Currently, as of June 2017, these are the services that users can book from the ezy2ship platform:
- Registered Mail
- Speedpost (Courier Delivery Service)
- POPstation
Not too long ago, at the start of June 2017, Singpost upgraded their new ezy2ship system and interface. Now, it has a more modern and clean design that is in line with their main landing page on www.singpost.com.
They have also shifted from the old www.ezy2ship.com to www.ezy2ship.net. Fret not if you have an existing account with them, your account details are automatically transferred over to the new system.
WHY USE EZY2SHIP?
You enjoy the convenience of being able to book, manage and track your shipments on an online platform. Gone are the days where you have to spend precious time at the post office to ensure you pen down all your shipping details correctly.
Simply put, your visit to the post office becomes much more pleasant as you just need to get your item scanned and accepted by their staff. Those behind in the queue will really thank you for it!
So let’s get right to it shall we?
EZY2SHIP GUIDE
STEP 0: Sign up for EZY2SHIP account

Mail – Choose this for Registered Mail or SMS mail (not available as of this writing)
Express – Speedpost Express
Priority – Speedpost Priority
Standard – Choose this for Speedpost Standard or POPstation
Select your desired service option. Do note that POPstation is now “hidden” under “Standard” option.
We certainly hope SingPost can make the available services more visible. It took us quite a bit of tinkering before figuring out how to send via POPstation.
STEP 3: Shipment Details
Fill in your item description, declared value, etc.
STEP 4: Delivery Details

Final Thoughts on the new ezy2ship interface
Here is our quick take on the new interface after tinkering with it for some time.
Pros: Clean modern user interface, great readability over the old interface.
Cons: Too many steps involved. POPStation is “hidden” under Speedpost.

Direct thermal / Direct Transfer printers need regular love and care for good performance.
A poorly maintained and neglected printer can suffer from early failures and poor printouts due to accumulated debris or dust from the print media or the environment.
Taking good care of your printer will ensure your printouts are of high quality on your desired media.
Follow these simple guidelines to maintain your print quality and lifetime of your thermal printer.
Take Care of Print Heads & Rollers
You should check the print heads and rollers typically after going through an entire roll of media or ribbon
If they are dirty, it is time to give them some love and care.
Firstly, switch off your print before doing any inspection or cleaning. Avoid touching the print heads with your bare heads.
Use a swab or lint-free cloth with small amounts of rubbing alcohol (Isopropyl alcohol).
Apply gentle pressure to clean off any debris or dust on the print head or platen roller.
Clean the external housing with a moist cloth and clean the inner housing with compressed air or vacuum.
Allow all parts to dry fully before resuming cleaning.
Monitor Print Settings
Your printer has settings that allows you to adjust the “Darkness” and “Speed” of your printouts. To lengthen the lifespan of your printer, operate on a conservative setting that allows you to produce quality printouts without stressing your print heads with excessive “Darkness” and “Speed” settings.
Pick the Right Media
Choosing quality labels and print media greatly extends the lifespan of your printer. Cheap media can cause dust or debris build up and damage printer elements.
