# Logistics & Warehousing in Downtown Core

Logistics firms in Singapore offer warehousing, local trucking, fulfilment and cross-border freight. Choose by what you move: parcels go to couriers, pallets and containers to trucking and forwarding firms, and stock you hold to 3PL warehouses. Get the rate card, insurance cover and liability limits in writing before you hand over goods.

- Median years in business: 21

## 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.
