In my case, I request for my buyers to transfer the payments first, then only I will send the items to them.

Guys..i'm a noob here..just wanna ask..if i want to send a parcel from KL to Terengganu..do i need to pack the stuff myself or the PosLaju will pack it for me??

You need to pack yourself, those people won't bother to pack for you.

what i know:
pos parcel =send parcel at normal and cheap rate (take roughly 1 week i think)
poslaju =Send parcel at express time and expensive rate (min 1 day)
pos register(posdaftar)=send document /i send out pendrive in anvelope (cheap but still secure because we got tracking number), take 3-7 days

correct me if i', wrong

owh..ok..thanks 4 da info..

what does this mean? they deliver twice and unsuccessful. will they deliver the parcel 3rd time again?

This few week i went to POS OFFICE sending documnet using POS LAJU.I found something different in charging rates

As the weight of document is less then 0.5Kg
Normally they will charge me about RM 4.50 and plus 5 % taxes is about total RM 4.73.

But too my surprise, they add in another charges about 10% of the Rm 4.50 document weight charges, i.e Rm 0.45.

In the end, i need to pay RM 4.50+ 5%(4.50)+ 10%(4.50)= RM 5.18

CAN anyone tell me what is the problem ? How come they taxes 15%.

I didn insured for the document at all.

The another 10% is fuel surcharge (Caj bahan api)
I've highlighted about this matter in March, it was implemented that time.
You can refer to our discussion here

guys i have a parcel weight by 2kg. it's a helmet actually. will they go by weight or go by the size of the box? hai~~ so complicated.. last time i send poslaju so easy.... all same. now they have 2 category document and parcel.

They've increased the rate in March, yes. Cost a little bit more now ~ specially to Sabah & Sarawak.

I wonder if it's still safe to send phone with PosLaju? What are we supposed to write on the "Keterangan Penuh Item" then? Cause I just went to PosLaju today and they put a list of things can't be sent using PosLaju.. which at no.1 is mobile phones.

Any suggestions? I'm buying a phone from a member, pending delivery..

Yeap, me having the same problem too ~ for Peninsular is OK, but for Sabah & Sarawak~they are problem in case of any loss, they will not refund. Normally I just leave the space blank~unless the clerk ask me to fill in the description. My concern is that when you put description there~if you send something valuable like laptop or phone ~ erm..scared theft.

So, just leave the description empty unless they ask you to.

No way the clerk is going to be so ignorant to miss out the field..

Today I posted an item and I forgot to fill out the package content section, the clerk asked me to fill up that section before sign..

Now the problem is, they listed hand phones as a no-no in their list, anyone have any experience on this?

Maybe a few replies from the phone sellers might shine some light on this situation?

Hi,
could u tell me wat's the offical work hours? I wanna post something on Sat, but dunno if the post station open on Sat, or open until wat time on Weekend.
any info provided? thx a lot

As far as I know the post office doesn't open on the first Saturdays of every month. As for working hours... I think they're slightly different from one place to another?

Does anyone know if we can insure a package sent using poslaju?

could just visit their website and get answer from there, if not then make a call to 1-300-300-300 rather then waiting for answers here, and quite often could be wrong.

i just called pos laju ... i want to sent VCD to U.k .either registered pos or pos laju..but he say will kena block .. he ask me declare as VCD .. and if i declare the parcel as VCD .. im sure will kena TAX 1 ... some forumer say just tick as GIFT .. any idea ? blur ..i ask him can i tick as gift ? he say cannot .. he say custom there scan sure kena 1 .. blur!~~~ registered post cost me RM20+{around 2 week to reach} and pos laju Rm110 {reach within 1week}

neone from Penang can confirm me bout 1 thing. accordin to the Pos Malaysia website, they have extended hour Pos Offices in Carrefour n Tesco, just wanna confirm if its true for Carrefour case (just in case, Penang has only 1 Carrefour only rite?), are they still an extended hour Pos Office, coz the last time i visit them, they were close.

Seriously, what's the point having the TRACK AND TRACE when you can't even use it.

Forever shipment not recorded. O_O
