Edgar and team were fast, efficient, and friendly. They took care of our move on a Sunday morning and helped make our transition to WC less stressful.

Junior, Wendell, and Kevin arrived at the right time. The lead, Junior, immediately walked the house with me to take inventory of the items to be moved and to go over paperwork. Once they got settled on what to pack, they worked nonstop, carefully protecting and loading our inventory. They were all very professional, courteous, and respectful. They were fast, yet did quality work. They even wrapped some paintings for us to take in our truck. I would recommend these guys to anyone. Nice job and thank you for making the experience a pleasant one guys!

Haitham, Jason, and Carlos were great. They arrived right on time and packed up super fast, including disassembling some pretty tricky furniture and putting it back together again in the new place. This is the second time I've used Northstar in the past year and will definitely use them again.

Great. They even let us reschedule the date as long as it was 24 hours before the move.

We had a great experience with NorthStar movers. They showed up on time at 9am, everybody was courteous and professional. They packed up a 4 bedroom house including garage and outdoor equipment and had the truck full by 2 pm. We moved a year ago and the other movers weren't done with half that much in the same amount of time. They took great care of all of our furniture and things and everything arrived in excellent condition. Highly recommend. We'd definitely hire them again.

From our experience talking to several moving companies, we learned something everyone should keep in mind when hiring a moving. While some movers may be a bit faster or slower than others, the number of person-hours required for a move depends mostly on how much stuff there is to move and pack and distance from the truck to the front doors). In terms of price, compare companies on their hourly rate and the size crew not their total estimate. An estimate that's 20% lower because they think it will take 2/3 the time, is actually MORE expensive. Also, unless you're moving a 2-bedroom apartment or smaller, it's worthwhile to pay for a larger crew to do things faster. They gave us a detailed estimate at a fair price that was very competitive in the end we chose a different mover we liked just a bit better.

Ok - did not set up as told when I moved. Some breakage. One wet box.

It seems like there's no such thing as a "great" moving company. My research left me with the impression that the industry as a whole is rather prone to sloppy work and dishonesty. My apprehension over choosing one led me to Angies List and I picked North Star because they seemed to have the best reputation. The short story is, all of my stuff made it with minimal damage and the price was reasonable. My complaints are: -Movers arrived 4 hours early to pick up my stuff and I was not ready. They pressured me to let them in early to start packing up, which ended up working out fine but was stressful. -Arrival was delayed due to re-route, but actually this wasn't the worst because they credited me for each day the truck was late which brough the final price down. -Delivery guy didn't call ahead so it was a bit of a surprise when he called to say he was at my new apartment, Was a bit disruptive to my day not to be able to plan this ahead of time, but from what I have read this is par for the course with moving companies. -Biggest complaint was confusing billing. There was a lot of back and forth and various contractors calling their "managers" to confirm costs, etc on both pickup and delivery. It is not a simple flat fee...it's a whole process of adding and subtracting fees and discounts until they ultimately come up with a number and then that's what you have to pay. -Movers who dropped off made me write down my credit card number on a piece of paper which didn't make me feel great about the security of my information.
Response from NorthStar Moving Company

"Dear Angie's List Member, We're genuinely sorry that we failed to be 'great' for you. It's always our goal to exceed your expectations, not fall short of them. I know words can't set your mind at ease, but you were only asked to write down your credit card number because we were experiencing issues with our server that day. All your personal information is completely safe and secure and we take your trust very seriously, not only with your personal information but with your belongings. We wish we could offer you a flat fee for your move, but unfortunately the nature of the moving industry is that each move is a little bit different and therefore prices vary. We try to be incredibly transparent about our rates and any potential charges that may occur, including in writing when we send you your confirmation email. Again, you have my apologies that we did not exceed your expectations; we very much hope you will give us the opportunity to do so again in the future. Very truly yours, Lauren Fitzgerald Client Loyalty Team"

From start to finish, it went great. They did a video chat walkthrough with me to get a "not to exceed" estimate. The movers themselves, led by Jeremey Utu, were prompt, professional, courteous, and worked very hard all day (about 10 hours of heavy lifting). Furniture was disassembled and wrapped, and then reassembled at our new house. They communicated with us very well so that things went where they were supposed to. I would not hesitate to call them again.

It went great Jose, Lulo and Darwin were friendly, careful and fast. They finished several hours sooner than the not to exceed estimate. There were a few bits that were a little tricky in the new place, In one instance Darwin and Lulo had to remove the legs of a desk in order to get it through the door of the room, These guys were terrific, polite, careful and speedy all in good humor. I couldn't have asked for a better team to move me. To top the great service, I bought a coupon through angie's list for $50 that was good for $150 off the total bill.
