The gap between a smooth move and a disaster is almost entirely about mover selection. Damaged furniture, missing boxes, overcharging on the day, and last-minute no-shows are the recurring complaint patterns — all preventable with proper vetting. LTA-registered vehicles, goods-in-transit insurance, and on-site surveys separate legitimate movers from the cash-only operators who produce most incidents.

Yes for anything above a 3-room HDB. Phone quotes without surveys consistently produce day-of surcharges — the mover arrives, finds twice the volume, demands extra payment. A proper surveyor walks through, counts items, notes access constraints, and gives a fixed quote. For smaller moves, video walkthroughs via WhatsApp are acceptable.
DIY-packed HDB 4-room move: S\$350-700 within same zone, S\$500-900 across zones. Full-service HDB 4-room (pack-move-unpack): S\$600-1,500. Condo 3-bedroom: S\$800-2,500. Landed 3-bedroom: S\$1,500-3,500. MCST service lift deposits at condos add S\$500-1,000 refundable.
Goods-in-transit insurance (minimum S\$50,000-100,000 for 4-bedroom moves) is the key coverage. Ask for the insurance certificate and claim process in writing. Movers without insurance mean you eat the cost of any damage during the move. LTA vehicle registration is separate — check the lorry's logbook on arrival.
The classic day-of scam: mover arrives with undersized lorry, "realises" volume is bigger, demands S\$300-800 extra or threatens to leave. Prevention: insist on an on-site or video survey with signed volume agreement before the move. Movers refusing surveys are setting up for this exact surcharge.
Weekend and public holiday moves typically cost 20-30% more. Condos commonly restrict moves to weekdays 9am-6pm with service lift booking 48 hours ahead — weekend moves at some condos are simply not permitted. Weekday moves also tend to be less rushed, producing fewer damage incidents.
