Man, I thought I had everything under control for my move abroad—until the moving company started pulling some real nonsense. First, they hit me with extra fees that were definitely not in the original estimate. Then, they ghosted me for days when I was trying to track my stuff. My furniture finally arrived weeks late, and guess what? My TV? Shattered. Now I’m out a few grand and dealing with insurance headaches. Has anyone had a smoother experience?
Oh yeah, I’ve been there. Moving internationally is already stressful, and sketchy moving companies just make it worse. I went with IVL and had a solid experience—they were upfront about costs, and my stuff arrived in decent shape. My advice? Always get everything in writing before signing. And take pics of all your valuables. If you’re still looking, check out some international van lines reviews —saved me from a total disaster.
Honestly, big moving companies are hit or miss. Some promise the world and leave you stranded, while others are actually decent. In my case, I went with a mid-sized company that focused on personal service, and it made all the difference. No lost items, no surprise fees, and the movers actually cared. If you’re moving long-distance, don’t just go for the biggest name—sometimes the best service comes from the companies you haven’t heard about.
