9 Best Movers in Singapore: House, Office & Overseas Moves, and How to Pick the Right One (2026)

Picking a mover in Singapore comes down to a few things that actually predict a smooth day: the crews, what's included, whether the price is published or quote-only, and how long the company has been doing it. What follows is the substance behind each one, and how to shortlist safely.

At a glance: the movers worth shortlisting

"Pricing" flags who publishes real numbers versus who only quotes after a survey, one of the clearest honesty signals in this trade.

Mover	Pricing	What it's known for
1. CYC Movers	From ~$300, quote	Since 2003, ISO-certified, IT/lab moves
2. Move Move Movers	Trolley flat-rate from $85	Published pricing, in-house crews
3. LS House Movers	Quote	Residential move specialist
4. Cheap Movers	Partner quotes	Quote platform, not a mover
5. Vimbox Movers	Published table	Full published price ranges
6. Tip Top Movers	Half-load from $188	Move + packing + disposal, published rates
7. TNG Movers	Quote (free boxes)	Free survey, no hidden cost
8. Crown Relocations	Quote · international	Overseas & corporate relocation
9. Shalom Movers	Quote	Since 1982, widest service list

In a hurry? The headline picks:

• Most established / lowest risk: CYC Movers, ISO-certified, running since 2003, handles home, office and IT/lab moves.
• Best transparent pricing: Vimbox or Move Move, they publish real numbers instead of "request a quote".
• Cheapest small move: Move Move's flat-rate trolley pricing (from $85), or Tip Top's half-load (from $188).
• Moving overseas: Crown Relocations (or the international specialists further down).

1. CYC Movers

An established, heavily-certified operator: running since 2003, ISO 9001/14001/45001 and BizSafe3 certified, and equipped for IT-infrastructure and lab relocations alongside home and office moves. That breadth of accreditation is uncommon in the trade, and it's why CYC handles the big, sensitive jobs many movers pass on. Rates start around $300 for an HDB move after a site or video survey.

2. Move Move Movers

The mover that just tells you the price. It runs a flat-rate trolley model: $85 for one trolley, $100 for two, plus $40 for each additional, with itemised written quotes and in-house crews rather than outsourced labour. If your move is a few big items rather than a whole flat, that published pricing makes it the easiest to budget for up front.

• Good for: small moves and anyone who hates "request a quote".
• Where: movemove.biz.
• Full review: our Move Move Movers review, with the published prices and the liability position.

3. LS House Movers

A house-move specialist that stays focused on residential work rather than trying to cover every kind of job. Keeping to that one lane is what regulars like about it: the crews do HDB and condo home moves week in, week out. Pricing is quote-only, and the quote comes after a survey rather than over the phone.

• Good for: a straightforward HDB or condo home move.
• Where: housemoverssingapore.com.

4. Cheap Movers Singapore

This one is different from the rest of the list, and it matters: Cheap Movers Singapore is a quote platform rather than a moving company. Its own site says partner movers will contact you with free quotes, and that your contact details are passed to those partners. No registered entity name, UEN, office address or insurance position is published anywhere on the site, so the mover who turns up, and the liability for anything that breaks, belongs to a partner it doesn't name.

• Good for: collecting several competing quotes from one form.
• Watch for: you are hiring whichever partner responds, so the registered name and UEN of that company are the things to get before a deposit.
• Where: cheapmoverssingapore.com.

5. Vimbox Movers

The most transparent price table in the trade: 3-room HDB $400–600, 4–5-room $600–1,000, condos $600–1,500, landed $1,000–3,000, office $800–4,000+, international $3,000–9,000+ (with a 1.5× surcharge for off-hours). Full-service across residential, office and overseas moves, plus storage, safe and piano moving. Publishing ranges like this lets you sanity-check any quote you get before anyone visits.

• Good for: knowing your likely bill before anyone visits.
• Where: vimboxmovers.sg.
• Full review: our Vimbox Movers review, with the published prices and the liability position.

6. Tip Top Movers

Transparency is the draw here: photo-based quotes and published rates. Half-load from $188, a full 15-ft lorry from $300, packing from $8/box, disposal from $69/item, storage from $168, with move, packing, storage and disposal all handled by one team. A tidy choice when you want the whole job bundled and priced up front.

• Good for: a bundled move where you want packing and disposal sorted too.
• Where: tiptop-movers.com.
• Full review: our Tip Top Movers review, with the published prices and the liability position.

7. TNG Movers

Built around a no-hidden-cost promise: a free site survey, free boxes thrown in, and residential, commercial, storage and disposal all under one roof. Pricing is quote-only, but the free survey is what turns a rough estimate into a firm number, which is where most moving-day surprises come down to.

• Good for: people who've been burned by moving-day add-ons.
• Where: tngmovers.com.

