Hi!

I'm a newbie from PJ & need some advices about my trade below:

I bought one eBay item from US -- costs around US$ 700 (incld. shipping).
On 03/08/2009 seller shipped it via USPS Priority Mail International (PMI) with extra service "insurance" (considering the $), but it would be without tracking). Shipping ref. no. CP64xxxxxx7US. According to him, it should be arrives in 6 to 10 days.

Until yesterday 14/08/2009 I have not received it yet. So I checked the USPS website, but it says "There is no record of this item".

My Q are:
1. About the USPS PMI, usually how long it takes to Malaysia? For my case it is more than 2 weeks now. Is that normal?
2. I worry it got "kena tahan kastam" because of the $$$. Until now I haven't received any call or letter from Pos Malaysia or Kastam yet. So what I should do? Should I call Pos Malaysia first?

Thank you in advance for sharing experience & answering.

Number of days in delivery usually refers to business day. In this case, the 10th day would be the coming Monday.

I now this is personal but what item u ordering in ebay?

2 weeks is normal. Should wait 7-14 working days and this exclude kastam processing which normally take 2-3 working days and pos Malaysia delivery time. If USPS Priority Mail International with insurance should be like registered post right? The processing should be faster if EMS.

It is just an used watch.

hi there,

USPS priority international DOES NOT provide tracking. as far as i knew, only USPS express mail provides tracking for their stuff the number u get must be the customs reference number.

Parcel from US takes time (if you are not using the express method), around 14-21 days normally.

Sometime even more than 30 days when it is stuck at the Customs

Hi,

USPS Priority Mail do provide tracking number and you can check it at their website. normally items can reach here around 10 -14 days. you can also call the Pos Malaysia in KLIA and check whether u parcel has arrives.

USPS Priority Mail don't provide tracking no. unless the sender pay more for this additional service.

It is included in case of USPS Express Mail.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I got this info from my friend in US.

Yes, gizmo_pony. Your comment is the same as what my US seller said. He says prefer insure it than tracking.


BTW, thanks you all guys for the comments.


I wonder why my previous trades from Germany using Deutsche Post & cheaper shipmpent, just took only 7 & 11 days.

i guess depends on the courier company. maybe they ship less stuff to malaysia.

i find UPS and royal mail from UK very reliable and fast.
i've shipped stuff from UK twice. and both reach to my house within 3 days.

What shipping method you using? First Class International, Priority International or Express International?Item which cost RM500 and above including shipping will likely get held with customs but if you do not received any letter from customs yet then that means your stuff haven't arrived yet in Malaysia.

Added on August 19, 2009, 5:03 pmYup...you are correct there bro. One can insist on tracking for USPS Priority Mail but at an additional cost...same as insurance. The CP64xxxxxx7US is in fact not tracking but the declaration form used for shipping the item.

Good news, I received the goods today.

Found that it had been held at Malaysia Custom since 12/08/2009 until 18/08/2008.

Custom had opened the packing, but luckily nothing missing. They released it without any problem nor duty.

Yes, now I know the C64xxxxxx7US is the US custom reference number (I think the US seller forgot to mention it too).

Case is resolved now. I hope my experience will be useful for other forum members.

Hi there, I'm also facing the same experience and hope that someone here can advice.

I bought an item of ebay and shipper sent it thru USPS priority international mail.
I have a number though not sure its its tracking or customs - CQ33 530X XXXU S

I did go to the USPS site to checked and it tells me this

Detailed Results:

International Dispatch, September 28, 2009, 6:41 am, ISC CHICAGO IL (USPS)
Arrival
Acceptance, September 26, 2009, 10:19 am, FRESNO, TX 77545
Electronic Shipping Info Received, September 26, 2009


does this means that its a tracking number?

can I conclude
that the item left the US port on 28 Sept. ?
arrive by now and with customs?
how long before it reaches me or customs to contact me?

Tried checking with POS. no luck!

hi dear, i just got my parcel from usa thru priority mail, well the item was sent on 17 september and i get it today on 1st of october. so it not necessary take 6-10 days, could be more cuz it kena tahan at malaysia custom.

and priority mail do provide tracking number my dear, in fact, once the seller send the product, the priority mail service will email u to verify your address and stuff, together with your item location, they will update u where your item is at the moment, very efficient and it made me feel secure.

