TLDR, this has been an awful company to work with. If you’re going to spend thousands of dollars, be sure you’re partnering with an ethical company that has customer service/satifications as one of their main values. I picked IVL because they were on a Forbes list. They probably paid to be on said list, but I went for it anyway. I hope you don’t make the same mistake I did.
Picture this: All of your personal belongings are in the possession of a team people/company actually don’t care. The proess has been chaotic, unorganized, and the customer service has been terrible. I could not recommend this company less.
My whole experience [to date] below:
1 - I've had multiple [4] "Account Managers" since originally planning my move beginning in November 2023. All of them have been extremely difficult to contact when getting items added/removed from my invoice. When my invoices were updated, most times there were errors and I had to go back and correct the rep I was working with.
2 - When the movers arrived, they instantly broke my bed frame when taking it apart. They told me they "found the bed like that", although the bed frame was 3 years old and had never been moved. They left a fragment of wood from the bed on the ground further confirming that they broke my bed after lying to me. Bear in mind that not only did they leave fragments of wood from the disassembly, they also left the place full rolls of tape, paper, and random garbage that they brought in.
3 - Writing in to my Account Manager making her aware of this issue was impossible. Only after calling into their general support line did I get an email response. The person I chatted with (who was very nonchalant about the whole situation) has now introduced me to a member of their claims department, who is now my new point of contact. He’s been the only good representative I’ve had. I guess 4th times a charm. Although I’ve finally lucked out with a more responsive and competent member of their team, this doesn’t help the fact that they broke my bed frame and have offered no solution.
Their solution: “Did you get 3rd-party insurance? Did you read the Bill of Lading? All we can offer you is $0.60 per/pound.
Imagine my $1,000 bed frame is 100lbs. Lucky for me, IVL is going to compensate me $60 for damage they caused before the move even started.
4 - The day before my move I get a call from the truck driver saying he’ll be at my storage unit tomorrow. He says “well, it doesn’t look like this place is 18-wheeler accessible”, although I’ve confirmed multiple times with my storage facility. Their recommendation is that I find another storage unit because they need to be in Maryland tomorrow. I guess f*** my stuff, right?
Whoever you are, I hope you save yourself a headache (and some money) and don’t choose IVL. Like every purchase, when you spend a lot of money on something, you expect a good product. From the booking of the move, to the move itself, and the customer in between, this is a bad product. Buyer beware.
