citimap movers

*back dated entry*

today we FINALLY move into our new home!!! there are still lots of things to be done but since mama said today is the most auspicious date in Dec, we HAVE to move today.... *roll eyes* but whatever..... initially we thought of renting a van over the weekend then we can slowly move our things over but when we start to count the total number of things we need to move, it is better to engage the professional..... we engaged citimap movers.... there are quite a number of movers company in SG... i actually like geometra since they were super efficient in moving our lab stuff but i believed their prices are quite steep so we just forgo it...... another reason why we engage citimap because mama used their services for 3times over the passed 2years & she was quite happy with them so we just give it a go.....

the usual procedure is that you will call the company and ask the staff to come down for a quotation, if you ok with the price then you fix the moving date.... after which another staff will passed you the required number of paper box for you to put your things.... then on the actual day you will pay the movers in full.... FYI: if possible try to avoid moving in dec period cause the staff told us that they will increase the price by 30% during this period..... but since mama wanted us to move on that specific date, we just have to tahan the price.....

the total number of things we need to move = 1 single bed frame, 1 single bed mattress, 20boxes of stuff, 1 tv, 1 small shelf, 1 28'luggage & several plastic boxes.... the staff quoted us $280 including the extra 30%... he said normally for this amount of stuff, he will charge $220-250.... oh well, what to do... another bonus about citimap movers is that they are pretty punctual, if your appointment is at 9am, they will reach by 9.05am or sometimes even before the arranged timing.... if you have some auspicious timing, you can tell the staff too & he will take note....

another FYI is that the quotation guy wont write down exactly what are the items you need to move, he will only write down the number of boxes & the total price... so you can always play cheat by adding more items from the agreed list... but of cause you need to be smart & not suddenly add BIG items like extra bed or wardrobe..... so if you need to engage movers, i think citimap is a pretty good choice since they are punctual, efficient & reasonably priced =)
