With the increased need to stay home as much as possible, you’re probably looking to online delivery as a means to avoid long lines and unnecessary exposure to crowds. 

Well, you and everyone and their grannies too, it looks like. Judging by recent reports, many are trying and failing to secure delivery slots from popular, well-established online grocers such as the likes of RedMart, NTUC FairPrice, and Cold Storage.

At times like these, turning to alternative suppliers and specialist grocers can help you avoid the bottlenecks and get the groceries you need. Here are 10 alternative online grocers you can try buying from instead.

For Fresh Seafood: Apollo Marine

Min order: NA
Delivery fee: $30, free for orders above $120

An accredited urban farmer of fresh seafood in Singapore, Apollo Marine prides itself on producing fresh seafood without relying on hormones or antibiotics. It accomplishes this via a self-designed 4-level filtration system to ensure the freshest, healthiest live seafood possible.

We imagine this one’s for the seafood connoisseur; live lobsters, crabs (read also “Here’s How To Make The Delicious Singapore-Style Chilli Crab At Home“), fish, shrimp and even oysters can be ordered and delivered online. Though if you prefer, frozen fish, filets and marinated ready-to-cook cuts are also available.

www.marketfresh.com.sg
Min order: NA
Delivery fee: Free for orders $68 and above, $50 – $68 ($12), $30 -$50 ($18), below $30 ($24)

MarketFresh is an online wet market, which means you order what you want from their website, they pick your goods from the wet market, pack them up and deliver them to you. A simple, no fuss alternative great for those who still prefer to buy from wet markets.

All the usuals are on offer here – fresh vegetables and fruits, meat, poultry, seafood and fish, along with products like fishballs, wantons, noodles and beancurd. There’s also dry produce like eggs, condiments and spices.

https://www.purelyfresh.com.sg/
Min order: NA
Delivery fee: $10, free for orders above $100

If you prefer to buy fresh and not frozen produce, PurelyFresh has got you covered. Stocking a full range of seafood, meats, fruits and vegetables, along with a quite extensive selection of yong tau foo items and fresh noodles, PurelyFresh is a great choice for cooks who prefer not to wait around for frozen food to thaw.

As an added bonus, you can even choose for your pork, chicken, fish and meats to arrive pre-sliced, so you can get to cooking that much quicker. One more thing we like is the relatively low-cost delivery of just $10, waived if your order hits $100 or more.
