To save on online furniture shopping in Singapore, time big pieces to the double-date sales such as 11.11 and 12.12, compare the same item on Shopee, Lazada and Taobao, and add delivery and assembly before you judge the price.

How do I save on online shopping for furniture in Singapore?

Five habits do most of the work: buy in a sale, compare the same model, count the full delivered price, check returns, and start on ShopBack before you pay. Furniture is a big, infrequent purchase, so a small percentage off a sofa or a bed frame is worth more in dollars than the same percentage off everyday shopping.

1. Shortlist early, buy in a sale. Note the exact model, size and colour you want a few weeks ahead, then wait for a sale window.
2. Compare the same item across platforms. The same bed frame can be listed by several sellers on Shopee, Lazada and Taobao at different prices.
3. Count the full price. Add delivery, assembly, disposal of your old piece and any lift or staircase charges before you compare.
4. Check the return window. Large items are harder to send back, so read the listing's return terms first.
5. Start on ShopBack, then shop at the store as usual. This is the step that lowers what you actually pay on eligible orders.

The rest of this guide goes through each of these in detail.

Furniture sale Singapore: when the discounts usually land

The biggest online furniture discounts in Singapore usually come during the double-date sales. Shopee and Lazada run platform-wide sales on dates like 9.9, 10.10, 11.11 and 12.12, and many furniture sellers on those platforms join them. Furniture stores also run their own date-based sales; HipVan, for example, runs storewide sales around the double dates and offers bundle savings when you buy pieces that go together, according to its site at the time of writing.

How to use the sale calendar well:

• Plan big pieces around 11.11 and 12.12. These are usually the largest sale days of the year on the big platforms, which makes them a good target for sofas, wardrobes and dining sets.
• Use the smaller double dates for smaller items. Side tables, shelves, lamps and storage often see good prices in the monthly double-date sales.
• Add to cart early. Popular sizes and colours can sell out on sale days, and delivery slots fill up.
• Watch delivery lead times. If you are moving into a new flat, check the delivery date before you pay so the bed arrives before you do.

For a full list of sale dates and what to buy at each, see the Singapore sale calendar.

Furniture sale Singapore 2026: best deals checklist

Good furniture deals in 2026 come from combining good timing with a careful comparison, not from one code. Run through this short checklist before you pay:

• Same model, three places. Check Shopee, Lazada and Taobao for the exact model or a close match.
• Seller type. On Shopee, look at whether the listing is in Shopee Mall, which has its own return terms (more on that below). On Lazada, LazMall is the brand store section.
• Delivery and assembly. Some sellers include them, others charge separately. Count both.
• Measurements. Measure doorways, lift doors and the space itself. A return because a sofa does not fit the lift costs time and sometimes money.
• Return window. Read the listing's terms before you pay.
• Start on ShopBack. Open the Shopee page on ShopBack, the Lazada page on ShopBack or the Taobao page on ShopBack, tap through and check out as normal.

Shopee vs Lazada for furniture: how to compare prices in 2026

Neither Shopee nor Lazada is cheaper for furniture every time, so compare the same piece on both. Both have a wide range of furniture from local and overseas sellers, and both run vouchers and sale days. The final price you pay depends on the seller, the vouchers running that day, the delivery fee and whether assembly is included.

A fair price comparison looks like this:

• Same product. Match the model, size, material and colour, not just a photo that looks similar.
• Same delivery. Compare the delivered price, with assembly if you need it.
• Same vouchers. Apply the platform vouchers you would actually use on each side.
• Same last step. Whichever platform wins, start on ShopBack before you check out, so the effective price drops there too.

Lazada also has a Taobao section on its Singapore site, so you may see some Taobao items while you browse Lazada. Treat each listing on its own and compare the delivered price.

Shopee, Lazada and Taobao for furniture in Singapore

Use the big platforms to compare prices quickly, and furniture stores for curated ranges and showrooms. A practical shortlist is Shopee, Lazada and Taobao, plus furniture stores such as HipVan, FortyTwo and Megafurniture. All of these have store pages on ShopBack Singapore.

• Shopee: wide choice from many sellers; Shopee Mall listings come with Shopee's Mall terms.
• Lazada: wide choice, with LazMall for brand stores and a Taobao section on the Singapore site.
• Taobao: a very large range, including styles that can be hard to find locally. Taobao (Singapore) E-Commerce Pte. Ltd. is listed on Taobao's site as its Singapore company.
• Furniture stores: HipVan, FortyTwo and Megafurniture sell furniture directly online, which can make it easier to see collections that match.

Returns on Shopee Mall: what the terms say

At the time of writing, Shopee's Mall terms let buyers request a return or refund within 15 calendar days after the item was first made available for delivery. Shopee calls this the Free Return Period. The terms also say the item must be sent back within 10 calendar days of raising the request, and no later than the last day of that period.

For furniture this matters more than for small items. Returning a sofa or a bed frame is harder than returning a T-shirt, so:

• Read the return terms on the listing before you pay.
• Inspect the item as soon as it arrives, while the window is open.
• Keep the packaging until you are sure the piece is staying.

Shopee's general return policy also lists situations where a return or refund can be requested, such as receiving an item that does not match the agreed specification, or an item that is defective. Measuring carefully and checking the specification before you buy is the easiest way to avoid that situation.

Taobao furniture: check the delivered price first

Taobao can be good value for furniture you cannot find locally, but compare the delivered price. Shipping a bulky item from overseas can add a lot to the cost and usually takes longer than local delivery. Before you buy:

• Check the shipping fee and estimated delivery time for your exact item.
• Check whether assembly is needed and whether instructions are included.
• Compare the total with a similar piece from a Singapore seller.

If Taobao still wins, open the Taobao page on ShopBack before you check out.

Try it in person, then buy online

For pieces you sit or sleep on, try them in a showroom first, then compare prices online. A few Singapore furniture stores have showrooms you can visit:

• HipVan lists its showroom at Blk B #01-08, Clarke Quay.
• Megafurniture says its Joo Seng flagship at 134 Joo Seng Road has over 30,000 sq ft of furniture and furnishings on display.

Note the exact model name, then search for it online before you buy, so you are comparing the same piece.

Start on ShopBack, then shop at the store as usual

Start on ShopBack, then shop at the store as usual. ShopBack works like an automatic cash discount on your online order. It takes a few seconds:

1. Open the ShopBack Singapore app or website.
2. Search for Shopee, Lazada or Taobao, or open its store page from this guide.
3. Tap through and check out as normal.
4. Once the order is confirmed, the cash is tracked to your ShopBack account.

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.

Rates differ by store, so check the live rate on the store's ShopBack page before you tap through.

Vouchers, codes and ShopBack

You do not need a code to get Cashback; going through ShopBack before you pay is the essential step. Platform vouchers and sale prices are part of how you get a good price on furniture.

---

Paying for furniture with a credit card

Card rewards and ShopBack Cashback come from different places: card rewards come from your bank, and Cashback comes from going through ShopBack before you pay. Card rewards depend on your card's terms. Some cards treat marketplace spend differently, and an order charged in a foreign currency may carry a bank fee, so check both before you pay.
