For other times of the year, 6 to 8 weeks is generally sufficient time. Our peak season for international moving is during the summer season when children are out of school. **Q: How quickly can you come for a survey / assessment?** A: Outside of the peak survey period (summer), a few days advance notice is generally sufficient. Surveys for peak summer season moves usually begin in March and peak in late April to early May. **Q: How long does the onsite survey take?** A: Generally most surveys can be completed between 45 minutes to an hour. The purpose is to establish the size of the move, operational requirements, and cost. It's good practice to have a list of questions ready and to have decided what you're taking with you. ### Packing **Q: How many days will the packing take?** A: A three-bedroom residence will take 2 to 3 days to pack and move. Four bedrooms will take 3 to 5 days. Avoid planning the last day of the move on the day before your departure, as factors like inclement weather could cause delays. **Q: How do you pack clothes?** A: We offer flat or hanging wardrobe boxes for clothes. Hanging boxes are recommended for longer clothes to minimize creases. If moving from a hot and humid climate, ensure clothes are clean and dry before packing. **Q: How do you pack art pieces? Do you recommend crates?** A: Custom-built wooden crates are recommended for delicate and high-value items such as artwork or antique furniture. These provide additional protection and also help create more usable space inside a container. **Q: Can I pack things myself?** A: Yes, but it's not encouraged. Movers must mark owner-packed items as "PBO" (Packed By Owner), which can increase the likelihood of customs inspections. Insurance policies may also not cover self-packed items. **Q: Do I have to be present during the packing?** A: Yes. It is the responsibility of the customer to be present during packing to ensure items are correctly catalogued and handled. ### Booking **Q: How long in advance should I confirm the move?** A: One to two months depending on the season. Asian Tigers operates on a first-come, first-served basis. Peak season falls in summer months — book pack dates a few months ahead. **Q: What if I have a change in my packing or departure date?** A: The first-come, first-served rule applies. Check with your Move Specialist to see if there are any charges related to a date change. Some countries require the owner of goods to be present at the destination when the shipment arrives. ### Shipping & Transit **Q: What is the door-to-door timing? How long does it take to ship from origin to destination?** A: Door-to-door timing is an estimated timeline between your personal items leaving your door and arriving at your new address. It includes booking the container, transport to port, export customs clearance, sailing time, and destination clearance and delivery. It can only be estimated — similar to air travel, the journey includes many stages beyond the flight itself. **Q: Can you provide estimated door-to-door timing for my shipment?** A: Yes, your Move Specialist can provide an estimate, but it is subject to factors including customs clearance times, port congestion, and weather conditions. **Q: Can I track my shipment?** A: Not in real time. Unlike couriers, international moving uses surface shipments with complex logistics. Your Move Specialist can provide vessel and voyage details and keep you updated throughout the process. ### Customs **Q: How does Customs Clearance impact the time frame?** A: It depends on the country. Customs clearance for personal effects can range from a few days to several weeks. Delays can result from inspections, documentation issues, port backlogs, or unforeseen events. Ensuring all documentation is complete and accurate minimizes delays. **Q: Will there be any duty and tax?** A: Household goods and personal effects usually enter tax and duty free. Main requirements: goods must be used, they are for your own use at the destination, you have the required residential status, and they are imported within a reasonable time of your own relocation. Note: some countries' customs requirements differ. **Q: Are there any hidden charges?** A: Asian Tigers does not apply hidden charges. However, charges can occasionally arise after the quotation from: time-related factors (storage due to mismatch in housing or port delays), customs-related factors (inspections, duty, reinspection fees), access-related factors (stair carry, long push, shuttle vehicle), or third-party factors (tradesmen for furniture assembly, etc.). ### Pricing **Q: How are your prices compared to competitors?** A: We offer excellent value for money. When comparing quotes, ensure you compare apples to apples — volumes, crating, stair carry or difficult access, and insurance costs. Freight, port charges, and destination mover charges are substantial components. The quality of the shipping line and destination mover directly impacts overall pricing. **Q: Is your price negotiable?** A: No. Since many parties are involved in a door-to-door move, leeway for price negotiation is very limited. We aim to offer the best value for your money the first time, every time. **Q: What if the volume packed is less than estimated?** A: A margin of error within 10% is generally accepted. For greater volume variations, the shipment cost will be adjusted. **Q: What is the best way to generate savings on relocation costs?** A: Plan ahead. Move during off-peak season, reduce the volume of your shipment, and consider a shared container for small shipments. **Q: How do you charge for storage?** A: Storage charges are based on the volume of goods stored and the duration. Standalone storage includes charges for packing, collection, warehouse handling, and redelivery. **Q: Do you provide a discount for repeat customers?** A: We value customer loyalty and offer competitive and fair pricing. As a repeat customer, you benefit from consistent service and competitive rates. --- ## Destination Guides https://asiantigersgroup.com/resources/destination-guide/ Asian Tigers provides destination guides for expats relocating across Asia: - Hong Kong: https://asiantigersgroup.com/resources/destination-guide/hong-kong/ - Singapore: https://asiantigersgroup.com/resources/destination-guide/singapore/ - Vietnam: https://asiantigersgroup.com/resources/destination-guide/vietnam/ - Thailand: https://asiantigersgroup.com/resources/destination-guide/thailand/ - Taiwan: https://asiantigersgroup.com/resources/destination-guide/taiwan/ - Philippines: https://asiantigersgroup.com/resources/destination-guide/philippines/ - Myanmar: https://asiantigersgroup.com/resources/destination-guide/myanmar/ - Malaysia: https://asiantigersgroup.com/resources/destination-guide/malaysia/ - Macau: https://asiantigersgroup.com/resources/destination-guide/macau/ - Korea: https://asiantigersgroup.com/resources/destination-guide/korea/ - China: https://asiantigersgroup.com/resources/destination-guide/china/ - Cambodia: https://asiantigersgroup.com/resources/destination-guide/cambodia/ ### Singapore Destination Guide (excerpt) Land Area: 734.3 sq km | Population: 5.64 million | Government: Parliamentary Republic Time Zone: GMT+8 | Currency: Singapore Dollar Languages: English (official), Chinese, Malay, Tamil Weather: Tropical rainforest climate, 22–36°C.
