ago, I worked for the Bekins Company, so I am a bit familiar with the business side of a moving company. After receiving several bids, I selected NorthStar, and I must say that I was 100% satisfied with their quality. My move entailed NorthStar employees packing up my 5 bedroom house, placing it in storage for a year, then delivering it to my new home in the desert. Given that I personally unpacked everything they packed, I can attest to the care that was given to my property. Not one piece of furniture was damaged, and out of several hundred glass and ceramic pieces, only one was broken. It was amazing. All pictures and mirrors came through the move unscathed, clothing in the wardrobe boxes remained hanging and were not even dusty after 12 months of storage.
If you are looking for a great mover with exceptionally competitive pricing with a wonderful staff of packers, loaders and unloaders, I highly recommend NorthStar.
Testimonials
I used North Star Moving for two moves during the month of September. Both were local moves, and both moves went perfectly. I was completely satisfied, and I am writing my first Yelp review to recommend North Star to others considering a move.
I hate moving. I have way too much stuff that I swear multiplied as it was packed. I have an eclectic combination of antique dressers, Ikea furniture, books, cooking gadgets, electronics, and shoes and, of course, knickknacks from every meaningful or insignificant event of my life. Oh, and three very spoiled cats. You put all that together, throw in a heat wave, add a new home that is only partially ready for move in, and even a move of six miles is a recipe for disaster.
Enter North Star to save the day. I found them while putting in magazine change of address notices on http://Moving.com. For a lark, I asked for moving quotes. I received one from North Star and one from another company with a horrible BBB rating. I started researching North Star, which led me to Yelp, and the positive reviews here encouraged me to give them a try. Oh, and let me just say I was not asked to write a review by anyone at North Star, nor did I receive any kind of a discount for finding them on Yelp, I guess cause I actually found them onhttp://Moving.com.
Victoria was the person that booked my moves. She was responsive, polite, and explained everything to me clearly. She was able to schedule both of my moves for the (weekend!) days I wanted with only a few days lead time. She made that process very easy for me.
Cesar was the person that notified me when to expect the movers. He called a couple of days before each move and then when they were on their way to let me know when to expect them. One of my moves was Saturday afternoon, the other was Sunday morning. He is also the person that made it possible that I had the same team of three movers for both moves.
That team consisted of Elias, Benancio and Ignacio. They were great. They worked a half day the first move, and a full day the second. Both moves involved loading the truck at the apartment, moving to the house and also moving items to a storage facility. The first day was hot; the second move day was record breaking HOT!
Neither move was a “take everything and go” kind of move, no, they were both “take this – leave that – that goes to storage – that goes to the house – that goes in the garage” kind of move. It was probably the worst kind of move for the guys doing the moving. And, they did this kind of moving while I moved three spoiled, stressed out cats from room to room, baiting them with treats, so they could be secured while the movers had the doors open!
The guys handled all the chaos easily. They were polite, good humored, and never once seemed frustrated or upset with anything. They had great attitudes! Their good nature calmed me.
They worked as a true team. Elias was the one that took apart and put together furniture. He also was the paperwork guy, complete with a credit card device in his bag for end of the day charges. Ignacio was the one that wrapped my furniture and TV’s with blankets and tape, just like in the video on their website. And Benancio amazed me with his strength: I’d say “that’s heavy” and he’d lift it with no trouble and add another box on top of it.
Actually, they were all strong and very hard workers. They had to be told to take a break, to drink some water. They just kept moving, looking for the next thing to do. But they worked SMART, too, not just hard. They used every inch of the truck to be sure everything got in it. They loaded up dollies at the storage space taller than they were to make the most of each elevator trip. They grabbed lunch on the way to the storage unit, and ate it while driving to maximize their working time.
Elias, Benancio and Ignacio worked very well together. Without a lot of discussion, they moved from task to task. It was all very seamless, and made what could’ve been a couple of nightmare moves, pretty easy and successful.
I don’t plan on moving again soon, maybe not EVER, but if you’re looking for movers to make your local move painless, I strongly suggest you call North Star Moving, and ask for Victoria. If you’re really lucky, maybe they’ll send Elias, Benancio and Ignacio.

I love these guys…I’ve used them several times and am never disappointed. They show up on time and are professional and careful with my stuff. What more could anyone ask for?
This is the third time I’ve used NS for a personal move and it was so easy and effortless. Not only were they on time, but they were early, and the whole move took about 4 hours. INCREDIBLE. I would never even think of using anyone else. I’ve also used them for production purposes and had the same experience. They treat everything you own as if it was gold. They are a nice, respectful, hard working, careful and trustworthy company, and if you want to know your move will be 100% taken care of, you have to use NorthStar!
Outstanding moving company, I couldn’t possibly ask for much better.
I was moving from Palmdale to Thousand Oaks, and they were extremely prompt and professional. They didn’t waste any time getting to my old place and moving, just so they could add money on to the cost of the move. They turned a very stressful experience into a comforting one, and gave me peace of mind that my things would make it to my new residence all in one piece. If you’re looking for a courteous, professional mover, look no further than NorthStar. Not enough good can be said about them.
Also, mention that you found them on yelp. I got a 10% off coupon for the move, and all I had to do was say that I found them here. The salesman that I spoke with actually called me back to ask where I heard of them so that I could get this discount. You won’t regret choosing them.

