Local online sellers now have a way to send packages to customers even if they were not ordered on the Amazon platform. The online giant has decided to get into the local and cross-border logistics as a service business, which it calls Amazon Easy Ship” The service was launched in February, having been piloted by Hyper Singapore, which is the authorised local distributor for HyperJuice and HyperDrive, and Momo Gadgets which is a seller of branded phones, accessories, electronics, and lifestyle products. Unlike the postal service, Amazon charges a flat fee per delivery based on the size of the parcel.
Amazon has noticed the number of Singaporean sellers in its local and international stores jumping over 45% between 2019 and 2021, on top of the 25% increase in sellers who are already exporting their products with the platform.
