I have notice some INDIVIDUAL or EVEN SELLER who dunno how to safely sent out their item using postage, how to wrap up their item or how to do it. so hereby i attach some guide steps by steps to help them with photo.

First of all, you need some tools.... mine a bit profesionnal lar... you can dont buy those stuff
below is my equipment.
[attachmentid=393816]

EXAMPLE;
Lets say you wanted to post out a bluetooth handsfree worth about rm180...

[attachmentid=393817]
you can see here in between it have a large gap...

[attachmentid=393818]
this is how i do it... use a unused cardboard to cover up the hole in between them like the pics above

[attachmentid=393819]
paste it nicely to cover up like the pics above

[attachmentid=393820]
wrap it up with newspaper to prevent the sender(posmen or courier serviceman) to see the content inside

[attachmentid=393823]
i personally use mahjong paper to wrap it

[attachmentid=393825]
wrap it up like above and it already look very nicely.

[attachmentid=393827]
you can already write the buyer/receiver address on it.

[attachmentid=393828]
you can seal the parcel with the celotape already

[attachmentid=393829]
Finally, fill in the poslaju form and its ready to sent out.

Below is for wrapping up some combine item

[attachmentid=394101]
Step 1 - use a box and put some newspaper on it, the put the item inside

[attachmentid=394102]
Step 2 - put another layer of paper on it

[attachmentid=394114]
Step 3 - close the box and celotape it to be fitted

[attachmentid=394115]
Step 4 - seal the box with celotape.. chicaman please take note here (this is how to wrap)

[attachmentid=394117]
Step 5 - its done.
I would love to see that this thread is pinned for ALL LYN MEMBERS as a guide.

Very useful bro, u really put in a lot of effort to wrap ur item nicely before sending it out. Even use mahjong paper to wrap it. Btw, its a simple and efficient guide. Safely ship out the item.

thumbs up for the effort.

You are professional. I used to wrap nicely the item before postage for hardwares... BUT really salute you for putting this useful thread. DUMMIES for PACKING!

yellow/brown paper more economical than white paper

if several pieces, u have to stick it with cello tape to prevent it from moving around and damaging the packaging itself

ya, i know. but i prefer white color as its more easier for posman to see it more clearly so they wont see wrongly the address. btw, the price different is only very minimal. somemore, i buy 1 lot(250pcs). so its more cheaper...

It shows he dont really mind to pay extra for those mahjong paper haha. Giving out superb service is good. Really good to have seller like this in LYN. Better than those shop near my house giving shitty service. Unlike jack7155, if need anything he can special order from supplier despite only earn a few bucks.

Bro, it is good if u show us which part u celotape it.... and how to wrap.

P/S: I am guy, dono how to wrap properly lol

also, write adress on both side of the parcel. anything can happen with pos laju

bro, just seal it completely. wrap up the whole parcel


this is a good idea. if you noted it, i got my company chop on it. its hard for the posmen to imitate it

if use bubble plastic , it will become pretty good

expensive courier like ups provide wrapping as well. last time i rma sumthing from malaysia to singapore...i din wrap it at all since its already damaged. but the delivery guy offered wrap it up with bubble wrap at the office. FOC sumore

oh thanks for the tips. how about badminton racket with bag? any idea how to wrap that?

maybe you should find a long box that can fit the badminton racket with the bag. like the 2nd item that i wrapped up. insert some newspaper into it to prevent it from moving around.

Nice Info For Wrap ,Thx Jack7155

I once sent a NDSL + box to Sarawak using PosLaju... I was so worried about their handling that I used a marker pen and wrote "FRAGILE" on all corners of the box (After wrapped with mahjong paper) and requested for their fragile sticker

Thankfully buyer received it safely

poslaju got fragile sticker?? if got, i want to take from them...

Not all branches have, just like the courier plastics too, not all have them.

thanks for your reply, fruitie. i'll ask my area pos office and if they got, i'll take the pics of it and post here.

I would prefer to use bubblewrap, foams and other soft protective materials like styrofoams..

thanks a lot for ur info！
it really work a lot for me~

i need to know how to wrap a tshirt to send it via poslaju? thanks..

just go to pos laju counter and take from them their plastic bag. then wrap up your shirts with newspaper and put it into the plastic bag. that should works....

really? poslaju have their own bag, gosh, that's cool. I dont know about that. Thanks How much will it cost to send 1 tshirt? I'm thinking of conducting a tshirt bulk here..

normally is rm5.20....

Anyone know where I can buy some canton boxes for packing purpose in Johor Bahru? Thx

need to know where to buy box for parcel ?

Hi stone13

pos malaysia does sell boxes of various sizes.. u can check em out

but i stopped buying em due to budget constraints...

and fashioned my own out of used cardboard boxed

economical n environmental friendly hehe

the most economic is ask from your friends/family/siblings for empty boxes like tissue box,biscuit box,milk powder box (hardcover), or when you buy something at accessories/gift shops,ask them for boxes, perhaps? if soft cover,your product will easily broke le! handle with care!

just want to ask, can i send a t-shirt via Pos Express?
if can which parcel should i use?
do i need to wrap it before put it into the parcel?
i'm kinda new with this stuff, so i hope someone can help me with it
thanx

IINM Pos Expres is supposed to be for documents only

but most dont really care as long as the envelope can be closed its accepted lol (actually i received a 3 cm thick RM 2.50 post express envelope)

use the RM 4 one.. there are bigger pos express boxes but they cost RM 6 & RM 7 (might as well use pos laju edi)
best if u wrap in a plastic bag first before putting into the envelope in case it gets wet. if you find that the envelope is too thick and you cant close it properly, better tape it close.

also, if u send things (non documents) regularly using pos express, you could just purchase a few envelopes to take home cos some workers will scold you for sending other stuff using pos express.

Good guide.

hmmmm nice guide

But i usually just put alot of bubble wrap then send it out

may i know the parcel postage fee from semenanjung to semenanjung and also semenanjung to sabah/sarawak?

if a post a parcel the size is 1.6m height and the heavy is around 7kg how much? also need to warp up with white paper at outside part?
or i can direct send to post office without the box?

good job

how do i wrap my hard drive?
i wanna send it for rma..

ayo,rma means rosak d ma...then agak agak wrap lo..haha...just joking..
better use bubble wrap,then another layer of cardboard,then newspaper,then only the brown paper.
that will do it.
and that's what i usually do!!

Yeah. This guide did help me. Should have it pinned. I usually wrap stuff with bubble wrap also. Except if its clothing. Then just plastic bag.
