Why Rates Differ: Understanding What You're Paying For

Speedpost Express (4 working days), Speedpost Economy (35 working days), Speedpost Priority (14 working days)
Basic tracking for most international services exclude for Airmail and surface Mail (need to extra add-on)

EasyParcel Partner Rates Give You:
Choice of couriers: Pick based on your priority—speed (FedEx/UPS) or budget (TracX Logis)
Transparent volumetric calculation: Know exactly what you’re paying for upfront using free volumetric calculator.
Free doorstep pickup: No need to visit the post office.
Real-time tracking dashboard: Monitor all shipments in one place.
The Hidden Factor: Volumetric Weight
Here’s something many shippers don’t realize until they’re at the counter: shipping costs are calculated based on whichever is higher—actual weight or volumetric weight (Length × Width × Height ÷ 5000).
A lightweight but bulky item can cost significantly more than expected if you only weighed it on a scale. EasyParcel’s volumetric calculator calculates volumetric weight for you, make sure you get the accurate rate by comparing both actual weight and volumetric weight before you book.
At a SingPost counter, you might only find out the final cost after waiting in line.
Don’t Queue. Compare. And Ship.
