It wasn’t that long ago that if you wanted some groceries, you’d have to visit one of the big supermarket chains in person and carry back your purchases on foot or in a car. However, in the last 10 years there’s been an explosion in the number of online providers through which you can buy your grocery products in Singapore – and best of all, you get delivery direct to your door. In fact, there are now so many that it would be almost impossible to mention them all so here, in no particular order, are BusyKidd‘s 19 favourite grocery delivery services that serve households across the nation.
Redmart-Lazada

One of the trailblazers for online grocery shopping in Singapore, Redmart (officially Redmart-Lazada) has been delivering since 2011. This online supermarket offers everything from cleaning products to party supplies and you get free delivery on orders above $60 (or $40 for LiveUp members). One special feature is that you can amend your orders after you’ve placed them, as long as they haven’t already started packing your order.
Fairprice

As one of the more budget-priced grocery stores, Fairprice can be a great online portal for doing your weekly shopping. As with Redmart-Lazada, orders over $60 are delivered free. Fairprice stocks everything most you could need and it even has seasonal product offerings, including for festivals such as Hari Raya.
Cold Storage
Generally regarded as a premium provider of groceries, Cold Storage was the first major supermarket in Singapore when it opened its doors in 1903, nearly a century before the first online retailers. Nowadays Cold Storage has an easy-to-use online portal that covers almost every product from beer to organic vegetables. Deliveries for orders over $80 are free.
Open Taste

Open Taste is a grocery store that is so confident about the freshness of its foods that it offers a money-back guarantee. One of its taglines is ‘picked yesterday, packed at midnight, delivered this morning’. Open Taste works directly with growers and offers fruits and vegetables, meat and dairy, seafood, snacks, and even alcohol. Delivery is free for orders over $100 unless you’re a premium member in which case free delivery starts at orders over $49.
Little Farms

Another online grocer that prides itself on its fresh produce, Little Farms works with independent suppliers and farmers across the world. Its website is easy to navigate and even allows you to search by diet type. Delivery is free for orders over $100.
Avo & Co.

If you want to buy fresh fruit and vegetables but don’t want the hassle of thinking what to order, Avo & Co. offers a subscription service that delivers weekly boxes of seasonable produce. You can also add on non-plant products such as hormone-free chicken and sustainably-produced eggs. Delivery is free with the subscription service.
All For you
Generally regarded as a budget supermarket retailer, Sheng Siong has an online portal called ‘All for You’ where customers can shop from its wide range of goods. One special feature is that you can choose to support local providers by ordering eggs and other produce that are sourced from within Singapore. However, a downside is that All for You does not yet deliver to all areas of Singapore.
Le Petit Depot

If you’re a big fan of French produce, this website will be like an Aladdin’s cave for you. Le Petit Depot is an online grocer that specializes in all things French, from fresh cheeses to frozen pastries and fresh steaks. Le Petit Depot offers free next day delivery for orders above $100.
German Market Place

Alternatively, if it’s all things German that you crave, German Market Place has got you covered. As well as foods it stocks German toiletries and even has a section for products from its neighbouring country, Holland. Make sure you order in bulk though, as customers have to pay for deliveries under $150.
Scoop Wholefoods

Scoop Wholefoods originated in Sydney as a sustainable store where customers could buy wholefoods that were sold with minimal packaging. With a focus on organic produce, Scoop offers fresh foods by weight as well as eco-friendly products for the home. You can also buy seasonal hampers and shop by diet and lifestyle. Orders over $50 are delivered free of charge.
Sasha’s Fine Foods
Opening in 2011, Sashas’s Fine Foods was the brainchild of a British immigrant who wanted to provide ‘exceptional food, expertly sourced’. Her online store now offers a wide range of foods that include meat, seafood, dairy, eggs, fruit, and vegetables. Deliveries are free above $100.
The Fishwives

The Fishwives is another provider that prides itself on selling products that have been sustainably and ethically farmed. Despite its name, this online provider sells more than just seafood, with its wide range of goods including butchery, deli products and fresh fruit and vegetables. The Fishwives offers free delivery for orders over $130.
The Alaska Guys

In contrast to the Fishwives, The Alaska Guys only sell seafoods at their online store. Here you can find everything maritime, from fresh Alaska salmon (guaranteed to have been caught in the wild) and crab to canned sardines and frozen prawns. The Alaska Guys only offer free delivery for orders over $200, so it pays to stock up your freezer.
Amazon Fresh

As one of the most famous online retailers on the planet, it’s perhaps no surprise that Amazon has a portal that focus on groceries. Unsurprisingly the range of available products is huge. With Amazon Prime membership you get free delivery with no minimum purchase value for orders shipped within Singapore.
Best Organic Food

Best Organic Food is aimed at shoppers who only want to purchase organic produce. It guarantees that its food, solely from suppliers in Australia, New Zealand and the United States, is 100% organic and pesticide-free. Shipping is free for orders with a value over $50.
Phoon Huat
Famous within Singapore for its shops that sell a vast array of high quality yet economically-priced baking products, Phoon Huat also offers its products via its online portal, RedmanShop. Here you can find everything you’d ever need to bake, ice, or decorate your baked product. Orders over $88 are eligible for free delivery.
Huber’s Butchery
For unashamed carnivores, Huber’s Butchery is a treasure-trove of meat-based delights, from fresh angus fillets to frozen rabbit legs. However, despite its name, Huber’s offers a range of non-meat products that include pasta, pastries and cakes, cheese, and alcoholic beverages.
Good Food People
At the other end of the spectrum, Good Food People is a company that deals exclusively in 100% plant-based products that are produced on a daily basis in their Singapore kitchen. These include ready-made meals to heat at home, as well as healthy beverages.
Pandamart by Food Panda
Pandamart by Food Panta offers a delivery service for groceries that you can choose from local shops. Pandamart is a convenience grocery shopping provider so, unsurprisingly, delivery is more expensive on a per-item basis. However, orders can be submitted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and can be delivered in times as short as 30 minutes.
With these and many more online grocery stores in Singapore, there is no reason why you shouldn’t be able to source a vast array of products, whatever your budget or requirements. It pays to check out the delivery conditions as most providers offer free delivery above a minimum purchase value. Happy grocery shopping!
