Does Etsy Ship to Singapore? How Com&Buy Can Help You

While Etsy does ship to Singapore, not all sellers provide international delivery. Many overseas shops only offer domestic shipping within their own country, which means Singaporean shoppers may miss out on the unique handmade, vintage, or personalised items they’re looking for.

This is where a package forwarding service becomes especially helpful. With a reliable package forwarder like Com&Buy, you can shop from any Etsy store, even those that don’t ship internationally, and have your purchases forwarded to your doorstep in Singapore.

Why Do People Shop on Etsy?

Etsy is a curated global marketplace where independent creators, artisans, vintage resellers, and small businesses showcase products you won’t typically find on mainstream e-commerce sites. While Etsy Singapore offers access to local shops, shoppers are typically drawn to the platform because of its one-of-a-kind items from talented makers around the world. Some of their common product categories include:

• Handmade jewellery: Statement earrings, gemstone bracelets, and personalised necklaces
• Vintage home décor: Retro lamps, antique ceramics, and mid-century collectables
• Art & illustration: Custom portraits, digital art prints, and handmade sculptures
• Custom gifts: Engraved items, monogrammed pieces, and personalised stationery

Tips on Shopping Smart on Etsy

If you’re shopping on Etsy for the first time or simply want to save more while shopping, consider these useful tips so you can get the best value out of your Etsy shopping experience.

1. Filter by “On Sale”

Many Etsy sellers offer seasonal promotions, flash sales, or special discounts. By using the “On Sale” filter or setting a custom price range, you can quickly:

• Spot the best deals
• Compare similar products from different shops
• Stick to your budget without compromising on quality

2. Look for Free Domestic Shipping

You might come across Etsy sellers who offer free domestic shipping within their own country when the items you plan to buy reach a certain threshold. If you’re shopping from sellers based in the United States, Germany, or other regions, you can ship the items to a Com&Buy warehouse address in that country. This allows you to:

• Enjoy free domestic delivery
• Avoid higher international postage fees from the seller
• Pay only for the forwarding cost to Singapore

3. Check Shipping Policies Carefully

Always review the seller’s shipping information before completing your purchase. This is important because:

• Some shops do not ship internationally
• Other Etsy shops may ship overseas, but the cost of international shipping may be higher
• Delivery times vary widely depending on the seller’s location and the courier

If a shop doesn’t ship to Singapore or international shipping costs are too high, consider partnering with Com&Buy and leveraging our Ship For Me or Buy For Me service.

How to Shop on Etsy with Com&Buy’s Ship For Me Service

If you prefer to purchase items directly from Etsy and have them shipped to one of Com&Buy’s overseas warehouses before being forwarded to Singapore, our Ship For Me service makes the process simple. This is how you can get started:

1. Create an Etsy Account

To create an Etsy account, start with the following:

Visit Etsy.com. Then, click “Sign In” at the top right corner of the page.

You can log in using your Gmail, Facebook, or Apple account. If you want to register manually, you can provide your email address, name, and password on their online registration form.

Start browsing by exploring categories or using the search bar to find the items you love

2. Add Items to Cart

Once you find a product you like:

Click “Add to Cart.”

Review the seller’s shipping policy and the shipping origin. You can adjust the “Deliver to” section to see how long it will take for the item to arrive at your location.

Then, continue adding all your chosen items before checking out.

3. Fill in Your Com&Buy Warehouse Address

If the seller does not ship to Singapore, you can still receive your items by using your Com&Buy warehouse address. Make sure you are registered with Com&Buy before completing your Etsy checkout.

At the shipping section of Etsy, enter the Com&Buy warehouse address as the delivery destination.

Include your Com&Buy Member ID in the recipient name field to ensure your parcel is correctly matched to your account.

This allows your shipment to be forwarded securely from the warehouse to your doorstep in Singapore.

4. Complete Your Payment

After entering the warehouse address, choose your preferred payment method, whether that's a credit/debit card, PayPal, Google Pay, or bank transfer.

