APAC is one of the budget movers in Singapore and recommends shared shipping to people who are not in any urgency to ship goods or there is no stringent deadline to follow. The Groupage shipping method works for smaller shipments, i.e. shipment, which are below half a 20ft Container to Europe. All the shipments are held in our warehouse after packing until the 20ft container is filled up.

Our customers can book this option for shipping bulk of their goods and can opt for Air Freight for shipping their essentials or necessary smaller items to reach on time.
