If you’re a savvy shopper in Singapore looking to maximise savings while scoring exclusive international products, keeping track of major global shopping events is a must. In this complete 2025 shopping calendar, we spotlight the top worldwide sales that Singaporean buyers should watch — plus how to shop smarter by consolidating your overseas hauls through Buy&Ship.
Why Pay Attention to Global Shopping Events?
Shopping during international sale seasons not only means lower prices but also access to brands and products not widely available in Singapore. From electronics and fashion to household essentials and cosmetics, buying directly from overseas stores can unlock a whole new world of choice.
And thanks to parcel forwarding services like Buy&Ship, it’s easier than ever to shop from countries like the US, Japan, Korea, UK, Australia, and Taiwan — and have everything shipped affordably to your doorstep.
