Lazada 7.7 vs Shopee 7.7: Which Sale Is Really Worth Your Click?

Singapore’s mid-year shopping showdown is here again, and it is game on between Lazada and Shopee. With both platforms promising jaw-dropping prices, lightning-fast delivery, and massive vouchers, the real question is: where should you spend your money?

We took a deep dive into both Lazada’s 7.7 Big Summer Sale and Shopee’s ongoing 6.6 to 7.7 Great Shopee Sale to help you figure out where the real savings are hiding this season. The discounts may be loud, but we’re cutting through the noise to find the true value.

THE SALE TIMELINE

Shopee launched its Great Shopee Sale, stretching the campaign from June 6 all the way to July 7. It is a full month of timed flash sales, daily dining deals, and exciting voucher drops. The main event will happen on July 7. The campaign keeps shoppers coming back with fresh offers almost every other week.

In contrast, Lazada keeps things concise. Its Big Summer Sale begins on July 6 and ends on July 10. The deals are tightly packed, and users can consult LazCalendar to track the daily highlights and prepare in advance.

Verdict: Shopee dominates in duration and frequency. 

FOOD & LIFESTYLE DEALS

Shopee’s 50% off daily dining deals are a clear win for budget-savvy foodies. From Popeyes and KFC to Mr Bean, the discounts cover everyday cravings and quick comfort meals. Combine that with Shopee Live cashback, time-limited vouchers, and major markdowns on fashion and beauty, and you get a fantastic online GSS experience.

Lazada offers lifestyle deals as part of wider store promotions, but it is not as aggressive in food discounts. Their focus leans more toward value-for-money bundles across electronics, home, and essentials.

Verdict: Shopee steals the spotlight for lifestyle and food offers.

DELIVERY, RETURNS, & USER PERKS

Shopee’s guaranteed next-day delivery is a major win for shoppers. Free shipping vouchers are available all day and buyers enjoy a no-questions-asked 15-day return policy. It is fast, forgiving, and fuss-free.

Lazada offers free shipping on selected items and LazMall products often arrive quickly. Returns are usually accepted but policies can vary depending on the seller. Their 100% satisfaction guarantee provides some peace of mind, although it feels less straightforward than Shopee’s blanket return policy.

Verdict: Shopee leads the way with convenience and smoother logistics.

FLASH SALES, FASHION, & TECH

Shopee’s flash sales hit hard with up to 90% off branded items from Timberland, David Jones, and H&M. Vouchers stack across categories including fashion, home, beauty, and electronics. With major discounts on Roborock, PrismPlus, and Samsung, it is easy to get caught in the shopping loop.

Lazada focuses more on big-ticket deals across electronics, appliances, and home essentials. It may not have as many fashion-forward drops, but for large purchases, Lazada gives strong value through bundled discounts and cashback stacking.

Verdict: If you are planning to upgrade your home tech, Lazada offers a more structured deal path.

OVERALL SHOPPING EXPERIENCE

Shopee thrives on daily engagement. Its interface is built around live shopping, surprise vouchers, and limited-time rewards. The campaign feels more interactive, like a shopping game you want to keep playing.

Lazada appeals more to the planner. LazCalendar helps map your buys ahead of time and big-brand deals are usually clean and clearly labeled. It is less flashy, but arguably more efficient for focused shoppers.

Verdict: Shopee is more fun and immersive, while Lazada wins for structure and simplicity. It depends on your shopping habits.

FINAL VERDICT

If you are chasing everyday value, fast delivery, and the joy of stacking vouchers across categories, Shopee is your go-to this 7.7. But if your eye is on the prize and that prize happens to be a new appliance or serious electronics upgrade, Lazada still holds its ground.

Want the best of both? Compare, claim early, and shop smart. These deals move fast and so should you.

How to Maximize Your 2026 Long Weekends

Get ready to mark your calendars because 2026 is shaping up to be a good year for long weekends in Singapore. With 11 public holidays on the official calendar and 6 of them falling on either a Friday or Sunday, there’s no better time to start planning your leave days strategically.

Three public holidays land on a Friday, automatically giving you a three-day weekend:

a. Good Friday (Apr 3)

b. Labour Day (May 1)

c. Christmas Day (Dec 25)

Another three fall on a Sunday, which means the following Monday will be a public holiday:

c. Vesak Day (May 31) – Mon, Jun 1 off

b. National Day (Aug 9) – Mon, Aug 10 off

c. Deepavali (Nov 8) – Mon, Nov 9 off

That’s 6 long weekends to look forward to, and that’s not even counting the possibility of extending your break with just one or two leave days in between. Think staycations, regional travel, or simply recharging at home.

WHAT IF YOU HAVE TO WORK ON A PUBLIC HOLIDAY?

For those in essential services or industries that never sleep, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has clear guidelines. Employees required to work on a public holiday are entitled to an extra day’s salary at their basic rate, on top of their usual pay.

Alternatively, employers and employees can mutually agree to swap the public holiday for another working day. Time-off-in-lieu is also an option, but this only applies to certain employees including:

a. Workmen earning more than S$4,500 per month

b. Non-workmen earning more than S$2,600 per month

c. All managers and executives

TIME TO PLAN AHEAD

Whether you’re dreaming of a beach getaway, aiming to reconnect with loved ones, or simply resting at home, 2026’s long weekends give you the perfect excuse.

So get that calendar out and plan around those golden dates. A little foresight now could mean a lot more freedom and fun later.
