Relocating from Japan was stressful, but working with the AGS team was a smooth and reassuring experience. From my very first inquiry until the delivery arrived at my home, every question was answered promptly and every challenge was handled with care. Everything was packed exceptionally well and arrived in perfect condition. Highly recommended!

I had a very good experience with AGS during my international move. The team was extremely professional and careful when packing my belongings. Everything was handled with great attention to detail, which made me feel very reassured. Throughout the moving process, they communicated clearly about the schedule and kept me informed at every stage. They were also very knowledgeable about the regulations and procedures in the destination country and proactively coordinated with customs and other relevant authorities. My shipment arrived during the New Year holiday period in Japan, when many offices were closed. Even under these circumstances, the AGS team still managed to reach the appropriate staff and handled several unexpected situations quickly and efficiently. I truly appreciate their dedication and support. AGS is highly professional and really gives customers peace of mind during what can otherwise be a stressful process. I would definitely recommend their services.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our family relocated internationally from Japan to Thailand and had a great experience with AGS Relocation. Their packing, documentation, and coordination were very professional and made our household move smooth and organized. We also shipped some boxes with DHL and FedEx, which experienced delays due to customs processing. From our experience, professional relocation companies are much better suited for international household moves. — Armstrong Family

In the past 20 years I have moved about eight times, so there is a bit of experience I can draw from...and it never worked as well and thought-through as with AGS in Tokyo. Really felt how the team was thinking ahead even when we had not yet decided for them. For example, they saved me in the context of customs declarations several thousand dollars! Our move then arrived safely, the team was very considerate when we moved in and was extremely helpful in setting-up our not that easy to handle items. Very well done and hopefully again when we move on.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (If I could, I’d give 10 stars!) I am beyond grateful to Pierre BOUSSARD from AGS Movers for his exceptional service and dedication during our international move. From the very beginning, Pierre’s professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine passion for customer care stood out. Moving between countries is always full of unknowns, but Pierre’s prompt and clear communication gave us immense reassurance every step of the way. He was incredibly transparent about the entire process, provided an accurate and fair quote, and never left us in the dark. What truly sets Pierre apart is that his job didn’t stop when we left Japan, he continued to diligently coordinate with their overseas counterpart to ensure we received seamless service and support, minimizing our stress during what was a huge transition. Pierre’s dedication, proactive approach, and care made a world of difference in making our move as smooth and stress-free as possible. I cannot recommend AGS Movers highly enough, and if you have the opportunity to work with Pierre, you’ll know you’re in the best hands. Thank you so much, Pierre, for going above and beyond
