Thank you for your interest in Hercules Delivery Service. Here are the answers to some of our most commonly asked questions and a short list of our services.

Hercules has two warehouse locations in Florida. One is located in Miami, just minutes away from the Design District of Miami. Our second Florida warehouse is located on the west coast of Florida in Ft. Myers, just a few miles away from the International Design Center.

We attempt to open and inspect all items within 48 to 72 hours, from Monday-Friday, excluding holidays. You can find our hours of operation on our Operating Hours page. After inspection is complete, Hercules will notify you with an itemized inventory of received merchandise. There is a minimum inspection fee of $15 per piece, per shipment. Prices may very pending size and weight (eg. crated items).

Any damages or issues found at the time of inspection will be documented, and a claim will be initiated by notifying you, the client. Hercules will forward all documentation (pictures & documents) to the designer and/or showroom. The client is responsible for all follow-ups and finalizing their own claim. Hercules does not take responsibility for hidden or manufacturers defects. The inspection fee paid should not be considered an insurance policy. Our inspections are limited to apparent damages only.

Hercules will provide quilt wrap services along with set-up and trash removal. All delivery fees are based on ground floor installs with a two-man delivery crew. Furniture that needs to be carried upstairs will be charge based on the number of flights our team has to navigate. Incidental charges may be applied to special request deliveries, additional manpower & unforeseen circumstances at no fault of Hercules.
