There are several instances when you might need to engage a mover or moving service.
The first is when you buy or sell something off a website such as Carousell and need help transporting the item from one place to another. Or perhaps, you have an appliance or furniture you don’t use and want to donate or give them to a close friend or relative.
The second is when you’re moving house. While it is an exciting moment filled with new beginnings, the move should be anything but eventful. After all, you want your precious belongings to be moved smoothly and safely at an acceptable cost. Moving house can also be cross-border, which would require added expertise and know-how to deal with regulations and administration.

Omni Global ($50 – $100 per hour)
DIY movers refer to people who have already done the packing and only require a vehicle to transport the goods to the new location. Omni Global fits the bill as a company offering lorry rental services with drivers included.
The lorries range from 1- to 9-tonne capacity and the prices are charged per hour with a minimum rental of two hours.
Trolleys, straps, belts and other moving materials are also available for free to make the move easier.

Weload ($240 to $440)
Those who regularly scour Carousell for good deals or to sell their preloved items will definitely need a mover that can deliver quickly and cost-effectively.
But rather than paying for an entire truck for just an item, Weload allows you to only pay for the product you want to move be it a sofa, cabinets, pianos, appliances and more.
There is also a price list for the varying kinds of items that are commonly moved starting from $50.

GoGoX ($268 to $428)
With the GoGoX application, you can easily engage delivery service or mover at the touch of a button.
Small parcels and packages can be moved with a motorcycle or sedan while furniture will be transported with 10-, 14- or 24-ft lorries.
The on-demand service, however, does not come with carton boxers or professional movers. For that, there is a two-day lead for the GoGoX Moving Service. Prices are also available on their website and you can request a quote too.

Lalamove (Base fare $42 = $125 + distance fare)
Similar to GoGoX, Lalamove is another option for on-demand delivery or moving services you can access with your smartphone.
Pick from a speedy motorbike courier to a 24ft lorry and keep tabs on the delivery status via the mobile app.
Food deliveries (they can queue for you too!) can also be made. The pricing details are on their website but the final cost will be calculated on the app.
- 10ft Lorry: Base fare $42 + $0.75/km
- 14ft Lorry: Base fare $79 + $0.75/km
- 24ft Lorry: Base fare $125 + $1/km
Pioneer to Pasir Ris (Example)
The distance-based fare system may look confusing at first. Let’s take an example: assuming you are moving from Pioneer to Pasir Ris, that is approximately 40.4km. So, your prices will range from:
- 10ft Lorry: Base fare $42 + $0.75/km x 40.4km = $42 + $30.30 = $72.30
- 14ft Lorry: Base fare $79 + $0.75/km x 40.4km = $79 + $30.30 = $109.30
- 24ft Lorry: Base fare $125 + $1/km x 40.4km = $125 + $40.40 = $165.40
