      Absolutely horrible. Started with a call from ******* G who stated that my move would cost no more than $11k based on a video call I did. I opened every closet, cabinet, walked the outside of the house, opened shed and spoke about 2 8x10 storage sheds that were 75% full each. I also stated that I needed them to pack 4 sets of china and special pack 3 miniature dollhouses. I spoke of a horrible move with Corbra Van Lines and that I didnt want a repeat of that. This move here is my 47th move. The 4th move I had to pay for myself and not job related. Due to health issues I had to add the packing of my shed on to the service and agreed to the dollar amount and paid it. Day of move. Showed driver around, showed him a box in the shed I could not reach that I needed to pack collectibles and he stated he would do that. Nope that didnt happen. My ***** ******* were packed with one sheet of paper and placed at the bottom of a box with dishes on top. Yes several were broken and there were signed pieces. Found out that the Special Program they use to determine the amount of space and boxes you have, doesnt work or the employee just didnt care. Apparently I was given 147 total boxes. That included the storage sheds. Cigarettes butts everywhere, orange peels everywhere at both ends of the move. Doll houses were not packed special one had a dining chair on top of it the other had a floor fan and the third had an antique wagon and the legs to a table. None of which were protected. Dishes werent wrapped just placed in box a plastic mug had 3 sheets of paper and 4 nice German china plates had 1 sheet of paper. My boxes had been opened and looked through. A credit card that was in my purse(in the bathroom with my dog) was found in a box. Also a medication that was also in that same bathroom was found in a different box and was empty. I watched these idiots drop my boxes and furniture and not give it a second thought. The driver said not in front of the customer

      There were not additional items added on the day of pick up. If the lady doing the virtual estimate actually did her job correctly we wouldnt be in this position. What did I add on the day of pick up? It was packing, because I paid extra for that with ***, and the dollhouses were not packed special and the China was done horribly. The driver said there was no air compressor listed on the intake sheet, but on mine it was. Also it stated that there were 2 8x10 storage sheds that were 75% full each, so that is not an added charge. I packed 95% of my picture frames that I originally asked for your company to pack for me. She asked me if I would be packing more than 200 boxes. I told her I dont know. Where she came up with 147 is beyond me. I did discuss this with ******* *. He said that was just boxes not items. The driver said it was items. The lady knew that both storage sheds had plastic totes and boxes with limited furniture that I listed for her. Guess your calls are not recorded for quality assurance. I refused the hush money from your company and the transport company to prevent me from leaving a bad review. I was even told to take this review down immediately or else. Yeah Keep your HUSH money. $500 doesnt buy my silence.

      I turned down the $500 hush money offered by a company called **************************. Also when the person DL from that company became DG working for ************************************. I also contacted that company with no response as to if they knew of DL or **. Very suspicious. I DID NOT ADD any items to my shipping order on the day of pickup. A week prior to pickup I spoke with *** and added packing of my garden shed. Which I PAID for!! What exactly did I ADD to my shipping??? Can you prove it wasnt shown in that video? Because Im very sure I can prove in photos that it was in my home when the video call was made. Maybe you all need to start recording your virtual tours and when you state that you record the phone calls, actually do!! Because if you actually do have my phone calls recorded then a lawyer and a judge would love to have you in a court room. Also how many complaints did you get for September/October 2024. You all were having bad weather due to a tropical storm or hurricane and still insisted on doing the video call on that day and not waiting until the connection was better. Like I said I opened every cabinet, closet and left no stone unturned. Maybe I should have counted each pair of socks and underwear for her on the video call. This is my second response to your same response that's came through twice. Like I said before $500 hush money isnt enough to compensate for what I had to deal with. Also signing an *** that is not clearly marked NDA. The language used was for a pre business contract between two businesses. As it stands now, my reviews are my compensation. Just like all the other negative reviews you have. The *** is a powerful platform. Straighten up your act or you will really tick off the wrong person.

      This service booked me movers through a third party. The price was very high, but they explained that it was moving season and I was getting 3 movers. Well on the day of moving the movers-showed up with only 2, the truck had other peoples belonging, and they booked movers that lived 3 hrs away from me so they were an hour late. Several thousand dollars laterI still had to book a second moving company the next day. Whybc they sent a truck that had other peoples belongings and all of my stuff could not fit. I gave them a very thorough list before they got there. This proceeded to double my price. I would not recommend this service.

