Three Important Dates to Keep in Mind for Logistics & Delivery Scheduling
From late May to early June 2026, Singapore will observe several consecutive public holidays.
These holidays may affect transportation, customs clearance, and delivery schedules, so early planning is highly recommended.
① Wednesday, May 27, 2026
Hari Raya Haji
Hari Raya Haji is an important Islamic public holiday, also known as the “Festival of Sacrifice.”
Families gather together, and prayers are held at mosques throughout Singapore.
As this is a national public holiday in Singapore, the following may occur:
- Partial business closures
- Delivery delays
- Shortened warehouse operating hours
② Sunday, May 31, 2026
Vesak Day
Vesak Day is a significant Buddhist holiday commemorating the birth, enlightenment, and passing of Buddha.
Religious ceremonies and charitable activities are commonly held across Singapore, making it one of the country’s well-recognized public holidays.
As Vesak Day falls on a Sunday in 2026, an official substitute holiday will apply.
③ Monday, June 1, 2026
Vesak Day Substitute Holiday
Monday, June 1 will be observed as the substitute holiday for Vesak Day.
As a result, Singapore will experience a long holiday period from May 31 to June 1, during which the following may occur:
- Congestion among delivery companies
- Changes to customs clearance and delivery schedules
- Collection and pickup adjustments
Important Logistics Considerations
During consecutive public holidays in Singapore, logistics operations may become busier than usual.
Particular attention is recommended for:
- Alcohol shipments
- Temperature-controlled cargo
- Restaurant and food-service deliveries
- Time-sensitive shipments
To avoid delays, we strongly recommend arranging shipments with sufficient lead time.
