Is Pedro Cheaper in Singapore or Malaysia in 2026?

Neither market is always cheaper in 2026: Pedro sets separate prices in Singapore dollars and Malaysian ringgit, so the gap depends on the item, the exchange rate and any sale on each site. For most Singapore shoppers, buying on Pedro's Singapore website is the practical choice, because it bills in S$ and delivers locally, and you can go through ShopBack Singapore before you check out.

New to ShopBack? ShopBack Singapore is a free app and website that returns cash on eligible orders when you start from ShopBack before you pay. Pedro is one of the stores you can shop this way. Join ShopBack Singapore for free, then open the Pedro page on ShopBack before your next order.

The verdict

Compare the same item on Pedro's Singapore and Malaysia websites, convert the ringgit price at today's rate, and only cross the border if the gap is large enough to cover your time, transport and any GST owed when you return. If you are buying online from Singapore, buy on pedroshoes.com with Singapore selected, use an official offer you qualify for, and go through the Pedro page on ShopBack before you pay.

Pedro in 2026: the numbers that matter

Pedro is a Singapore shoe and accessories brand with a regional store network, and it prices each market separately. According to Pedro's own About page, the brand began in 2006 and sells men's and women's footwear and accessories through 109 stores across 19 countries in Asia Pacific, the Middle East and the United States, plus its website, pedroshoes.com. Wikipedia's entry on Charles & Keith describes Pedro as a label launched by Charles & Keith, the Singapore fashion house founded in 1996.

On pedroshoes.com you choose a delivery location first. According to the site, choosing Singapore means your order is billed in Singapore dollars, while choosing Malaysia means it is billed in ringgit. Those are two separate price lists, which is why the same loafer or bag can look cheaper in one market on one day and not on another.

Pedro sits alongside other Singapore shoe and bag labels such as its sister brand Charles & Keith, so if you are comparing prices for a work shoe or an everyday bag, it is worth checking both.

Is Pedro cheaper in Singapore or Malaysia?

There is no fixed answer: Pedro's Malaysia price, converted into Singapore dollars, can be lower or higher than the Singapore price for the same item, depending on the exchange rate and what is on sale in each market. The only reliable way to know is to check the same product on both sites on the same day.

Here is how to compare properly:

1. Open pedroshoes.com with Singapore selected and note the S$ price of the item.
2. Switch the delivery location to Malaysia and find the same item and colour.
3. Convert the ringgit price into Singapore dollars at today's exchange rate, or the rate your card or money changer will actually give you.
4. Check whether either site has a sale or first-purchase offer that you can actually use.
5. Add the cost of getting there and back if you plan to buy in a Malaysian store.

An illustrative example: say a pair of shoes is listed at an illustrative S$129 in Singapore and an illustrative RM399 in Malaysia. At an illustrative rate of RM3.30 to S$1, the Malaysia price works out to about S$121, a gap of S$8. These numbers are only for the maths, not real prices. A gap that small can disappear once you count transport, time and card fees.

Can I buy from Pedro Malaysia online and ship to Singapore?

Not at Malaysian prices: Pedro's website bills in the currency of the delivery location you pick, so a Singapore delivery is billed in Singapore dollars. To pay ringgit prices online you would need a Malaysian delivery address. That is why, for most people in Singapore, the Malaysia price only matters if you are already shopping in a Pedro store across the border.

For online orders delivered in Singapore, the Singapore site is the one to use. At the time of writing, it shows free standard delivery on orders to Singapore, which removes one of the usual reasons to shop across the border.

Buying Pedro in JB: what GST and the S$100 relief mean

If you buy Pedro in Johor Bahru on a day trip, IRAS says your GST import relief is only up to S$100, so anything above that may be taxed at 9% when you come back. According to IRAS, travellers who have been outside Singapore for 48 hours or more get relief of up to S$500, while those away for less than 48 hours get up to S$100. Singapore's current GST rate is 9%.

What this means for a JB shoe haul:

• One pair on a day trip: if the converted price is under S$100 and you have no other shopping, the relief usually covers it.
• Two pairs and a bag on a day trip: the total can pass S$100 quickly, and GST is payable on the amount above the relief limit.
• Longer trips: if you have been away for 48 hours or more, the higher S$500 relief applies.

Bona fide travellers only qualify, according to IRAS, so check the conditions on its page before you travel.

Is Pedro cheaper for tourists in Singapore?

Tourists who shop at participating retailers in Singapore may be able to claim back GST under the electronic Tourist Refund Scheme, which can make the Singapore price lower for them. According to IRAS, you must be 16 or older, not a Singapore Citizen or PR, not holding a work, student or dependant's pass, and spend at least S$100 including GST with the same retailer, with up to three same-day receipts combined.

Ask the store whether it takes part in the scheme before you pay, since only participating retailers can capture your details for a refund. This does not apply to Singapore residents.

Pedro official deals: what the brand itself offers

Pedro's own offers in Singapore include a year-round student discount, a first-purchase offer for new customers and seasonal sales. According to Pedro, its New Gen Programme gives students 10% off when they create an account with their school email. Partner schools listed on its site include NUS, NTU, SMU, SUTD, SIT, SUSS, SIM, LASALLE, NAFA, ITE and the polytechnics.