      ******** Thank you for submitting your review. It seems that this review was submitted prior to our ability to address the issue. We recently dispatched two movers to you because the third was unwell. We had to remove him from the route to avoid risking your health or that of your family. To make amends, we lowered the hourly rate for the other two workers, which you accepted as a resolution. There was additional inventory present on site that we were unaware of until our arrival. You opted not to ship all of your belongings to avoid incurring extra shipping costs. This is why you arranged for another truck the following day. When we arrived, we had sufficient space on our truck for the original list of items you hired us to transport. However, we did not have enough capacity for all the inventory present, but we could have sent a second truck if you had chosen to do so. Instead, you rented your own truck and transported the remaining items the next day. We even offered you some additional compensation, which you accepted. This transfer was completed through *****, and we sent the discount to your Venmo account. There is truly no justification for this review. Ms. ******* we wish you all the ********* Northern

      Do not hire them. Liars and thieves.Nothern moving systems is a ripoff. They will lie so they can get your business . The manager ******, expert in lying. Gave me a price , however, he didn't wrote down all the items I was moving ; pick/choose what to write in the inventory ******* the day before the move they charged me more money.Furthermore, the movers also asked for more money. The driver (who was from a third party moving company Best Price) said my inventory did not match with what ******/Will sold me.Furthermore, my furniture was not delivered on time. The movers cracked the screen of my 65 in TV and broke a dinning chair.Finally, the driver ***** who deliver the furniture, was in a hurry and took our copy of the signed paperwork and denied it. Do not hire them. Run while you can. Otherwise, you will loose lots of money and will end up with broken furniture.

      *********,

         We sincerely apologize for the damage to some of your items upon arrival. We have provided you with the necessary information to initiate the claims process. Please submit your claim at your earliest convenience, and we will prioritize the reimbursement. Our records indicate that you supplied our estimator with a list of 102 items, which formed the basis of the quote you received. The service order was dispatched to you, and you confirmed the transport of these 102 items. Our estimator accurately documented every item you indicated for shipment, ensuring nothing was omitted from the estimate. However, upon our arrival, you included 12 additional items, which increased the total shipment volume by approximately 100 cubic feet. Our policy dictates that volume charges are adjusted only when extra items are added to a client's service. We regret that you perceived our estimator's actions as questionable; however, our review of the database records confirms otherwise. On the day of pickup, we assured you that we would honor the original price based on the initial list of 102 items you provided. We provided you with that option, as well as the choice to ship all goods available on-site at the adjusted cost, which you selected. There were no disputes regarding the increased charges during the pickup; you did not express any concerns about the additional fees until this review was posted. On the pickup day, you acknowledged your understanding of the price increase. The driver's comment regarding the inventory discrepancy was due to the presence of extra items on-site that were not accounted for, rather than a mismatch. We take responsibility for your damaged items, which is why we promptly provided you with claims information. You were encouraged to file your claim yesterday, and we even mentioned our intention to offer you a discount as a gesture of goodwill. We invite you to reach out to us for further discussion on this matter. Our company is committed to going above and beyond to address any issues with our services, and this situation is no exception. Please contact us at your earliest convenience, and we will assist you. We sincerely apologize for the damage to your items and are confident that you will find our claims process adequate. We extend our heartfelt apologies once again.

      I need to tell about my wonderful experience with Northern moving system at ******** in ***************. I had to move the contents of 2 lockers back to my home state in *********. I had used another mover years ago, but they were booked. A friend recommended Northern moving system and they did not disappoint me. I had a truck reservation to get a large truck in the area, but unfortunately the truck never arrived due to reservation breakdown. At the same time, Northern moving system arrived at the storage locker on time but I had no truck. I had to go to almost ***** to get the truck which killed the day and was a huge problem. Now that event killed my day and plans and brought fear in delays for the movers. Not this time, Northern moving system stepped up big time and early the next day with 4 great guys (Yosdanny, ****** B, ****** and I cannot remember name of the 4th guy). They did a great job as I had planned to throw away old mattresses and trash away the previous day, they took care of that as well. All 5 stars from me as I do not make reviews very often but they deserve this high rating so use them for your needs. Their customer service is top notch and follow up on all your need. Happy moving new customers.

      We just moved yesterday. I was dreading the move for weeks. Fortunately there was no reason for it. Starting with *****, who came over to give us the estimate, all the way to every mover, everything went even better than what was promised. The movers; Zeke, Tyrell, and ******* were amazing. Not only did they make the whole move easy and seamless, but they were so incredibly helpful and absolutely lovely!! Every box and piece of furniture was wrapped carefully and delivered and placed in the proper rooms. They made moving easy, stress free and at times even fun! My husband ******, my daughter *** and I, *******, were all impressed and happy with all aspects of the move!

      We had the pleasure of having Zeke, Tyrell, and *** as our movers. They were efficient and worked very quickly. They took care to protect all of our belongings and thought out of the box to ensure that everything fit. We have read a lot of horror stories about moving companies and are grateful to have chosen Northern moving system for our move.

      These guys were great. Extremely efficient and very careful with all my belongings. Very patient in where we wanted different items to be placed. I also liked the fact that the fee was determined based on items moved. Some companies start dragging their feet during the move to add on additional fees. This company does not. They were great ??

      ****, Thank you for this great review! Yes, we charge by the items shipped, according to the volume occupied by those items, within our transport units. This is the fairest method in the industry. The only way your volume charges ever increase, is if you add additional items to your order for service. If you ever need our help again, please give us a call. Thank you fdor your business.

From the first call through the pickup and move/deliver; everyone I dealt with was very professional and helpful. The movers, ******, **** and ***** were great!! They arrived on time as stated, worked quickly and safely. They removed all furniture and packed/wrapped everything so there would be no damage. At the new location all contents were delivered and set up as requested. *** and ***** thank you very much.
