Decision Guide: 4 Seller Scenarios
Scenario 1: New seller, 5-20 orders/day, single country Pick J&T Express (cheapest base rate) or Shopee Xpress if Shopee-only. J&T offers the lowest walk-in rates across all 6 SEA countries with no minimum volume for pickup. SPX is cheaper but platform-locked.
Scenario 2: Growing seller, 50-200 orders/day, multi-channel Pick Ninja Van (best API and COD integration) or J&T Express (cheapest at volume). At 50+ daily orders, negotiate directly — expect 15-25% off published rates. Ninja Van has the best webhook integration for multi-channel OMS.
Scenario 3: Cross-border seller, 2-3 SEA countries Pick Ninja Van (6-country network) as primary, J&T Express as country-level backup. Both cover all 6 SEA countries; Ninja Van has the more unified cross-country API.
Scenario 4: Bulky, fragile, or same-day Pick Lalamove for oversized goods (van and truck options), GoSend or Grab Express for 1-2 hour city delivery, DHL Express for fragile/high-value items with insurance.
Pro tip: Use 2 couriers. Service disruptions during 11.11, 12.12, and Ramadan sales are common. Having a primary and backup keeps orders moving.
