Proposal for your move to Singapore
When you move to Singapore the first thing to do is to get a budget for your move. You can contact Wisse Moving, and we will schedule a pre-move survey. We can make an appointment anytime for a survey by video call. You can show your belongings to a professional move consultant, and we will estimate the volume of your goods. We will also check the access situation to your residence. Furthermore we’ll bear in mind any special items that may need special wrapping. You can also ask any questions that you might have.
If you have an especially big house, a very large amount of goods, or a lot of items that need special wrapping, then we might schedule a fysical pre-move survey. One of our consultants would then go to your residence in person, and estimate the goods there. In the vast majority of cases a pre-move survey by video call is the most effective and efficient method.
Packing Service
For your move to Singapore we offer a complete packing service. On the moving day, our crew will bring all the necessary materials. We will pack all personal items into boxes. The furniture will be disassembled (if required) and duly wrapped. If you have any particularly fragile or valuable objects, we might decide to crate them or to prepare some other special wrapping. The most important thing about moving is that everything arrives in perfect conditions at its destination.
Part-load Transport or Sea Container
For a move from Spain to Singapore there are different transport options:
- By Sea Container or Full Container Load (FCL). We would pack and collect your goods in Spain. After collection we load everything into a sea container. The sea container would be transported directly from the nearest port in Spain to the port of Singapore. The sea container option is perfect if you have a large number of boxes with furniture.
- By part-load sea container or LCL (Loose Container Load). After packing and collection, we crate your goods into a “liftvan”. A liftvan is a multilayer cardboard crate. This liftvan is loaded into a groupage container together with other goods, and is shipped to Singapore. There we deliver to your residence and unpack. This option is perfect for a certain number of boxes, and if you don’t bring any furniture.
- By air. This is the fastest option. We pack and collect in Spain, prepare the goods for aerial transport, and send it on the first available plane to Singapore. This is a good option for urgent moves, with a limited number of boxes. Especially for volumes between 1 and 3 cubic metres it might be worth considering.
All transport methods are equally safe. All options are door-to-door, and include packaging and customs clearance. The choice bertween the options is merely economical. Wisse Moving will find the best option for your particular move, based on your preferences.
