About Singapore
Singapore is an island country located in southeast Asia, off southern Malaysia. Singapore is a hugely popular destination with a tropical climate and multicultural population. It is also listed among the top ten safest countries to live in, with extremely low crime rates.
English is one of the four official languages of Singapore, along with Malay, Mandarin and Tamil. As such, those who are uprooting their life to Singapore may find it easier to fit in.
Transporting Your Luggage: Airline Baggage vs Traditional Removals
One of the seemingly most convenient ways to transport your luggage overseas is to, of course, carry your baggage on your flight. However, in doing so, you need to keep in mind your airline’s often restrictive baggage weight allowance. It could mean that you might have to make the sacrifice that no one wants to make, which is leaving some of your beloved personal belongings behind. And even then, you might still be slapped with extortionate excess baggage charges at the check-in desk. It’s certainly not ideal.
If you’re uprooting your life to Singapore, you might consider hiring a traditional international removals company to transport your belongings. In theory, it’s an ideal choice. Traditional international removals companies are excellent for shipping large, bulky items such as sofas, beds and even your car. However, if you’re on a strict budget, and a tight timescale, you might find the cost and transit times don’t align with your needs.
