This is to express my appreciation to you and to commend your employees Manual Rubio and Jose Rodriguez for the excellent service provided by them as they prepared my Etagere and Secretary for shipment to California.

Manual and Jose are outstanding representatives of your company as well as being very good at their job. They were careful and cautious as they prepared the furniture for shipment and them moved the pieces to their vehicle. In all of my experience of moving from station to station during my military service I have never observed a crew as competent as Manual and Jose. I was impressed.

As crew leader Manual kept me informed at every step in the process as he worked through the wrapping of the items and then explaining the paperwork he had prepared for the shipment. I had no questions at the end of his explanation.

Because of this excellent service provided by your company I would have no reluctance to provide a favorable recommendation to anyone you might ask to contact me as a very satisfied customer.

Sincerely your's
LT./Col. Daniel G. Illerich, USAF (Ret.)

"Excellent experience. Mike & Raymond (and the other packers in Houston) were outstanding. Mike & Raymond did an amazing job of getting us into our new house in Ohio."

Dear David:

It’s been rather hectic around here since I moved to Country Place in Pearland, but I’m finally beginning to see a light at the end of the tunnel. It has delayed my writing to you to give you a report on the two moves required to move all my accumulated furnishings. It occurred to me that you might like to have a brief review of the work that was done.

Move #1, from Houston to Pearland, Saturday, April 1st, went without a hitch and the total move was accomplished within the estimated time. The crew went right to work and wasted no time either moving out or moving in at the new address.

Move #2 from CR495 near Centerville, TX to Pearland, Wednesday, April 5th, turned out to be a little more complicated for your crew, but they handled the situation well as I’m sure you’ve heard. They were co-operative and uncomplaining at all times. I congratulate you on the ingenuity and loyalty of the crew.

Thank you again for your cooperation in making these moves possible. I will gladly recommend your company to my friends and acquaintances. Well done!

Kindest personal regards,
D.E. Newton, Jr.

Colleen,

I wanted to take a moment to thank you and A Better Tripp Moving & Storage Co for the move that you did for us on December 23, 2004. Dr. Craig Armstrong (our dentist) referred us to your company. I don't know if you remember my telling you that we were trying to make the move while my partner was in the hospital taking chemotherapy. I wanted to make her Christmas Eve homecoming as easy as possible. I wanted everything in its place so that when she returned she would feel as if it were home for her already. Your crew and company made her homecoming far exceed what either of us had expected.

On the morning of our move your moving crew arrived as scheduled. We were on a tight budget so my sister and I tried to assist the crew as much as possible. We had everything ready to go when the crew arrived. I felt as if we all worked well together. The crew you sent over (Jose Cruz, Carlos and Lupe) felt as if we were making the move with our own brothers. The move went very smoothly and was completed in record time. I think the movers wanted to finish the move just as quickly as we did. We had a great time working together and had many laughs. I commend you for hiring such pleasant employees. We had fun together but throughout it all the crew did their jobs efficiently and timely. Nothing was damaged during the move. How many of your customers can honestly say that they received a hug after the move was completed?

We have hired 2 moving companies in the past and neither of them would I consider referring to friends. You can rest assured that we will refer your company to anyone that is considering hiring professional movers. We are not only grateful to you and your company but also to Dr. Armstrong for referring us.

Colleen I know we spoke as we were scheduling our move and I told you about Fran and her cancer. I just wanted to let you know that we found out just 6 days ago that she is completely free of the cancer in her brain. We still have a very long road ahead of us and she will never be completely free from this so the prayers are still greatly needed.

Thank you and your company for the kindness that you extended to us during our move. You and the elves you sent over to help us will not be forgotten.

