We're temporarily suspending our Standard Shipping service to the United States, effective immediately, due to recent clearance issues and regulatory changes affecting parcel deliveries.

Over the past few weeks, we've seen a rise in parcels being returned from the US without clear reasons. These challenges appear linked to evolving customs processes, and continuing the service would risk delays and undelivered parcels for your customers.

While we've worked to keep this service affordable, each failed delivery adds cost — from return fees to reshipping and resolution efforts. More importantly, it puts your customer experience at risk.

You can still ship to the US through two reliable options we offer:

: An affordable service with end-to-end tracking.

: A premium service with delivery in 2 to 5 days.

We’ve also made a few behind-the-scenes improvements to help Postal shipments move out just a little faster. If you’ve experienced delays with this option in the past, you may notice it running more in line with our expected timeframe now — and we’re continuing to fine-tune things.

If US customs is tightening, why are these services still available? The key difference is how issues impact shipments. With Standard Shipping, multiple parcels are grouped together. If one shipment gets flagged, all included parcels can be delayed or returned. In contrast, our Postal and Express services handle parcels individually, which reduces the risk of widespread disruption.

We’re already testing alternative partners and routing methods to bring back Standard Shipping with greater reliability. Once we're confident it meets our standards, we’ll reopen the service and let you know right away.

Thank you for your understanding. As always, we appreciate you shipping with JustShip.

New USA Tariffs: What JustShip Users Need to Know

Important Update: New U.S. Tariffs – What JustShip Users Need to Know

Singapore has one of the most tightly regulated car markets in the world. And because of the government’s Certificate of Entitlement (CoE) program, giving car owners the legal right to own and use their vehicle for 10 years, most car owners have to think carefully about whether they wish to renew their CoE when it expires, often for over $40,000. 

As a result, many cars and car parts leave Singapore each year and find new homes in Europe and parts of Asia.

 is an expensive and administratively taxing process. Sea freight shipments for international car shipping can take many months to arrive, and the cost to ship a car overseas can often be a significant fraction of the price of the actual car (for example, it costs between $2300 to $5900 to ship a 10-year-old Toyota Vios to the USA, for a resale value of just $8000). 

As a result, it might make financial sense to just export valuable parts of the car, such as the exhaust, bumper, lights, steering wheel, and engine.

Shipping auto parts overseas often requires fragile packing and customs expertise. JustShip has experience working with car part exporters (especially for luxury car parts), and can get car parts to your buyers within just 4 days.