Priority international does not include tracking or insurance. You're seller must have included the tracking (meaning he purchase tracking without charging you additional cost). Both tracking and insurance can be purchase for priority international shipping at an additional price. Normally US seller will just quote without tracking & insurance. Because if you purchase them both the price will be about the same as shipping via express mail.

If item got held by customs...you will get a letter within 3-4 days of item held. Letter is sent via poslaju.

---

Added on October 1, 2009, 10:34 pmPriority international mail can take up to 2 weeks to reach here...in some cases 3 weeks. Did your seller said the shipping include tracking or not? If you are not sure better ask. If your seller did include tracking in the shipping then you view the tracking at UPSP website. You can also track the item at pos malaysia website as soon it reach Malaysia. If you see nothing there then it haven't reach yet. For me I give it about 2 weeks the most and then usually I can view the delivery status at pos malaysia website.

I'm waiting for an item to come from US using USPS as well.

Just wondering if the person gave me the tracking number or the receipt reference number cos it's so damn long.

I specifically asked that there be tracking number and insured.(Probably First Class Priority Mail with insurance?)

1USPSRxxYxxxxxxxxxxxx

the 'x' being numbers.

It's been 2 weeks since it was sent out(6 oct), and the person has not replied my emails regarding the tracking number. But it's through paypal so I'm not worried, yet.

Anyway, what is Priority Mail referred as here?

This post has been edited by DeinanCF: Oct 20 2009, 10:25 AM

Usually the tracking number is 13 characters.

you may get the info from:
http://www.usps.com/shipping/trackandconfi...trackandconfirm

Is considered as parcel mail...which usually can be checked at e-parcel tracking system in pos malaysia website. However...it will only appear if it has entered Malaysia (meaning check in with customs).

Express mail is poslaju so you can check at poslaju tracking

Hi svage98!

Good to hear that, but I don't know about it ... interested. Could you explain more? By example maybe ...

I have been waiting for a small parcel from Victoria, AU. It was sent on 05/10/09 via Australia Post-AIRMAIL (insured). The seller gave me the Custom article (form CP74 number). I have checked the reference no. in AU Post & also POS Malaysia web, but no result.
===
never mind. [last week I called them to check my parcel] This morning 02/11/09 I received call from Pos Malaysia today to collect my parcel.

This post has been edited by doli_pargorsi: Nov 3 2009, 12:07 AM

Hi, i would like to know how long is the delivery time from US to Malaysia if i'm using US express mail international?

My last shipment from US took 2 weeks.

My previous shipment was CVxxxxxxxxUS. Was left with a pos laju slip in mail box and only the receiver stated can claim it and no representative allowed.Dunno express or priority mail but it was definitely insured(mentioned by the pos laju master himself).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This new one till now haven't received.

tracking no(?): 1USPSR73Yxxxxxxxxxxxx(x - numbers)
(WTF tracking number??)

I can only speculate that 1USPSR73Yetc is a receipt number and not tracking number.

Anyway, I've still got 15 days from a paypal claim. TS was not responsive at all. Of 5 emails only replied once, only to say that it's in customs, but which customs? US or Malaysia? and that was 2 weeks ago, then no reply again. TS also never mentioned what type of shipping service used. zzz



I received customs letter and got a parcel earlier today, but it's not from US.

This post has been edited by DeinanCF: Nov 6 2009, 07:39 PM

So anyone know the answer to this question?

I never try Express Mail Int'l 'coz more expensive, but more reliable (with tracking).
The delivery time depends on volume/ weight of your parcel.

It should be faster than the other two (PMI/ FCMI). Refer this link:
http://www.usps.com/international/sendpackages.htm

Sharing my experience with USPS:

USPS First-Class Mail Int'l, FCMI
no tracking number
1 small parcel (weight < 0.5 kg)
Total = 6 working days, as follow:
* sent from San Marino, California on 28/08/09
* released by Kastam on 03/09/09
* received on 09/09/09


USPS Priority Mail Int'l, PMI
also small parcel
Total = 12 working days, as follow:
* sent from US on 15/09/09
* released by Kastam on 24/09/09
* received on 05/10/09

i bought almost 2K USD from us country with using the USPS..it is no problem at all. Very fast to delivery !!
1week can reach edi .

