Cargo Cost from UK to Singapore

Cargo costs to Singapore will depend on the size and weight of the consignment and the choice between aircargo and sea cargo. For small shipments which do not fill a whole pallet aircargo will often work out cheaper – particularly if  sending cargo on a door-to-door basis. For larger shipments, sea cargo is better value at the expense of a longer transit time. For very large shipments a full shipping container may prove best value.

To enable us to accurately calculate your cargo cost to Singapore, we will need to know the length, width, height and weight of each item being shipped. If  goods are  being sent on pallets or in cases then the measurements of these should be supplied.

If you do not have exact dimensions and weights then we can provide an estimated cargo cost to Singapore which we will adjust when exact specifications are known.