Review your order details carefully. Check the items, quantities, shipping address, and payment information. Once everything is correct, submit your order.

With payment complete, your items will be processed by the shop and then delivered to the Com&Buy warehouse before being forwarded to Singapore.

5. Submit Your Order to Com&Buy Using Ship for Me

Once Etsy confirms your order, log in to your Com&Buy account and go to the Ship for Me page. Here, you’ll need to submit your purchase details so our team can anticipate your parcel’s arrival at the warehouse.

For smoother processing:

• Consolidate multiple shipments by providing a list of all items you expect to arrive.
• You can also upload an Excel file if you have several shipments, making tracking and consolidation easier.
• Indicate any special instructions, such as fragile items or preferred shipping methods, in the product remarks section.

This step ensures your parcels are handled efficiently and ready for international shipping upon arrival at the warehouse.

6. Get Notification on Arrival to Warehouse & Pay for Shipping to Singapore

After your parcels arrive at the Com&Buy warehouse, you’ll receive a notification listing all items that have arrived. Review the items to ensure everything matches your order.

Then, select your preferred shipping method to Singapore based on cost, delivery speed, or courier preference. After selecting a shipping method, complete payment for the service fee and international shipping.

Payment is flexible and can be made using your Com&Buy account balance. If your balance is insufficient, you can top up via HitPay, which supports multiple options, including:

• Major credit cards
• GrabPay, ShopeePay, PayNow, QRPH
• WeChat Pay, PromptPay, TrueMoney, LinePay
• Bank transfers via DBS Bank or PayNow/PayLah!

7. Your Items Arrive in Singapore & Delivered to You

Once shipped, you can track your parcel online from the warehouse to your doorstep. Com&Buy ensures secure handling and timely delivery within Singapore.

How to Shop on Etsy with Com&Buy’s Buy For Me Service

If you’d rather skip the process of checking out items on Etsy yourself or navigating international shipping, Com&Buy can act as your personal shopping proxy with our Buy For Me service. Through this service, we will handle everything, from placing an order on Etsy to arranging shipment to our warehouse. 

To engage in our Buy For Me service, you can follow these simple steps:

1. Find an Item You Want from Etsy US or Germany

Browse Etsy, explore categories, check seller reviews, and confirm product details such as size, color, and customisation options to ensure you’re selecting the right item.

2. Copy the URL of the Product Page

Once you’ve found something you want to buy, copy the full URL of the Etsy product page. This helps Com&Buy accurately identify the exact item, variation, and seller.

3. Go to Com&Buy’s Buy For Me Page

Make sure you’re logged in to your Com&Buy account. Once logged in, proceed to the Buy For Me page. Then, paste the Etsy product URL into the search bar and click the Search button to begin your request.

4. Provide the Product Details

You’ll be redirected to a form where you’ll provide all necessary product details. This includes:

• Product name
• Price and currency listed on Etsy
• Seller’s name
• Product variation (e.g., size, color, material)
• Quantity

Once completed, click Add to Cart.

5. Repeat and Make Sure to Add All The Items You Want to the Cart

If you plan to purchase multiple items from Etsy or even from other stores within the same country, simply repeat Step 4 for each item. Adding everything to a single cart lets you consolidate shipments and save on international shipping costs.

6. Check Out & Pay

Once all the items you want are added to your cart, proceed to your Com&Buy cart to review your order. Before checking out, ensure that your account has sufficient credits. If your balance is low, top up first to prevent any processing delays.

Don’t forget to select the correct “Buy From” option in the dropdown menu, then click “Checkout” to finalise your request.

7. Wait for Parcel Arrival 

After submitting your order, Com&Buy will purchase the items on your behalf. Processing times depend on each Etsy seller (and any other stores you ordered from). Once all items arrive at our warehouse, you’ll receive a notification.

8. Track Your Parcel Until Delivery

You can also monitor the status of your shipment through the Order Tracker section in your account. After the package arrives in Singapore, Com&Buy will handle the local delivery to ensure your items reach your doorstep safely and on time.
