Hi All - how long did it take from when you packed up in Sydney, to your stuff arriving at your home in Singapore?
I seem to be getting general guidelines of between 3-6 weeks which is quite a large range and hoping others can share their experiences.

It is hard to get a closer number for a variety of reasons.
- If you are not buying the entire container you may have to wait until it is filled.
- Your container may be subject to inspection by customs on either end of the trip, from cursory to the "big dig".
- Your container may have to wait for the correct ship to haul it to Singapore.

Mine came from Perth and took close to 4 weeks for door to door. Hope this help.

Container took about 1.5 months door to door. It's stays at the docks for a while to be processed. Its not all about travel time.
That's why when I relocated there was also a airship allowance too to get your important stuff in SG sooner like 5 days.