8. Crown Relocations

The one to call when you're leaving the country, not the estate. Crown is a global corporate-relocation brand, part of the Crown Worldwide group, geared to overseas moves and company relocations rather than a quick HDB shift. Its strength is international logistics and corporate accounts, the kind of move where customs, shipping and insurance matter more than a lorry booking.

• Good for: moving abroad, or a company relocation.
• Where: crownrelo.com.

9. Shalom Movers

Singapore's oldest and biggest mover, going since 1982, award-winning, with more than 230,000 residential moves behind it and the widest service list here: storage, piano moving, e-waste disposal, and lorry-and-driver rental. If your move is complex and you want storage and disposal handled under one large, established roof, this is the one built for it.

• Good for: a complex move needing storage and disposal under one big, established roof.
• Where: shalom.com.sg.
• Full review: our Shalom Movers review, with the published prices and the liability position.

Moving overseas? The international specialists

Two more names carry weight for international and corporate relocation, even if they keep a smaller local footprint (their credibility is offline and account-based):

• Asian Tigers Mobility, a well-regarded regional relocation brand.
• Santa Fe Relocation, a global relocation group with a Singapore office.

For a local HDB or condo move, stick with the specialists above; for a cross-border move, get quotes from Crown, Asian Tigers and Santa Fe.

How to shortlist a mover safely

A few habits keep you clear of the moving-day horror stories:

• Favour an established track record: a mover with years behind it and a large, recent body of happy customers is a safer bet than a brand-new name with a handful of jobs.
• Check they're genuinely separate firms: if several names on your shortlist trace back to the same office, address and phone number, they aren't independent choices. Pick genuinely different companies.
• Get it in writing: an itemised quote after a site or video survey, and steer clear of cash-only or no-contract outfits.

The one pattern to know: the classic trap is a low phone quote, then a price hike on moving day once your things are on the lorry. An itemised written quote after a survey is your protection.

What customers actually report

The number-one complaint is lowball baiting: an irresistibly cheap quote that balloons once the truck is loaded, with long-carry and stair fees the most-filed grievances, a $380 three-room quote ending past $650. After that come damage or lost items with weak or no insurance and little accountability, and the worst case, the "hostage load", where the crew refuses to unload until you pay surprise charges, or vanishes after taking a deposit.

The single protection is a written, itemised, all-in quote. A firm price by service line kills the day-of "lift too small, extra manpower, too many stairs" surcharges. Be wary of any mover who quotes without a site visit or a detailed video survey, and never hand a cash-only deposit to an unvetted crew. The cheapest quote is usually the most expensive by moving day.

So which should you go with?

Pick by the move:

• Small flat, easy budgeting: Move Move's trolley flat-rate from $85, or Vimbox's published table.
• Bigger or delicate move: CYC (ISO-certified, since 2003) or TNG (free survey, no hidden cost).
• Move, packing and disposal bundled: Tip Top.
• Overseas or corporate: Crown Relocations.

Whoever you pick, get the itemised price and the insurance terms in writing first.

Movers in Singapore: quick questions

Who is the best mover in Singapore?

For an all-round home or office move, CYC Movers stands out: certified (ISO 9001/14001/45001, BizSafe3), running since 2003, and equipped for everything from an HDB flat to IT and lab relocations. For transparent, budget-friendly pricing, Move Move Movers publishes flat-rate trolley pricing from $85. For a home move, LS House Movers and Cheap Movers are strong; for overseas, Crown Relocations.

How much do movers cost in Singapore?

A small trolley move can start around $85 (Move Move); a half-lorry load from about $188 (Tip Top). A full home move typically runs $400–600 for a 3-room HDB, $600–1,000 for a 4–5-room, and $600–1,500 for a condo (Vimbox's published table). International moves run into the thousands. Get an itemised written quote after a survey.

Which movers publish their prices?

Most are quote-only, but a few publish real numbers, Vimbox (a full HDB/condo/office price table), Move Move (flat-rate trolley pricing from $85) and Tip Top (half-load from $188, packing and disposal rates). Published pricing is one of the clearest honesty signals in this trade.

How do I avoid getting scammed by a mover?

Get an itemised quote in writing after a site or video survey, avoid cash-only or no-contract operators, and favour a mover with an established track record over a brand-new name. Be wary of "companies" that share an address and phone number with several other brand names.

Which mover is best for an overseas move?

The international specialists: Crown Relocations (part of Crown Worldwide), Asian Tigers Mobility and Santa Fe Relocation are geared to cross-border and corporate relocation, where customs, shipping and insurance matter more than a lorry booking. Their local footprint is smaller because their work is corporate and account-based, so get quotes from a couple of them.

What movers do people recommend on Reddit?

On Reddit and local forums the advice is less about one name and more about the process: get an itemised quote in writing, avoid the cheapest phone quote (the classic moving-day price-hike trap), and favour an established mover over a brand-new one. The names that come up positively tend to be the transparent-pricing outfits (Move Move, Tip Top) and the big established players (CYC).
