We moved from San Francisco to New York City in December, on a short timeline and over Thanksgiving. As you can imagine (or know), packing and moving home can be a stressful time. Actually, even finding a selecting a mover you feel confident in is stressful enough! Avner and team were great. Communication around costs, timing, process and logistics on both ends, along with insurance options, was all clear and all our questions were answered quickly and clearly. The actual packing, move and delivery was on time and completely stress free. Are Moving Star the cheapest mover you can find? No. Are

In the last 20 years we've moved houses every 2 years. So we've seen many moving companies and experienced the various ways it can be done. Moving star was by far the best experience we've had! The team was very kind, professional and did a fantastic job. We all hate moving, but when it's done with a great team it makes a major difference.

Rainier Overseas Movers had Moving Star take care of my pickup, furniture wrapping and load into a shipping container for international transport. From the first contact Avner & Gil have been professional, communicative, attentive to detail, and tirelessly answered all my questions. Their moving guys were outstanding - hard-working, cheerful, packed my antique furniture with great care, and loaded all the furniture and boxes carefully into the container, strapped and braced for shipping. They handled my stuff like it was their own. Highly recommend this professional company!

We moved with Moving Star from CA to Israel and we couldn't have been happier with the experience end 2 end.

Avner and his team have done great work, whether it is the move itself, answering questions promptly and comprehensively or just delivering on each of the things they committed to do.

Strongly recommended!

I used movingstar last year Oct moving from Hong Kong back to Bay area, thinking it's gonna be complicated and alot to worry about. Surprisingly it was smoothest experience i ever expected. They walked me through step by step, giving me updates on my shipment without having me to ask them. Packing was professional and neat! I moved back a electronic piano, two bass guitar and one guitar! Everything was safe n nicely handled! They deliver fast and on time! Recommended my dad to use them and his shipment arrived today and it was just as amazing as last time! Highly recommended!

I'm very happy to share this review. Avner and Gil (and the moving crew) we're extremely professionals and we had a great experience. I've had some bad experiences with movers and that made me feel very uncomfortable dealing with them again. When we shopped around for a moving service this time I had a few coming in that reminded me why I should be wary.

But when we meet Avner both my wife and I felt we're dealing with a different persona. They're quote want the cheapest one and when we asked them for reduction as we got other quotes, Avner pointed out all the hidden fees

This company lost a big trunk which contained my winter blankets. I was moving to a much colder place and really needed them. They did not take responsibility and it was neither found nor was I compensated for their mistake. Me and my young child use sleeping bags as blankets as I could not replace what was lost as they were very good quality blankets which I expected to use for years. It has been an extremely frustrating experience and waste of my time in following up with the owner of the company who never provided a solution. There are better moving companies who will provide better services

I'm a month late on this review but this company was great! We booked a few days before we needed them and they were so accommodating. The movers were on time and moved quickly. We were very pleased with the service we received. Thank you so much

I was referred to Moving Star by Rainier Overseas Movers, whom I have used in the past and had a great experience. I needed an estimate for a complicated move--first to storage, then long distance (likely cross-country, but potentially international).

Avner and his colleagues were great. Once I made contact, he quickly set up an appointment to do an in-home survey the next day. While the initial survey was a bit heavier than I expected based on another recent move and competing quotes, Avner (with support from Rainier, another superb company) worked with me to reach an agreement, answering

You are in great hands with this company! Avner and his crew are top of the line. They take care of all the details. They moved us overseas, which is a potentially nerve wracking experience, they made it easy. The crew that packed our things were real artists. They used every inch of space in the container and nothing was damaged. Watching them work is an experience, they really know what they are doing. You can be sure that when they move you, it will be done right. :0)

Very nice, good, strong movers and crew. Needed a small furniture move and they were so courteous and helpful. One guy can lift a heavy 6-person wood table over his head and down a 30 foot walkway and lift into truck by himself without needing assistance. Good sense of balance, and Strong!! Will use them for future moves for sure.

We used Moving Star for a Bay Area (CA) to Park CIty (UT) in December 2015. Great job and would recommend to others.

Had tight schedules with moving cars and setting up on the Utah side. Avner helped make our dates happen. Made us feel comfortable they could handle our 3 bedroom move (but really 4-5 bedrooms of stuff + garage and outdoor items), especially into a winter environment. Professional in-house packers who worked tirelessly to get our items all packed. And not a single damaged item on other end.

Sure, some timing on the packing and move in dates wasn't to the hour but within a

This is a first class operation that can be trusted to provide an honest, careful and competent moving experience. Avner and Gil can provide help with moving anywhere in the U.S. and have great expertise and experience in moving individuals and families
as international movers.
They are very knowledgeable about bulky and delicate valuable items. MovingStar cares and comes through . The process of moving is always a difficult activity but Moving Star will lower your anxiety . They also can provide long term or short term storage at very competitive rates in their Fremont headquarters .

I moved with MovingStar in May of 2014 and also back in 2005.
Avner came out for a free in house estimate and I received a very professional estimate in couple of days.
I used full service moving between Campbell, CA and Rocklin, CA, they packed everything on the previous day. The guys were very nice and WOW ! they can pack!
Delivery happened on the next day, they were there on time, they unloaded everything,
not a nick on the furnitures (they wrapped it) nor on the walls an these were 2 story homes. Very impressive.
They assembled the furniture, put the boxes into the right rooms.
I unpacked

This is the second time I am using Moving Star ! First time I used them to bring my container from Israel to SF and second time was just Saturday to move my things to a new apartment within the city. They were on time, very patient, and organized. Worked fast but efficiently. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again in the future!!!

I don't know where to start. Our initial engagement started with a one day delay because the truck was not available. We decided for the storage option because we were in transition. The movers they hire do not read the instructions on the boxes and try to get everything out of the truck without considering if its "Fragile" or not. As a result, I had a lot of Riedel and European glasses broke as well as designer furniture damaged. When contacting them to find a solution, they recommended I use my own insurance. I cannot recommend MOVING STAR

Moving Star company was recommended to me by a friend when I moved to Europe for six months. Subsequently, I left all my belongings in the Bay area. Moving Star very satisfactorily managed to store my goods for me. Avner Yonai was very helpful, easy to communicate with and accommodating when I needed to access my unit after the regular business hours.
I highly recommend Moving Star. Moving Star has a professional staff with friendly attitude, I appreciate their kind help and guidance through the moving process and without a doubt i will use their services again!

I used Moving Star 6 years ago. Back then Avner, Gil and their crew did an awesome job moving us from the East Bay to the Tri-Valley area. He also shipped a container to the Philippines filled with our furniture and personal belongings. Everything arrived safely and in a timely manner.

Most recently we used Moving Star again to move from the Tri-Valley area to the Peninsula. Avner's crew worked efficiently and took great care in packing up all of our belongings. From Point A to Point B, his crew worked hard to help make our move successful.

Avner provided fair pricing and his estimates

My husband and I relocated from San Francisco to Munich Germany in April of 2010. After getting a few different bids (money was not the deciding factor when it came to selecting a company because my husbands company paid for our relocation expenses 100%) we went with Moving Star/Rainier because they were professional, straight forward, extremely easy to communicate with and were willing to work with us in getting our car shipped over, which was a huge hassle.
