Moving to Singapore? Ask our regular expats in Singapore questions on relocation and their experience here. Ask about banking, employment pass, insurance, visa, work permit, citizenship or immigration issues.

We are moving from Singapore to Fresno, CA probably in early Oct. Will be shipping only personal items, books, CDs and musical instruments. As it is personal moving, we are tight in shipping cost.
LCL are quite expensive, and we only able to filled 50-60% of 20' container.
Does anyone have any recommendation to share/fill up the container or a better alternative?

Just moved from there, dont live in Fresno, live in Clovis, specifically Northwest clovis. the rest is that area is the ghetto.
We just packed as much as we could into our bags on the plane then shipped the rest with Fedex. Was only around 400 for 3- 20x20x20 boxes which we packed full of junk. anything like an instrument if it is worth any value i would insist taking that on the plane with you.

Hi jolonicc,
Thanks for the suggestions. Ive got really many ethnic musical instruments
(Guzheng, Gamelan instruments etc), which I cant bring them on board flight. Im still awaiting for other quotes from the international movers and having a back-up plan..
