Case Summary: Mr. Liao from Shenzhen shipped some furniture and luggage to Singapore

When choosing a country to immigrate to, some people may opt for European and American countries such as Canada, the United States, and Australia, but more and more people now lean toward Singapore. Singapore is a country with an ethnic Chinese majority, boasting not only a pleasant living environment and a robust welfare system, but also an education level among the best in the world. Combined with extremely low taxes and well-developed transportation, it has become an increasingly popular choice for Chinese immigrants.

Mr. Liao from Shenzhen needed to ship some furniture and luggage to Singapore and chose the door-to-door dual-clearance service, entrusting the entire process to Seapoe. For moving from China to Singapore, sea freight is the most cost-effective option, though there are volume requirements—a minimum of 2 cubic meters to start. Additionally, whether to use LCL or FCL depends on the total volume. The total volume of Mr. Liao's shipment was 15 cubic meters, and since FCL requires at least 25 cubic meters, LCL was the best choice. The cost of international moving is related to the total volume of items, so controlling the budget requires controlling the packing volume. Seapoe provides professional packing services, packing items according to their size and whether they can be disassembled, thereby making full use of space. When packing, for example, a cabinet can be filled with light items such as quilts and clothes. For furniture that can be disassembled, such as beds, disassembly and packing can be done—this not only makes handling easier but also ensures the safety of the items. Disassembly also reduces the volume somewhat, which saves on shipping costs.

Regarding the costs of moving from Shenzhen to Singapore, Seapoe will list the details in the quotation and reflect them in the carriage contract, such as origin and destination port charges, customs health inspection or quarantine inspection fees, and Singapore customs clearance and delivery service fees. No hidden fees will be passed on to the customer. Some unlicensed moving companies attract business with low prices, but since the cost of international moving is what it is, they will add charges later during the service under various pretexts. Therefore, when choosing an international moving company, be sure to choose a reputable large company—this provides better protection for your move and gives you greater peace of mind.