Both the Singapore and Malaysia sites also show a first-purchase offer for new customers, and the size of that offer differs between the two markets at the time of writing. Offers change, so check the banner on each site on the day you buy rather than relying on last month's numbers.

Seasonal sales are the other big lever. Pedro's Singapore site has a Sale section, and shopping events such as 11.11 and 12.12 are common times for online fashion promotions in Singapore. Dates and depth vary each year.

Pedro cheapest way to save money: tips for Singapore in 2026

The cheapest way to buy Pedro in Singapore is usually to combine a sale or an official offer you qualify for with going through ShopBack before you check out. Ways to keep the price down:

• Compare both markets first. A two-minute check on the Malaysia site tells you whether a trip is even worth thinking about.
• Use the student discount if you can. The New Gen Programme is the one year-round offer on the Singapore site.
• Wait for a sale on items that are not urgent. Check the Sale section on Pedro's Singapore site before you pay full price.
• Check which orders qualify before you go through ShopBack. The terms on the Pedro page on ShopBack explain which purchases count, including whether app orders do.
• Before you check out, go through ShopBack to get a post-purchase discount on the order.

Why ShopBack is a step before you check out on Pedro

Before you check out on Pedro's Singapore website, open ShopBack Singapore, tap the Pedro store and complete the order in the same session. For stores like Pedro, and travel sites 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. On Trip.com, note that promo, coupon, or discount codes make your entire Trip.com order ineligible for Cashback.

Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles.

An illustrative example: on a S$150 Pedro order with an illustrative S$5 back from ShopBack, the price you actually pay works out to S$145. That amount is only for the maths. Check the live amount on the Pedro page on ShopBack before you order.

Pedro promo codes and ShopBack on the same order

Pedro's own codes and ShopBack can sometimes work on the same order, but it depends on the code. Codes featured on the Pedro page on ShopBack, or offered by Pedro itself, are the safe choice, while codes from other coupon sites can stop the order from tracking. Read the terms on the Pedro page on ShopBack before you apply a code.

Pedro, credit card rewards and ShopBack

Paying with your credit card and going through ShopBack usually both count on the same Pedro order, because they are tracked separately. Your card's rewards follow your card's own terms, and ShopBack tracks the visit that starts from its Pedro page. This is not a guarantee for every order: card promotions, payment-partner offers and store terms change, and some offers have their own conditions. Check the terms of your card and of any payment offer before you check out.

When buying in Malaysia does not make sense

• The gap is small. A few dollars rarely covers the time and transport of a cross-border trip.
• You are buying several items on a day trip. Anything above the S$100 GST relief may be taxed when you return.
• You want easy returns. Exchange and return rules can differ by market and by store, so check the policy before you buy across the border.
• The item is on sale in Singapore. A Singapore sale price, bought through ShopBack, can beat a full-price Malaysia tag.

Frequently asked questions

Is Pedro cheaper in Singapore or Malaysia?

Neither is always cheaper. Pedro sets separate prices in Singapore dollars and Malaysian ringgit, so the gap depends on the item, the exchange rate on the day and any sale running on each site. For most Singapore shoppers, buying on Pedro's Singapore website is the practical choice, and going through ShopBack Singapore before you check out lowers what you pay.

Can I buy from Pedro's Malaysia website and ship to Singapore?

Pedro's website bills in the currency of the delivery location you choose. When you pick Singapore, the order is billed in Singapore dollars, and when you pick Malaysia, it is billed in ringgit. To pay ringgit prices online you would need a Malaysian delivery address, so most Singapore shoppers compare the Malaysia price only for in-store buying across the border.

Is it worth buying Pedro shoes in JB?

It can be, but only if the converted price is clearly lower after you count the trip. IRAS says travellers away from Singapore for less than 48 hours get GST import relief of up to S$100, so on a JB day trip anything above that is subject to GST when you return. Compare the same item on both sites before you go.

What official deals does Pedro offer in Singapore?

According to Pedro, its New Gen Programme gives students 10% off when they create an account with an email from a partner school such as NUS, NTU, SMU or the polytechnics. Pedro's Singapore and Malaysia sites also show a first-purchase offer for new customers, and the brand runs seasonal sales. Check the live offers on pedroshoes.com before you buy.

What is the cheapest way to buy Pedro in Singapore?

Buy on Pedro's Singapore website during a sale or with an offer you qualify for, such as the New Gen student discount, and go through the Pedro page on ShopBack Singapore before you check out so you get a post-purchase discount on the order. Use only codes featured on the ShopBack Pedro page or offered by Pedro.

Does ShopBack work with Pedro Malaysia?

The Pedro page on ShopBack Singapore is for orders on Pedro's Singapore website. Open it, tap through to pedroshoes.com, and complete the order in the same session. The terms on that page explain which purchases qualify, so read them before you check out.

Can I use my credit card rewards and ShopBack on the same Pedro order?

Usually, yes. Going through ShopBack before you pay and paying with your card are tracked separately, so your card's rewards follow your card's own terms. Card promotions and payment-partner offers change often, so check the terms of both before you check out.

Is Pedro the same company as Charles & Keith?

Pedro is a sister brand of Charles & Keith, the Singapore fashion label founded in 1996. According to Pedro, it began in 2006 and now sells men's and women's footwear and accessories through 109 stores in 19 countries and online at pedroshoes.com.
