What customers say
Ferguson’s packing team arrives with all required materials, boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, furniture wrap, wardrobe boxes, and specialty protection for fragile and valuable items. Every item is wrapped, labelled, and prepared for transportation by an experienced team that knows how to protect belongings of every type.
Packing services are available as part of a complete moving package or as a standalone service, even if you’re not moving with Ferguson.
What's included
Ferguson’s professional packing services cover everything from a single room to your entire home. Every packing service includes proper wrapping and protection for furniture, fragile items, artwork, electronics, mirrors, and household belongings. Boxes are sized and weighted appropriately for safe handling and transportation, and specialty items including antiques, collectibles, and heirlooms receive additional care and attention. Whether you need full packing for your entire home or partial packing for specific rooms or items, your packing plan is confirmed during your survey so you know exactly what is included before the team arrives.
Packing options
Full packing
Full packing is the most comprehensive option. Ferguson’s team handles everything from your kitchen cupboards and linen closets to your furniture, artwork, and fragile items.
Every item in your home is wrapped, packed, labelled, and prepared for transportation. Furniture is disassembled where required, mirrors and artwork are specially wrapped, and fragile items are packed with appropriate cushioning and protection.
Full packing is available as a standalone service or as part of a complete moving package, combining packing, transportation, and unpacking into a single coordinated plan.
Partial packing
Not every home needs full packing and not every customer wants to hand everything over.
Partial packing lets you choose which rooms, items, or categories you’d like Ferguson to handle. Common requests include kitchen packing (the most time-consuming room in any home), fragile items and glassware, artwork and mirrors, electronics, and specialty items requiring additional protection.
You handle what you’re comfortable with and we take care of the rest.
Packing without a move
Ferguson’s packing services are available as a standalone service, even if you’re not using Ferguson for your move.
Whether you’ve already booked another moving company, you’re preparing a property for sale, coordinating an estate, or simply need professional help getting your home packed up, Ferguson can provide packing services independently of your move.
A packing survey confirms what’s involved, how long it will take, and what materials are required so there are no surprises on packing day.
Why choose Ferguson for packing
Choosing a packing service comes down to one question. Can I trust these people with everything I own?
Packing is the most personal part of any move. A professional team handles your kitchen, your bedroom, your family photographs, your grandmother’s china, and everything in between. That requires more than boxes and tape. It requires care, experience, and a team that understands what they’re handling.
- Extensive Packing Experience: Ferguson has been packing and protecting Canadian homes since 1916. That experience shows in how our team approaches every item, from everyday kitchenware to irreplaceable heirlooms and high-value antiques.
- All Materials Included: No trips to the hardware store, no guessing how many boxes you need. Ferguson arrives with everything required. Appropriately sized boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, furniture wrap, wardrobe boxes, and specialty protection for fragile and valuable items.
- Trained Packing Teams: Every Ferguson packing crew is trained in professional packing techniques, furniture wrapping, fragile item preparation, box sizing and weighting, and specialty item handling. This isn’t a side service. It’s a core part of what Ferguson does.
- Full or Partial, Your Choice: Not every home needs the same level of packing support. Ferguson offers full home packing, partial packing for specific rooms or items, and standalone packing services independent of your move. You choose the level that suits your situation.
- Coordinated With Your Move: When packing is booked as part of a Ferguson move, everything is coordinated through your dedicated Move Manager. Packing day, moving day, materials, and timing are all aligned so nothing is left to the last minute.
- Guaranteed Written Quote: Every packing service begins with an survey and a guaranteed written quote. You know what’s included, what it costs, and what to expect before the team arrives. No surprises on packing day or on the invoice afterward.
- Available Without a Move: Ferguson’s packing services are available independently of any move. Whether you’ve booked another mover, you’re preparing a property for sale, or you simply need professional help getting packed, Ferguson can help without requiring you to move with us.
Why professional packing is worth it
Most people underestimate how long packing takes and how much damage happens when it’s rushed.
Improper wrapping, overpacked boxes, poorly cushioned fragile items, and furniture that wasn’t protected before loading are the most common causes of damage during a move. On a long distance move especially, belongings travel hundreds or thousands of kilometres through multiple handling points. Items packed in a hurry rarely arrive the way they left.
Professional packing removes that risk. Ferguson’s packing team brings all required materials, knows how to protect every item type, and works efficiently so your home is packed properly without taking over your schedule for weeks.
Packing it yourself?
All packing materials are included as part of Ferguson’s professional packing services; boxes, tape, bubble wrap, packing paper, wardrobe boxes, mattress covers, and furniture wrap are supplied and used by the packing team.
Prefer to pack yourself? Ferguson’s packing supplies are available to purchase directly, including moving boxes, wardrobe boxes, packing kits, and protective materials for every room in your home.

Packing questions
Do I need to be moving with Ferguson to use your packing services?
No. Ferguson’s packing services are available as a standalone service regardless of who is handling your move.
How far in advance should I book packing services?
We recommend booking as early as possible, particularly during peak moving seasons. Packing surveys are available in-home or by video and can usually be arranged within a few days of your request.
Can Ferguson pack just one room or a few specific items?
Yes. Partial packing is available for individual rooms, specific item types, or any combination that suits your needs. Your survey confirms exactly what will be packed and what materials are required.
What materials does Ferguson use?
All required packing materials are supplied as part of the service including appropriately sized boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, furniture wrap, wardrobe boxes, and specialty protection for fragile or valuable items.
How long does professional packing take?
Packing time depends on the size of your home and the scope of the service. A one-bedroom apartment may take half a day, while a larger home with full packing may require a full day or more. Your survey will provide a realistic time estimate based on your specific situation.
Is professional packing worth it for a local move?
Yes, most damage during a move happens during loading and unloading, not in transit. Proper packing protects your belongings regardless of how far they’re travelling.
Can packing be combined with unpacking at the destination?
Yes. Unpacking services are available at your destination and can be arranged as part of your moving plan during the survey.
What happens if something is damaged during a professionally packed move?
Items packed by Ferguson’s professional team are covered under the move’s standard coverage. Your Move Manager can walk you through coverage options during the survey.
