1st move international terrible service

I thought I'd start this blog and hope that it comes up in your search for 1st move international.

I don't usually write these reviews however they have made my move process a terrible experience. There are other blogs out there that say the same. It seems a few people like the company however the more people I speak to in person the worse the review get.

Don't let their charm get you. They are not nice.

And if you do use them...I TOLD YOU SO! :P

Other blogs same the same...

Here's a brief summary of what I experienced:

- They pack terribly despite what they tell you. I had 1 cubic metre of goods which was packed into 1.41 cubic metres. Indeed - so quote around 1.5 or 2 times what you actually send.

- They say they cover all charges - they don't - what you pay them is actually not even close to the overall charges. When your goods arrive you'll be charged a truck cleaning fee, forklift fee, arrival fee, other fees that will total hundreds of dollars.

- The service you receive once your goods are in transit will be dreadful.

- They say your goods will be in the USA or country within 4 weeks as they ship more regularly than most shipping companies. It wont. It will actually most likely take twice as long as they told you it would.

- They say most shipments do not get stopped for xrays and searches. In actual fact, they do more regularly than they say. And, if you happen to have another person's dodgy (sketchy) stuff on your crate (beyond your control) you will still be liable for some charges.

More to come.

Lesson - do not use them!



And for the search engines.....!
