What happens to the donated books after pickup? Your donations will be delivered to one of the organizations in Singapore, and you will be notified via email with the details. Here’s our process: When you raise a request on our website, our social organization mapping algorithm picks an organization for your donations based on various parameters—location, items to be donated, their quantity, etc. Then the donations are picked up by our logistics partner and delivered directly to the matched social organization/charity the same day. You are notified of the details of the organization where your donations went via automated email.
Quantity Do you have a minimum or maximum quantity for donations?
We’re excited to accept donations of all sizes, from just a few pens to an entire box of stationery goodies—every bit helps! You can choose from our Light Pickup for smaller donations or opt for the Flexi Pickup, which includes a range of vehicle options like an MPV, Van, or Minivan. Planning a larger, bulk donation? You can upgrade your vehicle to a Lorry to fit everything comfortably. If you need to upgrade your vehicle or require any assistance in selecting the right vehicle based on the volume of your donation, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us via WhatsApp at +65 6429 8339.

This is a fantastic way to give back and make a positive impact with items that are no longer needed in your business.
Packing Guidelines What’s the best way to pack the books for donation? Pack your items in a box/bag to keep them together and make them easy to carry. Do not use very big boxes as that would require more helpers to assist with the loading.

Charges Is there a charge for the pickup service? Yes, a nominal convenience fee starting at 19 SGD for a light pickup and 34 SGD for a flexi pickup applies. The exact fee depends on distance and volume.
