During my move from CA to VA, I went thru a hell with some moving companies and Inter Van Lines saved me at the end of it!! For my job opportunity, I moved out of my place in Carlsbad, CA, stored all my stuff in a storage in San Diego prior to move to Virginia for about 3 weeks. (The moving company that had moved my stuff to the storage not only damaged my furniture but also packed all my belongings very poorly.) When I needed my stuff moved to VA, I contacted a moving company, GPS, and provided all I had for estimate per their request. When the movers showed up at the storage for pickup on Sunday, they showed up 2 hours later than scheduled time and I only had 1 hour left till the storage closed! They pulled everything out of the storage and then the driver increased the rate far more than double although there was not much difference in volume compared to what I had provided over the phone for estimate. I cancelled the contract at the spot. Then the GPS movers left all my belongings in hallway and in the elevator saying they would not get paid as I voided the contract and they left! Some lady in the storage was in shocked, speechless and started helping me with putting everything back into the storage and after I came back home, I googled and contacted Inter Van Lines. Despite it was Sunday, they not only answered the phone but also sent someone to my storage for accurate estimate! Joe checked my belongings very thouroughly and beat the rate by thousands of dollars! Also, he scheduled for pick up right next day! The movers showed up on time, and they pointed out to Joe how poorly my furnitures were packed and started packing them all over again! They also showed me how the other movers messed up with my computer monitor, the way they stored could have damaged the screen amd explained how they deal with monitors and computers etc when it comes to storage and also packing. After they were done at the storage, Joe and the movers came to my friend's house. I had two queen matresses and a dresser that were exchanged by furniture store and due to this exchange prior to my move to VA, I could not keep them in a storage but separated in my temporary place. Joe and the movers were great again. Even though my mattresses were brand new in plastic bags, they packed them all over again! They also packed the my dresser and loaded them up. How professional! Joe stayed in touch with me and sent my stuff on my requested date. The movers brought my stuff in perfect condition and stored them to a storage as I was in the middle of buying a home here. They worked very deligently and quickly. After I got my place, I hired movers and they were very impressed how excellently my furnitures were packed. They all repeated 'excellent packing' the whole time they were loading amd unloading. From my experience with 4 moving companies in 2 months, Inter Van Line was far best, they were directly moving company, I did checked the 18 wheel truck they brought to my storage to see if they were also moving some other stuff such as fruits, vegies, or even worse, chickens etc like some non direct moving companies do. I know it sounds funny but make sure to check reviews and you will be surprised to find out about it like I was. After I was done with my move, I talked with Joe that I would save his phone number and ensure to contact him when I move back to CA from here! I was truly lucky to have found one good moving company that I can rely on wherever I move to! Thank you so much, Inter Van Lines! You guys were very professional and great all the way from CA to VA! Thank you!! read more
