Two very different online shopping experience to check out over the weekend. Omigo offers to be Singapore’s one-stop online shopping destination; while SampleStore.com is an innovative try-vertising platform in Singapore.
Both websites are part of the Singapore Post group of companies with the former powered by vPost.
I first came across them during a briefing by SingPost a few weeks ago. I suppose it is part of the company’s effort to diversify its business beyond traditional mail and package delivery.

Omigo – online offers free delivery for purchases above S$99, and 14 days free return policy.
Omigo offers a broad range of products in the following categories: cameras, mobiles & tablets, computers, games, audio & video, and baby & toys.
So the product line at the moment seem to be heavy on the IT and electronics side.
The site offers free delivery for purchases above S$99, and 14 days free return policy. To start you off, you can sign up for their newsletter and get a free S$15 voucher.

SampleStore.com allows members to try out samples for free.
SampleStore.com is a more interesting concept, taking sample-trying into the digital age.
SampleStore.com handles only the trying of samples, so if you’re sold on the product and decide to purchase more of it, you’ll still have to go elsewhere – online or in a physical store – to make the purchase.
The website offers consumers the opportunity to “Try Before You Buy” a product.
You get to try out the samples you select for free, paying a flat rate of S$5.99 for handling and postage (certain samples even have these fees waived if they are sponsored).
To continue receiving samples for free, you have to write reviews on the website about the samples you have received and tried.

How SampleStore.com works.
Sample product categories include: Baby, Body, Eye, Face, Feminine care, Food, Fragrance, Hair, Sports, Supplement, Toiletries and Others.
