hi everyone. not sure if my question belongs to here but I'll just ask away first..

Does anyone have experience shipping items from overseas using SAL? Are they handled by Poslaju or other post services after arriving at Malaysia?

For my case, the magazine I've ordered from Japan was shipped at 8 July using unregistered SAL. I have yet to receive my item to date and I'm getting kind of panicked as I seriously have no idea where my item is currently.

So.. if it is handled by Poslaju, we will need to give a signature when we have received the item like the usual Poslaju procedure right? And if worst comes to worst, they won't be able to help in anything if it is misdelivered or lost?

Thanks in advance.

i used SAL once,which was few weeks ago.i ordered a cd frm a japan site and i received it 8 days after they send out.usually it might take weeks or even months,if they have lots of parcel to send.so,i can't guarantee that everyone will receive their SAL parcel so fast.and,they are not handled by poslaju.they are handled by normal postman,which means they will send your stuff to cawangan serahan.unregistered SAL is abit risky as you don't need to sign when receiving the parcel.and,if its peak month,it might be worst.it might gone with the wind or whatever might happen.
if you buy from japanese online store,try to email them and see what they say.usually they will ask you to wait for 1-2months.if its from rakuten or from those bidding site,good luck to you

read newspaper(the star) 2day... POSLAJU NAIK HARGA!!! UP DOUBLE... 100% INCREASE!!!

i guess no more 'FREE POSTAGE' from nw on...

paper reports tat many young ppl/tech savvy nwdays use PosLaju(4 online business)... so they decide 2 increase da price which they claim is much more cheaper than other courier...

tat means = many customers, so increase price... = lagi banyak untung 4 poslaju...

WHAT A JOKE!!!

When Increase?

Last Friday I Posted 1 Parcel Still Same Rate RM5.67

"Azizan added that Poslaju’s prices were still the cheapest in the country despite the recent price hike on July 1.

Poslaju now charges RM7 for parcels weighing up to 2kg and RM1.50 for each additional kilo.

The old rate was RM3.50 for the first 2kg and RM1 for each subsequent kilo."

quote from poslaju Head of operations Nor Azizan Tarja

from the star newspaper...

I think the rate is still the same. Only the normal pos malaysia increased the rate. Pos laju is unaffected.

YIPPEE!!!

(even newspaper oso give wrong info... or i read wrongly alredy... haizz... dunno la... )

The Star newspaper has given wrong info.
Price hike affects PosDaftar, Poslaju is not affected..yet~

Not affected.. Yet? Wah, if the price goes up, they better make sure efficient service to us.
