Initial Consultation
When you are planning a move to Samoa, the first step is to schedule a free consultation with Hercules Moving Company. We will take the time to understand your unique moving needs and requirements, discuss any questions or concerns you may have and provide tailored advice for an efficient and successful move.
During the initial consultation, we will gather important information such as timeline for your move, budget constraints and quantity of items that need to be shipped. This information is crucial in order for us to create a customised solution that meets all of your individual needs during this process.
Our experienced team of professionals are here to ensure that every step of your relocation goes as smoothly as possible from start to finish.
Virtual Survey
After our initial consultation with you, we move on to the next step in our process: a virtual survey. We use an AI Estimating tool, Yembo.ai, to reduce the amount of time needed to get an estimate on distances and costs.
Our AI virtual survey tool automatically detects inventory and measures the volume of the items via a simple video call. This survey also ensures that all inventory is prepared according to ISO 17451 standards.
This is a modern, easy, and fast way to get an estimate for international moving. We stay updated on the latest technology in order to provide you with the best service possible so you can rest assured that the estimate you receive is accurate and reliable.
With our AI virtual survey tool estimating your international moving costs has never been easier or faster.
Receive All In and Transparent Quote
After the virtual survey, our Yembo.ai tool provides an online all-in moving estimate that is transparent and comprehensive. All charges are included in the estimate, so you know exactly what you'll pay.
Our international moving coordinators consider many factors when determining the best estimate for each client, as every individual move has its own needs and budget considerations.
We are committed to providing complete customer satisfaction, and our estimates are designed with that goal in mind.
We can even price match any reputable moving company or Canadian Association of Movers (CAM) member, so that you can rest assured that you're getting the best deal on your international move.
Expert Packing for Moving to Samoa
It's packing day! Moving to Samoa requires a higher level of expertise and techniques when it comes to packing. Most countries will not allow Packed by Owner containers (PBO), which can lead to long/dramatic delays and extra charges if customs does not approve them.
At Hercules, we have years of experience in international moving, and a team of expert packers who specialize in international packing. We use the best packing materials and techniques, such as Branded Alligator Wrap instead of moving blankets, and extra sturdy international moving boxes.
International packing has to be performed much better than local packing. We will prepare an inventory that meets all import and export requirements during the packing process as well.
Rest assured that your items will be packed in a way that they are safe during overseas transport.
Customs Clearance When Moving to Samoa
After expertly packing your items for international moving to Samoa, the shipment is then loaded and shipped to its destination. Upon arriving in Samoa, your shipment will need to clear customs. Customs clearance involves completing paperwork and providing documentation that proves the items belong to you and are allowed into the country.
At Hercules Moving Company, we have a team of experienced professionals who specialize in navigating the complex regulations and requirements associated with overseas moving customs.
We provide personalized support throughout the customs clearance process, assisting clients with completing paperwork and promptly addressing any questions or concerns they may have. Our expertise helps to ensure a smooth transition, minimizing potential delays and ensuring that items are delivered on time and without any issues.
We understand how important it is for individuals relocating to Samoa to receive their belongings quickly and hassle-free, which is why we offer specialized services for international movers to Samoa customs.
Delivery to Samoa
Once the items have cleared customs, they will be delivered to the client's new home overseas. Our trusted agents in the destination country handle this process, which is also known as destination service.
Whether you are moving to Samoa or a different international location, we offer delivery services as an optional add-on to our door-to-door service package. Of course, if you would prefer to handle the delivery yourself, that is an option too.
When you choose our delivery service, we also offer free debris removal on the same day of the move. This helps you keep your new home clean and tidy as soon as you arrive. We also can help you stage your furniture how you like in your new home.
Our delivery services ensure that you can focus on settling into your new home without worrying about the logistics of moving. For more information on our international movers to Samoa and our destination service options, contact us for a free quote today!
