With global e-commerce expanding rapidly, more Singaporeans are shopping directly from overseas retailers, looking for better deals, wider selections, and exclusive products not available locally. But one question often arises:
“How do I ship my orders from the US, UK, Japan, or Korea to Singapore without high shipping fees or complicated logistics?”
In this 2025 updated guide, we’ll walk you through the most efficient and affordable way to forward packages to Singapore — using Buy&Ship Singapore, one of the most trusted parcel forwarding services today.
Why Ship from US, UK, Japan, and Korea?
These four regions dominate the global online shopping scene — and here’s why:
- 🇺🇸 USA: Tech gadgets, supplements, limited sneakers, premium fashion
- 🇬🇧 UK: Designer brands, skincare, baby products, books
- 🇯🇵 Japan: Beauty, anime merch, kitchenware, home electronics
- 🇰🇷 Korea: K-beauty, fashion, lifestyle, food products
Unfortunately, many retailers don’t ship directly to Singapore, or charge high fees for doing so. This is where Buy&Ship comes in.
