Complete waste of time and unprofessional. We are in a time crunch to get packed and moved. I reached out to A Better Tripp for a quote on packing and moving and a sales rep named Michael came to my home, walked it with me, and gave me a quote in person. He broke the quote out in labor and then materials totaling $1,400 and said nothing about hours. Being that he was in person and saw everything first hand that would need to be done, I didn’t ask about hours as he seemed to have calculated it in his head. The crew showed up this morning and had a form for me to sign with $2,800 written on it for the packing. Sadly, I didn’t read the paperwork he shot over for me to print and sign because Mike specifically said it would be $1,400 max for the job to be completed so I simply responded “approved” to the email assuming it had listed on the paperwork what he quoted me in person. Thankfully, I didn’t print and sign, but instead had them bring it over day of which is when I noticed the joke of a “to not exceed” price tag of $2,800. Michael called to tell me that the materials were not included in that $1,400 quote and to complete the job would be more and then proceeded to call me a liar and stated “he didn’t know where I came up with that number.” I obviously filled them in that they were out of their minds and could get out of my house. Never. Again. Michael was so rude and a typical crook sales person. I had the house packed for $700 by Power Movers the very next day. They were awesome.

We try to please all our clients with professionalism and fairness. I realize your time is valuable especially during a move. I am sorry to hear that you believed we did not inform you on the amount. I understand your concerns about our pricing and wanted to take this opportunity to explain. When Mike did your survey he his quote was $2800 or not to exceed $2800 for packing and you responded with an email that you approved the amount. The order was not to exceed $2800; if the amount was lower you pay the lower price. You may not have seen all the information and I am sorry for that. The estimate should clearly be in writing with all charges for the services the mover will perform. The Bill of lading is a contract between you and your mover and receipt of your belongings. The Bill of lading must be signed and dated by you and your mover at origin and destination. I hope this clears up for we want to give you accurate pricing for your move.

I see that Terry Tripp erased my previous review that I wrote last June 22. They have totally dropped the ball and take a no responsibility for the $6000 worth of losses and damages that I incurred after doing business with them. I was told by my salesman ( Mike Livensay) that the owners, the Trips are abusive and bullies to both their clients and their employees. I can speak for myself that was true for me. Their rude driver cussed me and my husband out at two different times ( i have a video of him ( Tracy) and walked off the job early because he couldn’t figure out how to get an armoire in the bedroom.“I had to get two other people to move the armoire into the bedroom after they left“. On the second move To Colorado, they arrived with ONE man , AND I had to hire somebody to help him do my move. Then at 3 o’clock mountain time the ONE man decided he was going to leave because he couldn’t figure out how to get my sofa into my condo. So he again walked off the job as they do. I had to hire (at 4 o’clock on Friday afternoon ) a company to come from 60 miles away with a crane so they could lift the sofa up and put it through the patio door to get it into the condo. They could’ve done it and they should’ve done it but they were irresponsible. Let’s see if Terry trip takes this review off. I have contacted the media in Houston and we’re going to do a big story on their company.
Great customer Service. Friendly, responsible, on time. Great Experience overall! Love working with Mike and his team!

Houston-friendly, professional, cost-effective: I'd do it again
I'm so happy I hired A Better Tripp for my recent move. They took the sting out of a move that had promised to be super challenging for me. A Better Tripp made the experience smooth and easy from start to finish, and they did it for a fraction of the amount the big corporate movers had bid.
How do they do it? I feel it's the amazing crew of professionals they have put together for moves. Melvin helped me get started and William worked out logistics. Both answered all of my questions completely, any time I called. I still feel special appreciation for Peanut, who managed the hands-on move in an efficient and calming way. His professionalism and friendliness kept my spirits up during a super stressful week of moving family pieces cross-country. The folks at the office followed up a week after the move to make sure everything was fine. Felt like family.
If you're planning a move near or far, definitely give A Better Tripp a call and see how they can help out. I heard about them from a family member who had used them years ago and recommended them enthusiastically. Now I can share my great experience with you. A Better Tripp took good care with my things (no scratches, damage, or dings), got them to the destination on time, and did this all in a Houston-friendly way that puts your mind at ease. Priceless!

I have moved interstate with ABT multiple times and the reason I keep going back is them is TRUST. Their pricing is competitive, their binding estimate is binding, they pick up when they say they will but, you have to work with them on the delivery end. Jose is the best ever and has been the driver on all my trips. He is very careful with the load, sincere and pleasant above all. Also a shout out to Jose, Melvin, Mike and William on my recent move to Orlando!

A Better Tripp came highly recommended to me by my aunt, so I felt confident that they would be excellent and reliable. I did not have a good experience at all, though. The salesman I was paired with hardly ever returned my emails or calls (so I had to basically hound him to get anywhere), the website has a coupon page with no actual coupon(s) anywhere on it (and the salesman would not look into that for me), the movers scraped paint off and dented my walls, and they repeatedly asked me which rooms the boxes went in. ALL of my boxes were neatly and clearly labeled, so all they had to do was read them. I even labeled each room with a sticky note so they would know what each room was called in order to match the boxes. So they made the unloading process take longer than it should have, costing me more money. I'm not happy at all, and now I'm being pestered to write reviews, so here you go.

We hired TRIPP Movers for a local service to move furniture from one family home to another family home. The entire process was painless and they were all courteous and professional with everything from wrapping and preparing to include transportation, delivery, unloading and unwrapping and placing of the furniture. A job well done! I highly recommend them and will use them again in the future.

This company was excellent. Andre, the truck driver from SC to TX, was polite, communicated frequently and arrived early. He was very good in helping my 94 year old mother set up and place her furniture. Everything arrived in good condition and nothing was missing. I highly recommend this company and would certainly hire them again for future moves!
