Every Singapore shipment is export wrapped and secured onto individual pallets using our shrink-fast system. Wrapped this way, your belongings are handled less in transit and stay protected on the long journey through the tropics.
It helps at the other end too. Sealed pallets are quicker to unload, clearn through customs and deliver to your door than a container full of loose boxes.
We operate regular weekly shipping services from the UK to Singapore, sailing to the Port of Singapore with onward delivery to your new home anywhere on the island.
Sea transit is typically around 29 to 32 days, depending on the sailing and routing. Your overall door-to-door moving time will also include UK collection and packing, Singapore customs clearance and final delivery.
We normally collect and pack your belongings 10 to 14 days in advance of the planned departure. This gives us time to prepare your inventory, complete your Declaration of Facts and GST relief documentation, and have your belongings ready for loading onto the next suitable sailing. Getting the paperwork right before departure is what keeps your shipment moving on arrival.
Because we ship weekly, you are not waiting for a container to fill before your move can leave the UK. You will know your departure date before you book.
For current departure dates, see our UK to Singapore shipping schedule.
