Review by Sylvia B.

Moving is such a stressful experience, and if you want to make your life easier, get the right movers. Emphasis on “the right.” I think we’ve all heard or experienced horror stories about movers– your stuff is junk to them and they know you’ve got no other choice than to let them do their thing on the big day, so usually they don’t give a crap. Almost always there’s a broken item, and usually it’s the one you’re most attached to! Murphy’s law! NorthStar Moving, however, prides itself on positive feedback. Really! I’ve had Ron, my moving “consultant,” gently nudge me once or twice because I promised him a good review because I was so happy with them and didn’t follow through. Are you still stuck on “moving consultant?” Allow me to explain… When you call NorthStar to inquire about your move they offer to have someone come to your place, assess your situation, and give you a quote and a game plan– all free of charge and free of commitment. So, I was lucky enough to get Ron. He came over, took a look around, asked a few questions, and told us to go to the movies. Yes, he did. My boyfriend and I were already feeling overwhelmed with how much packing we thought we had to do, and he reassured us that it wasn’t so bad, to do 2 boxes a day and we’d be fine. “Really? Just 2 boxes a day until our move? But what about wrappi…” “We’ll take care of that?” Ron would respond. “But what about….” “We’ll handle that too.” “So you mean we don’t have to empty the…” “Nope, we’ll do that. You should go see that movie you want to see.” Wow, my moving experience just got a whole lot less stressful, and we hadn’t even started yet. Then, Ron gave us a quote which he explained in detail. He gave a us a worse case scenario quote, included all of the fees (driving, wrapping, etc.) and let me tell you, it was so reasonable! And he told me about this coupon on yelp to save us $50. He assured us that even if the move took longer, or something unexpected came up, the price he gave us was the max. That felt incredible. I absolutely despise when companies tack on fees in the end that end up costing you a ton more than you were expecting. Not NorthStar! And then there’s the movers– Adolfo’s team was awesome. So respectful, relaxed, and CAREFUL! Although they were quick as lightning, I mean they’re professionals, so why was I surprised, they wrapped everything thoroughly and carefully. Nothing was broken– and we have delicate items (not because they’re expensive but because they’re from IKEA). Not even the wobbliest piece of wood board was cracked. My boyfriend and I were thoroughly impressed. There wasn’t one hitch on our moving day, and it wasn’t a penny over what Ron said. We’re moved in with all of our belongings in perfect condition. Will definitely use NorthStar again! Happy Moving.
