Overcharges, Scammers
I had an initial quote of $1750 for a 200cft container from Orlando, FL to Brazil. I had insurance for $206.60 which brought my total to $1956.60. I used their item list inventory to calculate the items I would ship and according to their website www.intlmove.com I had a little space left to be filled. Once the movers came and took my items 3 weeks later I receive an invoice for $1802.50 for overflow of an additional 206 cft. I decided to take the additional items out since they said it would be only about $150 to $200 to reduce and was much better than paying $1802. A week later they send me the invoice but only reduced $871.78. When I called to ask why they only reduced that amount they hesistated in giving me a straight answer telling me the extra charge was for transportation of the items taken out, I explained that I myself with the help of my brother took the items on his minivan and should not be charging me. They then told me it was for the labor when initially it was to be only $150 to $200. Since it was almost time for me to leave and the shipment would not sail without paying I paid the balance of $1380.46. They told me over the phone the shipment would arrive in 3 months, but it arrived in 4 weeks. I arrived in Brasil to receive a letter from customs that my shipment had arrived and that the weight filed and the actual weight differed from 272kg to 632.5kg and they could not liberate without the correction of weight. I emailed Intlmove to correct the weight as they filed the paperwork. 2 weeks later I receive an email with an invoice of $280.00 for the correction, I was angry at this since they made the mistake why did I have to pay. I emailed them stating this only to receive another invoice for non payment of the $280 for $500 an additional total of $780.00. They did not give the Bill of Landing to customs and without this I cannot receive my items, I emailed again only to receieve the response that thye be happy to send the paperwork as soon as I pay my balance. I refuse to pay a penny more to those scammers, total paid was $3337.32. Id rather lose all my things then give then a penny more. I'm currently speaking to lawyers to see what I can do. Im also posting on every website possible their lack of business ethic. Yulisa Sanchez and Aguinaldo Rosa Dasilva.
