FAQ

About Naiise
1. Who is Naiise?

Naiise is a creative marketplace based in Singapore, with a goal to make design accessible to everyone! We're always on the lookout for cool, functional and beautiful products to inspire and delight. At Naiise.com, you can shop for thousands of unique products ranging from gifts, fashion, home and kitchen accessories, to souvenirs and beauty products directly from the creatives and makers behind them.

2. What happened to Naiise Marketplace?

As of 1 Jun 2020, we have merged Naiise Marketplace (naiisemarketplace.com) onto Naiise.com. We are hoping to offer a seamless online shopping experience to our customers on Naiise.com, while also providing a more sustainable platform for our sellers to grow their brands and businesses.

3. The brands you carry are cool! Where do you get them from?

All across the globe. We like to work directly with both local and overseas designers, suppliers or stockists to bring you creative, functional, and unique products.

4. I make things too! Can I work with you guys?

Our own team ensures that the products we carry align to our goals and brand values, and we are always on the lookout for new partners to join us! Just drop us a message here if you have something cool to share, and we'll be in touch (:

5. How can I stay updated?

Subscribe to our newsletter (highly recommended) to stay updated on the new brand launches every week, or follow us on Facebook and Instagram. You will also get updated on the latest deals and sale that we have!

6. The products that you carry can be quite pricey. Why is that so?

Most products listed on our website are not produced in large quantities. Some of the items are also handmade, or made-to-order, hence the retail prices reflect the material and man-hour costs.

7. Where can I find the name of the seller and how do I contact them?

On each product page, you can see the brand name, followed by the seller's name ("Sold By [Seller's Name]") under the product title.

To drop the seller a message, simply click on the Seller's Name to visit their seller's page, and click on the Contact button at the top right corner to get in touch with them.

Each seller will be handling the fulfillment of your order with them directly. Hence, it is best to get in touch with them directly for your order inquiry :)

7. Why does my shipping charge vary with different products in my cart?

The shipping fees are calculated based on our shipping charges from $1 per seller per order, or from $3.50 for items sold by Naiise. As such, you might see the change in shipping fees when you add or remove items from various sellers.
