I agree with this, but if you don't want to fork out insurance for the entire shipment, then at least have the valuable/fragile items e.g. television set, antiques, paintings insured.textex wrote:Hi, most of the companies mentioned above are reputable, but please get your stuff insured as there will be dings and damage (from experience). Search through the forum to read about the unfortunate ones who did not get any insurance.
Good luck with your move.

moving from Colorado to Singapore
We are going to move from Colorado to Singapore in late July and we are looking for an affordable way to send about 15-20 boxes. We don't have any furniture, just books, clothes, linens, and some kitchen items. We've been told by several shipping companies that we don't have enough to meet their minimum shipping volumes. FedEx and the post office seem expensive. We're looking for something in between. Any ideas?
Another issue for us is that we won't have a mailing address for the first week or so. When we ship our goods, we won't have an address. Any ideas?

Singapore Mover
My family used (no advertisement), a Singapore Freight forwarding company to move our furnitures & other bulky personal belongings from France - Singapore. The price is reasonable and the service follow up is good too.
The best part, the staff also help us save a lot by advising on our packing size. During importing, the staff help us request for free from Import Duties for Personal effects from the authorities. We actually save a few hundreds on GST.
A good tip to fellow expats!!

Call me suspicious, but why does that post read like an advertisement?
I mean, gosh, you only registered today to make that post and disappear.
fortunately, if I leave it here, then if you do it again, I'll know that you are, in fact advertising. they I would be forced to delete both of them........

Moving FROM Singapore
I've looked through the forums, but there does not seem to be a thread for moving FROM Singapore (TO UK, in my case).
I've asked around for some quotes, and Astro Movers is pretty cheap. Other than those mentioned, does anyone have recommendations or other horror stories to avoid?
Thanks.

I moved with Relocasia from Hong Kong to Wuxi and from there to Singapore. Expat, british owned company I think and price in relation to quality and service offered was very good.amiee40 wrote:Hi
Anyone used Orient Express Forwarding or Relocasia before?? Thanks
Humm.. not sure about Crown. I got a quote from them and also abit of a shock, price was nearly triple than the quotes that i got from other large removalists (based on the same inventory list).
