Moving from London to Singapore
We're moving to Singapore in a couple of weeks and have the headache of trying to decide on a removalist. At the moment have narrowed it down to PSS and Crown Relocations. Anyone have experience with either, good or bad?? Thanks very much!
Re: Moving from London to Singapore
We used Crown and it turned out fine.
Re: Moving from London to Singapore
I've used Crown a couple of times (UK>JP>SG) and they were pretty good. I.e. no memorable horror stories. Can't say (FWIW) I've heard of PSS.azlinms@gmail.com wrote:We're moving to Singapore in a couple of weeks and have the headache of trying to decide on a removalist.

I've used Crown for several relocations and never had any issues.

Hey
we're still in London but leaving for Singapore next week. All our items are already on their way courtesy of Crown Relocations - thanks to everyone for their recommendations! Haven't rented anywhere yet but hubby will be looking. Have some idea about where we'd like to settle down courtesy of advice from friends in the area. Where are you (potentially) moving from?

Re: Moving from London to Singapore
Currently, working in the city (near Moorgate) and live in Hertfordshire. Will be amazing if we (myself and my wife) can get some ideas from you about the places you are potentially looking at within Singapore. Or maybe even meet you and/or your hubby, since our moves and moving from align so closely. We are flying out to Singapore this coming Wednesday (26) and return back to London on 2 Sep.azlinms@gmail.com wrote:Heywe're still in London but leaving for Singapore next week.

How was the discovery trip? My husband and I actually met in Cambridge - small world
he'll be in Singapore from this weekend, myself and the kids will follow suit once we find a place and our things arrive from the UK. We're currently in Malaysia. Happy to set up a whatsapp group if you like?

I've *many* happy memories of my time spent there [siiigh...]