These guys were great!! We moved on probably the hottest day of the year this summer and they busted their behinds to get it done quickly yet carefully. The guys arrived on time, were very pleasant, worked very hard, and completed the job several hundred dollars below my “will not exceed price” that was quoted. It was a major job with 4 guys and 2 trucks and everything went smooth. I would not hesitate to call them again if/when I move again…great job guys, THANKS!

Very reasonably priced and responsible about calling prior to arriving. I appreciated knowing exactly what I was paying for and when I needed to plan to be home.
The movers were also so nice and good natured. They helped me disassemble and move an old bed out of my apt. before unloading the stuff in the moving truck into the new place – no questions asked.

I hired North Star to move my 4 bedroom house from Redondo to Newprt. I have a lot of heavy stuff and stairs so I requested 5 guys and two 26ft trucks. Joel (the foreman) and his team did an AMAZING job!!! These guys showed up at 7:30am and did not slow down until the work was finished. They worked so hard and so fast that they beat the “not to exceed price” by $400 and still showed extreme care with my stuff. All the guys were friendly and curtious and I could not have been more pleased. Ilan came to my house for the estimate and he was great to work with as well. I got 4 quotes before settling on North Star and Ilan was patient and flexible with me. All promises he made regarding price, time, etc were exceeded on moving day. I have to say one more time that the service performed was beyond my expectations and I was charged $400 less than what I agreed to with the initial quote! These guys are legit and there is no way I would even look at another company for my next move.
I was skeptical at first after looking at all good ratings about Northstar movers, but wanted to get a quote atleast. My husband actually dealt with them to the most part. He called them and got a quote based on hourly charge for a local move. They explained everything very clearly, no loopholes. The price is reasonable compared to the other quotes we got, so we went ahead with them.
We were moving from Los Angeles to Camarillo. though it is a local move, we had to pack everything perfectly. Most of our stuff is packed by the time the movers arrived. All the large items like sofa, bed etc were taken care by the movers. They loaded everything in 45 minutes (my previous aptmt is on the second floor). We grabbed some of our valuables and started to the new place after like 20 minutes the truck left. Obviously the truck reached first (luckily no traffic that day! on 405 & 101). When we reached our new place, I am very much surprised to see that they have already kept a lot of our items in the front porch of our unit. I was thinking that they will start unloading the items when we reach there.
They are extrmely fast, honest and very respectful. They haven’t charged me a penny more. The whole process took 3.5 hours(including their return time). After they left, I was still thinking is the move already over? It was like a cake walk. I will definitely use NorthStar for my future moves and recommend them to near & dear.

I used NorthStar back in July to move my stuff into their storage facility, where it has been ever since. I was very pleased with the move. I scheduled everything through Lynn and found her to be professional and helpful. The movers were great too as they were fast, but also very thorough with the wrapping. For example, I was amazed at how they packaged my glass table top. I am confident that all of my items are safe in storage. Highly recommended!!
The honor of being my 200th Yelp review goes to NorthStar Moving Corp.
NorthStar aided and abetted my escape from suburbia and moved my ridiculously large TV, library of books, and outrageously heavy furniture to Pasadena in 5 hours flat. Seriously? How is that possible? It is possible because the three lovely, hard-working, pleasant and professional gentlemen from NorthStar were amazing. They arrived in suburbia on time, busted their butts loading the truck, drove to Pasadena and busted their butts again moving my stuff up to my new home on the 4th floor. All of my possessions were treated with care. All of my furniture, including my precious behemoth TV were wrapped carefully with blankets, tape and cellophane and all of my possessions arrived at their destination in 100% perfect condition. They put all the items exactly where they belonged and even repositioned an entire room full of furniture after we realized our original design vision was not going to work out…and this did indeed involve the ridiculously large (and freakin’ heavy) TV.
I have moved many times and this is hands down the best experience I have ever had with a moving company. Oh and bonus, just when we didn’t think it could get any better…we also got a 5% discount because we mentioned Yelp. Thanks NorthStar for making my move a fantastic and effortless experience!!!

