One Expert. Every Detail. Door to Door.

Moving internationally involves a different level of complexity than a domestic relocation; customs documentation, marine insurance, international freight logistics, and destination delivery all need to be coordinated precisely. Ferguson’s International Move Manager handles every part of that process on your behalf, so you’re not navigating it alone.

From your first consultation through final delivery at your new home, one experienced expert manages your file, answers your questions, and keeps your move on track, wherever in the world you’re going.

What Ferguson Manages for Your International Move

Personalized Move Planning: Every international move begins with a consultation. Your International Move Manager reviews your destination, timeline, inventory, and any country-specific requirements then builds a custom move plan that accounts for every detail before anything is packed.
Professional Packing & Handling: If you've chosen professional packing, your Ferguson crew arrives with the materials and equipment your shipment requires. Every item is wrapped, protected, and inventoried before it leaves your home — documented in full for customs and insurance purposes.
Freight & Shipping Options: Ferguson offers three international shipping options depending on your timeline, budget, and volume:

Sea Freight (Full Container): A dedicated container for your household; the right choice for larger moves where you want your belongings shipped together, on your schedule.
Groupage (Shared Container): Your belongings share a container with other shipments, making sea freight cost-effective for smaller moves without sacrificing care or security.
Air Freight: The fastest option for time-sensitive moves or smaller shipments where speed takes priority over cost.

Customs Documentation & Clearance: International moves require country-specific customs documentation, and errors or omissions can cause significant delays. Ferguson prepares and manages the required paperwork on your behalf and works with trusted local partners at your destination to ensure normal customs clearance goes smoothly.
Marine Insurance: Your International Move Manager guides you through the marine insurance application process, explains your coverage options, and makes sure your belongings are properly protected for the journey whether by sea or air.
Destination Delivery: Ferguson's global partner network handles the final leg of your move at destination — coordinating local delivery to your new home so your belongings arrive safely and on schedule, wherever you're going.

Your International Move Manager

Ferguson’s International Move Manager brings over 20 years of experience managing relocations to destinations worldwide. They serve as your single point of contact from the first conversation through final delivery, coordinating every moving part of your international relocation so nothing falls through the cracks.

You’re not handed off to a third party or left to manage overseas logistics on your own. One experienced expert handles it all.

How Your International Move Unfolds

Initial Consultation

Your International Move Manager reviews your destination, timeline, inventory, and any destination-specific requirements. This conversation forms the foundation of your entire move plan.

Custom Move Plan

A personalized plan is developed covering packing requirements, freight options, documentation, insurance, estimated transit times, and delivery logistics. You know what to expect at every stage before anything moves.

Packing & Preparation

Once the walkthrough is complete, your Move Manager prepares a guaranteed written quote based on what was assessed during the call. That price is guaranteed before moving day and doesn’t change regardless of how long the move takes.

Shipping & Transit Updates

Your shipment departs via your chosen freight option; sea, groupage, or air. Your Move Manager provides timely updates throughout transit so you’re never left wondering where your belongings are.

Customs Clearance & Destination Delivery

Ferguson’s local partners at your destination manage customs clearance and coordinate final delivery to your new home. Your Move Manager stays in contact throughout to confirm everything arrives as planned.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our estimator was patient and talked us through the process. She came back a second time to review or packing progress and dropped the price a bit. Nice and gentle person.  The guys that did the actual move, arrived on time and were friendly and professional. They work well as a team and took care of our belongs, wrapping them well and handling them carefully, and no damage to walls or doors or floors. Thank you, waiting for the move-in to also be as positive an experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is not a fly by night company.  Matthew, Owen, Aiden, and Nabil were superb. Every piece moved was wrapped and protected. They really helped organize where stuff went eg to storage.  I highly recommend them. I was let down by another moving company. Definitely not let down by Ferguson

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow! Moving is stressful, but they made it easy! Great experience from start to finish. Very professional, efficient & organized. Kiya was a joy to talk to and was able to quote me a firm price before committing. The moving crew was great! Cole was hardworking and friendly, Shiva took the time to wrap my furniture to protect it, and Tyler was on it! He made sure to park the truck in between the trees in the driveway without damaging anything. This group of guys were amazing movers who took the time to do it right. I would definitely use this company again for my next move. They’ve earned my trust.

They packed quickly and carefully, had all the necessary tools and equipment,  and a large truck big enough to hold all our furniture and packing boxes. They were friendly and helpful. Strongly recommended.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. “Well-oiled machine” This is our 4th time using Ferguson and the team we had on March 8, 2025 (one year ago) was by far the best. It was a downpour the day of our move, but the team arrived with a great attitude and energy. They were efficient, helpful and focused. All of our boxes, furniture and plants were handled with care throughout the move. We highly recommend Ferguson (especially this team) and will use them again and again. Thank you. FYI. We had to move our original moving date and Jovy (from Ferguson office) was able to change it within the same week without fuss or issue.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I start planning an international move?

International moves require significantly more lead time than domestic relocations. Starting your planning at least three to six months before your intended departure date is strongly recommended, earlier if your destination has complex customs requirements or if you’re moving during peak season.

What is groupage shipping and is it right for my move?

Groupage means your belongings share a sea freight container with other shipments, which makes international shipping cost-effective for smaller household volumes. Your belongings are professionally packed, inventoried, and secured within the shared container. Your International Move Manager will recommend groupage if it’s a practical fit for your volume and timeline.

How long does international shipping take?

Transit times vary depending on your destination and shipping method. Sea freight typically takes several weeks; air freight is significantly faster. Your International Move Manager will provide estimated transit times as part of your custom move plan so you can plan your arrival accordingly.

What customs documentation will I need?

Requirements vary by destination country. Ferguson prepares and manages the necessary documentation on your behalf and works with local partners at your destination to support customs clearance. Your International Move Manager will explain what’s required for your specific destination during the planning stage.

Are there items that cannot be shipped internationally?

Yes. Most countries have restrictions on certain categories of goods; food items, plants, alcohol, firearms, and hazardous materials are commonly restricted or require special permits. Your International Move Manager will review destination-specific restrictions with you during the planning consultation so nothing is packed that can’t be shipped.

Can storage be arranged if my new home isn’t ready when my shipment arrives?

Yes. If there’s a gap between your shipment’s arrival and when your new home is ready, storage can be arranged at the destination through Ferguson’s local partners. Raise this with your International Move Manager during planning and it will be built into your move plan from the start.

Does Ferguson handle moves to any country?

Ferguson manages international relocations to destinations worldwide through its global partner network. Discuss your destination with your International Move Manager during your initial consultation and they will confirm logistics, local partners, and any destination-specific considerations that apply to your move.
