HELP! I need a lorry to...

[Kenlinliu1419]

Can anyone help recommend anyone who can transport a load of my stuff (furniture and cartons) to and from Suntec City?

The lorry needs to be covered and probably about 14 to 20 feet long to carry everything in 1 trip. Because of the furniture, I think it should have one of the tailgate hydraulic lifts to make things easier.

 

I've called a few companies but they want to charge me $60 - 100 per hour! I want to hire someone on a per trip basis!

Did you get it done at a cheaper rate?

 

I need to move some plants and a small piece of furniture from the East Coast to the Northeast area, I was wondering if there are any "freelance" lorry driver willing to do it for less than $40 (timing is flexible), otherwise I will hire a Maxicab. Anyone can help?

I know moving companies that charge alot less than that. My korean friend was moving house 2yrs back. The moving company quote them $120 labour and veh inclusive, one trip frm north area to CBD (yes they stay in CBD now). The mother not happy then bargain until under $50. (involved alot of NO! NO! and phone hangups) will try to ask her for the contact.

Thanks, PM me if you have lobang, a big van or a pick up truck will do actually as items are not very big but won't fit into my sedan. The distance should not exceed 15 km and will take about 30 minutes max.

dont bother, the company probably closed up already.

$50 incl labour + veh to move house from north to CBD.....

either the company is too desperate until going to collapse or he take the furniture go and sell.

Hamburger's rate is good. I used to pay a pick up driver 60 bucks for a single trip and he doesn't even offer to help.

Actually .... I suppose you need 2 person for

 

- carry and loading up your stuff on the vehicle from your house

- then unload and carry to where you need in Suntec City

- then carry and load back up the lorry from Suntec City

- then unload and carry back to your house

 

I'm not sure how many boxes and how many pieces of furniture you got.

 

I'm not sure whether your house is lift landing or not.

 

I'm not sure how far is the place in Suntec City from the loading/unloading area.

 

And on top of that, they need to provide a lorry, covered.

 

So frankly $60-$100/hour is quite reasonable.

based on my small little experience,

 

the transport - you need a aircon truck, if not foodstuff will rot.

customs clearance - depend on your company AVA licence, not the transporter. permits, your transporter should be able to help to pre-declare and clear customs , provided you have passed all necessary licence.

 

 

cost, wise, it will likely be in the ballpark of 2000RM per trip.

 

have u considered air freight?
