Review by Russell Z.

I am way way way way overdue on this review, but wanted to get this out the door before I run out of even more time.

These were the movers that helped move our stuff from Fullerton, CA to Hillsboro, OR. They were super super helpful, friendly, and surprisingly, FAST!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying movers are generally slow, but it’s circumstantial: My pick up location in Fullerton is on the 4th floor and the elevator is slow as all-hell going up and down.

Meanwhile, my drop-off location in Hillsboro OR where I currently live has stairs. TWO FLIGHTS of stairs, cuz it’s a townhome and all.

But let’s focus on the pickup location for a sec.

So the movers gave me a courtesy call 24 hours in advance to let me know they would arrive between 8 and 11 AM the following day.

Came the moving day and they showed up within that time frame as initially promised. I gave Arthur a tour of the premises, handed him my keys, and told him I would not be around because I needed to catch a plane. Long story, I got massively screwed by a different moving company, and Northstar was there to help me out. So, thank you very much there.

Anyway, while I was at the airport a few mere hours later, Arthur gave me a call and wanted to FaceTime me to show me his team’s work (and of course to reassure me that things were going well). I however do not own an iPhone, so FaceTime was out of the picture, no pun intended. I just trusted them.

That trust paid off.

The delivery team that dropped off my household goods in Hillsboro OR a few days ago brought everything with little to zero damage, and they were literally in and out in under 2 hours. And they delivered in the rain, SUPER kudos to them!

But wait, there’s more. When the goods arrived, I noticed that some things that I had packed myself were repacked. I looked suspiciously; I didn’t remember wrapping up my TV in five blankets, but Northstar certainly did! I guess they unwrapped my flimsy one-blanket and re-covered it with five total blankets to really ensure that the TV would not break during transit… Same thing with my bar stools and glass coffee table and such. I’m telling ya, Northstar is thorough as fuck.

So in short, these movers are worth it. If you get a lower quote elsewhere, keep in mind, you get what you pay for. I tried moving with a different company that offered half the amount NorthStar quoted me at, and they completely ghosted me on the day of the move. NorthStar is worth your time and money. Trust me.