I received my Express Mail Intl package from USPS in one week flat...
Tracking was accurate until it reached Msia... then it was silent for 3 days and then boom suddenly reached my house!

bought perfume... a rare french perfume invented in year 1962, not selling in almost every country except US and France...

sending from NY ... x-my fingers... it will reach safe and sounds, if not mistaken they have used as cheap as possible... either Priority Mail® International
or
First-Class Mail® International... this is the consequences of using that damn coupon for "free delivery"

costum open those stuff??? what if they like my stuff and decided to keep it... those m0r0ns? XD

hi , if using the Priority Mail international , got any tax or charger whn arrived malaysia?

just wanna get some feedback, is it really safe to use first class shipping thou it has no tracking number?
I just won a shoe off ebay and is deciding whether to use First Class mail$27 or Priority mail$36...

This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Jul 14 2017, 09:14 PM

As long as you made your payment by Paypal, either one is safe .
( If you're not received your parcel after 7 days ,can file a Dispute to Paypal - Max:45 days )

If with Tracking no:, you can see your parcel every Single Move at the Screen

and if Without Tracking no: ,it is something like ' Blind Wait '

^
thanks alot mun, i'll be waiting for the postman then =D

Hi Everybody,

i planning to sell item in ebay. does anybody here have experience shipping item to international from k.l?..what service do you use?

thanks in advance

Bought a shoe off ebay and my first experience of using First Class Mail International. It has no tracking but I was surprise that it only took 7 days to reach my house.
Much faster compared to my previous Express Priority Mail

Class: First-Class Mail International
-Sent from COLUMBUS, OH, 16 Jan
-Released from kastam 21 Jan
-Received 23 Jan

Last time i sent a parcel from KL to china using registered mail(pos daftar), the parcel just dropped to receiver's door without notice the receiver. However, it does provide tracking number, and it's alot cheaper than other post service.

Do I need to sign for the USPS Priority Mail with Insure? My house always empty on weekdays.

Recently, I bought a MX Air Mouse receiver from Ebay seller from L.A.

Hi,

Just want to share my experience with you guys.

I bought some lip balms from US. The seller sent the parcel on the 16th of August 2010 but USPS only shipped it on the 21st of August 2010. It arrived at KLIA Pos on the 25th.

Here are the tracking details on my parcel:

Class: Priority Mail International Parcels

Your item was delivered in MALAYSIA at 4:59 pm on August 26, 2010.

The parcel was detained by Malaysia Customs on the 25th. I called KLIA's Pusat Mel & Courier Pos Malaysia (03-8787 2020) after 2 pm today to ask about my parcel and was given a number and the choice to collect the parcel myself or to wait for the letter from Pos Malaysia on Monday. So I decided to go to KLIA's Pos (it's a big Pos Malaysia building next to LCCT Terminal) to collect it myself.

First I had to report at room no 2 to get the Pos Malaysia's letter and a slip with the number of my parcel on it. Then I was directed to counter no 1 to get the parcel. Upon receiving the parcel, I had to submit my visitor's pass to the counter.

Then I had to go to counter no 5 to open the parcel in front of a custom officer. Here I was asked to declare how many items are in the parcel. He then told me to go to counter no 3 because cosmetic products must be cleared by Pharmaceutical Dept. Then the lady at counter no 3 told me that my items had to be declared first so I was directed back to room no 2 to get some declaration forms (costs RM18). The wait for the forms is quite long (almost 20-30 minutes) so patience is a must here.

Then, after finally receiving the forms, I was directed back to counter no 5 where the officer checked the papers and told me to go to counter no 3 again. The lady at counter no 3 told me to go to Pharmaceutical Dept (which is a building located across the road from Pos Malaysia's building, so you guys have to drive to go there).

