Long Distance Moving

Hercules Moving Systems has resources, storage facilities, trucks and equipment all over the country. While we established our reputation by bringing higher standards of service to the local and long distance moving industries, in recent years we have also operated as a service provider for some major international moving relocation companies.

Why a Good International Service Needs a Solid Local Operation Base

An international shipment may require a pick up in Wyoming, New York or Hawaii. Each pick up location presents international movers with unique logistic requirements and requires skilled treatment. Hercules Moving Systems has the means and the facilities to pick up from almost any location in the United States.

This brings us to one of the gray areas in the moving industry that is rarely discussed. Most moving operations, especially the smaller ones, perform only a small amount of the jobs that they book by themselves. Small companies will normally have the means to pick up a shipment by themselves only if it is located in their immediate location and its surroundings. All other pick up operations are done by other companies that the original company will contact after they have added the new move to their schedules.

The Advantages of Dealing with a Larger Sized Company

A larger sized company, such as Hercules Moving Systems, will be able to fully control all aspects of the relocation from start to finish. As we have dispatch centers and facilities in several key cities, we do our own pick up, using our own manpower and trucks.

The high level of control we have is exactly the reason why international moving service  providers, such as companies specializing in shipping to Dubai and other UAE destinations, are choosing Hercules as their exclusive pick up agent in the United States.

 

Hercules Moving Systems is proud to announce a new joint collaboration with an international shipping project. This project involves international shipping to Dubai and allows us to utilize our facilities and resources in the United States and abroad in new and exciting ways.

Dubai shipping involves a high level of expertise and we believe that the knowledge we have accumulated over the years, involving all aspects of the moving industry, will allow us to provide the best possible price and service.

This important project evolved after Hercules has been approached by the Dubai shipping company resource website for a possible collaboration. This means that Hercules Moving will be one of the three companies competing for the business of customers that approach the website.

International shipping involves many stages and requires a high level of expertise, both on the US end and abroad. It is no secret that we have established ourselves as one of the leading local and long distance service providers in the US. We bring to the international moving scene the same high level of professionalism and customer service that have made us so successful over the years in the US moving scene.

Shipping to Dubai with a large company such as Hercules allows customers to enjoy a high level of flexibility in sending both large and small cargos. Our network of storage facilities in key cities throughout the United States allows us to pick up shipments of any size, full container and consolidation, and time the delivery according to the customer’s needs.

Researching long distance moving on the internet can cause even the most relaxed person to throw a tantrum. There are virtually hundreds of service providers, each claiming to be the best long distance mover since the first truck was invented. Not only that, you get to hear many different and often conflicting explanations about how exactly the move will be done. Cubic feet, weight, cubic weight, it’s enough to make your head spin.

When getting your long distance estimate you will find out many times that you don’t really understand what it’s all about, how the price was calculated and what may cause it to go up or down.

Let Hercules Moving Systems be the first one to break the news to you: Long Distance Moving doesn’t need to be complicated, not to the customer in any event.

Long distance moving should be clear and easy to follow, as well as all the terms and conditions. While it is definitely a complex process for the mover, having to store, transport, pack, un-pack and deliver goods across hundreds and sometimes even thousands of miles, for the customer it should be easy.

Following this philosophy, Hercules Moving Systems provides you with estimates that are easy to understand and do not require complex calculations. You pay for the actual space your goods will take on a moving van or a trailer, no more and no less.  You consult with us and decide in advance whether or not you require packing services and you get all the assistance you need if you decide to purchase an extra insurance policy.

The simple truth is that many companies want long distance estimates to be complex simply because they do not want you, the customer, to be in control. That’s why we do all the complex work for you and make the rest very easy.

While Hercules Moving Systems is a reputable mover, virtually all moving companies that you will contact will claim to be reputable as well. Remember that ill reputable companies will never openly admit to being untrustworthy and it is up to you to research and verify that you are indeed dealing with reputable operations. Hercules Moving Systems recommends that you contact about three to four reputable movers in order to obtain a moving estimate. It is also recommended not to contact too many movers and receive too many estimates as this may lead to confusion. When you receive the estimate, make sure that all the terms and conditions are fully understood. Make sure that the basic rate per pound or per cubic foot is communicated to you and also that all other charged are fully explained and understood. At Hercules Moving Systems we try to keep the pricing and the terms as simple as possible as we believe that the customer should understand and be fully involved with the moving process.

Each building management has different specifications for the certificate and it is important to understand that it needs to be prepared for each and every move. If your building management requires a certificate of insurance and Hercules Moving Systems was not notified about it in advance, the movers will not be allowed access to the building. In order to avoid this, you need to check with your building management about the requirements in advance and update your Hercules Moving Systems sales representative ahead of time.
