BuyNow7 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2011 Btw, wanted to share my experience with the movers I engaged - Elite Movers. The movers arrived 45 minutes before our scheduled time of 1pm. 4 men and 1 driver. Very efficient! The driver really just drives and take care of the vehicle, while the 4 movers do all the moving. Things we forgot, or miss out, or put at the wrong location they just go and do it. No black face, no complaints. Just do it attitude. :good: Boxes which I have not taped up, they actually took initiative and taped it up for us. Like wise for some loose items in smaller boxes, they have also put it into another box for us. In fact these guys are so efficient, they finished moving everything by 1.30pm. That's 75 minutes for moving from 2 locations to my new place! Very very fast. Very satisfied with their services. If I ever move in the not so near future, will definitely use them again.Do you have to pay them tips? How much?Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

strikingreality 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2011 BuyNow7 - yeah we gave them tips but it wasn't mandated by the company or anything like that, so to your question ad to whether we PAID them tips, I would say no. We gave them a round number to split among themselves which works out to a small single digit each person incl driver, enough for a meal. We also bought them canned drinks as well as it was super hot the day we moved. Yaolong - Their website is elitemovers.com.sgAbupapa - we bought our table at Pomelo. The original price of the Strut Table is $1,800 thereabouts. But juz FYI, the colour we got it in, Olive, is a discontinued colour. I dun think Grafunkt has it in this colour since they only recently started stocking it. But can double check with them. HTHs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're been away to the land of ramen, sushi and sashimi!Didn't buy much there as the yen is so high now... We did however, lug back a bench from Japan! Will share some pictures of our furniture shopping in Ramenland soon.In the meantime, I am suffering from severe post holiday withdrawal syndrome... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

reine 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2011 Welcome back! A bench from Japan? Can't wait to see the photos!Like to check if elite movers pack and unpack/assemble your stuffs for you?I understand that Shalom can pack all your clothes and hang them in a big moving cabinet, so you don't really have to pack them. Is it the same for Elite? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
