Hello,
I'm in search of freight forwarders from USA & China to Singapore. I have found China to Singapore so far but no clue for USA to Singapore.
Does anyone have any contact with any freight forwarder for USA to Singapore ??
Regards.

I use buyandship and have been happy with them so far.
been using shipito.com for about 4 years now.. never an issue, they do a PAYG option or a subscription model where you can earn like 5 or 10% off shipping costs..
can get up to 3 months storage etc.
I've used HopShopGo and they've been OK. Unless I'm mistaken their HQ is in Singapore.
Try ShopAndShip.
In Singapore, and my usual go-to is ezbuy. Been able to ship a few servers over, mostly from GoPCN with barely any issues.
I've used Shipito and comGateway.
They require a SG Phone Number. How did you manage that ?
Stackry
Shipito but it's getting worse every year. Used for close to 10 years but it's getting too bad and moved to sea freight only
?
Do they provide warehouse to door service including the Tax Clearance ? Or, just shipping ?
I don't understand your question. They are a regular logistics company, and you will have to handle taxes as per usual.
For small stuff that get shipped via USPS/UPS/Fedex I find it much cheaper to maintain an account at a good virtual address place, in my case PhysicalAddress.com, simply because they don't overcharge the hell out of you on the shipping costs. But then I'm in a US territory and not Singapore, so maybe check with them first. They're very highly rated.
For a real freight forwarder, if you're in SG, I think it would make life a lot easier for you to find a good forwarder based in SG that also operates in the US. That way you're not dealing with 2 completely different companies, and you may save on quite a bit of paperwork as well. Chances are that there will be a local company that helps students/expats move to and from the US with a good reputation.
Used Shipito since 4 years ago, they provide shipping and tax clearance. They're also a bit strict with tax declaration, so declare honestly from both the products + pricing
Myus.com, I use it for a few years with no issues, however they are a little expensive.
I do recommend Planet Express (Ref link)
I have been using their service since 2019 and I have shipped multiple shipments with them and their service is quite fast and service fees are not high ( consolidation/storage/pictures/...etc)
They have 3 warehouses, 1 in the UK, 1 in California, and 1 in Oregon which is tax-free, however you do need to subscribe to premium service for 10$ a month or 50$ a year to get access to the tax-free warehouse and to some other perks ( consolidation service & 45 days free storage instead of 10).
You can see pictures from their warehouses in their instagram or facebook pageswarehouse pics .
And these are some pictures of last shipment I sent lately
Edit: Removed one of the pictures.
Actually I need a freight forwarder who will charge me including the tax or, can make the payment of tax on behalf of me & deliver the package to My Address. As I'm not in the USA/Singapore, so I need someone to take that responsibility.
Myus.com does that.
That's the job of customs.
Yes, of course theirs. But, freight forwarder means to deliver at doorstep ;-)
Ah, never knew. Are you sure about that ?
