When moving locally, do I have to insure my goods?
It is always a good idea to insure your most valuable items, such as Waterford crystals, grand pianos, sculptures and expensive works of art. Your renters or home owners insurance might be an option. Her Moving Hawaii also provides insurance through a third party company.

Yes, all those are permitted to be moved locally, although please note that they cannot be stored.

Will my moving company move my pets?
Moving can be very stressful for humans and pets alike. For liability and safety reasons, pets cannot be moved in a moving truck.

From the very beginning scheduling with them was a breeze as we had a few delays prepping ourselves to move. The owner Gabriel was more than accommodating to reschedule with us not once but twice. On the day of the move they arrived right on time and ready to go, and let me tell you these guys are hammers! I have a 250 lb custom wood headboard for my bed that they wrapped carefully and moved with ease. When we reached the drop off location, Gabriel had sent two more workers free of charge to help the delivery go extra smooth, this is customer service at its finest! If I ever move again, I'll 100% be calling the big guns at Hero Moving. Thank you for making a usually stressful experience, easy and painless. read less

This company:
1) Charged me for packing supplies I never received
2) Damaged my items by carelessly "packing" them in the shipping container without strapping anything down
3) Lost a couple of my items
4) Delivered my things over 3 weeks late
5) Tricked me into paying the last installment before I even received anything
and still feels they are not at fault.
I dealt mainly with the company's owner Gabe and all he had were excuses. Not once did he reach out to me first to notify me of the many delays we experienced. I had to contact him AND coordinate with the shipping company (Young Brothers) to get my things. I thought I hired a moving company to lessen the stress I would experience with this move but apparently, I paid for the exact opposite.
*Side note, save or print a copy of all your documents as you receive them should you still decide to hire them. Once Gabe was aware that I disputed my charges, he removed the copies of my original signed contracts and left only edited versions since he uses an online system. All of the contract and estimate links that were emailed to me show false information in an attempt to make himself look better. read lessChelsea M.2 years agoWe were very happy with the three young men that came to move us out/in.

Hero Moving came through for us at a time when most businesses are in so much turmoil due to the Covid Pandemic. We did have some issues, but Gabriel stepped in and got everything straightened out and we were made whole in a matter of days. It is this type of dedication to customers that distinguishes a mediocre company from a truly genuine, caring company. We are glad and fortunate to have Hero Moving taking care of our needs. They are friendly, professional, and dedicated to serving their customer with 5 Star Service. Thank you to Gabriel and his Team for their help and support. We highly recommend them to anyone in need of moving and storage services on Oahu. read less

We held high hopes for the best in choosing HERO moving company for our household move from Honolulu to Kona Hawaii.
Pros:- Offered the best (initial) price among all shippers. Great sales pitch.
Cons:
Confusing information provided regarding estimate, shipping/arrival schedule, and insurance.
Breakage of household items during packing.
Damage to NEW wood floors during packing.
Poor packing.
Damage to $10,000 Tempur-pedic mattress by movers kicking and abusing mattress to fit into a full transport truck.
Lack of communication
Poor information regarding shipping insurance eventually resulting in no coverage for breakage.
Damage of $5000 table upon arrival at new location
Breakage of expensive antique furniture upon arrival at receiving location.
Home damage to carpets and walls at new location while un packing.
Poor communication of unskilled contract workers at new location.
Lack of communication to resolve damage issues.
In the end costs exceeded price of the most expensive shipper.

The first time was to ship Medical equipment and furnishings for our new location in Hilo. These guys did a great job! Super professional, hard working and we're great at communicating. This time I'm using them to move furnishings from a furniture warehouse to a home and let me tell you..... These young men work their butts off! No fooling around and running the clock.

We then went online and requested for a mover and thankfully we got a fast response from business owner Gabriel. The price was surprisingly cheaper than other moving companies. The guys were fast and efficient, especially having to carry furniture down two flights of stairs and then up another flight of stairs. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a moving company with great low prices. read less

40 ft container load to CA The crew with Hero Moving were very careful with my furniture, wrapped and packed every single item before it was loaded into the container. Ruben, Alex and Matt ran up and down the stairs at least 100 times each and did it with a smile. These guys are great!
