We specialize in moves to Japan, and bring a wealth of experience and knowledge of the country with us. Our team of international movers have years of combined experience helping individuals and families relocate to Japan quickly and efficiently.
We understand the unique challenges associated with international moving, which is why we strive to make the process as stress-free as possible for our customers.
Initial Consultation
Getting ready to move to Japan? Hercules Moving Company is here to help! Our initial consultation is the first step in the international moving process. We provide a free consultation, either through a call or through our website form.
During this consultation, we will discuss your moving needs and requirements - including timeline, budget, quantity of items being shipped and more. This information is critical in ensuring a successful move; without it, we cannot properly plan for what's ahead.
We understand that moving can be an intimidating process - let us take the stress off you by providing professional guidance and management throughout your entire relocation journey!
Virtual Survey
After the initial consultation with one of our specialized international movers, the next step is to get a reliable estimate of your move. That’s where our AI Estimating tool Yembo.ai comes in handy.
Using the latest technological advancements, Yembo.ai can reduce the time needed for the estimate and automatically detect items, measure their volume via a simple video call and prepare inventory that meets ISO 17451 standards.
It is a modern, easy and fast way to get an estimate - so you can be sure that you’re not overpaying for your international move. At Hercules Moving Company we constantly stay updated about new technologies on the market in order to provide our customers with an efficient and smooth-sailing relocation service for overseas moves.
With our AI virtual survey, individuals relocating to Japan will be able to accurately assess the volume of their items and get a free accurate international moving estimate without any time-consuming visits or home inspections
Receive All In and Transparent Quote
After our virtual survey, which is powered by Yembo.ai and requires minimum information from the client, we provide an all-in moving estimate. Our estimates are both transparent and all-inclusive: all charges are included in the quote for your convenience.
Our experienced international moving coordinators will consider many factors when determining your best overseas moving estimate, including personal needs and budget. We pride ourselves on personalized service for each of our clients and work towards complete customer satisfaction.
At Hercules Moving Company we also offer a price match guarantee with any reputable Canadian Association of Movers (CAM) member or other moving company as well, giving you the peace of mind that you are getting the best deal possible for your international move to Japan.
Expert Packing for Moving to Japan
It's packing day and you have booked a move to Japan! One thing to remember when moving internationally is that most countries do not allow Packed by Owner containers (PBO). If you make the mistake of packing any items yourself and customs does not allow it, then you may face long delays and extra charges.
Fortunately, at Hercules Moving Company, we have years of experience in international moving. We have a team of expert packers who use only the best packing materials and techniques for international moves. Instead of using moving blankets, we use Branded Alligator Wrap for extra protection.
We also use extra sturdy international moving boxes.
International packing must be done much better than local packing. Our expert packers will prepare an inventory that meets all import and export requirements for your move to Japan.
Not only that, but we will also package your items so they are properly protected during their overseas transport.
Customs Clearance When Moving to Japan
When you move internationally to Japan, the shipment will be loaded and shipped with the method that best suits your needs. Upon arrival in the destination country, our experienced professionals will handle the customs clearance to make sure all items are cleared for entry into Japan.
Customs clearance can be a daunting process, but our team of experts is well-versed in navigating the complex regulations and requirements associated with international relocation. We provide personalized support for each client throughout the entire process – from completing paperwork to answering any questions or addressing any concerns.
Our customs clearance services guarantee a smooth transition when relocating abroad, helping to minimize delays and ensure that all items are delivered on time and without any issues.
With our expertise and dedication, you can trust that your move will go as smoothly as possible with no unexpected surprises along the way.
Delivery to Japan
Once items have cleared customs, they will be delivered to the client's new overseas home. This process is handled by a trusted agent in the destination country, a service known as destination service.
Our delivery service is an optional service for clients who have chosen a door-to-door move. If desired, you can also opt to handle delivery yourself.
Debris removal is included in the delivery service, free of charge, on the same moving day. This helps you keep your new home clean and tidy after the move.
Our movers are also experienced in staging furniture in your new home exactly how you'd like it - so you don't have to worry about it!
Our moving services also guarantee that international movers to Japan will enjoy peace of mind knowing that all the delivery logistics are taken care of - leaving them free to focus on settling into their new home with ease and comfort.
