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.

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????

“Churn and Burn” They're shady at best. They will take your money and run. Luckily, I did not get scammed. I've read the trust pilot reviews after receiving a quote. They have a 'churn and burn' philosophy. Thank you past Trustpilot reviewers. You did a good service for honest people. IVL, I hope you get your act together. Otherwise, your business is the only one that will be Churning and Burning.

Lying Long Distance Mover IVL implied 7 day delivery of my household goods from pickup day of Jan 23, 2023, but it's going to be at least Feb 9th or 10th - nearly 3 weeks and no guarantees then. They're hiding behind the Federal rule that gives them 21 days (and I believe they are erroneously saying 21 business days instead of calendar days and doing some tricks for when they say the 21 days begins. No concern for hardship they are putting their clients to. I've moved across country 4 times and have NEVER incurred this kind of delay with other carriers! As far as I'm concerned they are as bad as a lot of other movers, and I would not recommend them at all.

Worst of the Worst Just another dishonest broker hiring the cheapest 3rd party movers. My estimate went from 10k to 16k based on their 3rd party mover wrapping and loading half my stuff, then telling me it would be 6k more. IVL was MIA when I tried to reach out and voice my displeasure. Their 3rd party mover also broke over a dozen items, most notably my $4500 reclining leather sofa, and $2500 platform bed. Once they get their cut they are non-existent. Do not use this company.
