## How to choose
- Define the job first: last-mile parcels, pallet or lorry moves, warehousing and pick-pack, or import and export clearance. Few providers do all of these well.
- Ask how they charge storage (per pallet, per cubic metre or per square foot) and handling (per order, per carton, inbound and outbound). Then model your real monthly volume.
- Check the default liability limit. Carriers often limit liability by weight or per package, so buy cargo insurance for high-value goods.
- For e-commerce, check how they integrate with your shop platform (Shopify, Shopee, Lazada) and their pick accuracy rate and cut-off times.
- Visit the warehouse if you can, and ask about pest control, fire safety, CCTV and stock-count procedures.

## Red flags
- No written service agreement or standard trading conditions.
- Unclear surcharges for fuel, waiting time, tailgate or after-hours delivery.
- No proof-of-delivery process.

## FAQs
### What is a 3PL in Singapore?
A third-party logistics (3PL) provider stores your stock in its warehouse and handles picking, packing and shipping on your behalf, often linked to your online shop. Pricing usually combines a storage charge (per pallet or per cubic metre each month), a handling or pick-pack fee per order, and the courier cost. Many charge a minimum monthly fee.

### Do I need a permit to import goods into Singapore?
Most commercial imports need a customs permit lodged through TradeNet, and GST is payable on imports. Businesses usually appoint a freight forwarder or declaring agent to lodge permits and arrange clearance. Controlled items, such as certain food, chemicals and health products, also need approval from the relevant agency before import.

### How do I choose between a courier and a logistics company?
Couriers are built for individual parcels with published per-parcel rates and tracking. Logistics companies suit pallets, bulk stock, regular B2B deliveries, warehousing and freight. If you ship many small orders and hold stock, a 3PL that sends parcels through couriers may give you both.
