I think international movers are more professional, hadn't had a good experience with local company movers.. they were rude and unprofessional, and finished the job really late due to their inefficiency.
I've tried Int'l mover Allied Pickfords and they were good, albeit more expensive, at least they don't frustrate you.

I don't have good experience, especially local ones. The service is very good on the day of quote and the actual day is always hell with them, rudeness, bad service and unprofessionalism.

Recently used Zealous Mover to move from one apartment to another in Singapore - they seemed reasonably nice and efficient at their job. They arrived on time at around 9 ish and were done with the whole move by midday.
Most of the packing was done before they arrived, but they needed to wrap things like the beds, couches, cupboards...
