As the designated PPL, SingPost is required to perform a set of Universal Service Obligations as determined by IDA, including:
- providing services for the conveyance and delivery of letters to any person in Singapore who requests for such services; and
- providing and maintaining post boxes and post offices throughout Singapore.
To protect consumers' interest and preserve mail integrity and security, SingPost has also been granted the following:
- access to letterbox masterdoor keys;
- the sole rights to issue national stamps; and
- the rights to maintain the national postal code system.
SingPost continues to be the designated organisation representing Singapore at international and regional postal meetings.
In 2007, SingPost received global recognition in the annual World Mail Awards for the Quality category for its long-time initiatives that have significantly advanced its mail quality. SingPost has also won the EMS Cooperative Certification Gold Level Award by the Universal Postal Union (UPU) for its Speedpost Worldwide courier service and is the only postal administration in the world to win this for ten consecutive years since 2001.
As a PPL, SingPost will take due care and do its utmost to deliver articles posted through its system. It however, does not incur any liability by reason of the loss, abstraction, misdelivery, delay of, or damage to any postal articles in the course of transmission by ordinary post. No officer of SingPost shall similarly incur any liability by reason of any such loss, abstraction, misdelivery, delay or damage unless that person knowingly causes the same fraudulently or maliciously or by his wilful act or default.
SingPost will not be responsible for articles delivered by other parties including postal service operators. Users should take note and address concerns with the rightful delivery agent, the name of which can be found on the top right hand corner of the envelope or cover. The sender of a postal article is to ensure that the article is properly addressed, packaged and sealed and complies with the conditions attached to the conveyance of postal articles. The acceptance by SingPost of an article does not relieve the sender of this responsibility.

While SingPost exercises the utmost care in delivering items posted via its system, like all other postal operators in the world, it is unable to trace ordinary mail reported as 'undelivered', for a wide variety of reasons including incomplete or wrong addresses, content spillage due to improper sealing and non-posting.
However, as a responsible PPL, SingPost takes all feedback seriously and will look into them without delay. To enable SingPost to investigate effectively into your feedback, please help to furnish the following information:
- addressee's name and complete address;
- place, date and estimated time of posting;
- description of the packaging of the item and its contents;
- submission of cover/envelope/wrapper (where applicable);
- enquirer's name and address;
- time of incident; and
