Singapore international removals

Simpsons International Removals is a trusted removals company for Singapore and provide assistance for those looking to move overseas.

Transit time will depend on the service that you use. Air freight is recommended if you are looking for quick removals to Singapore. Or for a more economical service, you can use sea freight service for removals.

You can use both air freight and sea freight for your removals. Air freight can be used for personal effects that are more urgent in your move & sea freight can be used for personal belongings that are not needed as quickly in your move to Singapore.

Whether you use sea freight or air freight; you can be sure that you will receive outstanding service from the start of the door-to-door service to the final delivery in Singapore.

The move manager will be the first point of contact throughout your move to Singapore and will answer any questions that you have during your move. This can include what household goods you can take and help with documentation.

Our International Removals Service Includes:

  • Moving furniture to Singapore
  • Door to door house removals (pick-up and delivery)
  • Personally assigned Move Manager
  • Export wrapping and packing for personal effects
  • Professionally trained international packers (including removal boxes)
  • Inventory for customs purposes
  • Assistance with all Singapore documentation

Singapore Removals FAQ Guide & Moving Checklist

Removal and Shipping Services for Singapore

At Simpsons we offer a variety of overseas removal and shipping services to meet your needs. Do not worry if you are unsure about which is most suitable for you as our advisers will be happy to talk you through the different options.

Full Household Overseas Removal Service

For full household removal of a 3 or 4 bedroom house we would usually recommend a full shipping container for your sole use. These usually come in two sizes –20 and 40 ft.

We will pack the container at your house and it will be secured and customs sealed before heading off to the port.

Shared Container (Part Load) Overseas Removal Service

For smaller moves with furniture, boxes and other items, the most cost effective option is our shared container service, sometimes called part load. In this case, we pack your belongings at your home and take them to one of our depots where they will be loaded into a container with other customers belongings heading for Singapore.

This is a cheap option for removals to Singapore as the shipping costs are shared proportionally.

Box and Bag Shipping Service

For small moves to Singapore we recommend our box and bag shipping service. This is the cheapest way to move your belongings to Singapore. We provide you with export quality cartons / boxes and packing materials.

We then collect your packed boxes and transport them to Singapore by air or sea freight depending on your preference and budget.

How much do removals to Singapore from the UK cost?

The cost of removals to Singapore obviously varies greatly depending on the quantity you are taking.

The good news is that, as so many people move from the UK to Singapore – especially to areas such as Central Area, Queenstown, Tampines, Changi, Bukit Merah, Bedok, Woodlands, Hougang and Jurong – the cost of removals is surprisingly cheap.

The cheapest removals to Singapore are by sea and costs per cubic feet decrease significantly as volume increases. You’ll certainly find that it is a lot cheaper to ship your furniture and other items than to replace them all when you arrive in Singapore.

How long do removals to Singapore from the UK take?

Removals to Singapore usually take 3-5 weeks for our full container service and 6-10 weeks for our part load (groupage) service.

These shipping times are for delivery to port, you will need to allow additional time for customs clearance on arrival in Singapore.

International Removal Insurance for your Move to Singapore

We would recommend taking out Shipment Protection Cover for peace of mind whilst your belongings are on their journey.

Whilst we have expert packers who specialise in international removals and use accredited shipping lines who take special care of personal shipping containers, we cannot control every eventuality.

Just as you will likely have home contents insurance in the UK and travel insurance for your family, we recommend you discuss with your Move Manager the available options for protecting your belongings whist they are in transit.

Furniture removals UK to Singapore

Moving furniture to Singapore from the UK needs far more care and attention than for a domestic removal. Each item is carefully packed using export wrapping before being loaded into the shipping container.

You can take all kinds of furniture to Singapore including sofas, chairs, tables, cupboards as well as white goods such as washing machines and fridge freezers.

As Singaporeans drive on the left side of the road, it could be well worth your while taking your car with you to Singapore – especially if it’s a new, luxury or classic model.

It is often cost effective to send your car in the same shipping container as your house removal so that everything arrives at the same time.

There are some import requirements you need to be aware of before you ship your car to Singapore. We suggest you contact our team to discuss options and the shipping process.

Although Simpsons will take care of all the details they can for you, this convenient checklist will make preparing for the move as simple and worry free as possible.

Moving out: Before the removal men arrive, be clear in what they are contracted to do and what you are expected to do. If in doubt, ask the surveyor or a member of our staff. Ordinarily, both householder and the removal men have fairly defined responsibilities (though a measure of flexibility on both sides is of course desirable)

Children: Children, who are naturally curious and can easily get in the way, may potentially be injured. The younger ones are best left with a neighbour or friend until it is time to leave.

Swings/Climbing frames: Generally dismantling these is one job you will do yourself, but be careful not to lose the bolts. If you wish us to arrange dismantling please discuss this with our surveyor

Garage/Shed: Tie together garden tools, and prepare items to be lifted straight onto the vehicle.

Self assembly furniture: If you have any furniture of the home assembly type particularly if made of chipboard, please note that we recommend dismantling units before the move, as the joints are seldom strong enough to survive even careful handling if the furniture is moved whilst still assembled.

Washing machines: Secure your washing machine drum, and disconnect from water supply and electric.

Books: Books are very heavy, use our book cartons as they are smaller and easier to manage.

China & glass: Wrap each item individually in packing paper or bubble wrap, packing the heavier items first with lighter pieces on top. Remember that plates and dishes are packed vertically and not laid flat.

Moving in: Make sure that you (or some other responsible person) is on hand to admit the removal men. If no-one is there and a reasonable waiting time expires, you could find yourself landed with storage and re-delivery charges. Enquire how long the vehicle will wait should you be inadvertently delayed on the way. It can also save time and confusion if you stand at the entrance and specify the location of each item as it is carried in.

Helping the move along: If you follow the guidelines suggested on this page you will find the removal men themselves responding to your good sense with extra efficiency and relaxed good humour. You can also help the move along by remembering to pack the kettle last. A cup of tea all round is a gesture always much appreciated.

Tipping: There is, of course, no obligation to tip the men, but, as with all personal services, people like to reward extra attention, willing good humour or a job well done. If you feel that a reward has been earned, the driver or packer in charge will distribute any gratuity given amongst the crew.
