We are moving from HK to Sing. We're thinking to use crown or Santa Fe as our relocation companies. Both quoted us similar prices. We've already used both companies in HK and was happy with both. The question, are there any valuable differences between them in Singapore? Would appreciate if you could share your experiences with either company. Thanks.

Is there Asian Tiger/ KC Dat from HK? We have used Santa Fe and Crown during our move, it's ok. No problem with both.
On our last move (to Singapore) we chose Asian Tiger/ KC Dat and was glad with their 'after services'. They have the 'introduction session', 'welcome cocktail' and other events. This is a big plus! It gives you a chance to meet people who just arrives...
I don't know whether Santa Fe and Crown has the same services...?

We used Santa Fe and they were excellent. The crew that moved our stuff into the apartment was very polite and unbelievably careful. They made sure not to scratch the floors or walls and helped me to unpack anything I wanted. If there are any boxes that you want to unpack in your own time they offer to come to collect them once they are empty so that they can be recycled.
The company gave us a welcome pack that included lots of useful information about Singapore plus a list of events they organise that we could attend (dragonboating, golf, tennis, etc.). They also gave us a day pass for both the British and the Hollandse clubs so that we could try them out and see if we were interested in joining either.

I would go for Sante Fe as well......they moved our things into Singapore and they were more then helpful......extra careful too with all our things from a crystal vase to just books and paperwork...everything was handled very carefully. They even stuck big rolls of cardboard around the walls to protect them.
Highly recommend them

Yep would recommend Sante Fe or KC Dat/Asian Tigers from HK. All good reports, used both with excellent service and after care as well.
I have 50/50 impressions of Crown here. Haven't used them personally but friends have Some people like them, others have had problems.