At the Pharmaceutical Dept's building, I had to go to level 5 and submit my form at the counter there. The lady checked my form and asked for a sample of the product. After scrutinizing the product, she returned it to me. Then she told me that for cosmetic products (in my case lip balms/lipsticks type), they only permit 3 tubes per import as they deemed it to be enough for a month's usage. To import more than that we need to have a permit. So I was let off with a pink letter of warning. Then she directed me to go to level 3 to get my form photostated (cost me 20 cents) and then back again at level 5 to submit the photostated form to her.

She cleared my forms and then, I was directed back to Pos Malaysia so I went directly to counter no 5 and the custom officer checked the papers and then he directed me to counter no 4. The officer at counter no 4 checked my papers and keyed in some data in the computer, scribbled something on my papers and asked to look at a sample product. Then finally, I was directed back to go to counter no 1 to get my visitor's pass and the parcel was cleared! No tax needed! And the time of release was NOT 3.31 pm. It was near 5 pm actually.

Phew!! It was quite tiring running around from one counter to another and even going to another building. I guess maybe next time I'll opt to appoint Pos Malaysia to settle and send the parcel to me instead.


Hope this information is useful to you guys.

If my parcel is under gift,and then i have to open the parcel in front of custom officer right?but if they found out there's a bill of my item,will the item will be taxtable?

This post has been edited by mhaniff_11: Aug 26 2010, 10:42 PM

Yup. I guess every parcel yang kena tahan must be opened in front of the custom officer.

About your item being taxable or vice versa, I think it depends on what the item in your parcel is. For instance in my case, the custom officer put my lip balms under cosmetic products' code that is non-dutiable (and I think luck played a part too because I read somewhere in this thread or some other thread that it depends on the value of the items we imported, if more than certain amount, we'll be taxed for sure).

But electronic goods definitely will be taxed because there was this one guy before me got taxed 10% from the amount of his stuff.

Ebay seller tell that there are no USPS shipping with tracking number and Insurance available to here .

my item is declare under warranty repair..how about it?do i need to pay tax too?

I'm not sure whether my parcel was insured or not but the sender from US did use Priority Mail International Parcel and she gave me a tracking number for it. The whole process is realllly slow though. I am a newbie in this importing stuff and that was my first buy from US.

I wonder how all those sellers in forums having shopping sprees for cosmetic products from US are importing their goods? And how can we obtain the permit to import cosmetic products in the future? I tried going to the bpfk website but it was not that informative or clear.

yes i second that - it's slow depending on your luck. Mine took 16 days to arrive [USPS International Mail Priority].. that 's the range time given anyway. FedEx took 4 days - of course the cost is a different matter!.. cheers!

hello everyone,

In my case,I bought a bottle of Mc Cormick brand pure vanilla extract last 31st July.item was shipped on 2nd August from Miami,US via USPS Priority Mail International with custom form number as tracking no. When I checked with USPS website it says :

Label/Receipt Number: LJxxxxxxxUS
Class: Priority Mail International Parcels
Service(s): International Letter
Status: Electronic Shipping Info Received

The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on August 02, 2010 to expect your package for mailing. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date. Delivery status information will be provided if / when available. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.



Until today I keep receiving this electronic confirmation info,no updates.It was frustrating too since tracking number starts with LJ/LC are not traceable in Malaysia.If I knew earlier I should use more expensive postage even for 1Ib item.

I already contacted the seller about my item not received and she said usually when it comes to international shipping for foods and medical stuff US customs are very slow doing their job.they have to carefully inspects the labels,ingredients and exporting permits/licences of these things before release them for international shipping.

It's nearly 4 weeks now I haven't received any call/letter from Malaysia Customs nor Post Malaysia.Last week I went to my local post office,Sibu Sarawak asking about my parcel they said not arrived yet and just be patient. IF my item is being detained or ditahan by Customs,how long does their letter take to arrive to your home to inform you about your parcel? If they send it using normal post Malaysia it could take 2-3 weeks to arrive at my hometown here,Sibu Sarawak. sigh....

I also emailed Malaysia Customs regarding taxing of my Mc Cormick vanilla extract. In their reply they said vanilla extract are allowed for importing and not taxable here.However I need to get approval letter or some sort of kelulusan from Ministry of Health.
So my question is,how to get the approval from MOH? As I live in Sarawak this can be big hassle to get the form and submit other documentations in KLIA unless it can be done by post.If you have bought any kind of food (snacks,candy,coffee,tea,food flavourings) from online before,how to get the approval from MOH to release them from customs?