Have a great new year in 2004
God Bless

Colleen, my wife and I were so impressed with the crew (Manuel and Alex) that picked up our goods today that I had to call you and then write you this e-mail to express our appreciation. They were a quality pair. They were prompt, very courteous, helpful and certainly hard-working. They handled our goods with "kid gloves" and were very careful in carrying the items to the truck. We have had over a dozen moves nationwide and internationally over the years, but we have never been as pleased with any personnel in the past as we were with your crew today. They are certainly valuable employees of your company and we ask that your convey our appreciation to them for their outstanding assistance today. Many thanks, Bob & MaryAnn Wright

Dear Sir/Madam,

Yesterday we moved with A Better Tripp. I can honestly say it sure was "A Better Trip." I have had many "move experiences" and have never had one go as smoothly as this one. Your crew, supervised by Daniel, was VERY professional, courteous & helpful. They worked quickly and efficiently and NOTHING was damaged or even scuffed or dented etc. We greatly appreciated this Excellent Service and would absolutely hire you again to move us. Thank you very much for making a VERY stressful situation go as smoothly as possible.

Just a note to thank you for the great service you provided a couple of weeks ago.

Like most large undertakings (moving after 20 years at the same place), there were several unexpected issues to deal with. The guys that you sent were more than helpful, and were able to work around these and get the job done in an incredibly short time.

I appreciate the care they took with our stuff, and will recommend you to anyone I come across that is looking to move.

Just a note to tell you how pleased we where with the job done by David and his crew on August 21, 2004. As you know, we moved from a one story home to a three-story patio home. David and his crew where very careful in both moves and were very attentive to details, especially the ones we were concerned about - going up the 90 degree turns in the patio home. The entire crew was polite, prompt and considerate. To the extent that any move is a pleasure they made our move a pleasure and we would highly recommend them for those contemplating a move.

Colleen, I wanted to thank you for the good service on the recent move of my mom's dining room set & some boxes that we sent along.

Everything was received in excellent shape.

I was pleased to find your company (referred from Gail Rittichier in Sylvania, Ohio) as they had used A Better Tripp earlier to move a piano from the Toledo area to New York for her brother.

If you would like to use our name for any referrals, please feel free to do so. Likewise, we may well have a future need or friends to refer your company to.

Bill,

I am writing to commend Jose and Rad who moved my things for me from Houston to NYC. They did an excellent job for me. At all times they were courteous and calm. The receivers at both the NC and the DC drops commented very favorably on both men. They both worked some hard and long hours to do this move for me. Please let them know how very much I appreciate all their efforts on my behalf.

Dear Mr. David Tripp:

This letter is to inform you that your member of staff such as Melvin Parker, Jack Summers and the delivery drivers that wrapped and stored, as well as unwrapped and delivered my items to my new resident has demonstrated excellent customer service and it was greatly appreciated. It was truly a blessing for me to be able to have received my items back in excellent condition because my items were stored in your storage from December 2002 thru March 2006. Your company provides an excellent service as well as definitely your employees having excellent people skills. I can’t begin to express to you how much your employees’ excellent customer service meant to me, so now this is where you step in, Mr. David Tripp. Will you please acknowledge your staff members named above how much their excellent people skills and service was appreciated by me being one of your previous customers? Also, to the honest, at first I felt that your company moving prices were rather high, but not the monthly storage fee and just the moving fee. First of all, your company was dealt with a rather cheap person so therefore prior to me attempting to get my items out of storage, I looked into purchasing a moving truck and experience unsuccessful twice in renting a good condition truck. So I called your company back and spoke to Mr. Jack Summers and I stated to him that I apologize that I am not able to get my items out of storage on that particular day. So I told Mr. Jack Summers that I will just go ahead and use their service for your company to deliver my items. One of the statements that stood out in Mr. Jack Summers conversation with me is was him saying just take it easy and we will take care of it for you. Now on that particular day I had a lot to do and it would have made things much easier on me if I would of just took it easy and allow your service to finish what you all had successfully started. In other words, it appeared to me that your company could make a killing in with the type of service and people skills that you offer. Definitely, your company should advertise stating just take it easy and let us do the moving for you. To me that is a powerful statement and without a doubt a definite match for the service that you provide and demonstrate. Truly, I pray in the near future that your company expands. Once again, thank you Mr. David Tripp for having such a company in existence and to your member of staff for demonstrating excellent customer service. Take Care!

