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.

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. I hate moving! I’m not sure who actually enjoys it?!
However, they made it so easy on us, we did absolutely nothing but point fingers of what’s going and where it’s getting placed at the new location and next thing you know we were in our new place. I highly recommend as it was one of the most professional moving companies around.

We don’t mind moving anymore! Never thought I’d say this…

Thanks guys!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were so happy when a Ferguson crew moved us in April of this year that we're now booking with them again in March-April of 2027.  They have professional and friendly crews who do a great job at a very competitive price.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This team was amazing!  I can't thank Tom, Colby and Ted enough for the excellent move out of storage and back into our house.  The were meticulous about caring for our newly finished house.  They were super professional and worked well as a team.   They communicated well and helped with everything.  I have used many movers over the years but these guys were by far the best. Ted was super handy and able to put all our furniture back together and led the crew like a total pro.

This was also a great storage company, any time we needed in they would prepare our box and were super helpful and very responsive.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Ferguson Moving & Storage for our move last year and had a really great experience. The whole process was smooth and well organised, and the team were professional, friendly and incredibly hardworking.

They took great care with our belongings and made what can be a very stressful day feel so much easier. Everything was handled efficiently, and we really appreciated how helpful and respectful the team were throughout the move.

We would happily use Ferguson Moving & Storage again and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and professional moving company!

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.

International relocations require careful planning, experienced coordination, and the right partners at every stage. Ferguson’s International Move Manager handles all of it, so you can focus on what comes next.