I used NorthStar moving when I was moving for Los Angeles to Austin. I needed a full service mover who would also provide storage until I find a place in Austin. I shortlisted a few moving companies that I found on the internet and requested them for a quote. I chose NorthStar because they agreed to come to my house and do a proper estimate and also because had great reviews on Yelp. Moving itself is a taxing activity and choosing a moving company isn’t a piece of cake either. If you just want to take my word then you can definitely entrust Northstar with the job of moving your belongings
The manager at Northstar came to my house for the estimation. He was on time and the estimate given was on the higher side. We set a date and time for the move. Two days prior to the moving date I had to reschedule and move the date ahead by a day. The people at Northstar were very accommodating and they obliged. On the day of the move the movers arrived on time. The movers handled all our furniture and boxes very professionally. The worked with care and in a timely manner. None of the items were damaged in the process. The day after this I received a call from Northstar with the final moving charge and this amount was about 300$ less than the estimate.
Once I reached Austin and a place, about 10 days after moving, I informed Northstar with the destination address. I was told the items would arrive in 5-7 days. However, they arrived in 4 days. A day prior to the arrival I was informed of the time of arrival. The items arrived on time. The moving assembled the furniture as required and it did not take them long. None of the items were damaged except for one my mountain bikes had a bent spoke, but I wouldn’t care too much about it.
Overall I am very happy with the way the move was handled and would highly recommend using them.

Richard and his crew arrived promptly and worked very hard. They were careful with our furnishings. They provided wardrobes which made our move a lot easier. The price was very reasonable.
NorthStar just completed a move for us and it was an excellent experience. My daughter was moving across the country to go to grad school, so she took an apartment full of furniture (sofa, bedroom set, desk, bookcases, dining room), plus over 40 boxes (kitchen stuff, books, cleaning supplies, food staples, appliances and framed artwork).
It was a substantial move and I approached it with more than a little anxiety. I did research on moving companies and found that the reported problems were frightening (damage, shipments held hostage, etc.). I put the move out to bid and found NorthStar was not the lowest but was very competitive and had by far the best reviews and recommendations, and as I worked with them, I saw that they earned their excellent reviews, from start to finish. Here’s our experience:
Estimated Cost: They gave me an estimate, based on the inventory I provided them, with easy to understand calculation of their pricing. Everything is based on weight, not the number of boxes or the amount of time it takes to load or unload, which was different from the local moves I’d done in the past. This meant that the cost was very reasonable, even for a 3,000 mile move. Samantha was our rep and she was very helpful in explaining everything, so no surprises.
Pick-Up: Erik, Melvin and two others (apologies for not getting the names) did an amazing job of wrapping furniture and loading everything and were extremely friendly and helpful. I was a careful packer but had them pack a lamp in their special boxes and was glad I did. I also purchased a dozen blankets in advance, which saved some money and they used all of them plus a few of theirs. The cost for their packing materials was less than I could get on my own. They did a careful inventory and then gave me an updated estimate.
Actual Cost: After the shipment was picked up, it was weighed, item by item, to get an actual cost. We ended up shipping significantly more than originally anticipated (not uncommon) our revised bid reflected that. Our final cost was actually less than the revised bid. Happy surprise.
Move Updates: We signed a contract based on an actual pick-up date and a window for delivery. I was nervous not knowing the actual delivery date, but Illyas, our dispatcher, provided ongoing updates and we were able to plan accordingly. We got preliminary schedule after the shipment was weighed, along the route, 24 hours in advance and 1 hour in advance. We were so grateful they got everything there within the delivery window, before my daughter started classes.
Delivery: The two people who delivered could not have been nicer. They placed furniture, assembling the bedroom set, attaching the mirror to the dresser, etc., and placed the TV and printer where they needed to go, which would have been hard for my daughter to do on her own. All boxes marked fragile were in perfect shape. Boxes not marked fragile were treated a little more roughly, but everything arrived in good shape and all boxes were intact.
Follow-Up: Both the day of delivery and after having a chance to unpack, NorthStar called to make sure everything was fine. We found a damaged lamp shade and they were great about compensating us for that (Ram was especially helpful). They have a form they emailed us and it was easy. Given the move (2,500 pounds over 3,000 miles), I was delighted that this was the only problem and they resolved it beautifully.
I wholeheartedly recommend NorthStar. It’s scary to move long distance and they made it as easy as possible.

These guys are GREAT! My move was from El Segundo to Highland Park. From the start, the people I spoke with on the phone were polite and extremely courteous. They were very efficient in scheduling the move, and followed through on everything.
The day of the move I was a little anxious, just because of the usual moving-day jitters. The crew showed up slightly early and were very cool–I felt at ease instantly. They were careful with everything(and I have a sound isolation booth that weighs almost a 1000 lbs…). They were expedient in getting to the new apartment, and loaded everything quickly, efficiently and carefully. Everything was done in just over 2 hours.
When it came to the bill, they actually charged for time, not weight(which usually is what does me in, the weight). They also gave a Yelp discount too! All in all, it was a mere fraction of what I was expecting to spend. I gave them a generous tip for their efforts.
Overall, use these guys. They are a diamond in the rough as far as moving companies go! Hooray!