This pure vanilla extract is a gift for my mother she loves baking I want her to get a good taste of real vanilla at least once in her lifetime. Here in Sarawak for baking we are stuck with synthetic vanilla essence Star brand and many locally manufactured.God knows what they made with once I put a teaspoon in and my French toast tasted like eggy cough syrup!

Added on October 20, 2010, 8:52 amI wanted to hand collect my parcel so i called pos laju. I am very disapointed with Pos Laju Customer service.

I called 4 times yesterday and 2 times this morning:-

1. First call, the representative told me the parcels are not in the system.
2. 2nd call immediately after i hang up, the representative told me the parcel is on the way to the Post Station from KLIA. She ask me to call back 2 hours time to check which station my parcel will be @ so they can arrange for me to pick up.
3. 3rd call 2 hours later, Parcel not in system.
4. 4th call immediately, my parcel have not reached any post station, ask to call back next day 8.30am.

5. 5th call @ 830am, the rep. again said my parcel is not traceable and not recorded in system.
6. 6th call immediately after 5th, the rep say my parcel is still in KLIA.

What kinda service is this?!

Guys does this means my item is out of US or still not dispatch? Arghhh

^Means it's in transit. Usually takes about 3-5 days to arrive in Malaysia.

This post has been edited by msdevious: Dec 8 2010, 08:39 PM

If you notice, it has been 6 days since it's been dispatched (1st DEC) so it was obviously exceeded the usual 3-5days transit time

OK, I didn't notice the "International Letter" part. Forget what I said. It might take longer. For parcels, usually 3-5 days.
Also, your item hasn't left USA yet. After processed through sort facility, you will see something like this:

priority mail international is not an express service. It still take about 2 weeks to arrive, like First-Class Mail International. The only difference is priority mail international have tracking number.

if want express service, use Express mail international, but of course it'll cost you more.

As stated above...priority mail is not EMS so it is totally impossible that it will arrive here in Malaysia within 3-5 days. That would be Express Mail. Priority mail usually takes 2-3 weeks...but during holiday rush like Christmas sometimes mails can be a bit slower than expected

Your item was processed through and left our MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55413 facility on December 01, 2010. The item is currently in transit to the destination. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.



The highlighted sentence really confused me now, it can be explained as either in transit to another sorting center or to Malaysia. If it is out of US it should be International dispatch following by a date just like what msdevious showed us.

The official website of USPS stated that Express and Priority Mail International only takes 6-10 days. varies by country for First Class International, That was why i chose to use Priority because it takes about the same time compare to Express but cheaper.

I was responding to the transit time between USA and Malaysia. I've used both Priority and Express, not much difference.

For example, one of my Priority Item tracking:


compared with my Express item:


Both takes four days to arrive in Malaysia.

In Paul's case, I believe the item is still in transit to the final destination before International Dispatch and might be slower because it's in the "Letter" class? Not sure though. Mine are both parcels. And since it's near Christmas time, I expect many people would be sending Xmas cards so that might cause some delay too.

msdevious, thanks a lot for showing me the previous delivery detail you have with USPS i must say it is very useful for those who are seeking for references. After your last post regarding the transit i have the same feeling it is still in the US so i emailed the seller to check but he claimed that the items has been dispatched and out of US since 1st Dec.

He further explained that Everything seems to be delayed because of the christmas season but i should be seeing it pretty soon. Normally when the package leaves foreign customs is the next time that it is scanned and it normally takes about 6-10 days in foreign customs.

I don't trust him!

2 week is the standard time for delivery

just want 2 share

The official website state Express Mail takes 3-5 days while Priority Mail takes 6-10 days...both not the same http://www.usps.com/international/sendpackages.htm

Nice bakrul, you got your shipment in exactly 10 days, today is the 10th days for mine and i see nothing even in the tracking i don't see the international dispatch status. I think the seller conned me!

My USPS update stopped on 1st Dec till now, were yours updated frequently during the transit? i mean do you get new status every times it got to a different location or was it being updated at once after u received ur shipment?

