Affordable Delivery for Home Businesses in Singapore — No Commissions
Running a home business in Singapore means solving one problem every day: how do I get my products to customers without delivery costs eating into my margins?
If you're a home baker, Carousell seller, craft maker, or any home-based business (HBB), this guide is for you.
The Commission Problem
Most delivery platforms charge merchants 25-40% of every order. On a S$30 cake order, that's S$7.50-12 going to the platform — before you account for ingredients and time. For many home businesses, delivery costs are the difference between profit and loss.
The DeliverLah Alternative
DeliverLah charges a flat delivery fee — no percentage of your order, no monthly subscription, no merchant commissions.
| Parcel Size | Delivery Fee | Commission | Total Platform Cost | |---|---|---|---| | Light (under 3 kg) | S$4.50 | S$0 | S$4.50 | | Medium (3-5 kg) | S$5.50 | S$0 | S$5.50 | | Heavy (5-8 kg) | S$7.00 | S$0 | S$7.00 |
That S$30 cake? You pay S$5.50 for delivery. You keep S$24.50. No commission taken.
