Initial Consultation

Moving to a new country is a big step and one that requires planning. To ensure the most successful relocation possible, it's important to have a thorough initial consultation with your international movers.

At Hercules Moving Company, we always begin with scheduling a free consultation so that we can properly assess your moving needs and requirements. During the consultation, we will gather information such as timeline, budget and quantity of items to be shipped so that every detail of the move is taken into account.

This ensures that all expectations are met while keeping an eye on any potential problems or issues that may arise during the process.

We understand how important it is for you to have an enjoyable relocation experience and feel confident in our ability to provide you with exceptional service for your move to Switzerland.

After an initial consultation with our experienced moving professionals, we offer a modern, easy and fast way to get an estimate – our AI Estimating Tool ‘Yembo.ai’.

Expert Packing for Moving to Switzerland

Today is the packing day. Your move to Switzerland is booked and now it's time to get ready for the journey. Unlike some other countries, most countries don’t allow Packed by Owner containers.

If your items are packed by anyone who isn’t certified, they may be charged with additional fees and experience long delays when they reach customs.

Fortunately, you have Hercules Moving Company to help you with your international move to Switzerland. Our team of expert packers have years of experience in international moving and know exactly what kinds of packing materials and techniques are required for a successful overseas transport.

Instead of using commonplace moving blankets, our packers use alligator wrap to secure any fragile items during the move. We also use extra-sturdy international moving boxes that are designed specifically for transporting goods overseas.

International packing requires much more attention than local packing as all items must be accounted for in an inventory that meets all import and export requirements.

Hercules Moving Company will carefully pack your items so that they will remain safe and secure throughout the whole process of transportation across international borders.

Customs Clearance When Moving to Switzerland

When it comes to international moving to Switzerland, the packing process is only the first step. After packing is completed, the items are loaded onto our preferred method of transportation and shipped off to Switzerland.

Upon arrival in Switzerland, the shipment must go through customs clearance in order for the items to be accepted into the country. This involves a number of complex processes and paperwork, and requires experienced professionals who understand these regulations intimately.

At Hercules Moving Company, we understand this process better than anyone else and are committed to providing personalized support throughout the entire customs clearance procedure. Our team is knowledgeable about all required documents and protocols, and can help clients navigate any potential issues that may arise along the way.

We also provide assistance with completing paperwork and can answer any questions or concerns you may have about this process.

Our expertise in international moving customs clearance procedures helps ensure a smooth transition for our clients, ensuring that their shipments arrive on time without any delays or complications due to incorrect paperwork or non-compliance with regulations.

With our help you can rest assured that your items will make it safely into Switzerland without issue or delay!

Delivery to Switzerland

Once your items have cleared customs, it's time for delivery - or what's often called 'destination service'. This is an optional service offered when you select door-to-door service. If you choose to handle delivery yourself, that's fine too.

But if you do opt for our delivery services, keep in mind that we also include debris removal if it's done on the same moving day. This is a free service that helps ensure your new home stays clean and tidy after the move.

We also offer furniture staging services to help you make the most of your new space.

Our delivery services make it easy for you to focus on settling into your new home in Switzerland without worrying about the logistics of moving. Plus, with our team of expert international movers handling the details, you can rest assured that everything will arrive safely and on time at your destination.

Meanwhile, our experienced coordinators will keep you informed throughout each step of the process so you don't have to worry about your items arriving safely at their destination.

Door to Port Moving to Switzerland

We specialize in door to port moving to Switzerland, providing a complete international shipping solution. Our customers can enjoy the freedom of choosing their preferred destination agent, while still leveraging our expertise in handling door to port moves. Door-to-port moving is often more cost-effective than door-to-door service and requires greater input from the customer in terms of labeling and packing goods according to specific regulations.

But don't worry - Hercules will provide top notch services both at origin and destination ports, securely delivering your shipment all the way down to its final destination. And with us standing behind them, our customers can rest assured that their move is entirely tailored for them.

Move your belongings with confidence, from your old doorstep to your new one or to a distant port.

Donald Quan

Used Hercules for the first time for the move of my very expensive and rare C.Bechstein grand - I was so pleased with their service an demeanour at the baby coddling care they used in handling my pride and joy that I will be using them for all of my piano moves from here on. I highly recommend these Guelph movers. Donald Quan - award winning film composer.

RaisingtheRoof

Hercules Movers were great to deal with and very professional. They were on time with very friendly movers who even called to update us on their departure and arrival. We had a great experience with these Oshawa movers and recommend them to everyone.

The guys over at Hercules Moving came highly recommended and they did not disappoint! Their meticulous attention to detail in wrapping every piece of furniture did not come at the cost of time, they were still highly efficient and very hard working. Vidas and his partner were very friendly and made the move stress free! Their full service is very impressive.The next time I move I will be choosing Hercules Moving Company and so should you!!

Mary.Paul.211

We really appreciate the kind generosity of the Hercules moving company in moving the piano to our house. They didn't accept any money, because they were doing our son a favour as he is currently diagnosed with a pre-existing condition. Sending lots of good energy and good karma their way! We too will one day make sure we pay this forward. Highly recommend them - very good people!

These guys really did a great job. Newmarket movers did not skimp on wrapping everything properly and moving all my sensitive and expensive equipment carefully. Call them for a quote and you won't be disappointed.

Hercules rescued my move when another Toronto movers cancelled on me days before the big day. They were professional and knew exactly how to protect all of my belongings during the move in terrible rain.

This company to put it simply was AMAZING! The initial call to Hercules went extremely well from that moment I knew this was the company I would use. Walter who made the booking was efficient and quick in meeting all my needs. The day of the move the team worked very well wrapping all of my furniture securely preventing any damage. The workers and entire staff were friendly very fast and clearly enjoy there job. I will definitely recommend Hercules moving company to all my friends and family for there moving needs. Special thank you to Vidas and his team of workers! Great job guys!

Hercules is by far the most efficient, customer friendly and experienced movers I have dealt with. They took such good care of furniture and personal belongings and made a stressful move seem effortless. I would not hesitate to use these Ottawa movers again. For a five star, hassle free service, with great care and attention, I would recommend Hercules.

Wow. Hercules exceeded my expectations. Moved from a 2 bedroom condo to 3 bedroom town house this past week (July 7 2017). The 3 young men were on time, polite and respectful of all my belongings. I was nervous about this move as I had never hired a moving company before, usually moved with friends and family. And with the negative press about movers I wasn't sure how well it was going to go. It went better than I expected for less money too! Would recommend this company without reservation.

I am very satisfied with their work.They were punctual. They work fast, very careful, and very professional.

Very pleasant movers. Worked diligently without a break from 10 to 3. Would definitely recommend them.

It was a last minute request and I was accommodated with prompt response, Excellent service.

Suzettekennedy16

This company was very professional. There was a minor delay, they fixed that very satisfactorily which in my opinion is the best sign of a professional, reliable company. The delivery went smoothly, guys were polite, efficient, professional and on time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and use these gentlemen again.

Vivid Reflection

With short notice, Hercules Moving Company was able to book my piano moving during a time that worked well for me. Other companies I had looked into were not as flexible and were more expensive. They were very professional. I would definitely use Hercules Oshawa Moving Company again, and would absolutely recommend them.

I recently had a packing and moving with Hercules! Excellent customer service, polite and everything on time! Michael and his team did a wonderful job and I am very glad I planned my move with this company! Highly recommend!
