1. Best for F&B Businesses and Express Delivery: GrabExpress

For those selling food and other perishables online, time is of the essence. If you need same-day delivery, Grab Express offers a cheap base fare that’s best for short distance trips.

Their operating hours run from 7am to 11pm, which should cover most delivery windows. Grab also recommends booking the “GrabExpress Car” service for delicate items that require special handling.

2. Best for refrigerated foods: Lalamove

For those selling temperature sensitive foods, local courier service Lalamove makes use of specially designed insulated carriers to regulate the temperature of the food delivered.

Their 24/7 operating hours may also be a bonus for those dealing with inconvenient customer request timings.

3. Best for Small Parcels: Singpost

If you’re selling homemade items such as jewelry or crafts, where the delivery timing is not such a major concern, Singpost offers the cheapest rates for local delivery in Singapore.

‍PolyM is a postage-paid letterbox delivery service. For those who require tracking on their orders, look to use SmartPac instead. Both services can be mailed from any posting box near you, and have a letterbox delivery within 2 working days.

4. Best for Weight: NinjaVan

For those shipping and selling heavier items, such as books, NinjaVan offers shipping with no weight limit with their new Ninja Pack poly mailers.

Simply purchase your packs online, create a delivery order on the Ninja Dashboard, and drop off your package at the closest Ninja Point. Their services come with a tracking system, and 2 free attempts at redelivery.
