Shipping & Returns  Shipping & Returns

Currently, there are only 2 modes of shipping available: standard and insured shipping.

Standard

For Singapore shipping addresses only!

Standard shipping method is the most basic shipping method as there are no insurance or tracking options. This mode is commonly chosen for lower-value items. As your items will be dropped straight into the mailbox, you don’t have to worry about whether there’s anybody there to receive the items from the postman.

Delivered to: Mailbox
Insurance: No
Tracking Option: No
Speed: About 2 business days

Note:
- Business days refer to SingPost’s operating days and do not include public holidays, Saturdays and Sundays
- Actual shipping speed may vary
- Not applicable to Malaysia shipping addresses
- MinistryofRetail.com is not responsible for any parcel that are damaged or lost in transit.

Insured

Opt for registered shipping method for peace of mind. Items shipped via this mode will be delivered to your doorstep. For a few dollars more, registered shipping offers insurance and tracking option.

Insurance is limited to the declared item value or S$68 (whichever is lower).

A Registered Article (RA) Number will be provided and you can check the status of the parcel easily.

As this option requires someone to get the items from the postman, do ensure someone will be there during the delivery hours. You will be informed via email when your order is being shipped, so you can make the necessary arrangements.

But don’t worry. If nobody is there to receive the mail, the postman will leave a ‘Delivery Advice’ behind. Using this ‘delivery advice’ you can either arrange for a re-delivery or collect the parcel at the post office.

Delivered to: Doorstep (receiver is required to receive the parcel)
Delivery Hours: Mon-Fri 9am-6pm, Saturday 9am-1pm
Insurance: Yes
Tracking Option: Yes
Speed: About 2 business days (Singapore addresses), about 4-6 business days (Malaysia addresses)

Note:
- Business days refer to the post office’s operating days and do not include public holidays, Saturdays and Sundays
- Actual shipping speed may vary
