Hi, i plan to send 2 pieces of paper to japan with insured pos daftar/registered mail. But i not sure want to use small box(9cm x 6cm x 5cm) or normal envelope for document to pack the paper. Because that two pieces of paper very important to me and i want to put insurance fee on it in case if the registered mail also missing on the delivery way.

But when i ask pos office ppl, they told me that insurance service cannot be use if send using normal envelope for document, only available if send using box. My fren told me that if i send using small box(9cm x 6cm x 5cm), it is possible to be missing on the way as the delivery guy may miss the small box.

So i wonder which one should i use? normal envelope or small box? I feel that maybe using the small box with insurance is the most secure because if it missing i also can claim the compensation.

why not use EMS? insurance covered
i think the EMS postage is about RM73

further,it's much more easy to track than normal registered mail

Normal registered mail will show this only >> Dispatch To 640005

use the box since you said it is covered by insurance

but the EMS fee is at least 6 times than the registered mail fee...no choice, if EMS cheap i also want to use it.

thx for the comment

You can use a bigger box.

Your box is too small. You are unable to fit it all details 1) address, 2) custom form, 3) stamps, 4) registered sticker, 5) air mail sticker 6) return address

How much is the insurance for the item?

u better use box
if u use envelope like A4 size sure they will fold the envelope
thank you

thx for the advice. Insurance fee stated at their website is pay rm3 for every rm100 of the item value...but when i ask at pos office counter, i need to pay another rm2 for customs fee...not sure what that fee for.

thx for advice.
