How to Buy Items on Shopee Indonesia from Singapore
Shopee operates country-specific platforms, so many Indonesian sellers cater only to local buyers. While a few Indonesian products may appear on Shopee Singapore, the majority of Shopee Indonesia listings, including exclusive local brands, are not available for international purchase.
On top of that, many sellers on Shopee Indonesia may only ship domestically, so shoppers overseas will require a local delivery address. As a result, Singaporean shoppers often face limitations when buying directly from Shopee Indonesia.
This is where working with a trusted shipping forwarder or proxy shopping service, such as Com&Buy, can become useful. With Com&Buy’s “Buy For Me” and parcel forwarding solutions, you can buy from any seller on Shopee Indonesia and get your purchases shipped securely to Singapore hassle-free.
Why Shop from Shopee Indonesia?
Shopee is one of Indonesia’s largest and most trusted e-commerce platforms, capturing nearly 38% of the country’s online shopping traffic. Some of the top reasons why people choose to shop from Shopee Indonesia include:
1. Unique Indonesian Product Offerings
Indonesia has a thriving online marketplace filled not only with well-known Indonesian brands but also with independent creators, small businesses, and niche brands. Buying items on Shopee Indonesia gives you access to products that are often hard to find or completely unavailable in Singapore, such as:
- Some Indonesian fashion labels, including modest wear, streetwear, batik apparel, and local designer brands
- Handcrafted items from artisans, including home décor, accessories, and personalised gifts
- Some popular Indonesian snacks and food products
- Home, lifestyle, and daily-use items at affordable prices
2. Competitive Pricing and Frequent Discounts
One of the biggest advantages of buying from Shopee Indonesia is its irresistible prices. You may find great deals on Indonesian products due to lower local production and retail costs, frequent seller promotions, and regular platform-wide deals.
3. Access to Local Promotions and Shopee Mall Exclusives
Many brands launch Indonesia-only promotions, bundle deals, or limited editions exclusively on Shopee Mall Indonesia. These offers usually do not appear on Shopee Singapore and may never reach international buyers through traditional channels.
But by using a shipping forwarder or Buy For Me service, you can access these exclusives directly and enjoy authentic products at local prices without relying on expensive resellers.

Tips on How to Get the Most Value When Shopping from Shopee Indonesia
To maximise savings and avoid common pitfalls, keep these practical tips in mind:
1. Check Seller Ratings and Reviews
Always review the seller’s rating, feedback history, and photos from previous buyers. Look for sellers with consistent 4.8–5.0 ratings, detailed reviews, and a high number of completed transactions to ensure product quality and trustworthy service.
2. Compare Prices Between Indonesia and Singapore
Prices often vary significantly due to currency differences and local promotions. Before checking out, compare Indonesian pricing with Singapore listings to see whether you're getting a real deal. Don’t forget to factor in international shipping fees and potential savings from consolidation.
3. Look Out for Flash Sales and Promotion Days
Shopee Indonesia runs frequent discounts, 12.12-style campaigns, and storewide vouchers. If you’re not in a hurry, wait for major sale days to score deeper discounts, cashback coins, and shop vouchers that can further lower your total cost.
