Moving FAQs
in Singapore
This page brings together the most common questions customers ask before, during, and after a move.
How Much Do I Tip The Movers?
Tipping is optional. If you feel the crew handled your move well, you may tip them directly or offer suitable refreshments; neither is required and it does not change the agreed service.
Is It Possible To Move During Inclement Weather?
Yes, many moves can continue in light rain when the loading route, wrapping and site conditions remain safe. Heavy rain, lightning, flooding, traffic disruption or an unsafe access route may require a pause or timing change. Your coordinator should confirm the moving-day plan from the actual conditions.
What Are The Factors That May Affect The Overall Quotation For The Moving Services?
The main inputs are inventory volume; bulky, heavy, fragile or special items; packing and dismantling; stairs, lift access and long pushes; loading-bay or building requirements; multiple stops; timing; and any change after the survey. Send both addresses, access details and clear photos or video so the written scope can be compared accurately.
How Many Movers Will You Be Sending?
Crew size is planned from the declared volume, item weight, stairs and access, dismantling, timing and agreed scope. If your building or job has a specific manpower requirement, tell the coordinator before booking so it can be considered in the operations plan.
Who Can I Call During The Move If Any Issues?
Use the sales or operations contact named in your accepted booking. That person can coordinate scope questions or moving-day changes. For a new enquiry, use the published WhatsApp, office phone, email or contact form.
Can Weather Affect My Move?
Yes. Weather can affect traffic, loading routes, wrapping, building access and safe handling even when the move can proceed. The team may adjust, pause or reschedule work according to actual conditions, official warnings, site rules and the confirmed plan.
Why Should I Hire A Moving Company?
A moving company gives one team responsibility for inventory, access, protection, vehicle and manpower planning. Compare the written scope, exclusions and responsibilities—not only the headline price. Start with the relevant home-moving or commercial-moving service and make sure unusual items and both access routes are declared.
How Much Do Your Services Cost?
There is no single price that accurately represents every home, office, delivery, disposal or special-item job. The useful comparison is the written scope based on real inventory and access. Review the moving price guide, then request an itemised quotation showing inclusions, exclusions, optional work and known scope-change conditions.
Is There Additional Charges For Saturday Or Sunday Moves?
Weekend and public-holiday slots depend on the booking calendar and building rules. Any weekend, public-holiday, manpower-only, transport-only or overtime charge should appear in the current written quotation; do not rely on an older general rule.
How Do I Cancel/Change The Booking That I’ve Made?
Contact the coordinator as early as possible and quote your booking details. The applicable notice period, deposit treatment and any cancellation or rescheduling charge come from the accepted booking terms because reserved resources can differ by job.
When to Make Payment, Any Deposit?
The required deposit, balance and payment timing can depend on the job value, service type and booking terms. Ask for the amount, due date and approved payment route to be shown on the current quotation or invoice before paying.
What the Payment Methods?
Follow the payment instructions on the current quotation or invoice. Confirm any changed bank account, number or payment request through a published Move Move Movers contact before sending money.
Are There Any Hidden Costs?
The clearest protection is an itemised written quotation that records the agreed items, access and services. Undeclared extra items, stairs, long pushing distance, additional stops, waiting time, building restrictions or extra work can change the scope. Ask the coordinator to explain and record any revision before that extra work proceeds.
Do You Have License For Moving?
MOVE MOVE PTE. LTD. is registered in Singapore under UEN 201921838K. Business registration is separate from any service-specific licence, permit, insurance policy or certification. If your move or building requires a particular credential, ask the team to identify the current document that applies.
What Are Your Working Hours?
Our published operating hours are Monday to Sunday, 8am to 11pm. Your requested move window still depends on availability and building rules. Any work outside the confirmed window and any overtime or after-hours charge must be agreed in writing.
What is the Procedure for Engaging Your Service?
Send the inventory, both addresses, access details, preferred date and any packing, dismantling, storage or disposal needs. Review the written quotation, confirm the scope and slot, complete any stated deposit or building arrangement, then update the coordinator if anything changes. Use the contact page to start.
How to Get a Quotation?
Send pickup and delivery addresses, access details, preferred date, item photos or video and every required service through WhatsApp +65 8332 5196, office phone +65 6909 3840, sales@movemove.biz or the contact form. Our published operating hours are Monday to Sunday, 8am to 11pm; response timing and service slots depend on confirmed availability.
What is the Geographical Range of Your Service?
Our published moving service area is within Singapore. If your route extends beyond Singapore, ask for written confirmation before assuming that it can be accepted.
What Are The Services Provided?
Move Move Movers handles residential moves, commercial moves, furniture delivery, packing and manpower support, disposal and storage-related moves. The exact inclusions depend on the selected service and written quotation.
When Should I Confirm The Booking?
