Some of them never bothered to weigh.
Like my case, I posted quite a few times from PD post office when I go back my hometown during the weekends, my items were crystal casings and screen protector, the man will just write the weight as 0.01kg without weighing though the things are light but definitely more than 0.01kg.
I was thinking his hand is a weigh is it?

It's best that all the Pos Office using the standard system to measure the weight and not simply touch-and-feel weight process, this would lead confusion for certain people who are new to PosLaju services.
BTW, it is good if they charge less than the acctual amount that they should charge. LOL

I tried sending out some wiper few days back, the lady keep measuring the pascal so i said "Dulu saya hantar ikut berat wor", she reply that she will weight it and also count by the size and i will pay the cheaper option.

End up she weight it 0.97kg and in the end i pay by weight.

Btw just to clarify, the fuel surcharge is 10% of your pascal charge.

Mine was Rm6.50 for the pascal so fuel surcharge is Rm0.65 and not Rm0.45 as some of you have mentioned

good for u haha
the post office i went, she measured the box and quote me the price rm16
den i told her last time i sent bigger box than this, also counted by weight oni
she dun even give a damn to wat iv said.. den i take my box and went to another post office

Rm16, i can send 3 kg of pascal already!

There is this lady in MMU, she'll come over here to work.. I think one day in a week, I'll try to peek.. If she's around, I won't post my thing on that day. She's so damn troublesome, she will take out the flexible measurement tape to measure the volume of my parcel and multiply with the weight.. Wow! Though we know that's the exact way, but can't she be a bit lenient like the nice uncle?

And bearbear, thanks for the information. So, different size different fuel surcharge, not fixed at RM 0.45.
Btw, it's parcel not pascal. You think too much of Blaise Pascal is it?

haha, lucky me everytime they measure also end up counting by weight.

Ya the fuel surcharge will be 10% of your parcel!

Ya, my parcels are always charged based on the weight, only once being charged by the proper way. Hopefully no more after this.

Yea, it's parcel .

eh, poslaju naik harga ar ?
i checked yesterday..

same city, RM7.50 first 500g for parcel....
anyone can confirm ?

Yes, the prices for poslaju was supposed to have risen since 1st March 2007.

same city cost RM 7.50 for 1st 500gm??? thats too much...
I send a parcel within the same city cost RM 5.18 for less than 500gm...

OMFG..
habis lo now..
ciiiiiiibai they go increase

Errm. Ay least not in my area, send to other city or state still stays at RM 4.73, just add RM 0.45 as fuel surcharge. Not until that much like you encountered. That's too much.

Just send an item(book) using the letter envelope from Selangor to Terengganu, they ask what is that and I told them it's a paper only, and they didn't charge for a parcel just a document... only Rm 4.++ .. hehehe

Where got naik so much, i just check the website 1st 500g still Rm4.50 wor

at 1st i oso tot they'll charge parcel weight.. but even thought i wrapped the parcel in a box, not really big, they still charge rm4.73 last time
so doesn't really matter its parcel or document i guess

mm.. its isovolumetric weight.. it count when the parcel is same at/ or more than 30cm wide X 30cm length X 30cm height.. then they will use the formula..

regarding the fuel surcharge.. now trader like me should ask the buyer + (rm6 pos laju fee).. not Rm5 anymore.. lol

.. damm 18cent.. so anoyying.. will get 2 cents everytime.. last time i like to bring my 1 cents coin when it is Rm4.73, now with RM5.18.. who wanna bring 8pcs 1 cent coin.. lol

Already added extra surcharge la...the website not yet updated

Seems 2 b lotsa confusion as whn my sec went 2 send a parcel 2 days ago only xtra RM 0.45 was charged even though it weighs 726g

no la i was refering to the price of Rm7.50 for 1st 500g.

Ya weird, mine 970g they charge Rm0.65
