Moving to a new country can be an exciting, yet daunting task. With Hercules Moving Company, we can help make the process of international moving to Barbados as smooth as possible. When you contact us, we will schedule a free consultation with you to discuss your moving needs and requirements.
We will gather important information such as your timeline, budget and the quantity of items that need to be shipped during this consultation. This information is vital in ensuring a successful move for you and your family.
We understand how important it is for you to have a stress-free relocation experience and our team of experienced professionals are ready to help make it happen!
Virtual Survey
Following the initial consultation, Hercules Moving Company offers a customized AI-powered virtual survey solution – Yembo.ai – to quickly and accurately estimate the accompanying moving costs for customers relocating to Barbados.
Yembo.ai is able to reduce the time needed to gather an estimate, take inventory, and measure the volume of items with a simple video call, all while adhering to ISO 17451 standards.
This modern, easy, and fast way to get an accurate estimate makes us one of the most efficient international movers available on the market today.
We are constantly dedicating resources towards staying up-to-date with cutting edge technology that benefits our customers in terms of cost estimation accuracy, reliability of services, and overall customer satisfaction.
Receive All In and Transparent Quote
After the Virtual Survey is done and the minimum required factors are known, we at Yembo.ai provide a transparent and all-inclusive international moving estimate. Our estimates include all costs and taxes that may apply so that you are fully aware of the final price before signing the agreement.
Our international moving coordinators also consider many additional factors when determining the best estimate for you: mode of transportation, time of year, insurance coverage options, etc. Every client we receive has a personalized approach based on their particular needs, budget and deadline.
We will work with you to ensure complete customer satisfaction.
We also offer our customers price matching with any reputable moving company, as well as Canadian Association of Movers (CAM) members.
This way you have peace of mind knowing that your move will be handled with proficiency and care within your budget limits.
Expert Packing for Moving to Barbados
Moving to Barbados is booked, and it's packing day! Different from local moves, most countries, including Barbados, do not allow Packed by Owner containers (PBO) – this means that if customs finds out that the container was packed by the customer instead of a professional international packer and mover, long delays and extra charges may occur.
At Hercules Moving Company we have years of experience in international moving – our expert team of packers knows the best packing materials and techniques to guarantee that your items will arrive safely to their destination.
We use branded Alligator Wrap instead of moving blankets, extra sturdy international moving boxes, and we ensure that all pieces of furniture are wrapped with protective bubble wrap.
International packing has to be performed much better than local packing since overseas transport can be more aggressive – our packers will prepare your inventory in a way that meets all import and export requirements.
We take pride in preparing your items in a way that they will be safe during their journey across different continents.
Customs Clearance When Moving to Barbados
Once the packing is completed, the shipment is loaded onto a preferred method of transportation and shipped overseas to Barbados. Upon arrival, the shipment must be cleared through customs.
The customs clearance process can be a challenging process and requires various forms of documentation and procedures to ensure items are successfully cleared for entry into Barbados.
At Hercules Moving Company, we have extensive experience in handling customs clearance procedures in Barbados. We understand the complexities of the regulations and requirements for entry into this beautiful island nation, which is why we ensure that our clients are guided by experienced professionals who can provide the necessary support throughout this process.
Our team is dedicated to providing personalized support and assistance to our clients during their relocation – from completing paperwork to addressing any questions or concerns they may have related to customs clearance.
Ultimately, our top-notch services ensure that all items are delivered on time and without any issues, making for a smooth transition into your new home in Barbados.
Delivery to Barbados
Once the items have cleared customs, they will be delivered to your new overseas home by our trusted agent in the destination country.
Delivery - or destination service - is an optional service that can be chosen if you have selected door-to-door service, however you can opt to handle delivery yourself if you prefer.
It's important to note that debris removal is included in the service if it is on the same moving day: a free service that helps you keep your new home clean and tidy after the move.
Our delivery services also help ensure that furniture is staged in your new home how you like it. This allows you to focus on settling into your new surroundings without worrying about the logistics of moving. To start making your move easier, contact us now for a free quote.