Earlier confirmation gives more time to secure your preferred date, lift or loading-bay slot and packing preparation. Popular dates can fill up. Urgent moves may still be assessed when vehicle, manpower and access are available, but a slot is confirmed only through the accepted booking.
Can I Keep Moving Expenses Down By Having A Family Member Or Friend Help On Moving Day?
Friends or family can help by finishing labels, directing room placement, watching personal essentials and keeping routes clear. Loading, truck access and heavy-item handling should follow the crew lead and the agreed responsibility boundaries so unplanned help does not slow the move or create a safety issue.
Can The Movers Arrange The Furniture To My Liking In My New Home?
Room placement can be included when the destination route and requested positions are clear and safe. Label cartons by room, mark bulky-furniture positions before unloading and confirm any assembly or repeated repositioning work in the written scope.
What Is The Size Of Carton Boxes Provided?
Carton size, quantity, delivery, collection, condition and whether materials are included or chargeable can vary by package. Confirm the current carton arrangement in the quotation, or review the packing materials and tools page for the available planning options.
Can I Have Someone There For Delivery?
You may nominate a receiver when the booking allows it. Give the coordinator that person’s full name and contact number, make sure they are authorised to accept the items and building access, and keep both parties available for any handover question.
Will The Movers Take Any Extra Items I Have?
Tell the coordinator as early as possible. Adding or removing items can change volume, vehicle, manpower, time and price. Send updated photos or an item list and request a written scope revision before moving day.
What Are The Best Days Of The Week To Move?
There is no universally best day. Choose a date that works with mover availability, building-approved hours, lift booking and your handover schedule. Weekdays may offer easier building access in some properties, while weekends and popular dates may be busier; confirm your actual property rules before booking.
How Long Will It Take To Complete My Move?
Duration depends on inventory volume, packing readiness, dismantling, stairs and lift access, loading distance, traffic, multiple stops and destination placement. Provide those details when you request a quotation so the team can plan the job rather than rely on a generic duration.
Can My Friends And Family Help Load The Truck?
They can help with labels, directions and keeping the route clear. Loading, equipment use and truck access should remain under the crew lead and the responsibilities agreed for the job; do not board the truck or handle equipment unless the coordinator confirms it is permitted and safe.
Is There Anything I Should Know About Moving Appliances?
Unless specialist disconnection or installation is agreed, appliances should be unplugged and prepared by the appropriate person. Empty, defrost and dry refrigerators or freezers; arrange qualified disconnection where a washing machine or other appliance is plumbed in. Declare each appliance and both access routes before quoting.
Can You Help Dismantle And/Or Set Up My Sound System And TV?
Furniture or bracket-related handling may be assessed when declared, but electrical setup, in-wall wiring, specialist mounting and device configuration are separate skills. Ask the coordinator to state exactly what the moving or assembly scope includes before the job.
Can I Leave Items In Dresser Drawers?
Light clothing or linen may sometimes remain when the furniture, drawer security, stairs and carrying weight are suitable. Remove loose, fragile, valuable and heavy items, then follow the crew’s pre-move advice for that furniture and route.
How Can I Prepare To Ensure I Have A Successful Move?
Start early, reduce unwanted items, label cartons by room, keep valuables and essential documents with you, photograph fragile items, confirm both access routes and nominate a moving-day contact. In Singapore, settle lift booking, MCST or loading-bay requirements before the date. Use the complete packing checklist to control the sequence.
What Are The Tips For Residential Move?
Defrost, dry and deodorise refrigerators or freezers; finish room labels; separate an owner-controlled essentials kit; secure loose tools and cables; and remove perishables before moving day. Confirm lift, loading-bay and handover arrangements, then work through the home-move packing checklist.
Do You Provide Protection Wrapping For My Items To Be Moved?
Protection wrapping for declared mattresses, TVs, sofas, furniture or other items can be included according to the agreed service. Identify high-value, antique, fragile or unusual items before quoting so handling, owner-carried items and any relevant insurance option can be discussed accurately. See the packing service for scope planning.
Can I Request for a Urgent move?
Yes—contact the team as soon as possible with the full inventory, both addresses, access details and required timing. An urgent move can be assessed only against available vehicle, manpower, building access and a confirmed written scope.
Are Your Storage Options Safe And Secure?
Storage conditions depend on the exact operator and location. Before booking, ask the team to document security, access, environmental conditions, insurance position, exclusions and customer responsibilities so you can assess the arrangement against your items.
I Need Storage For A Few Weeks/Months – Can You Help?
Short- or longer-term storage-related moving can be assessed from the inventory, pickup access, expected duration and later delivery plan. Confirm the operator or location, access, security, environmental conditions, insurance position, notice period, charges and redelivery terms in writing, then request a scoped quotation.
