Can I Buy From Shopee Malaysia and Ship to Singapore in 2026?

Not directly: Shopee says each country's app delivers within that country, so the Malaysian Shopee app ships to Malaysian addresses, not Singapore. For Singapore delivery, Shopee's Singapore help centre points you to Shopee Singapore's overseas sellers, whose listings carry a "Shipping from overseas" label. According to Shopee Singapore at the time of writing, overseas orders usually arrive within 9 to 25 working days.

ShopBack Singapore is a free website and app that gives you money back when you shop at partner stores such as Shopee, AliExpress and Marks & Spencer. Before you check out, go through ShopBack: open the store from ShopBack, shop as usual, and part of what you spend comes back as cash. Join ShopBack Singapore for free, then start your next order from the Shopee page on ShopBack.

The verdict

If you want something sold in Malaysia, search for it on Shopee Singapore and filter to overseas sellers, rather than trying to check out on the Malaysian app. For brands with a Singapore store, such as Marks & Spencer, buying locally at marksandspencer.sg is the simplest route. For Korean beauty, stores that ship from Korea to Singapore themselves, such as Olive Young Global and Althea, are usually the cheapest once you meet their free-shipping minimum. For AliExpress, delivery time depends on the option you pick, and Buyer Protection covers you if an order misses its guaranteed window.

Whichever store you pick, the order of steps is the same: compare the delivered price, look for the store's own promo code, then go through ShopBack before you pay.

Can I buy from Shopee Malaysia and ship to Singapore?

No, not from the Malaysian app itself; Shopee Singapore's help centre says you need the Shopee app for the country you want delivery in. Shopee's own example is buying something for someone in Indonesia: you would use Indonesia's Shopee app. That means the Malaysian app is for Malaysian addresses.

What you can do instead, according to Shopee Singapore at the time of writing:

• Buy from overseas sellers on Shopee Singapore. Overseas orders are only valid when you buy from sellers registered to sell overseas products on Shopee Singapore. Their product pages show a "Shipping from overseas" label, so check the ship-from location on the listing.
• Expect a longer wait. Shopee says overseas orders usually arrive within 9 to 25 working days, and its doorstep delivery for overseas orders within 5 to 10 working days, excluding public holidays. Customs clearance and weather can add time.
• Choose how it reaches you. Once a parcel lands in Singapore, Shopee delivers it by Standard Doorstep Delivery (International) or to a Shopee Collection Point or Pick Locker, which Shopee says takes up to 3 working days after arrival.
• Look for the 5-day filter. Selected overseas sellers from China, Korea and Indonesia offer Express Doorstep Delivery (International). Shopee says these arrive within 5 working days of shipping for orders paid before 2pm.

Before you check out on Shopee, go through ShopBack Singapore first. Overseas-seller items sit in the same Shopee Singapore cart, so the steps do not change. Check which items are eligible on Shopee's ShopBack page.

Shopee Malaysia vs Shopee Singapore: the cheapest way to shop

The cheapest way is usually to compare the delivered price of the same item on Shopee Singapore, including shipping and GST, rather than the sticker price alone. A Malaysian price can look lower, but the item still has to reach Singapore.

A simple order of steps that works on Shopee:

1. Compare the delivered price. Check the same item from a local seller and an overseas seller, with shipping included.
2. Claim Shopee's own vouchers. Shopee runs free-shipping and platform vouchers in the app; its help centre explains how to claim them. Big double-date sales such as 11.11 and 12.12 are usually when vouchers are richest.
3. Go through ShopBack before you pay. Open Shopee from ShopBack and finish the order in the same session.
4. Pay with your usual card. Your card's rewards follow your bank's terms.

ShopBack works like an automatic cash discount on your online order. The money comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles. That gives you an easy effective price to compare: what you pay minus what ShopBack returns. The rate on each store is shown on its ShopBack page.

Other big online stores Singapore shoppers use for overseas items include Lazada, Taobao, Amazon and SHEIN.

Does Marks & Spencer ship to Singapore?

Yes: Marks & Spencer has a Singapore online store at marksandspencer.sg, which says orders are usually delivered in 2 to 3 working days. At the time of writing, the Singapore site also offers 10% off your first order.

Because it is a local store, you do not have to think about overseas shipping times or import GST on a parcel. The Singapore site sells M&S fashion, and its own pages are the place to check current ranges and delivery fees.

Tips for paying less at M&S Singapore:

• Use the first-order offer once. Plan a bigger first order to make the most of it, while it is offered. Check the terms on the ShopBack page before you use any code.
• Watch the season changes. Clothing retailers usually mark down the outgoing season, so end-of-season sales are a good time for basics.
• Go through ShopBack before your M&S order. Open the Marks & Spencer page on ShopBack, click through, and check out as normal. The live rate is on that page.

