How shipping from the US to Singapore works
The Republic of Singapore, an island nation situated off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, intertwines a rich cultural heritage with hypermodernity. Ancient temples nestle beneath the shadows of skyscrapers, lush oases dot bustling city streets, and rickety market stalls prop themselves against designer shopping malls, creating a fascinating landscape for visitors to explore.
No matter if you're travelling for business, off on the trip of a lifetime or relocating permanently, our unbeatable luggage services help make shipping to Singapore from the US hassle-free and affordable. From sports equipment to household goods, our team of international delivery experts have many years of experience shipping it all, so rest assured, your shipment is in safe hands.

What size are our shipping boxes for Singapore?
Whatever you are shipping to Singapore (as long as they're permitted!), we have the capacity and knowledge to transport them — from sports equipment and furniture to musical instruments and personal belongings. We can even provide you with plenty of our export-strength shipping boxes, purposely designed for our international services. These incredibly durable shipping containers are double-walled and chemically hardened, unlike the sort you pick up from a supermarket which are easily dented or split, providing you with greater peace of mind and your goods with extra protection on their journey to Singapore.
Although we offer a wide range of specialist shipping boxes for things like bikes and TV screens, our two primary containers are Large and Standard. The bigger option is ideal for clothing, bedding and other bulky things, whereas the smaller one is excellent for holding books, cookware, toys, files etc. But, please remember that to protect our drivers, we're unable to accept any shipping boxes over 30kg/66lbs.

International shipping boxes for Singapore packed in 4 steps
Before the belongings you're shipping set off on their journey, it's essential you pack them securely to ensure they arrive safely and undamaged. Here are four expert suggestions to help you fill your shipping boxes like a pro (reference our Excess Baggage FAQs for more information):
Build your shipping boxes:
Once you receive your shipping containers and packaging, it's best to get packing as soon as possible to avoid rushing. But before you start throwing in everything you can grab, declutter first. After all, do you honestly need those shoes you wore once to a wedding?
Instead, you'll find the process much simpler and keep costs down by only sending luggage you need or with sentimental value.
Thoroughly wrap fragile shipping items:
Individually cover each item, especially breakable pieces such as glassware, mirrors, and china, in plenty of bubble wrap secured with tape.
It's also vital you choose the correct box size as you don't want your goods either sliding around or squashed up against each other. Our top tip is to fill any gaps with towels, crumpled paper, or packing peanuts as an extra cushioning layer.
Adequately label every shipping box:
Labelling at least one side of each container with your name and job number makes the entire shipping process much smoother.
It helps our team to identify which goods belong to you and where they need to delivered to.
Prepare for collection day:
Once you've booked a collection date, it's helpful to have everything packed and ready for loading before the driver arrives to avoid unnecessary stress and delays once shipped.
Also, pack essentials into one box and load them onto the truck last. Use it for anything you might need urgently and don't want to lose under a stack of other containers.
Excellent service from Seven Seas Worldwide in all aspects, from start to finish. We arranged a last-minute shipment from Melbourne to Singapore and had assistance every step. Delivery drivers in both countries were super friendly and helpful. Customer service was awesomely helpful and replied in a timely manner. Answered all our queries and helped us with the process of changing destination addresses. The whole experience was nothing short of excellent. Kudos to the team!! I would give 10 stars if available for a seamless and worry-free shipping experience.

Gardens by the Bay: this park has won numerous awards for its giant futuristic tree structures that are brilliantly illuminated by a kaleidoscope of colours at nightfall.

Orchard Road
Best known for its parade of designer stores, Michelin star restaurants and chic bars, there's also plenty of other things to see and do in the Orchard Road area if you ever tire of shopping till your drop.
Emerald Hill Road: lined with exquisite houses from the early 1900s, all adorned with vibrant ceramic tiles and carved windows and doors, a wander down this road is like taking a step back in time.
The National Library: bury your nose in one of the thousands of books covering this IG-worthy library's stunning white walls and snaking shelves.
The Istana: housing the Singaporean President's office, this regal palace sits in stunning surroundings complete with a Japanese cannon, marble statue of Queen Victoria and plenty of exotic flora and fauna.
Fort Canning Park: escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a laid-back picnic and a stroll through this historical park. It's also home to the Battle Box, a complex maze of underground tunnels dating back to WWII.
The National Museum of Singapore: one of the most prominent national monuments in the city-state, the museum displays a wide range of ancient artifacts and regularly hosts events.
Chinatown
An intoxicating blend of old meets new, fragrant smells of traditional cuisine and the chatter of bartering over market goods bursts from every street in this enclave for Singapore's Chinese immigrant population.
Buddha Tooth Relic Temple: exhibiting several floors of Buddhist art and history, its most famed relic is a piece of a canine tooth said to have come from Buddha's funeral pyre.
Chinatown Street Market: a feast for the senses, these chockablock market stalls sell everything from lucky cats to steaming dim sum.

Universal Studios Singapore: with themed areas transporting you from Hollywood to Ancient Egypt, there truly is something for everyone in this mammoth complex of white-knuckle rides and live movie scenes.
