    Kept calling me over and over. I couldn't reach Erika or anyone I had spoken to before.

    Worst Nightmare! This company presents itself as professional, takes your deposit, and once they have your furniture demands a much higher price! I had communicated thoroughly and clearly. Sent pictures of all items. Counted boxes, gave the final count and got a final price from Erika. Today the movers (5 men) arrived at my house, loaded everything into their truck that already had someone else's items in the back, and called me. They said that instead of my move costing the original $2967, or the updated $3604, it was going to be over $6000. "Will" with his extremely strong Hispanic accent, wanted me to ok this or he was going to unload my stuff back into the house. With it being the end of the month they may have thought that I was under pressure to move out right away. Nope. I had already agreed to pay the month of February rent, so I told them to unload it. Id rather find new movers who have integrity and do what they say they're going to do, and don't try to hold their clients personal items hostage. They didn't put my belongings back into the house, but left them out in my garage to the rats and exposure to weather.

    I cannot say enough horrible things about our experience with Bison Relocation. We reached out after seeing an ad on Facebook. The initial quote was given after we went over everything in the house to be moved. We added a few things to the estimate a few days before moving day and the estimate was adequately adjusted. We were told that the crew would disassemble all furniture, TV's etc and wrap and load and would then unload and reassemble at our new home. I On moving day 6 guys showed up, one clearly in charge and 5 other workers. They began to disassemble and wrap everything. One worker had his music blaring on his phone while he sang along. Several of the workers only spoke Spanish, they had no clue that I also speak Spanish and they 'joked' and made disparaging remarks about my husband as they packed up our house (my husband does not speak Spanish and I did not tell him what they were saying until they were gone because I didn't need him confronting them). After everything was moved out of the house and onto the driveway the guy in charge came in and asked us to step outside. Half of our stuff was on the truck, many things still remained to be loaded, all of which were on our inventory list. He told us that we had reached our limit and anything further loaded on the truck would cost extra. Of course we needed all of our stuff, washer/dryer etc so we did the only thing we could do and told him to load it. After they finished loading he informed us that we owed an EXTRA $3,000 for going over our estimated space. Again, every single thing they hauled was on our inventory list prior to moving day. They know they have you by the short hairs because you need you stuff and have not made any arrangements for a Uhaul or other form of transport because we hired them to move all of our stuff. He then told us they would be leaving that same day, delivery was marked ASAP, it would be hauled in the truck they loaded it on and no other customers would have stuff on that truck. Fast forward to the day he said it would arrive, we called the moving company since we hadn't heard anything and were advised it would be another 5-6 days before our stuff arrived. We waited a couple days and called again, dispatch had the driver call us directly to answer our question of arrival date, he said he was in New Mexico and wouldn't arrive for 3-4 more days. He also informed us he was in an 18 wheeler (our stuff was originally loaded onto a 32' truck and we were told that's what it would stay and what it would be delivered in). Another lie. The driver told us it didn't look like we could handle a semi delivery to our home without blocking the road (not many people can if you live in a neighborhood) however we had no idea the delivery would be in a semi. The driver told us that if he couldn't pull up to the house it would be an additional $1000 for them to rent a smaller truck, move our things to that truck and deliver it. We told them we would not be paying any additional money, he would have to block the road and unload at our driveway. When he finally arrived he VERY begrudgingly blocked the road and unloaded along with 3 other guys. There had been an add placed on Craigslist giving our address looking for help to unload and those were the helpers that arrived. They brought things inside and assembled some things but the driver refused to reassemble several items even though we were told the price included reassembly at the new home. All the knobs on our washer AND dryer were broken off and both machines unusable. Our roll top desk was caved in and would no longer roll open. They stripped the screws on our bed frame during disassembly, every box I have unpacked so far has had something broken in it. Too many things broken to list here. The driver spoke to everyone very aggressively and made snide comments about the helpers and the State we live in. He had me write down the things I had seen that were broken and was discouraging me from marking all of the items that were broken saying that I have a better chance of my claim being processed if I only put the most important items down. He said that the people that packed up our home were just 'telling us what we wanted to hear' when asked why they weren't reassembling all items as agreed. He refused to take away the cardboard and plastic the company had used to wrap our furniture. There are just so many things I could go on and on. If you value your items and your money DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They are clearly running a racket and out to grab money from families who are in a tough spot knowing they need all of their stuff hauled and unable to make other arrangements on moving day.

    First of all, pre-sales pitch was okay. Then you entrust them with everything. Before realizing that this company doesn't really care about your things. Whether everything is delivered or not. When you call them back to ask for receipt after money is given they'll promise to call you back and take care of your concern. But that's gonna take forever. Sometimes they answer your call, and voila! They're talking to somebody from another phone for their next client. Three boxes didn't arrive. They said they still have it in their possession. They don't know when to deliver it.

    The police got involved so we can get our stuff off the truck.

    Don't be scammed by this company, the price more than doubled from the initial quote. The gentleman in charge added a $3500 cancellation fee to the signed contract after my daughter signed it and tried to say it was done before. The photos speak for themselves. It is though they think they have you by the balls because you're moving that you'll just sign it and pay the extra they quote you. He also called me crazy because he didn't know my name. I was not mean or crazy. He needs some Jesus in his life!

