IVL: Loss, Damage and Theft I contracted with International Van Lines based on positive online reviews. I moved from PA to CA in March 2019. Their staff did over $2,000 worth of damage to my antique wood furniture, lost boxes of china, crystal, family heirlooms, and some old jewelry and silver went missing (even though the cases and stands these items were in arrived). After paying $15,000 for the move (much demanded in cash), my loss is estimated at $25,000. I was offered $500 if I signed their release form (which I refused to do), and am now said to be due around $100. The communication was terrible once I signed and sent the deposit, as was almost everything else. DO NOT USE INTERNATIONAL VAN LINES.

I hired international van lines for a… I hired international van lines for a move from Wisconsin to Missouri. I was assured during the deposit process my move wouldn’t take longer than 7 days despite the contract mandating 21 days (seems like that was just a formality). We only saved 1,000 from hiring a local company. That 1,000 was not worth it. It has been so stressful, they seem understaffed, etc. just go local- when it is such a stressful time in your life, it isn’t worth going with this company.

Horrible customer service! Horrible customer service!! they lost out on $35,000 and I got my deposit back for failure to take care of the customer as stipulated in the contract. So USE It to your advantage if needed! Moving from Asia, the Philippine customs demanded a notarized letter from me before they would allow me to ship my PERSONAL HOUSEHOLD GOODs. Pure ignorance but I told IVL to type up a PROFESSIONAL letter for them and I would take it and have it notarized and signed. Easy yes?? LOL not for these monkeys. 1 st Nico refused, so I asked for his boss, he lied and said he doesn't have 1. Then Jason jumps in the conversation says its illegal for them to type a letter.. AGAIN another lie. Show me an owner, president or boss who types their own letters. It's the secretary or ??? . SO i demanded my deposit back and he refused so I said, u are in breach of contract my attorney will deal with u. 3 days later I got my FULL deposit. Suggestion, this is a company that obviously does not care that it loses money, so there4 obviously does not care about customer support. GOOD LUCK

Don't use this "moving company." Don't use this "moving company." Took nearly 14 months for a small shipment to arrive in Germany from US. Half of the shipment was lost, appeared months later in the UK, and took another two months to get to Germany. In US, packers showed up in an Enterprise Rent-a-Truck, all nice guys but only one had ever packed things before, and I had to show them how to do it. Once packed up, the company was quick to bill me for the entire shipment, but never, or only weeks or months after me repeatedly asking them, responded to my queries about the location of my effects and their likely shipment date. Including this company, which appears to be nothing more than a broker operation, I dealt with at least four other companies, all of which have their own rules, and didn't always deliver the service that I paid the "moving company" for. I've moved many times over the years and can tell the difference between a professional operation and fly-by-night jobs. Avoid this company.

Everything was going great, then silence… Everything was going great and according to plan until the person who is supposed to send updates on the arrival of my possessions in London went radio silent. It’s been four months since the movers picked up my stuff and I received one update about two months ago. Four emails requesting an update have gone unanswered. I understand that the war and covid are causing delays. But can’t they just write me????
