Usually, you fill in a valuation form that lists approximate replacement value of your main items in destination currency. After that, your goods stay covered against major risks such as fire, accident, theft or water damage, according to the policy terms.

FAQs – Shipping Household Goods from Canada to Singapore
Transit time depends on the service you choose. Sea freight door-to-door usually takes around 6–9 weeks on average. Air freight is much faster and often takes about 5–10 days door-to-door. However, customs, weather and port congestion can sometimes affect the schedule.
The cheapest option in most cases is shared or LCL sea freight, especially when you don’t have enough items for a full container. You pay only for the volume you ship. Nevertheless, it takes longer than air freight and sometimes slightly longer than a full dedicated container.
Yes, you can usually ship electronics, TVs and some appliances as part of your household goods. They should be packed well, ideally in original boxes or in export-grade cartons with added protection. Also, you should check voltage and plug compatibility in Singapore before deciding which appliances you want to bring.
You normally need a copy of your passport, visa or work permit details, a detailed packing list and sometimes additional forms requested by customs. Your move coordinator will guide you through the exact paperwork, so you do not miss anything important.
The cost depends on container size (20ft or 40ft), total volume and weight of your goods, origin and destination, type of service (door-to-door or door-to-port), season, and any extra services such as packing, storage or difficult access. After a pre-move survey, we give you a clear written quote.
Insurance is not mandatory, but it is strongly recommended. Because your belongings travel a long distance and pass through trucks, ports, ships and warehouses, there is always some level of risk. International moving insurance helps protect you against major loss or damage according to the policy terms.
Yes, we offer full professional packing service. Our team brings all packing materials, packs each item, labels every box and prepares special crates when needed. This not only saves you time, but often improves protection and may support better insurance coverage.
Yes, we can arrange storage in Canada before shipping or in Singapore after the shipment arrives. This helps when your new home is still under renovation or when your travel dates do not match the delivery timing. Storage charges depend on volume and duration.
You receive regular updates at important stages: packing day, container loading, ship departure, ship arrival, customs clearance and delivery schedule. While it is not GPS-style tracking, you always know the status of your shipment, and you can contact your coordinator for updates at any time.
