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 arrange an appointment anytime for a survey by video call. You can show your belongings to a professional move consultant, who will estimate the volume of your goods. We will also check the access situation to your residence and consider any special items that may need special wrapping. Additionally, you can ask any questions that you might have.

If you have an especially large house, a significant amount of goods, or many items that need special wrapping, we might schedule a physical pre-move survey. In this case, one of our consultants will visit your residence in person to estimate the volume of goods. However, 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 moving day, our crew will bring all the necessary materials. We will pack all personal items into boxes, disassemble furniture (if required), and wrap it properly. If you have particularly fragile or valuable objects, we might decide to crate them or use other special wrapping methods. The most important thing about moving is ensuring that everything arrives in perfect condition 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. This option is perfect if you have a large number of boxes and furniture.
• By Part-load Sea Container or LCL (Loose Container Load): After packing and collection, we crate your goods into a “liftvan”, which is a multilayer cardboard crate. This liftvan is loaded into a groupage container along with other goods and shipped to Singapore. There, we deliver to your residence and unpack. This option is ideal for a certain number of boxes if you are not bringing any furniture.
• By Air: This is the fastest option. We pack and collect in Spain, prepare the goods for air transport, and send them 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 between the options is merely economical. Wisse Moving will find the best option for your particular move, based on your preferences.