Sincerely,

Dear A Better Tripp Moving:

Let me say that I truly appreciated the efficiency and courtesy your staff showed when I moved in January. The gentlemen who deserve the credit are Miguel, Ruben, and Emerson. WOW!!! I have never seen a move take place with such speed yet carefulness. They moved my belongings as if they were their own. Melvin came out and took care of my estimate and was very thorough.

Overall, I was able to relax during what some would call a stressful experience. Once my belongings got to my new place, I could rest knowing that the move went smoother than I could have ever imagined. THANKS, fellas.

See you next move.

To Whom It May Concern,

I want to compliment Jason Alford and the others at A Better Tripp for the service they gave me on moving furniture and boxes to Virginia and to Oklahoma. They were courteous, organized, and careful with my property. They greatly helped to make a relocation move less stressful. They are good people and I would highly recommend them.

Thank you,
J. Koehler




I just wanted to take a minute and let you know how pleased I was with the service you and your movers provided during the my move on Saturday, July 15th. The 3 gentlemen that did my move were very professional and did an incredible job. I will be moving into my new home in October and will definitely use your services when that time comes.

Thank you!
Tammy Boone


Jason,

I would like you to know how pleasant Walter and his crew were during the move from Victoria to Houston. They were quite gentle with our furniture and took great care to wrap each piece carefully. They were courteous and polite offering their help with placement and movement. You are lucky to have reliable and conscientious employees and we would be happy to use your services in the future.

Sincerely,
Kelly Baker


Dear Sir:

This is an additional letter of commendation for your company personnel in general, and Jason and Jack specifically, for the efficient and exceptionally good care they provided for my shipment to California.

The two items shipped under GB 7671 arrived in a timely manner and was well coordinated on arrival in California. Our family is grateful for the service and care your company provided us in this transaction.

As a retired military member I went thru a number of moves from station to station during my career. None of these moving company's provided service that came close to matching the service provided by your company.

Please feel free to use my name as a reference for your company at any time in the future.

I work in the HR department at Anadarko Petroleum. My son recently moved his household goods from Raleigh, NC to The Woodlands. I just want to tell you how happy we were with the entire process. You were there to pick his things up from storage exactly on the day you said you would be there. Also, you delivered his items exactly at the time you told him you would be there. We were very impressed with the two men that climbed three flights of stairs to deliver his treasures!! I will happily recommend you to anyone that calls and needs a mover. We think the price was good also."

Thank You!!!

"I want to thank you for providing us with such a professional and conscientious team of movers for our December 23rd move.  Moving, in a word, is traumatic; however, moving during Christmas is insane!  Yet these gentlemen were the most understanding men that a family could have move them.  They carefully wrapped our furniture in as many cloth pads needed to protect it-they were especially careful with boxes marked fragile-they were patient and worked quickly (time was our money)-and all of this in miserable 40 degree drizzling rain!"

"This was the best moving team I have ever worked with.  The attention to customer service is excellent - Jose and his team are outstanding employees and merit your respect and appreciation for the job they are doing for you."  Harper
Houston, TX
 
"I used the company's services for two long distance moves from Houston to Washington, DC in 2000 and from Palm Beach, FL. to Houston in 2002, and a local Houston move in 2002.  The company met the estimated schedule; the employees are courteous, helpful, and reliable; and I would recommend these services to my friends, as well as use them again for any future moving needs that I have.

Colleen, my service rep for the complicated Palm Beach to Houston move this past October, was particularly wonderful.  She was just a cell phone call away and always addressed promptly whatever need I had.

Having experienced a disastrous Houston to Washington, DC in 1997 with another moving company, I was delighted to find A Better Tripp and would not consider giving my local or long distance moving business to anyone else."

I would just like to say that the staff you have that moved me recently from 12707 Boheme to 1205 Normans Woods did a great job! They took very good care of my property during the move and I really appreciate it.

Colleen has set up multiple moves for me and she does a great job too!

Thanks to your team!!
