International shopping has never been more accessible, thanks to Buy&Ship’s global forwarding network. But did you know that you can earn and use Buy&Ship Credits to make your shipping experience even more rewarding?
Whether you’re a frequent cross-border shopper or just getting started, understanding how the Buy&Ship Credits system works can help you save more, earn more, and ship smarter.
This guide breaks down how Buy&Ship Credits function, how to earn them, and how to use them on your shipments in Singapore.
What Are Buy&Ship Credits?
Buy&Ship Credits are part of our loyalty rewards program that allows users to offset shipping costs using earned credits. Every 1 Credit = SGD $1 in shipping value.
Credits can be earned through:
- Promotions
- Campaigns
- Referral rewards
- Gift card redemption
- Event bonuses
- Customer service goodwill
- Buy&Ship Plus membership incentives
💡 Think of Buy&Ship Credits as shipping cashback, exclusive to active Buy&Ship users.
Why Use Buy&Ship Credits?
Using credits helps you:
- Reduce international shipping costs
- Reward yourself for repeat purchases
- Get more value out of seasonal sales and events
- Maximize the benefits of being a loyal Buy&Ship user
For Singapore users, where international orders often come from Japan, Korea, the US, and beyond, credits can translate to real savings, especially when consolidated shipping is involved.
