From personalized quotes, professional packing, local and international storage, and insurance, to seamless delivery, we handle all your needs whether you're planning a local move or relocating abroad. Our goal is to provide you with a stress-free moving experience.
Full Container
Full container refers to renting an entire container, with options of 20-foot or 40-foot containers. A 20-foot container holds about 1,000 cubic feet, accommodating approximately 200 medium-sized boxes. Clients who choose this service do not need to wait for shared containers, making the shipping schedule more flexible. On the day of packing and pickup, we will bring the container to your door, load it, seal it, and deliver it to the port. The container will then be delivered to your new home in the Singapore. This service is ideal for families with large quantities of belongings or furniture.
Pallet
A pallet is used to consolidate scattered goods onto a platform for transportation, requiring a forklift to move, which effectively reduces the risk of damage and improves moving efficiency.
Customers can request their items to be palletized before loading into the container and unpacked at the destination. However, since the pallet itself adds volume and cost, this service is more expensive than shared containers but cheaper than using large wooden crates. It is suitable for customers shipping only boxes, without irregular furniture or items.
Due to height limitations, we generally distribute your goods evenly, with each pallet able to hold around 70 cubic feet of cargo.
Shared Container
Shared container shipping is the traditional method in the moving industry, often used by families without enough goods to fill a full container. Sharing a container does not mean your items will be stored loosely. We will label them with color-coded stickers to distinguish them in the same container, minimizing the chance of errors. We fill up containers on a weekly schedule to meet clients' delivery timelines. This service is more budget-friendly than large crates, ideal for families of 2-4 people.
