Trust me this company is terrible !!
We moved from Kansas to Illinois in July 2024 using International Van Lines. Our experience with them was a nightmare. The process of estimating costs seemed designed to seriously underestimate expenses. Judging from reviews underestimates of 25% are common with the company. The costs of the move would have been tolerable were there a modicum of services provided for them which was not the case. We spent the week before the move frantically trying to contact their customer service representative to clarify the time of the pickup and what we would need to do to be prepared for it. Calls continually went to voice mail and were never returned. The move itself was a disaster. IVL appeared to subcontracted with other movers or use questionable affiliates to have the work done. The first group showed up in a rental truck from Enterprise and took our furniture to a warehouse where others reloaded it. It was eventually delivered in a nondescript truck by movers whose English was limited. The system seemed designed to encourage bad service and a lack of accountability. The results were problems that went far beyond those ordinarily encountered in moves. They disassembled a dining room table, but lost the hardware so it could not be reassembled. They lost the legs to a modern desk that we needed to have a repairman remake. They managed to break a marble table top that we thought was indestructible. They snapped coffee table in half. The lost three large boxes that were only delivered three months later and a filing cabinet that is still floating around their warehouses somewhere. Claims for damages are handled by an organization called Movingclaims.net. Before dealing with IVL you would be well advised to look up reviews of the organization at the Better Business Bureau or Reddit that will give you a good idea of the nature of the organizations you will be dealing with. It took three months from the time our meager claim was settled to get a check.
