Online grocery delivery in Singapore is free once your order clears each store's minimum, and the minimums differ more than the prices. On the stores' own pages, read on 11 October 2026, FairPrice waives delivery from $59 and charges $5 below that, plus a picking and packing service fee that its Digital Club members don't pay on orders of $59 or more. Cold Storage delivers free above $80 and charges $7 below. Sheng Siong and RedMart show their delivery charges at checkout rather than on a public page. All four sell baby items, so one weekly order can cover nappies and wipes too. Below are the fees side by side, how to hit the minimum without overspending, and a routine that saves time.

From each store's own website or help centre, read on 11 October 2026. Fees and promotions change, so check your cart before you pay.

FairPrice also prices its online shelves the same as its stores, according to its help centre, with the service fee covering part of the picking and packing cost. If you order every week, its Digital Club membership gives unlimited free delivery and the service fee waiver on orders of $59 or more.

Which service suits your family

  • A big weekly shop: FairPrice's $59 minimum is the lowest of the stores that publish one, and Digital Club removes the service fee if you shop most weeks.
  • A smaller or premium basket: Cold Storage's $80 threshold suits families who buy more imported produce and baby food anyway.
  • Value staples: Sheng Siong checks your postcode first, since it doesn't cover every area yet, then shows the fee at checkout.
  • Bulk household items: RedMart, inside the Lazada app, is useful for heavy cartons of milk, water and nappies.

Many families mix two: one store for the planned weekly order and a quick top-up elsewhere when the milk runs out midweek. On weeks with no time to cook at all, our guide to family meal delivery compares tingkat and meal plans.

Buying baby items online

Every store above has a baby section: FairPrice's Baby, Child & Toys, Cold Storage's Mother & Baby and Sheng Siong's Mum, Baby & Kids. Nappies, wipes and milk powder are heavy and bulky, which is exactly what you don't want to carry home with a pram, so they're the easiest way to reach a free-delivery minimum. Buy one size of nappy at a time, because babies move up sizes quickly; our diaper size calculator shows when the next size is due.

For formula, our formula cost calculator works out the monthly spend so you can order a month's tins at once. If you're stocking up before the birth, our guide to baby fairs in Singapore covers the big sales.

How to hit the minimum without overspending

  1. Keep a running list on your phone all week, and order once.
  2. Add the heavy, long-life items you'd buy anyway, such as rice, oil, nappies and milk powder, to reach the threshold.
  3. Remember FairPrice works out the $59 on your order subtotal, before delivery and service fees.
  4. Book slots early in public holiday weeks.
  5. Check fresh items on arrival; Cold Storage asks for disputes within 7 days, or 24 hours for fresh items.

A routine that saves time

  • Save a favourites list of weekly staples and reorder it.
  • Pick the same delivery window each week, such as during the baby's nap.
  • Keep a basket by the door for chilled items so they go straight into the fridge.
  • Review the list monthly as your child's food and nappy sizes change.
