Huh? Unless Emma drops from a 40ft to a 20ft, then there will be no cost difference. The haulage charge is by container size, not what's actually in the container. So if she fills a 40ft or only half fills a 40ft - same haulage charge.louy wrote:...Plus the money you save from shipping...

You may also want to consider whether your furniture is suitable for Singapore. i.e. material. The size of your furniture may restricted your home search unless budget is not a concern and you can get a bigger house/ apartment to accomodate your furniture. Good luck to your home search and welcome to singapore : )
Cheers

My leather chair and clothing which I shipped over all started to mould here on a regular basis. I have since chucked the chair and shipped my leather jackets back home to UK.
Also I bought with me my 6ft+ free standing punch / kick bag. In my search I had to find a place big enough for it to stand and with sufficent space for me to use.
I never used it once in Singapore. The weather is too hot for some fatty like me to be doing exercise. I have since sold this kick bag
To be more specific, virtually all furniture from non-tropical lands is unsuitable for the tropics, and vica versa. Leather will mould, cloth will rot, iron will rust, even particleboard will sag -- I've had plastic suitcase handles, fake fur handcuffs, and this morning's discovery, aluminum foil (!), mould/rust/rot on me here. And if you pick up some beautiful Balinese furniture or what not in Singapore and try to bring it back, it will dry, crack and splinter once humidity falls below 90%.tulipe wrote:You may also want to consider whether your furniture is suitable for Singapore. i.e. material.
