Time to get trigger-happy.
With more e-commerce platforms offering worldwide shipping, it’s never been easier to purchase items not otherwise available in Singapore. With that, we’ve round up a list of 10 useful home products from Amazon US that:
- Have no official online/physical store in Singapore
- Are not available on Shopee Mall
- Are not available on LazMall
- Can be delivered to Singapore
- Are definitely worth camping out for during sale periods
But first, what’s the difference between Amazon SG and Amazon US?
- When delivering to Singapore, Amazon SG usually comes with free or lower shipping costs than Amazon US
- Amazon US has a much wider selection of products
- Amazon US is known to have massive year-end sales, more so than Amazon SG
Our take: even with higher shipping costs, it’s still possible to pay less on Amazon US thanks to its extravagant year-end sales, or simply because products are priced cheaper. At the time of writing, items 1, 2 and 10 are available on both platforms, but are cheaper on Amazon US (even after shipping). All other items listed are only available on Amazon US.
Speed up your post-workout muscle recovery, or relax after a long day with this portable massage gun. Listed under Amazon US’s Holiday Gift Guide, this quiet deep tissue massager comes with 6 attachment heads and 20 speed levels to choose from.
At the time of writing, this massage gun is S$50 cheaper on Amazon US (after shipping) than on Amazon SG because of a holiday markdown.

The last thing a coffee-lover wants is to invest in an expensive espresso machine, only for it to become a white elephant.

Herbs don’t usually last for more than a week even when refrigerated, which is a waste as it’s hard to finish an entire packet in such a short period of time.

Set your Currency of Preference to Singapore Dollars (SGD) when shopping on Amazon US, for a better indication of how much you’ll be paying. As prices are in United States Dollars (USD) and converted to SGD using live exchange rates, you may also notice that prices listed in SGD tend to fluctuate with each day. Other than that, happy shopping!
