In addition, I had always been attracted to the leisurely lifestyle of the west coast. So about two years ago I decided to quit my job as sales manager and pursue my passion. I worked odd jobs for a little over a year in order to save up for my relocation and surfing classes. When I finally felt like I was ready to take the step, I started looking for a moving company that was good, but affordable.
I knew better than to fall for ridiculously cheap movers, since some of my friends have had bad experiences with such companies before. Among all the companies I took into consideration, Trico Long Distance Movers stood out the most. When I called them, they explained everything in the simplest possible terms, making it easy to understand for a layman like myself.
The guys from the company were pretty laid back, and one of them even shared my passion for surfing. I almost felt like I had a bunch of friend over for a party. Anyway, since I couldn't really afford full moving services, I had to pack my things myself, but they offered me a bunch of moving tips, which helped a lot. Make sure to check their website for some good suggestions!
After more than thirty years of life in Dallas, I finally got to enjoy the waves on the west coast, and it's all thanks to these guys. Once I master surfing, I am planning on moving on to mountain climbing, and I'm counting on Trico Long Distance Movers to help me move to a more rocky area of the country. read less

The reason i'm giving them a 5 star rating is due to the guaranteed price being honored. I initially thought it was too good to be true, A guaranteed moving price? I've never paid what I was quoted for a move before now, these guys really know their stuff!

If you've had a not so pleasant moving experience in the past you should check Trico out! You wont be disappointed! I worked with Jake who was extremely helpful! read less

I had actually already made a reservation with another moving company based on a personal referral without doing enough research, and then noticed endless horror stories on their Yelp page. I ended up canceling with them, and then found Trico. I was slightly hesitant because all of the 5 stars seemed a little too good to be true, but they definitely delivered. They were professional and very diligent. I received all of my items on time and in perfect condition, and they followed up every step of the way and made sure I felt comfortable with the entire process. They are a little pricier than other companies, but I feel it was well worth it. read less

We searched and found one company that was cheaper, but had poor reviews. We decided to play it safe and go with Trico and were really glad we did. They were able to give us a quote over the phone, did everything on time, and packed all of our furniture very well with cardboard and blankets. They even packed our 60 inch TV in an insulated box and it arrived in the same condition in which they picked it up. They followed up with us after the move to make sure we were happy with the service, which showed that they really care about making sure their customers are satisfied. I recommend them to anyone who needs to do a long-distance move! read less

The movers were polite and efficient, and worked quickly to pack everything and get it loaded safely into the truck. The office staff were also polite and reassuring that they would handle everything that needed to be done, which calmed me in an indescribable way - I appreciate they empathized with me. They even safely stored all my stuff for a few weeks while my new house was being readied for me to move into it. Then all my things arrived at the new house when promised! It was truly a pleasure working with Trico to get an overwhelming task done with minimum stress. I know who to call if I ever need to face such a big event again. read less

Plus, my stuff arrived mostly unscathed so I think, in the end, that's really what matters. I would use them again and will definitely recommend them for anyone with a distance move in their future. read less

I was shopping around looking for auto movers from LA to Houston. Got the run around from few companies who couldn't accommodate me and making the process difficult. I called Trico and needed someone immediately, told them my time frame, they worked with me to get my car to Houston in days. I loved the fact that they kept me in the loop to let me know when my car would arrive via text and the driver was great as well. I was very happy with their service. read less

They communicated well, they treated my belongings like their own, the process they have in place was top notch. I was comfortable enough with this company that I even left at one point during the packing session and couldn't be there on the receiving end, so I had a friend let them in to deliver. There was NO doubt in my mind that everything would be there, in great shape and accounted for.

I hope I never have to do a long distance move ever again due to the other stresses that go with a move- but if I do find myself in that situation, I will 100% use this company again as that will be one less thing to worry about.

Highly, highly recommend!!! read less

I was moving long distance from LA to the DC area in March. After reading some horrifying reviews of other companies that stole your stuff, lost your stuff, arrived late or were rude, Trico had the best reviews here and on other websites listing good long distance movers in LA. I'm so glad I listened to reviews.

Price: They were fairly priced (about $4.5k to move across the country, pack myself, no car).

Quotes: From the beginning, they were really polite and helpful. I reached out for a quote, and they asked me to list all my items. I asked them to appraise my things in my home, which they scheduled for just a few days later. That guaranteed the price so they couldn't change it. They honored my price, even though I had a few more boxes than expected (because I ended up not taking a large, heavy item).

Pickup: The pickup was great! Four men called me an hour before coming and showed up on time. It rarely rains in LA, but these movers were prepared for my move on a rainy day. They laid out blue carpets to avoid tracking mud into my house. They pointed out every item that was broken (before they got there) and photographed them so there wouldn't be confusion on the back end. Everything was labeled and cataloged. I knew exactly how many items they took.

Scheduling the pickup: I requested a Wednesday morning, and they said they'd try, but that they'd call me the day before with a time window. Sadly, their availability was now Wednesday afternoon, so I had to reschedule some things at work, since they require that someone be on site for the whole pickup (which makes sense from a liability standpoint). It wasn't the end of the world, but I wish that they'd just said that it would be Wednesday (and that I'd find out a time window the day before, not that they'd try to get me a morning).

Followup Call: They called me to see how service was and were really nice to find out about all the details of the move. This made me feel like they actually care about what customers think (and improving the experience). Five stars just for this part!

Storage Fee: Storage is free at the pickup site. When I asked them if they could move my things across the country before I had an exact address and store there, they made the exception to do that at no extra charge since there was extra space in another shipment going to DC. They normally charge $600 to move to the new destination and then store there. That was so nice of them!

Review to be continued when I get my stuff! read less

Cons:Hard to estimate boxes number and they need to do full packing service for full insurance values. My only issue is on the day of move the updated order was not sent and the movers did not come prepared for full pack. They did a good job however after they got the updated information but this delayed things about an hour. read less

Matthew specifically was great, as he helped us with everything, even until we completed out un-packing. There were a few minor scratches here and there but that goes with moving anything. Glad to report that there were no major damages considering our 2000 mile journey moving to the west coast. The movers themselves were great as they did all the work for us. The boxes they use are very durable as they don't fall apart during the move. read less

This was my 2nd long distance move (LA to Chi) and Trico has set the bar at a whole new level. From the responsive customer service to the efficiency of the movers and the thoroughness wrapping my furniture I can't thank Trico enough for making the move itself a non event. Shout out to Grace for her reassurance throughout the entire process. Appreciate the customer service follow up after the move...these guys truly care about customer satisfaction! read less
