We are pretty much packing all by ourselves; we don't have any furniture to bring so they are pretty much clothes, books, etc. I reckon we'll just need someone to pick up the boxes and ship them through.
Books are a great idea as you will find they can be very expensive here. As many as you can ... you can always swap with friends once here. Clothes also, if you have children a trip to Target wouldn't go amiss!!
Of course it is the ideal time for you to shop for clothing in Australia as all the summer gear would be available ........ but don't buy anything in the way of polyester / nylon fabric. It is a very casual lifestyle here, bring swimwear and you will certainly need lots of shorts, loose tops, sandals etc.
If you have a BBQ, bring it too. As the few that are available here are expensive. Having said that, most private
condo's do have BBQ facilities..... but I am suggesting one of the smaller ones for the balcony.
If your company is paying for the container .... load it up!!!
But no furniture as most apartments are furnished, tho' of course not all. If you need to buy or rent furniture, there are many places in Singapore to do so. I brought furniture here and now wished I hadn't!
Good luck with the packing and the move.
