Peeka delivery charge is simple and clear. Unlike others, Peeka does not charge concierge fee (agent fee) on shipping fee. And your items will be delivered to your doorstep, without any extra fee.
For both Buy4U and Ship4U services, the shipping charge is based on actual weight, or volumetric weight, whichever is higher.
Volumetric weight (kg) = length (cm) x width (cm) x height (cm) / 6000
We offer Buy4U service and Ship4U service. Below is a quick summary of the difference of the two services.

Base charge is per shipment. Combined orders are considered as one shipment. As of now, Peeka do not limit on number of items per order.
E.g. Total package weight is 35.4kg, and value of the goods are S$200.
Peeka BUY4U delivery fee (SG local delivery included)
= Base Charge + Weight Charge (rounded to 35.5 kg)
= 5% * 200 + (30 x 2 x 1.40) + (5.5 x 2 x 1.00)
= S$105
Note GST will be applied on goods value only (S$200). In this case, 200 * 7% = S$14 will be collected.

7% import duty is applicable if total value is more than S$400. Customers is to pay the amount with handling fee to licensed courier company (such as SF Express, DHL, etc) directly, not Peeka.
Economy Sea delivery
Importy duty relief is only applicable for Air Import and not applicable for Economy Sea delivery. Hence 7% import duty is always applicable regardless of total product values.
