Getting The Most Out Of The 11.11 Sales: Tmall's Massive Discounts And Free Shipping

These days, we’re spoilt for choice when it comes to sales. There’s the usual Great Singapore Sale, year-end Christmas sales, and now 11.11.


You might have heard of Tmall, which hosts the 11.11 Global Shopping Festival, the world’s largest one-day online sale where you can get pretty much anything at a massive discount – fashion, gardening supplies, toys, makeup, skincare and even furniture. Tmall is Taobao’s branded and (slightly) higher-end sister, which caters to those of us looking for branded products and a premium shopping experience. It houses a large number of international merchants, some of which are Chinese brands that emphasize premium designs you can’t find elsewhere.
On 11 November, Tmall’s 11.11 Global Shopping Festival will go live with over 15 million product listings from over 140,000 brands! Best of all, the promotions and discounts are all stackable – which means you don’t have to crack your head trying to figure out what the best discount is – you get ALL of them! If your inner kiasu-ness has not been activated yet, can we also mention that the first kilogram of stuff you buy also comes with free shipping? Shopaholics can rejoice and indulge, guilt-free!
Here’s all the promotions that you’ll enjoy:

  • Discounts of up to 50% across ALL product categories on Tmall, including apparel, electronics, home furniture and more
  • Collect additional discount coupons at the 11.11 promotional site
  • Individual stores will offer additional discounts during the sale period
  • Free shipping for your first kilogram with shipping discount coupons that you can redeem at the 11.11 promotional site
  • Additional discounts on sea-freight shipping, which was introduced this year to make it easier for you to buy large items such as furniture

That’s not all. Get your credit cards ready because you can also get cashbacks and enter lucky draws by Tmall’s payment merchants.

  • Maybank – receive $25 cashback for purchases of $100 or more when using a Maybank Credit Card from 11 to 12 Nov
  • UOB – enjoy $10 cashback for purchases of $180 or more with a UOB credit or debit card on 11 Nov
  • AXS  – from now till 12 Nov, shoppers paying using Alipay Purchase cards ( cash vouchers that can be used for Tmall or Taobao purchases) through AXS will be entered into a lucky draw to win RMB1,000 in Alipay Purchase Card value. Three winners will be selected every day till 12 Nov
  • Mastercard – pay using Mastercard on 11 Nov and stand a chance to win an  iPhone 8 Plus or iPhone X