Moving always sucks, but Northstar made the task as painless as it can get. My move had to be made on short notice, and when I called I was able to get an appointment for 2 days later. I talked to Samantha, who was really nice, and I was impressed by the professionalism of the company. I got a confirmation email for my time slot which was very clear in outlining their rates and policies and the fact that I would be getting a 5% discount on the service. It’s always good to get that sort of thing in writing.
The team (Alex, Adolfo, Jorge) arrived right on time and were also super nice. They worked very quickly to get everything over to my new place before my move-in time slot was up (I was moving into a high rise building). Nothing broke, and all of my things were handled with care. I am so,so grateful to them for making the move bearable. I really hope I won’t have to move again for a long time, but when I do I will call Northstar again for sure.

I recently moved homes locally in Tarzana and had a wonderful experience using NorthStar Moving. The people at the office made it easy to schedule and plan my move, and they really helped me prepare for every detail in the moving process. From parking, packing, traffic, to delivery and set-up, NorthStar Moving allayed all of my stress. When the movers arrived to our home they had big smiles and were ready to work. I was so impressed to see them lift every item carefully over stairs, around walls, and through the doorways. They cared more about the items and my home than I did! Not to mention they worked fast! The crew at my home was so friendly, courteous, and ready to lend a hand. Arriving at new place, the crew unloaded and patiently moved my furniture around for me until I knew where I wanted things to go.
I even got a call from the office making sure everything went well. This moving company has excellent customer service. From the office team to the movers in my home, everyone had same attention to detail and care for my move. I can’t recommend this moving company enough. If you are moving in Los Angeles, or anywhere, and want an easy stress free move, NorthStar Moving has the right team for you!

From parking, packing, traffic, to delivery and set-up, NorthStar Moving allayed all of my stress. When the movers arrived to our home they had big smiles and were ready to work. I was so impressed to see them lift every item carefully over stairs, around walls, and through the doorways. They cared more about the items and my home than I did! Not to mention they worked fast! The crew at my home was so friendly, courteous, and ready to lend a hand. Arriving at new place, the crew unloaded and patiently moved my furniture around for me until I knew where I wanted things to go.
I even got a call from the office making sure everything went well. This moving company has excellent customer service. From the office team to the movers in my home, everyone had same attention to detail and care for my move. I can’t recommend this moving company enough. If you are moving in Los Angeles, or anywhere, and want an easy stress free move, NorthStar Moving has the right team for you!

I used NorthStar Moving to assist me move from a 1 bedroom apartment in West Los Angeles to Santa Ana. I called several places prior to NorthStar and received a great estimate from Wendy. I told Wendy that I saw their reviews on Yelp and she gave me a 5% discount in the quote. I originally scheduled the move for the 25th of August but needed to change the date to the 19th. Their office accommodated my request to modify the date without any hassles and called me 24 hours prior to the newmove date to confirm.
The arrival time window I was given was between 8 am and 10 am. The movers arrived at 9 am and took almost 3 hours to pack up furniture and some boxes……probably because I asked them to wrap the furniture extra securely since it would be sitting in storage for awhile and not unpacked right away.
The moving crew – Aldolfo F., Alejandro, and Venancio – were polite and professional. They took great care with a new plasma TV and TV console to ensure that it was packed securely.
All in all, the furniture packing up portion took longer than I expected with 3 guys, but the moving crew made good time on the horrible 405 freeway and moved everything into storage within a half hour of arrival.
I would recommend NorthStar moving and use them again for a local move.

I was looking for a company for a local move of my one bedroom apartment. Several friends had referred me to NorthStar and when I called them for an estimate, they sent out a person the next day to do an inventory and give me an estimate. They said their quote would not exceed the estimate of 7.5 hours of work. I was told the men would arrive between 8-10am AND they showed up exactly at 8am. For the next 6 hours they worked non-stop (not even taking a bathroom break) and because they finished under the 7.5 hour estimate, the final price was several hundred dollars lower. Nothing was broken or damaged even though I had a lot of glass furniture and large paintings. I would gladly use them again.
Great movers! I moved my office and Northstar did an amazing job! The three Northstar employees did a great job of moving all of our office supplies, equipment, etc. They arrived on time, they were corteous and fast! They took the stress out of moving and made it extremely easy.
This company moved my residential location and the movers were so thorough and polite during the entire move. They arrived well before the start time, were prepared and worked efficiently together. After the move was completed, I felt so good about their service that I decided to call the office to make Ted aware how AWESOME these guys were!
I’ve used Northstar for my last two moves. Their office team is well organized and very friendly. The movers took great care of all my personal items, showed up ontime and were very easy to work with and helpful. I highly recommend Northstar Moving.
