Let's find out more about different SingPost shipping and tracking services.

SingPost Registered Mail Tracking

SingPost registered service accepts postcards, letters, and printed papers of up to 500g sent within Singapore. When sending with the service internationally, you can send up to 2kg as long as the registered mail service is available in the destination country.

The basic postage charges for the service may vary over time, but sending via registered service comes at a fixed registration fee of $2.27 when sending within Singapore and $3.60 when sending internationally. To ensure its customers peace of mind, SingPost Registered Mail features limited tracking capabilities for both domestic and international delivery.

But when using the company's registered service for international packages, SingPost guarantees status updates through the tracking tool from dispatch to the destination country. You must also note that the delivery tracking of international registered mail may also not be available once the mail is passed on to SingPost's delivery partner in the destination country.

SingPost Parcel Tracking

SingPost's Parcel service is a cost-effective local delivery service that gets small packages of no more than 2kg delivered within 2 working days.

The company updates the recipient when the package is ready for delivery and after its successful delivery at the designated letterbox. SingPost may attempt a doorstep delivery if the recipient's letterbox is full. If the delivery fails after 2 attempts, the parcel is held at a SingPost facility for up to 5 working days. If not collected, SingPost will return the package to the sender as long as clear details of the sender are provided. In this case, SingPost states that there won't be any redirection of the parcel to new addresses or subsequent delivery attempts to the indicated recipient.

SingPost also offers a 24/7 tracking system with which customers can inquire about the whereabouts of their tracked parcels. The tracking system is accessible in the SingPost app and on the SingPost website. If you want to automate SingPost tracking for your online store, ParcelPanel is the best SingPost parcel tracking service you should choose.

SingPost International Tracking

SingPost's international service delivers to over 220 countries worldwide via Ordinary Mail, Registered Service, or Speedpost. Although the company reassures fast delivery times for parcels sent via the service, the exact transit times may vary depending on customs inspections and the destination country.

Once the packages are booked for shipment across Singapore's borders, the company issues a copy of the shipping label or consignment notes. Except for Ordinary time, customers will be provided a SingPost tracking number so they can effortlessly track their packages.

SingPost also issues Proof of Delivery for interested customers who need it. However, this is only available 5 working days after its initial inquiry.

SingPost Smartpac Tracking

SingPost's Smartpac service is a postage-paid packaging with guaranteed tracking features. After packing their Smartpac items, customers need to post them to any street posting box or the SingPosts post office.

Posting the parcels must, however, be within SingPost's collection time, and the company will get the parcel delivered within 2 working days if it is posted before the collection time.

However, Smartpac service is limited to deliveries within Singapore's main islands, including Sentosa Island and Jurong Island. The Smartpac delivery service is not available within off-shore islands.

SingPost ensures customers can track parcels sent via the service through the SingPost Track Item tool on the official SingPost website, in the SingPost mobile app, or on professional shipment tracking websites like ParcelPanel.

SingPost EMS Tracking (SingPost Speedpost Tracking)

SingPost's EMS service is fast, with guaranteed doorstep collection and delivery across Singapore. Slightly different from other services, the EMS service delivers 6 days a week from Monday to Saturday.

However, the exact transit times for the service vary depending on the specific Speedpost category the customer chooses. Speedpost Standard delivers parcels sent through the EMS service in 1 working day. The parcel must, however, be at most 30 kg.

Speedpost Express service, on the other hand, delivers within 2 hours of the doorstep collection. This service, too, comes with a weight limit of up to 5kg.

In comparison, there are 3 SingPost Speedpost international services, namely, Speedpost Express, Speedpost Economy, and Speedpost Priority. They mainly differ in the delivery time.

The service is also integrated with real-time tracking features that ensure customers can comfortably track the whereabouts of their parcels. The tracking system is embedded in SingPost's website and the Mobile app, ensuring every customer's peace of mind throughout the delivery process.
