Long-distance move from Dania, FL to Accord, NY

Highly recommend!

Our move with Northern Moving Systems couldn’t have gone better. They helped pack up our apartment, handled our belongings with care, and efficiently transported everything to our new home—even though it was mid-renovation, which made things more complicated. The four-person crew, led by Maris (with Alex, Vlad, and Pavel on the team), was outstanding. Maris was an excellent communicator and made sure everything went smoothly. Truly a top-tier team—worth every dollar. Highly recommend!

Excellent Long-Distance Move

I recently hired Northern Moving Systems for a long-distance move, and the experience was fantastic. The team was punctual, friendly, and handled my belongings with care. I opted for their full-service packing, and everything arrived in perfect condition. I especially appreciated the 30 days of free storage, which gave me time to settle in before moving everything into my new home. Communication was smooth, and they kept me updated every step of the way. Their price match guarantee also gave me confidence that I was getting a fair deal. Highly recommended!

Long-distance move from San Francisco, CA to Gallipolis, OH

Smooth and Stress-Free Move

Northern Moving Systems made my move so much easier than I expected. From the first call, their representatives were helpful and explained all the options clearly, including packing services and storage. I used their fragile packing option, and everything—from glassware to artwork—arrived without a scratch. I loved that they offer climate-controlled storage for free for the first month. The movers were polite, professional, and efficient. It’s clear they care about customer satisfaction. I will definitely use them again for future moves.

Great Customer Service

I was nervous about moving across the country, but Northern Moving Systems made it a breeze. Their customer service was outstanding—always available to answer my questions, even on weekends. The movers were quick but careful, and nothing was damaged during the move. I appreciated that they provided all the packing materials like boxes and bubble wrap, making my life much easier. The price was reasonable, and their price match guarantee gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend them to anyone planning a long-distance move.

Perfect for Fragile Items

I have a lot of delicate antiques and glassware, so I was worried about moving them. Northern Moving Systems offered a fragile packing service, and I’m glad I chose it. The team carefully wrapped every item with bubble wrap and labeled all the boxes clearly. Everything arrived intact, and the movers were so respectful of my belongings. I also used their storage service for two weeks, and the climate-controlled facility gave me peace of mind. This company really delivers on its promises!

Smooth Commercial Move

Our company recently relocated, and Northern Moving Systems handled the move professionally. They packed and labeled all office equipment properly, including computers and electronics. The movers worked efficiently and minimized downtime for our business, which was important to us. I also appreciated the storage service for some excess inventory—it’s clean, secure, and climate-controlled. Their team communicated clearly and delivered everything on time. For any business considering a commercial move, I highly recommend them for their professionalism and reliability.

Friendly and Helpful Team

Moving can be stressful, but the crew from Northern Moving Systems was so friendly and helpful that it made everything easier. They arrived on time, explained the entire process, and handled all my belongings with care. I used their full-service packing, and it saved me a lot of time. The free first month of storage was great because I needed a little extra time before settling in. Everything arrived safely, and I couldn’t be happier. I will definitely recommend them to friends and family.

Long-distance move from Turlock, CA to Cleveland, TN

Nice service

I did not hire Northern up front. I hired another moving company who kept trying to charge me additional fees for several days in a row. This took place right after I scheduled the service. It ended up making me mad so I canceled and retained my money. I got in contact with Northern and other than the delivery taking a little bit longer than I thought, they did a top notch job. I recommend them.

Long-distance move from Massachusetts to California

Do not use; deceptive and bad at communication

Northern Moving Systems is a headache. From the pushy sales person Danny, who was curt on the phone, to the movers being rude at pickup, and the inability for the dispatcher to get me information about my shipment. Northern Moving Systems did everything wrong. My shipment came late, one of the boxes is covered in motor oil or WD-40 for some reason.

Additionally, I was charged an extra $350 shuttle fee at the end of the delivery which was not explained to me correctly. Over the phone we discussed that there is a loading dock so that shuttle fee would not be charged, but the mover forced me to pay this.

Shishir Jakati,

Thank you for filing your review of our company. We would like to explain that your delivery window was business days. 7-21 business days is the window involving a cross-country move going over 3,000-miles. Please review the delivery windows within the order for service. The mileage between your pickup and delivery zip codes, according to GPS, is 3,065-miles.

Delivery times are only approximations. Delivery dates are not guaranteed. See below.

0-200 miles 1-3 business days.
201-500 miles 1-10 business days.
501-1000 miles 3-14 business days.
1001-1700 miles 5-18 business days.
1700-3000 miles 7-21 business days.

Northern Moving Systems is a carrier, not a broker. We have agents located in many states, who aid with our services. The three largest movers within the United States, operate in the same manner. Allied, Mayflower, and United are all carriers, with agent authority. You may view our carrier licensing by visiting the Department of Transportation' FMCSA website. You will need to input our D.O.T. number into the search box. Click submit and you will see that Northern is, indeed, a carrier. https://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/query.asp -- D.O.T. # 4216383.

You stated the estimator was rude, the crew was rude, and that you had difficulties with customer service. Sir, we are under brand new ownership and management, as of this year. We will not tolerate any of our staff being rude to a client. We pulled the database recorded calls, and no one was rude to you, sir. The shuttle is a service that is required to complete deliveries where there is no access for a semi-truck. There are no hidden fees within our contracts. Everything is in 14-18-point font. Below, is the section taken directly from your order for service, which addresses the shuttle, in the same font as in the order for service.

SHUTTLE CHARGE:

If the authorized motor vehicle carrier/agent cannot get within 100 yards of the customer's given address, the customer agrees to pay and will be required to pay, an additional $1.00 per cubic foot with a $350.00 minimum, for the shuttle to bring the shipment from the designated moving truck, to the customers home. No mover adds this charge, during the scheduling process. It is not clearly known, in many cases, whether a shuttle will be required to complete the delivery, or not. The final decision is left solely to the driver's discretion, unless traffic laws prohibit entrance to the area, or if the laws prohibit the extended parking of the delivery unit.

We understand that many people who use a national moving company do not understand the mechanics behind a cross-country transport. That is why we go into detail explaining our processes. You did not understand the delivery windows were business days. You did not understand why we had to utilize a shuttle to complete the delivery. You thought that we were a broker. Sir, our customer service reps equip each client with an abundance of information regarding our company, and the services that they will receive. We provide this information verbally, and through sequential emails. We don't know what we could have done differently in this case in order to explain our processes more clearly. We feel the actual reason for this review is the shuttle-charge. We only use shuttle's if they are completely necessary. The crew must perform twice the labor in the advent of a shuttle being utilized. They basically have to unload two trucks. This can be time consuming, as well. We do not enjoy using shuttle's, but it is an industry-wide process, and it must be done in certain deliveries which prohibit a semi-truck from gaining close access to the delivery point.

We are very sorry for the damages associated with your transport. As discussed over the phone, Northern Moving Systems does have a claims process. The phone number and website address to submit a claim, have been provided to you. The agreement between yourself and Northern Moving Systems is outlined in the contract. The coverage you selected for your move, and the terms and conditions of that coverage, are available within the agreement. Please know that we are very sorry for the damage of your personal belongings. We hope you find the claims process satisfactory. The coverage level selected by you, will be enforced, and your Claim will be handled accordingly.