I lost 5 parcels, bought from ebay (all in aug-sept). they give tracking no but once out from us cannot trace it anymore. 2 seller refund but the rest its ok.. they r not mine

I read somewhere there are few cases of stolen parcel in klia.. now i stop from spending overseas..

bad bad bad news for me..

Added on December 17, 2010, 10:59 pm3 weeks by now and my tracking status stay unchanged, out of US but no where to be seen. Even my snail mail without register from HK has arrived which i bought at the same time, guess USPS priority international wasn't that reliable after all. Maybe it is the seller who conned me..

Added on December 26, 2010, 12:28 pmMerry Xmas everyone! Guess i lost my Xmas present this time, my parcel is still no where to be seen and USPS got it sent out on 01 Dec so i assume it is lost.

Just to let everybody know, i ordered my stuff from US on 22-Dec10. It was shipped on 23-Dec and arrived in Customs on 26Dec.
It was cleared on 28-Dec AM and i received the parcel on 28-Dec PM. Luckily no taxes since my stuff was ard RM600.

However, my order shipment was through Express International mail (Based on the website international shipping)
So, it is quite efficient and timely manner.

Just be patient ....

Glad that you received your Xmas present in such a short period, did you receive your package through Pos Laju service instead of Pos Msia? If you don't mind would you pm me your tracking number so i can find out what service it uses when it arrive Msia because all the Tracking starting with L is handle by Pos Msia whereby starting with C and E are handle by Pos Laju.

My parcel was delivered via Pos Laju cos mine was Express Mail Shipment.
Correction on the tracking ... out from custom 28-Dec AM and received in the same day, 5hrs later.

See the initial infront .. which stated "EC"

Hi,

Just to share my experienced when you are buying stuffs from US and shipping using USPS

1) When the shipping label given (so call 'tracking #') begin with the letters 'LC'/'LJ', you can only track them until port of departure in US. (use USPS tracking on-line web)

2) When the shipping label given (so call 'tracking #') begin with the letters 'CP'/'CQ', you can only track them until to you door step. Once the item
arrived in Malaysia, you need to use 'Pos laju' tracking at the website or if your item was held by the custom, they will inform you ( no experience before) or you can call pos malaysia.

Therefore, if you want to track your stuff on-line up to door step, please advise your seller to provide tracking # with starting letter "C" NOT letter "L". Better pay for the tracking #
starts with letter "C".

OR

You can use trusted group 'spree' buying from US that provided from member in the forum.

Please advise if I'm wrong on the above information.

Thanks

Yes, they will leave a card/letter for u to go to collect the parcel at pos office or u can call them to re-attempt the next day.

hm...im in kl now...i called home...my mom said apa pun tarak...=(

maybe they didn't attempt or tomorrow only receive th eletter.. but to be sure better call them to ask

i have received my stuff...just happened that my mom was opening the gate they were there...=)

my experience buying @ eBay from US, mail by U.S. Postal Service.

Payment made on 4th Jan 2011.

Shipping details
Mailing date: Jan 5, 2011
Shipper: U.S. Postal Service
Tracking number: LJxxxxxxxxxUS
Service type: Priority Mail International®
Shipping Status: Shipped

Item received on the 13th Jan 2010.

The tracking number is useless, info not up to date via their website...

^Anything starting with LJ... can't be tracked.
Priority Mail International and Express Mail International starting with C... and E... can.

even r service type is Priority Mail international but it look like it a flat rate priority and LJ can be track as shipping status only.at least we know that order had been shipped out just wait patiently.

For me, usually:

USPS First Class Mail - from California to Shah Alam - will take min 10 days to max 14 days. Never more than that. Anything that came out from any ulu cities, will take double the time. Usually east coast will go through main in Florida and west coast will go through main in California.

USPS Priority Mail - usually 10 days will reach, never more.

Actually can say that it's quite fast dy.

Once I bought something from China - took a damn 5 weeks to reach. WTH?

I lost a gift worth RM200+ with USPS Priority Mail International..... it has been almost 2 months... it has never arrive...

LNXXXXXXXXXUS

can i know what does this mean?? the seller said this is the tracking number but in usps website and pos laju website both got no record wo.. can i know what happened??
