Terrific moving experience:
Orginally looked up other moving companies but the Starcity friendly attitude over the phone and stellar references sold me. The office lady was very informative over the phone. I received a courtesy call the night before the big move. I got another call 15 minutes before the guys came to the house (They said they were washing the truck which was impressive). All of the furniture items were properly padded and arrived intact.
The price was very reasonable. The guys were nice; very professional. The movers were employees and not contracted out like other moving companies.
If I had to do a big move again, I would use Starcity without any hesitation.

Is Moving a Hassle? Not with these guys...:
Moving can be such a hassle, but honestly, Starcity made my move much less stressful than anticipated.
I packed up my tiny apartment for two weeks (I have a lot of stuff), called about eight NJ movers for quotes, spent hours of my life on the phone detailing every piece of furniture I owned, and got a wide range of prices and fees and availability.
Starcity fell on the high end of the quote spectrum, but they were so easy to talk to on the phone. And they emphasized the fact that there are no hidden fees- their flat rate would cover everything. You won't be charged if the movers get a ticket the day of moving. They will loan you wardrobe boxes the day of your move. They have insurance, if that is something your building requires (as mine did).
I received a copy of the quote by e-mail, so I could double-check it, which I appreciated. And I was able to electronically sign it to set-up the move.
I received two confirmation calls about my move. The day of the move, my movers were not just on time...they were early. And because I was such a great packer, I was fully ready for them. StarCity was efficient, fast, and very professional. I was so nervous that something would go wrong, that the movers wouldn't show up, or they'd be late, or they'd break something, or any number of other things that could go wrong...and the move was just so easy. They were in and out in 5 hours (I moved from Jersey City to West Orange), and nothing was broken! I was thrilled with the move...unpacking is another story.
If you want to not worry about any aspect of your move hire StarCity to get it done!
