Out-of-State Moving Service
I served the US Navy for over 20+ years, completing 12 household goods moves during that time. Now retired, my recent move using Northern Moving Systems has got to be the worst move I?ve had the displeasure to experience. Goods were to be delivered in 3-14 days, but, actually took 65 days with goods being kept in storage for over 2 months. Northern Moving has extremely poor customer service and fails to return phone calls. There were significant upcharges due to ?excessive cubic feet?, resulting in charges almost double the original estimate. When my goods finally arrived (after at least a dozen phone calls), there was extensive damage to multiple items and missing articles. If you ever plan to use Northern Moving Systems for a household goods move, I recommend simply dousing your goods with gasoline and setting everything ablaze; it will be cheaper in the long run and cause less anxiety.

Finding an affordable moving company that you can actually trust is rare, but Northen Moving Systems delivered on both fronts. Their initial quote fit comfortably into my budget, and I was thrilled to find that they stayed true to their word—there were absolutely no hidden fees or surprise upcharges at the end of the move. The crew worked incredibly hard, remained professional, and made the entire process seamless. Exceptional value for the level of service provided.

I’ve had the opportunity to see the team’s professionalism and dedication firsthand. They work hard and handle belongings with care, and make the moving process as smooth as possible. If you’re looking for a company that values customer service and puts in the effort, Northern Moving Systems is worth considering.

Absolutely Terrible Experience. Avoid This Company. I would strongly recommend avoiding Northern Moving Systems.
Our household furniture was picked up from our home in California on July 1st for our move to Texas. Before booking, we were told the typical delivery timeframe was 5?17 days, allowing for possible weather or mechanical delays. Based on that information, we expected our belongings to arrive within a reasonable window.
My husband started calling on day 5 to check on the status of our shipment, and every time we called, no one could tell us where our belongings were or provide an estimated delivery date. We received little to no communication unless we reached out first, and even then, no one seemed to have any answers.
Now it?s July 15th, and we were finally informed that our furniture is still sitting in California. To make matters worse, they pushed our delivery window all the way out to July 29th. We were also told that although they make deliveries 7 days a week

This is the second time I’ve hired a moving company and there has never been one so caring like this one. They took ever precaution to make sure my items were transported safely. I’m so thankful for the work they have done for me.

We are sitting in our SC home for a week now with no movers. We are paying $12000 for them to bring our things from NH to SC.
When contacted today for a definitive time frame, their reply was ,
? Hi Ms. Golden, Per dispatch - still staging at this point trying to get it loaded sometimes this week, they will let the customer know when its in transit , Thx, Diane
Not at all helpful.
I wouldn?t use this company unless you don?t mind waiting up to 14 business days.

Northern Moving Systems helped my family move from the Chicago area to FL. I’ve had bad experiences with moving companies in the past so i was nervous. They exceeded all expectations & ended up making my move sooo smooth. Thanks Northern!

I had just received a promotion I was waiting 5 yrs for! They told me I had to be there in 2 weeks!!! I started getting anxiety as how can I move so fast with a 3 full bedroom home! After ALLOT of research I just typed in 3 top moving companies in US and Northern moving systems was 1 of the 3 after calling one of the other top 3 I called Northern and got a salesperson Bryan who after I explained my circumstance he made me feel so comfortable,was SO professional and honest about delivery time !(the other company told me 2 days which I thought sounded too good! ) as I just received my delivery on Saturday Well, I went with Northern moving systems, just received my delivery on Saturday, and as I promised my personal rep Brian if all went well, I would write a great review and after doing six moves, I’ve never had such professional moving company from start to finish and someone there by my side anytime I needed it! I highly recommend you at least speak to Northern moving systems !
Response from Northern Moving Systems, Inc.
"Jodi, We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to submit this excellent review. Our clients are highly valued, and we consistently strive to exceed expectations in every service we provide, ensuring that our clients are as satisfied as possible. We make every effort to deliver accurate information regarding our delivery schedules. However, this can be challenging due to unpredictable traffic conditions. Weather also significantly impacts our operations. We always aim to complete our shipments promptly and safely. It brings us great joy to know that you appreciated the professionalism of our team. When selecting our employees, we prioritize finding the very best candidates. Our packers undergo a rigorous 16-hour certification course to master proper packing techniques. Not all moving companies offer certification programs like ours. We believe that investing in our workforce yields substantial benefits for our organization. We are thrilled that you were pleased with our services. Thank you for your generous feedback and for choosing to do business with us! Northern Moving Systems Team"

I hired the moving company Norther Moving Systems after speaking with Wesley. Then I spoke with Will on 6/25/2025 to discuss the pre move and had some missing items corrected and added to the list of items to move. The original cost for the move quoted was $1,995 where I paid a deposit of $595. I then had to pay an additional $520 for the changes and to prepare for the move. I asked to cancel the move as I felt too rushed in making the decision on the additional items. I was told that I would not be refunded my money that I have paid and would have up to 2 years to use their services. This will not be feasible as I will be moving to my home that I purchased in Virginia. After reviewing the list that I had with the company for items to be moved, I realize that I will still have a lot of items to move on my own. This will not be feasible for me at all. I will need to find another company that can move all my items at a reasonable cost. I just want to cancel this move with Northern Moving Systems and get my money refunded so that I can hire a company that can accommodate more of my items at a reasonable price. I am under tremendous stress as I have to be out of the house soon and have the house painted before my vacate date. Please assist me with this so that I can avoid any legal issues.
Response from Northern Moving Systems, Inc.
"Dear Tresseline Lewis, We regret that we were unable to assist with your move. We sincerely apologize, but we are unable to refund your deposit. This is in accordance with our company policy regarding cancellations. Our policy is not unique within the industry; rather, it is a standard practice across the sector. No national moving company issues refunds for deposits once the move dates have been confirmed. As previously mentioned, we are open to allowing you to reschedule your move within the next two years, and you may apply your full deposit towards that future relocation. Should you wish to take advantage of this two-year guarantee, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you, and we wish you a pleasant day."

Hello my name is Mitch. When a company does as good a job as this one they deserve a good report. I hired this company to move the contents of my motorcycle dealership. It took four tractor trailers in all. I'm not going to lie, I was reluctant in using a company like this but in the end, I couldn't have chosen a better company. They were very professional to deal with and their services were above par, I would say. Nothing in my transport was damaged. I definitely got my money's worth. I just completely recommend this company all the way around. They are a good quality outfit.
Response from Northern Moving Systems, Inc.
"Mitch, You are the man! We appreciate you so much for using our company services and for being kind enough to leave us a favorable review. Those motorcycles were so awesome, we had to get the job done as perfectly as possible! If you ever need our help again, we stand ready to provide you the same great level of service that we did the first time. We thank you for your business!"