What's the cheapest way to ship from Korea to Singapore?

For most shoppers, the cheapest way is to buy from a Korean store that ships to Singapore itself and to meet its free-shipping minimum, so you skip forwarding fees altogether. Here is what two well-known Korean beauty stores publish at the time of writing:

Store	Shipping to Singapore (per the store)	Notes
Olive Young Global	Free on orders over USD 60; USD 5 below that	Packing usually takes 1 to 3 business days before shipping
Althea Singapore	Free on orders above S$29	Ships from Korea; prices shown in S$

Olive Young says the free-shipping minimum is based on the actual purchase payment, which it defines as the product total excluding discounts, points, shipping fees and taxes, so check your cart total after any promo code.

Other routes and when they fit:

• Shopee Singapore's Korean overseas sellers. Some offer the Express Doorstep Delivery (International) option, which Shopee says arrives within 5 working days of shipping.
• A parcel forwarder. Useful for stores that do not ship to Singapore, but Singapore Customs notes that a GST-registered forwarder may charge GST on the goods and on its service fees, so the total can climb.

Olive Young vs Althea on price: compare the same product's delivered price on both, then look at which free-shipping minimum your cart already meets. A store that looks a little dearer can work out cheaper once shipping and the money back from ShopBack are counted. Olive Young and Althea both have pages on ShopBack Singapore, so go through ShopBack before you pay.

Here is an illustrative example with an Althea cart. The ShopBack rate is illustrative only; the live rate is on the store's ShopBack page:

Step	Amount
Cart of Korean skincare	S$60.00
Shipping (above the S$29 free-shipping minimum)	S$0.00
ShopBack back at an illustrative rate of 5%	S$3.00
Effective price	S$57.00

How long does AliExpress take to deliver to Singapore?

AliExpress delivery to Singapore depends on the seller and the delivery option you choose, so the estimate on the product page is the number to go by. AliExpress shows a guaranteed delivery window on each order's detail page, and its Buyer Protection refunds you if the item does not arrive within that window, according to AliExpress at the time of writing.

How to get your AliExpress order faster:

• Compare the delivery options on the listing. Faster options usually cost more, so weigh the price against the estimated date.
• Check where it ships from. The ship-from location on the listing affects how long it takes.
• Track it in the app. The order detail page shows tracking and the guaranteed delivery window, which is the date that matters for Buyer Protection.

AliExpress refund policy and customer service

According to AliExpress's Buyer Protection page, you can get a refund if:

• your item did not arrive or was lost in transit within the guaranteed delivery window on the order detail page, or
• it arrived damaged, short or not as described, and you raise it within 15 days of receiving it.

The process starts in the app: contact the seller from the order, then file a return or refund request under My orders. AliExpress says its free return service applies within 15 days of delivery.

Before you pay for an AliExpress order, go through ShopBack. Open the AliExpress page on ShopBack, click through and check out in the same session.

GST on overseas orders in Singapore

For most overseas orders of S$400 or less, GST is charged at checkout when the seller or marketplace is GST-registered, according to Singapore Customs. The rules at the time of writing:

• Low-value goods are items with a sales value of S$400 or less, sent into Singapore by air or post.
• Sales value is the item price only. Shipping, insurance, GST and duty are left out. Customs' example: an S$395 item with S$25 shipping has a sales value of S$395.
• GST-registered seller: GST is included at checkout and not charged again at import. Each item of S$400 or less is assessed on its own, even if the shipment is worth more.
• Seller not GST-registered: GST is collected at import only if the shipment's total value, including freight and insurance, is over S$400.
• Charged twice? Pay the import GST to receive the parcel, then ask the seller for a refund with your proof of payment.

So the delivered price you compare should include GST where it applies.

Can you use a credit card as well?

You can usually pay with your rewards credit card on an overseas order and still go through ShopBack first, because the two come from different places. Your bank pays card rewards on what you are charged, and some cards treat foreign-currency transactions differently, so check your card's terms. Some store promo codes or payment methods can affect ShopBack eligibility, so read the terms on the store's ShopBack page before you pay.

How ShopBack fits into overseas shopping

ShopBack Singapore works like an automatic cash discount on your online order. You go through ShopBack before you check out, and after the order is confirmed, cash comes back to your ShopBack account, which you can withdraw. It lowers what you actually pay, like a discount on the price, not like points or miles.

It is the same step as for travel. For merchants like Booking.com, Trip.com, Agoda and Expedia, going through ShopBack is an essential step before you book or check out, so you pay less on the same booking or order. Overseas shopping works the same way on Shopee, AliExpress and Marks & Spencer.
