Hello, we're in the midst of migrating, and we have lots to send back to Australia (since AirAsia's luggage allowance is only 20kilos).

The issue is, we have a lot of LCD screens, about 6 to 7 that needs to be shipped back by sea (monitors are for personal use, not for sale or anything... hehe). Plus lots of electronic stuff, LAN cables, modems, etc basically our life! Wondering, if this will cause any issue with the customs on both countries? Previously, we flew with AirAsia and took 5 monitors with us without any trouble at all. Any input will be appreciated. And, does Pos Malaysia accepts credit card?

I read that the boxes need to have a specific measurement, but when i went to the main POS near Pasar Seni, the lady said only the weight matters. Which one is true? And must be wrapped in brown paper? (saw them selling though).

Help would be greatly appreciated smile.gif

Found this link though : http://www.pos.com.my/pos/services/posmel/...ail/parcel.aspx

Means the address area can stick an envelope on it instead of wrapping it whole in brown? And what does the insurance limit means?

And they didn't mention about forbidden items.

Replied to the Bolded Part.

If the Actual weight of the Item is more than the dimensional weight, they will charge u by the actual weight. But if the weight is lesser than the dimensional weight, they will charge u by volumetric.


To find out the Volumetric (dimensional weight) : Length x Width x Height / 6000
