My International Movers Brooklyn Info | Compare Moving Quotes

My International Movers (their international moving division) handled my move from Seattle, WA to Adelaide, Australia. From the beginning, things were difficult to coordinate with the moving specialist. Numerous calls and emails would go un-answered until I would contact other people at the company. Then it took 7.5 months for my belongings to arrive, all the while the company suddenly requiring more money than what was listed in the contract for delivery. Their moving specialist even tried to charge a university credit card that was specifically used to hold the reservation over 7 months prior. Nonetheless, here's where the real problems began: The delivery of my items. Six of the dozen or so major pieces of furniture moved were irreparably damaged. The moving company here in Australia was astounded by the lack of care the company put into packing any of the items, which included an armoire with legs sticking out of any wrapping (two of the legs were severely damaged), a dresser that was wrapped in nothing but thin cardboard and that was split almost the entire length of the dresser, paintings wrapped in nothing but tissue and cardboard, both of which were shattered, a bicycle placed in an otherwise empty cardboard box and that, as a result, had its frame bent, and a lamp placed in a box labeled 'fragile' that received no other protection and was therefore absolutely demolished. Mind you, every item I wrapped and packed in boxes myself arrived fine, including glass figurines and mugs. It was only the poorly packaged furniture items handled by My International Movers themselves that were damaged. The estimated damage, which is all photographed and documented, is ~$10,000 U.S. dollars. The end result has been the company offering me $500, far below the minimum liability insurance for 300 cubic feet of items shipped. It's almost more of an insult to offer me that low amount after what was clearly a result of their negligence. I cannot stress enough: this has been one of the worst business transaction experiences of my life, and the company *still* refuses to acknowledge its wrongdoing. My main goal at this point is to help others steer clear of the mistake I made hiring them to move my belongings.

I needed to send off my grand piano and a few other things to my folks back in Australia so I can free up some space. My international movers have been a great service since they were able to pick up my things, packed up it carefully to prevent any mishaps or damages, and get it delivered overseas. I have not used a service like this before but I can tell that my experience has been pleasant. They delivered my things overseas and handled it with care. It’s not often I ship a piano and such but moving A Steinway piano better be well taken care of! They did just that as well. Lived up to their contractual agreements and now my folks can enjoy the ivories. I would highly recommend them!
