Everyday when you open your mail box, the letters will be waiting for you. But do you know how it gets there? Well, thanks to SingPost’s invite to their facility, I get to know more about their services and what goes on “behind the scene”.<\/p>\n

Actually, this event, Play Detective<\/strong>, is about sorting out the Postal Codes. During the presentation, I realized that I know so little about SingPost and its services.<\/p>\n

FYI, SingPost is not just about mail, parcel deliveries. It has actually expanded its services in many areas. Here are some of them which I think might be of an interest to you.<\/p>\n

Sample Store<\/span><\/h1>\n

Do you know that SampleStore.com<\/a> is a member of Singapore Post group of companies?<\/p>\n

\"SingPost-P1040650m\"<\/p>\n

So, what is Sample Store<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

It is a website that you can register for free. Once registered, you can request samples of products to try for free (of course there is a handling fee that you need to pay). In this way, you can try out the products first without buying. Below is a simple graphic to show you how it works.<\/p>\n

Next, do you know that there is a gadget shopping site from SingPost? It is called Omigo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Omigo<\/span><\/h1>\n

From my understanding, some products that are not sold in Singapore can be found in this site. There are quite a number of brands and products in it. One of them is the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX.\u00a0 The price will be slightly cheaper (according to SingPost). I have not really compare them.<\/p>\n

As mentioned, there are many more services but I am not going to mention every one of them here. However, I would like to highlight one service which I think is very good and if you are a blogshop owner, this might be very useful.<\/p>\n

SmartPac<\/span><\/h1>\n

Check out the SingPost SmartPac<\/strong>. It is a box that you can put your items up to 3kg to be delivered anywhere in Singapore in the next working day. You will only need to pay S$4.70 for it. Here is a video about SmartPac.<\/p>\n
