SingPost, the national postal service provider in Singapore, may charge handling fees for various services and transactions. These handling fees can vary depending on the specific service you are using and the type of transaction. Here are some examples of common handling fees that SingPost may charge:
- Registered Mail Handling Fee: If you choose to send a letter or package as registered mail, an additional handling fee, typically around SGD 2.24, is charged on top of the regular postage rate. Registered mail provides added security and tracking features.
- Parcel Collection Handling Fee: SingPost may charge a handling fee for parcels that are not collected within a specified time frame from the local post office. The fee can vary, and it’s essential to collect your parcels promptly to avoid additional charges.
- Mail Redelivery Handling Fee: If you request redelivery of mail or parcels that were unsuccessfully delivered, a handling fee may be charged. The fee can vary based on the service level and the nature of the redelivery request.
- Financial Services Handling Fees: SingPost offers various financial services, such as money transfers and remittances, which may involve handling fees. The specific fees can depend on the type of transaction and the amount being sent.
- Philatelic Products Handling Fee: For collectors of postage stamps and philatelic products, there may be handling fees associated with the purchase and delivery of these items.
It’s important to note that handling fees and charges may change over time, so I recommend checking the official SingPost website or contacting SingPost directly for the most up-to-date information on handling fees for specific services or transactions. Additionally, the specific handling fees may vary based on the service package you select and any additional features or options you choose.
