Before booking

What to check before choosing a courier service
Start with the size and urgency of what you need delivered, and whether you need a one-off booking or a regular business account. These providers publish different pricing models, vehicle options and add-on services. Compare the delivery window, item size limits and what happens if something goes wrong.
Courier scope differs by pricing model and service range
Start with the parcel’s size, weight, contents and required arrival window. GrabExpress and Lalamove publish app-based vehicle or service choices. uParcel also lists dedicated-fleet and fulfilment routes. A same-day label is not an unconditional delivery promise: availability, cut-offs, restrictions and booking terms still apply. Compare the final fare, handling, waiting, failed-delivery process and proof of delivery for the actual job.
Questions to ask before booking a courier
Is the pricing fixed or variable, and what factors affect the final fare?
What vehicle types are available for your item size and weight?
What are the operating hours for same-day delivery?
What insurance or delivery guarantee covers your items, and what is the claim limit?
Does the provider offer business accounts with credit terms or API integration?
Can the service handle temperature-sensitive or high-value items?
Compare the published options
Providers are listed alphabetically, not by quality or paid placement. Each profile is based on the company's own published website at the time of research.
GrabExpress’s Singapore page lists app-based courier choices by vehicle and delivery-request type, including a same-day tier, with tracking and delivery proof.
Why consider it: Its published vehicle tiers cover a range from small documents to bulky items, with a 4-hour same-day option for non-urgent parcels.
May suit: Users comparing an on-demand courier with multiple vehicle sizes and real-time tracking within the Grab app ecosystem.
Before deciding: Check the actual app service, availability, weight and size limits, item restrictions, cut-off and full fare before booking.
Lalamove’s Singapore site lists an on-demand delivery platform with motorcycle, car, van and lorry choices.
Why consider it: Its vehicle menu allows comparison by the load and transport type needed, subject to the actual booking’s limits.
May suit: Users comparing vehicle sizes for local parcels or bulkier loads.
Before deciding: Ask about the actual fare calculation (which varies by traffic, demand and surcharges), whether the driver handles loading, and what insurance covers your items.
uParcel lists Singapore same-day delivery with on-demand and dedicated-fleet routes, alongside separate warehousing and e-commerce fulfilment services.
Why consider it: Its delivery and fulfilment routes let a business compare a single parcel job with ongoing logistics needs.
May suit: Individuals or businesses comparing local delivery and a separate ongoing fulfilment route.
Before deciding: Check the current rate calculator, cut-offs, parcel rules and surcharges. The site currently displays a fuel-surcharge notice, so do not treat a base rate as the final bill.
