DO NOT HIRE. When I first contacted this company the gentleman I spoke to was super nice and helpful. I was packing my own things to move to Oregon from Hawaii. When my husband and I moved to Hawaii I did all the packing and we loaded a 40' container, huge screen TV, large glass curio cabinet, scads of breakables and furniture. 1 small bowl was broken. The fellows in Hawaii who loaded a truck for things to go onto a pallet, not taking as much back, were very conscientious and careful. The items arrived in Oregon later than I was told and to my surprise just about everything was damaged. My beautiful Duncan Phyfe style antique table arrived in pieces, All the legs were broken off, the wood screw/dowelling s they used way back when to put things together were sheared off, 75% of picture frames with glass were smashed, large antique painting frame had one corner smashed off, pieces for my platform bed were missing, handles broken off dressers, large gouge in side of dresser, Even a ceramic insert for a brand new crock pot that was still in it's original shipping container, then wrapped in a towel and put into another box was shattered into 8 pieces..Of the three wardrobes, only 1 arrived as it was the other two boxes where smashed, the hanger portions bent and all the clothes were on the bottom of the boxes. My whole pallet had to have dropped from quite a height to cause that much damage. I asked about insurance when I signed on and was told that they could provide it but it was expensive and that they automatically paid $.60 per lb on damage if I didn't buy it. They also suggested that my Personal Property Insurance would cover the move. I had sent a message to my State Farm agent regarding that and didn't hear back until after the things had shipped, actually until they arrived all smashed. I was told that they do cover moving but not with a Moving Company, too bad, sorry. I asked if I was suppose to put it on my back and swim across the ocean. I just received a from Hercules Moving offering me $31.50 for my damages. The letter also states that if I accept the check I am not allowed to write anything bad about the company. Guess who is not signing the letter. I felt I have to warn others about this company. Hercules suggested the problem was because I packed my own stuff, Read the beginning, I packed all of it and more plus loaded a 40' container for the move here and only 1 small bowl was broken, I packed this time they loaded, transferred and shipped and 85% of the load was damage or outright broken when they handled it.
I have photos if anyone wants to see them. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. I filed my claim in February and it took this long to basically send me a "kiss off", end of July. Photos available is requested.
