Don't know about Japan but I've shipped to NZ and Canada before via registered post. Takes around 1-2 weeks. It's letter though, not parcel. This one just stick the airmail sticker, the registered mail sticker and stamps.

If parcel post, shipped to NZ before, took 3-4 weeks. This one need fill in form like Poslaju and usually at Poslaju counter.

The tracking number looks like Parcel Post.
Poslaju will start with EM..MY and PosDaftar starts with RD..MY.

Best is you call Pos Malaysia hotline and ask them to track this number. Also make sure that the tracking number is correct.

What Johor to perak?

I don't know. I like in Shah Alam so I wouldn't know how long it would take from Johor to Perak. It's best you check Pos Malaysia website or give them a call to enquire.

There's an authorize thingy for your friend to fill up to authorize you to collect on their behalf.

I'm not sure about that. Haven't tried that yet. You can try. Andden let us know here.

I sent parcel post to KT before, around RM10 for 1kg. You can check the rates on their website.

Took around a week to 9 days.

Within klang valley takes 1-3 working days.

Local town not sure. Better ask post office. Should be 1-3 working days too.

May take up to 1-2 weeks.

Yes, PosDaftar requires you to wrap it in brown paper and write the sender's address behind too.
The Pos Daftar is RM2.20. If very light, then RM2.20 will be enough, or else need to top up with stamps. Check Pos Malaysia website for more detailed information. Pretty sure there's the link to it somewhere on this thread.

I use Poslaju at least every week.

Yes, even how small also they'll still accept it, no matter what packaging as well. They will provide you the plastic flyer to put in your wrapped item then there's a pocket for the form to go into.

Yes, do make sure you take the necessary actions to protect your item. It's your responsibility to do so. We cannot trust the courier people, even other courier services also handle the parcels very roughly. Wrap in bubble wrapper and newspaper or even better is put it in a box with lots of foam and stuff if it can break easily.

You can check here for more info on Pos Daftar: http://www.pos.com.my/pos/personal/special...pos_daftar.aspx
RM2.20 is included of 20g, anything more than that then you can refer to the general mail postage rates here: http://www.pos.com.my/pos/appl/general_mail_rate.asp
Usually if extra little bit, I'll have to pay total RM2.40 or RM2.60 like that. Best is just let them do the calculation, don't want them to return to sender because of insufficient stamps.

As far as I'm concern, Pos Daftar has not increase their rates recently. The last increase was from RM1.70 to RM2.20 (as seen on Pos Daftar webpage above). This was quite some time ago already.

I don't think that there is any way that Pos Daftar goes up to RM7. Where did she post it from? East Malaysia? Poslaju is only RM5.95 and delivers next working day. RM7 per letter is like private company courier charges already.

I posted some documents via Posdaftar the other day and the rates were the same, no increase. I'm not sure about the 'certain post office' thing, but if you wanna clarify, you can ask your seller to get a black and white letter from that particular post office of this 'increased charges' and call up the post office customer care line for more information. Even so, I don't think there's any way at all that it'll be increased to RM7. That's almost 2.5 times the usual charges.

Posdaftar letters are usually delivered together with your normal letters. They will provide a card if no one is at home to sign it off. Do you have the tracking number? Posdaftar tracking number starts with RD... and ends with ...MY. Please call up the post office to ask where's the parcel and you can go and pick it up from the post office. Posdaftar usually will take around 3-5 working day from Penang to Klang Valley. Within Klang Valley, it's usually 1-3 working days only. If WM to EM, it may take up to 2 weeks. Anything more than that, please call post office to enquire and chase them about it.

Also take into consideration of festive season, posting anything over the festive season has the risk of getting lost in post and it is also one of the reasons why your delivery is delayed.

I guess the only thing you can do now is to call them up and reconfirm with them.
Better make sure where is it first before you go all the way to the post office, just to find out that it's not there.

Means it's sent to that particular post office already.

^give around 5-7 working days. Maybe faster.

My experience from Shah Alam to East Malaysia is around 1-2 weeks.

Just keep calling them and chasing them for answers.
