The best courier services in Singapore cover very different needs, from instant on-demand pickups by motorbike to islandwide e-commerce parcel delivery, temperature-controlled shipments and international express. Some are on-demand apps you book in minutes; others are parcel networks built around online sellers, warehousing and tracking. This guide rounds up ten established options and explains what each one does best so you can match a courier to your delivery.

1. Ninja Van

Ninja Van is a Singapore-headquartered courier best known for last-mile e-commerce parcel delivery, both islandwide and across Southeast Asia. The company says it works on a pay-as-you-go basis with no minimum volume, and its services extend to temperature-controlled deliveries, business restocking and warehousing. Online sellers can connect through Shopify and its API for bulk order creation and tracking.

2. SingPost

SingPost is Singapore's national postal operator, handling domestic parcel delivery within Singapore as well as international courier shipments under its Speedpost service. It provides tracked parcels, SmartPac prepaid packaging, and a broad network of post offices, posting boxes and collection points for dropping off and picking up items. Parcels can be tracked online or through its mobile app.

3. Lalamove

Lalamove is an on-demand delivery app offering same-day, point-to-point courier service islandwide. Users book by vehicle size, from motorcycles for documents and small parcels up to vans and 10-to-24-foot lorries for bulky items and heavier loads, with chilled delivery available on selected larger vehicles. For businesses it provides e-commerce integrations, an API and customised solutions alongside real-time tracking.

4. GrabExpress

GrabExpress is the parcel-delivery arm of the Grab app, offering on-demand courier service islandwide through an instant option and a non-urgent four-hour option. Senders pick a bike for documents, small parcels and packed food, a car for fragile or larger items, or a larger vehicle for appliances and bulky goods. Deliveries include live GPS tracking and photo proof of delivery, with dedicated options for merchants.

5. J&T Express

J&T Express runs door-to-door parcel delivery within Singapore alongside cross-border shipping to many overseas markets. It is geared towards e-commerce sellers, with integrations for marketplaces such as Shopee, Lazada and Shopify, plus fulfilment, warehousing and a network of J&T Point drop-off and collection locations. Parcels are tracked online and through its app; the site does not advertise a fixed same-day service.

6. UParcel

UParcel is an on-demand courier offering same-day, door-to-door delivery islandwide, with a cold-chain option for temperature-sensitive items. It says it uses flat-rate pricing with no minimum orders and can assign a dedicated fleet for businesses with regular volumes. Beyond delivery it provides warehousing and fulfilment, including handling for medical-device distribution, and connects to platforms such as Shopify and Shopee through its API.

7. Park N Parcel

Park N Parcel focuses on last-mile e-commerce parcel delivery across Singapore, typically within one to three working days according to the company. Recipients can also send or collect parcels through its islandwide network of Parker Point locations. For merchants it adds warehousing and fulfilment, bulk order upload and label printing, real-time tracking and electronic proof of delivery.

8. Pickupp

Pickupp is an on-demand courier and fulfilment provider covering Singapore, with delivery tiers spanning express and same-day (two- to four-hour) service through to standard one-to-three-day delivery. It also offers warehousing and fulfilment, service points for drop-off, food-and-beverage delivery and cross-border shipping. Merchants can plug in through its API and fleet-management tools.

9. GogoX

GogoX, formerly GoGoVan, is an on-demand delivery and transport app well suited to larger and bulkier loads. Alongside motorcycles and cars for documents and small parcels, it offers vans and 10-to-24-foot lorries for furniture, appliances, palletised goods and bulk e-commerce deliveries, and it runs residential and office moving services. Businesses can set up accounts and integrate via its API.

10. DHL Express

DHL Express is the international courier arm of DHL, specialising in time-definite, door-to-door express delivery from Singapore to more than 220 countries and territories. Through its MyDHL+ platform, senders can create shipments, get quotes, schedule pickups and track parcels, with customs-clearance support for cross-border shipping. It is aimed at both individual senders and businesses rather than islandwide same-day local delivery.

How to choose

  • Match the service to the job: on-demand apps that book a bike or van suit urgent same-day and bulky point-to-point drops, while parcel networks are better for high volumes of e-commerce orders.
  • Check the delivery window you actually need - instant, same-day, next-day or standard one-to-three days - as pricing and availability differ sharply between them.
  • If you ship temperature-sensitive items, fragile goods or bulky furniture, confirm the courier explicitly handles cold-chain, careful handling or the right vehicle size.
  • For online stores, look at e-commerce features such as marketplace and Shopify integrations, an API, bulk label printing, fulfilment and warehousing, and proof-of-delivery tracking.
  • Compare total cost and coverage, including surcharges, insurance or liability limits and pickup options, and get written confirmation of timings before committing to a regular contract.
