I tried to look for one but the best I could find was the SG post office -- which of course isn't really the best in terms of cost. =/ I ended up just paying for extra baggage at the airport. :(

i looked too before moving but the prices were ridiculous. also, i was told that i had to write a description for every item i was intending to ship on customs forms and that sounded too tedious for me.

i divided my stuff into luggage bags and took as much as i could on the flight. i took sq and they were generous with the baggage and didnt charge me for the extra weight. i went back to sg for a holiday last year with an empty suitcase and did the same thing again. one more trip and i should have all my stuff here with me, lol.

I understand that you may be making the trips for other purposes but isn't it more expensive to make several trips to ferry luggage?

Anyway, I have done some fairly extensive research and found that paying the excess baggage fees is by far the cheapest of the methods of which I am aware.
