GBStay away from this company I'd like to thank International Van Lines for absolutely the worst moving experience in my life. I moved from EU to California and from California to Texas before and I experienced some good relocation service. With International Van Lines I experienced delays, total lack of communication, incompetence, and absolutely not giving a **** about my stuff. It's been packed without any organization (like, garage stuff found in boxes marked as kitchen), no numbering, things like fragile pictures or my PC were just wrapped in a plastic wrap (!) and threw with the rest into the shipping container. Motorcycles, that were supposed to be strapped and secured, were lying down on the floor of the container. One motorcycle came with broken gear shifter. Many other things scratched, broken, or missing parts, we couldn't assemble our bed because frame was broken, the mattress torn and dirty and the screws all over the container. The local relocation company contractors that unloaded the container in Poland told me they have never seen such mess in 10 years of their careers.

FI“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.

DEDon'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.

GBI 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.

GBEverything 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????