    See all

    Foreman: Jesus and Jose…read more Extremely pleased with services. Moved locally from DTLA to Sawtelle area. No issues with furniture being damaged. Everything was wrapped in blankets/wraps appropriately. They also took apart my girlfriend's IKEA bedframe and put it back together for us in the new apartment. Everything went smoothly. They had extra boxes for us to purchase if needed.

    Do Not Reccomend, be warned…read more I hired this company because of its strong reviews and was willing to pay more for a professional, efficient move. Unfortunately, my experience was the opposite. I paid about $1,650 before tip, roughly $1,800 total, and ended up with damaged furniture, a damaged wall, a broken TV stand, and an excessively long move. Two of the three movers appeared to speak almost no English, and the third spoke limited English and had to translate for the others. The issue was that the crew could not reliably understand or follow instructions. Several times I made specific requests and was told "OK, OK," only for the crew to continue doing exactly what I had asked them not to do. At one point I had to repeat myself about five times and finally stop them and insist they change the loading order. It should not require an argument to get movers to follow a clear instruction. I own expensive Stickley furniture and other high-end pieces and explicitly told the crew that several items needed exceptional care. I repeatedly asked for more padding and blankets because certain pieces were not adequately protected. On at least two occasions I specifically asked for another blanket, and the mover simply repositioned the existing blankets and kept wrapping. When the furniture was unwrapped, I found scuffs on leather, scratches and chips in wood, marks on my TVs, a broken leg on my nearly new TV stand, and damage to several other pieces. The problem seemed less like laziness and more like lack of experience, organization, and leadership. The time reinforces that concern. My previous move involved significantly more belongings, more preparation by the movers, and a destination about 30 minutes farther away. It also used three movers and was completed in about 5.5 hours, including double drive time. Based on that, I expected this smaller move to take about four hours, five at the absolute most. Instead, it took about eight. Everything except furniture was already packed, I had removed many fragile and awkward items myself, and I had reserved a loading area and dedicated elevator. Even so, individual trips between the apartment and truck were taking roughly 20 minutes despite the distance being only about 32 steps each way. I expected roughly $800-$1,000 plus tip. Instead, I paid about $1,650 plus tip. In my estimation, I paid at least $650-$800 more because of the crew's inefficiency and lack of experience. The most unacceptable incident involved damage to my old apartment. Near the end of the load-out, I found a substantial fresh gouge/chip next to an electrical outlet. I immediately brought it to the movers' attention, and they denied causing it. I had plugged my vacuum into that exact outlet and vacuumed the area no more than ten minutes earlier. The damage was not there then, and it was there after the movers worked there. Damage can happen during a move. What bothered me was being told something that repeatedly that, was plainly not credible. I contacted the company immediately and sent photos. I had to follow up repeatedly before being told the claims department would contact me. The following business day came and went without contact, leaving me to address the damage with my landlord. There was also an issue with the drive between locations. Before leaving, the lead mover and I compared Google Maps and both showed about 29 minutes. The truck then took a different route and arrived about 11 minutes later. Because the company charges double drive time, that effectively became about 22 billable minutes @ 200 per hour. The workers were personable and they did work. My criticism is that the company sent a crew that appeared inadequately trained, inadequately supervised, inefficient, unable to communicate effectively, and unable or unwilling to follow clear instructions regarding expensive property. I chose this company because its reviews made me believe paying a premium would buy professionalism, efficiency, and care. That is not what I received. I would not use this company again and cannot recommend them

    I contacted NorthStar about three weeks before I was set to move. The entire pre-moving process was…read moreeasy and efficient. We set up a video call to review the pieces of furniture that needed to be moved and number of boxes. They sent over an estimate which was reasonable. When the day of the move came, I was shocked at how careful and quickly the guys wrapped and loaded the truck. They treated everything with more care than some of my junky stuff deserved. It was a hot day (90+) but the guys didn't let that slow them down. They packed up a two bedroom apartment in a little under 3 hours. When I met them at the new place they put everything in the right place and reassembled tables and desks. Moving is always stressful so I'm incredibly happy I called NorthStar!

    I was referred to this company by a friend and had a great experience with them, so I was honestly…read moreshocked that mine was the complete opposite. I filled out the online form and got a call shortly after. They told me I had to schedule a virtual meeting before getting any estimate, but the earliest meeting was two days away and my move was happening only a few days later. Because timing was tight, I simply asked if they could give me a rough hourly rate or general range. I already knew how many movers I likely needed, what size truck I was looking for, and had spoken with many similar moving companies and knowing what they usually offer. Instead, the salesperson basically told me it could be "$2,000 or $10,000" without asking any questions to narrow anything down. When I said I needed to check my calendar because the proposed meeting time was difficult, she became impatient and rushed me for an answer. I explained that I had other appointments and might need to pass because of the timing -- and before I could even finish my sentence, she hung up on me. That was extremely rude and honestly shocking. Regardless of pricing or availability, basic customer service means letting someone finish speaking before hanging up. Based on this experience, I would be very hesitant to trust them with an actual commercial move. !!Be cautious!!
