If you're planning a move in Singapore, one of the first questions you'll probably ask is: "How much do movers charge in Singapore?" Whether you're relocating from an HDB flat, a condominium, or a landed property, knowing the cost of hiring movers can help you budget more accurately and avoid hidden fees.

In this guide, we break down the typical pricing for moving services in Singapore and what factors affect the cost — so you can make an informed choice when selecting a trusted moving company like Xpress Movers & Logistics.

Average Cost of Hiring Movers in Singapore

In Singapore, moving service costs typically range based on the type of move, the size of your home, and whether additional services are needed. Here’s a general estimate:

Type of Move

Estimated Cost (SGD)

1-room HDB / studio flat

$250 – $400

2-room HDB

$400 – $600

3-room HDB / condo unit

$600 – $900

4-room HDB / large condo

$900 – $1,200

5-room HDB / landed house

$1,200 – $2,000+

Office relocation

Varies (quote-based)

💡 Tip: At Xpress Movers & Logistics, we provide free on-site surveys and transparent quotes — no hidden charges.

Factors That Affect Moving Costs in Singapore

1. Size and Volume of Your Move

The more items you have, the more manpower and time it will take to move. Movers often price based on the number of boxes, furniture pieces, and overall cubic feet of items.

Pro Tip: Declutter before moving. You’ll reduce cost and save time.

2. Distance Between Locations

While most local moves within Singapore fall within a similar range, the distance between your current and new home may impact the final quote — especially if long travel times or restricted entry timings (e.g., condominiums) are involved.

3. Accessibility of Both Locations

Properties without lifts or those located on higher floors might incur staircase fees. Similarly, restricted loading zones, narrow walkways, or long carry distances may affect the cost.

At Xpress Movers, we assess these during the site visit to ensure a fair and accurate price.

4. Additional Services

Most professional movers offer optional add-ons. These can include:

  • Packing and unpacking services

  • Dismantling and reassembly of furniture

  • Protective wrapping (for fragile items or electronics)

  • Disposal of old furniture

  • Storage services

📦 At Xpress Movers, we include basic dismantling and protective wrapping at no extra charge.

5. Peak Periods and Urgent Moves

If you're moving during high-demand seasons (e.g., year-end holidays, school breaks, or weekends), prices may be slightly higher. Last-minute bookings can also come with a premium.

Book your move early to secure the best rates!

Why Transparency Matters in Moving Costs

Some moving companies advertise low prices upfront but add hidden fees later. At Xpress Movers & Logistics, we take pride in our transparent pricing and itemized quotes so you know exactly what you're paying for.

We believe in building trust — which is why we’re a top-rated mover in Singapore for both residential and office relocations.

How to Get an Accurate Quote

The best way to find out exactly how much your move will cost is to request a site survey. At Xpress Movers, we offer free and no-obligation site assessments where our team evaluates:

  • The volume of items

  • Your property layout

  • Packing requirements

  • Special handling items (e.g., piano, artwork, aquariums)

This allows us to provide a customized and fixed-price quote so you can move stress-free.

Final Thoughts: What Should You Budget for?

If you're moving a standard 3-room HDB, you can expect to spend around $600 to $900, depending on the complexity. But remember — not all movers are created equal.

Hiring a cheap mover that cuts corners can result in broken furniture, lost items, or last-minute cancellations. Instead, choose a trusted mover in Singapore with proven reviews and professional service — like Xpress Movers & Logistics.
