## How to choose
- Match speed to need: next-day networks are cheapest for routine parcels, and on-demand apps suit urgent deliveries across town.
- Check the weight and size limits. Motorbike deliveries are often capped at about 5–10 kg, and bulky items need a car or van.
- Compare the default liability for loss or damage with the parcel's value, and buy extra coverage for valuables.
- For businesses, compare failed-delivery and return-to-sender fees, COD handling and pickup cut-off times, not just the base rate.

## Red flags
- No tracking number or proof of delivery.
- Pricing by 'volumetric weight' that is not explained before booking.
- No stated compensation limit for lost parcels.

## FAQs
### What is the cheapest way to send a parcel in Singapore?
For non-urgent items, standard local parcel services start from about $2.95 to $3.55 in 2026 for delivery in about three working days, often with drop-off at a point or locker. Next-day services start from about $4.15. Prices rise with weight and size, so measure and weigh the parcel before comparing quotes.

### How much does same-day courier cost in Singapore?
On-demand apps such as Lalamove, GrabExpress and pandago start at about $5 to $9 for delivery within an hour by motorbike, plus distance charges. Scheduled same-day services start from about $11 to $14 for heavier parcels up to 20–25 kg. Car and van bookings cost more but take bulky items.

### What happens if a courier loses my parcel?
Compensation is set by the courier's terms and is often capped at a low default amount unless you bought extra coverage. Report it quickly with your tracking number, receipt and proof of value. If the courier will not settle, CASE can mediate, and the Small Claims Tribunals hear claims of up to $20,000.
