Why a Guaranteed Quote Changes Your Moving Experience
Most moving companies charge by the hour. That means your final cost depends on how long the day runs and how long the day runs depends on factors neither you nor your movers can fully control: elevator wait times, parking complications, traffic, tight access points, or simply more items than anticipated.
Ferguson uses guaranteed written pricing because it produces a better move. When the price is fixed, planning is thorough. The right crew size, truck, and equipment are confirmed in advance. Every access challenge is identified and accounted for before moving day. There’s no incentive to rush and no anxiety about the clock.
How Guaranteed Pricing Works
Your Move Is Assessed in Full
Every guaranteed quote begins with a personalized assessment — in-home or by guided video. We review every item to be moved, access conditions at both locations, distance, logistics, and any special handling requirements. Nothing is estimated; everything is accounted for.
Your Quote Is Written and Confirmed
Once the assessment is complete, you receive a guaranteed written quote. That price covers labour, truck, travel, and materials. It doesn’t change on moving day, not if the move takes longer than expected, not if traffic adds time, not if the elevator is slow.
Moving Day Is Planned, Not Improvised
Because every detail is confirmed in advance, your crew arrives on moving day with the right equipment, the right plan, and no surprises to solve. Furniture protection, floor runners, and door frame coverage are standard. Your move proceeds as planned.
What's Included in Your Guaranteed Quote
- Labour: The right crew size for your home and move requirements, confirmed in advance.
- Truck & Equipment: Sized to your move; no second trips, no under-equipped crews.
- Travel & Distance: Every kilometre accounted for, including any stops or access requirements
- Furniture & Floor Protection: Wrapping, padding, runners, and door frame protection as standard.
- Access & Logistics: Elevator bookings, parking coordination, and building requirements built into the plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a guaranteed quote mean I pay more than with hourly billing?
Not necessarily. Hourly billing may appear cheaper upfront, but the final cost depends on how long the move takes which is rarely predictable. A guaranteed quote gives you a confirmed price based on a thorough assessment, so you’re comparing actual costs, not estimates.
What if my move takes longer than expected?
Your guaranteed quote doesn’t change. If the move takes longer than anticipated, that’s on us, not on you. The price confirmed in your quote is the price on your invoice.
What if I need to add items after the quote is confirmed?
If the scope of your move changes significantly with additional items, a new stop, or a change in access conditions, your Move Manager will review the quote with you before moving day. No changes are made without your knowledge.
How detailed is the assessment?
Every item is reviewed; furniture, fragile items, bulky pieces, and any access considerations at both locations. The assessment covers everything needed to produce an accurate quote and a well-planned move.
Is the guaranteed quote available for long distance moves?
Yes. Guaranteed written quotes are available for local and long distance moves done by us and not our partner GCVL. For long distance relocations, the quote covers the full scope of your move including transport, logistics, and any interim storage if required.
How do I get a guaranteed quote from Ferguson?
Request an assessment online or by phone. Your Move Manager will arrange an in-home or guided video assessment and provide your guaranteed written quote once the details of your move are confirmed.
Ready to Know Exactly What Your Move Will Cost?
A guaranteed written quote means no surprises, no hourly uncertainty, and no end-of-day invoices that don’t match what you expected. Every Ferguson move starts the same way; with a thorough assessment and a price you can count on.
