Austin Long Distance Moving and Auto Transport
★★★★★

When I decided to move from Austin to Boston, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Having just graduated from University of Texas, I was convinced I could do anything, and that moving was the easiest thing... read more in the world.

My parents told me right away that I should probably look into moving companies and consider hiring some help, but I laughed it off. So I enthusiastically started packing. I had done some research online, so I took care to mark the moving boxes, write down everything that was in them, and I had a feeling everything was going great. Fast forward a couple of days, and I still hadn't packed one room (out of four) and I was becoming disillusioned. I also realized that the truck I had borrowed from a friend was not going to be enough for all my boxes. Eventually I gave in and decided to find a moving company to help me. However, the internet is flooded with moving companies' websites, and they all claim to offer the best services. So I had no idea which company to pick. I asked a couple of friends who I knew had moved home before, and they pointed out Trico Long Distance Movers based out of Austin.

I contacted them and told them what my situation was. They understood how lost I was and what's more, they understood that I was a recent graduate and wasn't exactly swimming in money. They offered me various services and pointed out those which were more affordable. By the end of the conversation, I managed to hire both packing and moving help for a price I could easily pay. They also provided me with some tips as to how to be more economical when moving.

Although I hate to admit it, I couldn't have done it without these guys. If I ever decide to move out of Boston, I will most definitely hire the guys at Trico to help out again. read less

I had to move some belongings from San Marcos and found a discount for Trico Long Distance. They quoted me a great price and came ready to work!

So. Moving across the country can be stress inducing, so say the least. And you'll see from my previous review that this particular move was not going as planned.

I'm not sure who contacted who, but the day after Trico... read more was supposed to show up and rescheduled (the day after my first review), Johnny a general manager reached out to me and literally saved the day. As I mentioned, the biggest concern that led to my review was two pronged: (1) lack of communication, follow though, and an unapologetic approach and, (2) leaving me stranded to hire alternate movers in a pinch and cancel a business trip. Johnny fixed it all. He was sincere and honest in his apology to me, worked diligently to fix the errors on Trico's end, rescheduled my move for the following day, communicated every step of the way, and made sure we reached an agreement that seemed fair for both parties in light of what occurred. Our belongings even arrived safely in Seattle a couple days early!

I had planned to wait until the move was complete to update this review, and now that it is I can confidently say these guys are all they're cracked up to be. Our possessions were wrapped carefully, marked, labeled, and organized on both the front and back end. Johnny stayed in contact with me, constantly checking in. And their prices are beyond competitive. I can't recommend them enough. I just wish I knew Johnny personally so I could give him a hug. I hope someone from Trico sees this and gives him a raise. read less

Searched everywhere for an affordable place to help me move some belongings back to school. At first everything I came across was too expensive, considering that I'm a college student and have a budget. Until I ran into Trico. These... read more guys gave me a great price for some furniture, a bed, and a closet. They arrived on time and asked if I had any special request for my stuff. All I said was handle it with care and to my surprise nothing arrived damage. They were quick and efficient. I had no worries the entire move back to school. I recommend them if you need help moving, but you're trying to stay within a budget. They won't disappoint. read less

I was born and grew up in LA. I went to school there, and I attended college there. I got my first job in the city. However, having recently graduated, I realized I really needed a change of scenery. That... read more is why I decided to leave the only city I ever called home and move to Boston. Not once did I think that I would be able to move to another state all by myself. Most of my friends are women, so I knew I would have to look for help elsewhere. In addition to this, being a first-time home mover, I had no idea how to do it. That is why I decided to

look for a professional moving company.

    One night I sat down and started browsing the internet, thinking that I would find the best company right away. How naïve! I ended up having to ask dozens of people for recommendations, from friends and family to mere acquaintances. I felt so desperate that I even considered asking my ex for help! Ugh. In the end, I realized that one company popped up more often than the others. So I decided to contact Trico Long Distance Movers.

    Trico Movers helped me relocate without a hitch. They did pretty much everything - from packing my things in Austin to unpacking them in Boston. Not only that, but they were very patient with me. They understood that I was leaving a whole new life behind me, and knew just the right words to comfort me. They made sure that everything that was valuable to me , including pictures and fragile vases, was carefully and securely boxed.  It is safe to say that I not only found the perfect moving company, but made some new friends as well.

    I am beyond satisfied with the services provided by these people. I will most definitely recommend them to everyone who asks. And if I ever decide to add another city to my list of addresses, Trico Long Distance Movers will be my company of choice. read less

The last time my dad was happy with service he received from the moving company was many years ago. However soon as he called these guys and received an estimation from them he knew right away they were the real... read more deal.

Where do I begin?

I guess I should first make clear that I am absolutely satisfied with the service provided by Trico Long Distance Movers. The whole thing couldn't have gone any better. These people are absolute professionals and I... read more think it is safe to say they are the best at what they do (not that I have worked with many moving companies before, but still). Anyway, I didn't exactly use a moving company to move per se, just to get my things from one place to another, if that makes any sense. I actually recently sold two properties, and since the buyers wanted them unfurnished, I needed to get all my things out of there, and into the home where I live. Well the thing is, those houses are located in two different states, and I live in a third one, so I knew right away this wasn't going to be an easy task. So I asked around a bit, and most of my friends told me that I should hire a moving company, more specifically, Trico. Now, I had never heard of Trico before, or of any moving company, to be fair, but I was at the end of my options already with all the sales and other responsibilities, and I just decided to follow my friends' advice and hire them. I called them and explained the whole situation. They told me to sell the things that I didn't really care for, or donate them, as moving long distance it would all add up cost-wise.

I was expecting that they would charge me as they would two clients, as these were technically two moving processes, but they really made an effort to provide me with all the discounts possible. They also understood that I couldn't possibly be in two different places at the same time, and agreed to let me have a representative (my sister in law, that is) in one of the houses. I also decided to let them pack everything, not so much because I was worried about the wellbeing of things (it's just a bunch of old furniture anyway), but because I didn't want to make my sister in law do so much hard work. I told them that it wouldn't be necessary to protect everything, that they could just toss stuff onto the truck. I really just wanted to get it over with. But they insisted that they do everything properly. Since they were working pretty quickly and I could see that the whole thing wouldn't take too much time, I agreed after all. And I have to say that I am glad I did, because, even though I don't really need all that furniture, I now get to sell pretty much everything of a good value, since some items are rare, and actually make additional money, aside from what I got for the houses. Pretty neat, really.

Anyway, I'm satisfied with Trico. They were quick, efficient,

professional, well-organized... Pretty much everything a customer can ask for.

I'd definitely recommend them to anyone who needs professional movers, and I

absolutely understand why my friends advised me to hire them.

Sorry if I left something out, I'm in the middle of organizing a garage sale, so I'm in a bit of a mess. read less

Great moving company! Worked with a guy all the way up to delivery day. He arranged my quote, even with me changing things up several times. He was patient and understanding of our situation every time I called. They had... read more the guys out to pack up our stuff just as scheduled on the right day and time. They labeled everything with bar codes and those all matched a master inventory list. The guys took ample time to blanket wrap and plastic wrap every.single. thing. And loaded it carefully. The boss came out the day before just to look at things we had changed up! Remarkable. We had our stuff delivered to our new place in a very acceptable time frame considering the weather and logistics! Super. We made a good choice. I did spend countless hours before I picked them with other companies getting quotes. Not. Fun.  But boy did Mathew from Trico make this an exceptional experience from start to finish. Our things also arrived in super shape, expediant, and unloaded and reassembled with utmost attention to detail!!!:)) read less
