Just moving piano alone might cost 300. But 960 is too much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I calculate base on 280 per trip, at most 2 trips only, is 560 and Elite Mover said piano is 180?(I hear like 100+ on the phone), most should be 740. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must have notice the quotation receipt left on my table.Might as well you rent a lorry, and ask your brothers to help you move your things. Then treat them makan, will be cheaper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beluga 1 Report post Posted March 21, 2012 Received 3 quotes so far. On all 3 quotes, I asked for another separate trip to pick up a super single bed and frame from YCK which I bought from a nice young couple.Elite - 1030Soon Seng - 1000138 - 950I think another reason why expensive is because my mum has a lot of plants....SS and 138 both need to pay deposit for boxes which is refundable.Mark has not got back to me....

beluga 1 Report post Posted March 22, 2012 Julia, Mark's partner have given me the quote.First trip - 350Second trip onwards - 200Piano another 120So assuming 3 trips needed, it will be 350 + 200 + 200 + 120 = 870. Plus another separate trip to pick up the super single bed, say, 50 to 80 will be 920 to 950. Also same as my other quotes liao... Haiz... Looks like can't run away from these figures. I'm tempted to rent a kangoo to transport the carton boxes myself and let the mover move the big items in just 1 trip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
