In their own words
Service was great and fast but extremely expensive compared to others. However, your items will be packed professionally and efficiently. Management was Very professional but the issue I had was the thieving employees. I literally turned my back for a second and went in my room to facilitate another mover. I realized that I had left my purse on the counter so i grabbed it. That quickly 1 of these employees went in my purse and stole $600. I had that money to pay for the movers and they stole it.
This client was never our customer. We take accusations very seriously and we apologize for we do not have any records of moving you.
A BETTER TRIPP MOVERS COST ME A FORTUNE IN DAMAGES We hired A Better Tripp several years ago and they lied and cheated us. We asked several times for extra insurance and they lied to us about the process. Secondarily, they promised to bring appropriate materials to pack our fragile and valuable items. They did not and one of the movers brought his out-of-shape wife to pack me up as part of the team. They caused over $30k worth of damage and promised to make good on reimbursing me.
We are sorry you are dissatisfied with your move. Insurance coverage was thoroughly explained prior to the move, and your husband declined the option for … More
Horrible experience….second time using them but never again. Unprofessional and the movers didn’t secure the moving truck and pulled off with the door open and my belongings fell out the back of the truck. The driver lied and said nothing fell but he didn’t realize myself and my daughter were running behind the truck trying to get his attention and we saw my stuff fall out the truck. On top of that, two of the movers were lazy and didn’t place my items in the designated areas.
Thank you for your feedback. We take all customer concerns seriously and believe it is important to clarify the facts. While it is true that one box fell from the truck, our understanding is that the box was empty and no damage to your belongings was reported.
I wanted to give A Better Tripp Moving and Storage a good rating initially. They were quick to respond to my initial inquiries and packed and delivered my belongings after my mother’s death quickly. However, once my belongings arrived, I realized that a large, heavy, tile wall hanging was missing. This was a piece that the head packer took an interest in when he came to pack up my Mom’s apartment.
I respond to all clients reviews and appreciate all comments. I understand my husband David Tripp has already talked to you and is personally helping you with this matter. Our guys have been around with us for a long time and we do not … More
We couldn’t have been happier with our in-home estimate and with the great communication from our estimator throughout the process, but, unfortunately for us, A Better Tripp really botched this move. Even with the moving team putting boxes clearly labeled as “Fragile” on the bottom of the load, boxes turned upside down, and crushed, nothing that my family and I packed was damaged. We wrapped everything ourselves and never overstuffed boxes (and I am talking about enough boxes to pack a 3,000 sq. Ft.
We are very sorry to hear about your recent moving experience. We take all customer feedback seriously and want to address your concerns. We have tried to call yet please call us when you are available. Again we deeply apologize for … More
The company came highly recommended as other reviews state. Not for us. The crew that delivered our belongings were very friendly and very professional. Not so much for the office staff. Our belongings were picked up in Arizona on 5/16/2022 and delivered to North Carolina on 6/13/2022! It is just over a 3 day trip but took almost a month to deliver! We were told the truck broke down. Then our load ended up In Houston.
We are sorry about your moving experience and our goal is to exceed our customers expectations and strive for excellence and professionalism. I realize we are in contact and we will resolve your claim properly. Thank you for your patience … More
This company isn't worth putting your belongings in their hands. They are liars & definitely don't conduct business the right way. I've been in the business over 20 years & recently had the disappointment of working & dealing with this low tier of a company. At least be accountable & make situations right when your wrong. Something they will never do. It's why I will never help them again, I will also let everyone know how much they don't care about customers, employees or their goods.
After a thorough review of our records, we could not locate any service history or transaction under your name. It appears you were not a client of our company. We take all claims seriously and are committed to providing excellent service … More
My move was handled by a subcontractor named Daryl. The experience was frustrating, the move was dragged out deliberately to stretch time and charge more, which was a tactic to increase the final cost. Mrs. Tripp was made aware of my concerns and showed no interest in resolving the issue. It is also worth noting that for every bad review, a few suspiciously glowing ones follow. Be mindful. I stand by what I have said and am taking this to court.
We have thoroughly reviewed our records and have no record of this individual ever being a client of A Better Tripp Moving & Storage. This is the second time this person has attempted to leave a misleading and false review. We take all … More

In their own words
I contacted A Better Tripp having very little time to pull together a cross-country move. They were outstanding in all facets, from meeting with me promptly to provide a cost proposal, packing up our entire house in one day, making a local stop to deliver a few pieces of furniture to our daughter, then driving from Houston to LA and unloading the van and putting everything in storage lockers (our place wasn’t ready yet). Prompt, polite, efficient, careful, professional in every respect. No extra or hidden charges.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your move went smoothly and that our team was able to provide the prompt, efficient, and professional service you needed on a tight schedule. It’s our goal to make the … More
These guys were great, I was in regular communication with the mover as he was driving to New Orleans to drop off furniture for my daughter's 3rd floor apartment. Everything was moved in professionally, on time, and ahead of schedule and for a great rate. Totally happy with their service!
Thank you Katherine for taking your time to fill out our review. We appreciate you trusting us with your move. Our crew strives for professionalism and efficiency in our moves. We look forward to working with you again and wish you much … More
We had a wonderful experience with A Better TRIPP movers. I had heard nightmares about cross country moving, so I did a lot of research regarding brokers and carriers. I found A Better Tripp on my Nextdoor app with high reviews. Internet searches confirmed what I needed to know. Mike Livesay was my first contact and continued with me for the entire move. He was knowledgeable, responded quickly, straight forward, trustworthy, kind, personable, and very patient.
This warms my heart that you felt your move was handled with honesty and competence. This is exactly what we want to accomplish for every move. We understand the stress and vulnerability during a move and we try to minimize these issues. … More
We absolutely loved working with A Better Tripp! We have selected A Better Tripp 5 times since 2008. We have always been impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail. These guys are the real deal. They moved my family recently and they did a great job. They moved every item with great care. Everything was moved within the given time and there were no damages or any extra fees in the end.
Thank you very much for such a nice review! We appreciate your business! We strive for professionalism and efficiency in our moves. Repeated business and referrals are the best compliment we can receive! … More
