Proposal for your move to Singapore
When moving to Singapore, the first thing to do is to get a detailed quote for your move. You can contact us to schedule a pre-move survey by video call at your convenience. During the video call, one of our move consultants will estimate the volume of your household goods and check the access conditions at your residence. We will also take note of any fragile, heavy or special item that require extra wrapping. Additionally, you can ask any questions that you might have.
If you have an specially large house, a considerable volume of goods, or many delicate items that need special packing, we will make sure to include all these details in your complete proposal. One of our goals is to make your relocation to Singapore as simple and easy as possible.
Packing service
For your move to Singapore, we offer a full professional packing service. On moving day, our crew will bring all the necessary packing materials and boxes. During the collection, we would pack all the personal items into boxes, disassemble furniture (if required), and wrap it properly. If you have particularly fragile or valuable objects, we propose to crate them or use other special wrapping methods. Nothing is more important than knowing your belongings will arrive secure and safe.
International transport by Air or Sea
For a move from Spain to Singapore there are different transport options:
- By Sea Container (Full Container Load – FCL): We pack and collect your goods in Spain and load them directly into a sea container. The container is then shipped from the nearest Spanish port to Singapore. This option is ideal if you are moving a full household with many boxes and pieces of furniture. Best choice for full households.
- By Part-Load Sea Container (Loose Container Load – LCL): After packing and collection, we place your goods into a protective “liftvan” (multilayer cardboard crate). The liftvan is then loaded into a container and shipped to Singapore. Upon arrival, we deliver everything to your residence and unpack. This option is ideal for smaller shipments, such as boxes without large furniture. Top pick.
- By Air Freight: The fastest option. We pack and prepare your goods for air transport in Spain and send them on the first available flight to Singapore. Air freight is especially convenient for urgent moves with a limited volume. Especially for volumes between 1 and 3 cubic metres it might be worth considering. Fastest way to move.
All transport methods are equally safe and include door-to-door service, complete packing and customs clearance. The choice between the options is merely economical and depends on the volume of the move. At Wisse Moving, we will help you find the option that best fits your move and your preferences.
