Help Hurricane Dorian Survivors in the Bahamas by Making Donations

Hurricane Dorian devastated the northern Bahamas. The Catagory 5 hurricane stalled over the Abaco Islands and Grand Bahamas Island for two days. The winds were destructive, and they experienced relentless flooding, which has likely destroyed more than 10,000 homes. It has also wiped out much of the infrastructure, especially in the Abacos.

We were fortunate here in South Florida. We could have experienced much of the same devasting damage. The Bahamas generates much of its income from tourism, and Hurrican Dorian had a significant impact on their primary source. It’s time to step up and help in any way you can. Below you will find a list of items needed.

General Information about International Van Lines

Thank you for visiting International Van Lines moving review page. IVL was established in the year 2000, primarily as an international moving & logistics company. In 2004 IVL purchased its first truck to focus on local moving. After rapidly growing IVL tried its hand at long-distance moving, and today they’re one of the largest private companies in the moving industry. They maintain one of the best reputations in moving and are quickly becoming a household name. Below you will find more information about International Van Lines moving reviews.

Rating & Reviews/Complaints

It’s easy for anyone to claim that they’re one of the best, but here at IVL, we can prove it. We’ve been featured in the INC500 as one of the fastest growing companies in the nation. IVL has also been mentioned in the Sun-Sentinel, USA Today and has been ranked number one by moving.co, Consumer Advocate and Consumer Affairs. Their review is based on customer feedback, online surveys, years in business and fleet size.

Complaints:

International Van Lines moving reviews are excellent; however, we still get complaints from time to time. Our complaints are less than a fraction of one percent of the moves we transport. The main complaints we deal with are delays and damages which are realistic possibilities when moving. Although they’re not a common occurrence it can happen. IVL will do everything in its power to find a solution to any problem which is why International Van Lines moving reviews are stellar.

I would definitely recommend IVL to anyone moving in the country or out of the country because they are reliable, courteous and very professional!! They arrived at my home 20 mins. early and helped me get my belongings packed and ready to move. They also helped move my vehicles with no hesitation!! At first I was a little nervous being I had such a horrible experience with a different moving company!! IVL employees are amazing and I will definitely recommend them to any friends or family members who are relocating in the future!! THANKS GUYS FOR Everything!!

International Van Lines was very accommodating for my recent move. After googling Moving companies, International Van Lines came up in the search, and I thought I would give them a try.

I had a 3 bedroom home to move from Staten Island, New York to Marietta, Georgia, including Living Room set, Refrigerator and stove. The guys were very professional in their move of the 3 Bedroom, Living Room, and Kitchen sets! They had all of the moving equipment, Dollies, hand trucks, boxes, tape, etc.

My items arrived in Marietta, Georgia without any damage!

Thanks for the Very Successful Move International Van Lines! Five Stars! God Bless!

I used International Van Line to move from Brooklyn to Staten Island and had the best experience from start to finish. The day of the move the movers were efficient, kind and very responsible. I’m very happy with my move nothing got damaged. Thank you!

Rebecca Riederer – July 15, 2024

What a surprisingly great experience, I recently used International Van Lines for my move and I cant say enough about how happy we are with the whole thing.

Everyone, all the staff were incredibly courteous and kind. They gave some of the best customer service I have ever had, they went above and beyond.

Not only were they professional and friendly, but when the movers got to my place they worked tirelessly and maintained a positive attitude throughout the entire process.
It meant so much to me because just the process of Moving is always stressful and difficult, but they made everything so easy and hassle-free for us.

Such a pleasant surprise to find a moving company that genuinely cares about its customers.
They are the real deal.
They made us feel relaxed and reassured, letting us know that we were in great hands. I highly recommend International Van Lines for anyone looking for an stress-free move.
I for one will definitely be using them in the future, telling all my friends about them, and recommend you give them a try as well.
