You didn’t realise CNY was this soon; B) Super chill and want to shop around for the best stuff at the best prices. Either way, you’ll need this cheatsheet.
Redmart
Delivery fee: $5.99 if you spend less than $60. Free, with a minimum spend of $60.

Anything else we should know? This is the best site for those who want to select their CNY groceries at lightning quick speed.

FairPrice
Delivery fee: $7 for orders less than $59. Free for orders amounting to more than $59.
How fast? Next-day delivery during a specific two-hour time belt of your choice, from 10am to 10pm.
Anything else we should know? This is a fab option if you’re shopping for non-CNY stuff. There’s a large variety of non-perishables here, including furniture. Then again, you may need those $7.90 foldable stools delivered over CNY when you find out Fourth Auntie has suddenly decided to come for reunion dinner with her entire clan from Johor.

Giant
Delivery fee: $7 for orders below $59. Free for orders $59 and above.
How fast? Depends. Orders placed between 12am-3am are meant to be delivered from 5pm onwards, and orders placed between 3am and 3pm qualify for next-day delivery. However, when we checked, the earliest delivery slot we could chope was one that's four days later. Easier to head to a brick-and-mortar outlet and pay for home delivery if your items are too bulky to lug home. The service is free for purchases above $100 at Paya Lebar Square and $200 at selected outlets.
Anything else we should know? This is a bargain-hunter magnet. Several CNY essentials are cheapest here across the board, like $4.50 pineapple tarts.

Cold Storage
Delivery fee: $7 for orders below $40. Free for orders $40 and above.
How fast? Same day delivery (between 3 to 10pm) for orders made before 10am. Anything ordered after 10am will be delivered the next working day (9am to 10pm).
Anything else we should know? There is a limited selection of festive items here. Probably best for indecisive folks who don’t like to shop around, we guess?
