I feel you guys, their international shipping rate is expensive now.

But come on, how often they increase their price? Every year? No right? When petrol prices went up few times, they did not increase their postage fee, but when they suddenly made a big change and you felt the pain, then everyone make noise.

Prices are going up everywhere, if they keep the same rate, how can they survive? How the employees wanna survive?

What if they increase the postage fee yearly, and the increment rate is low that you don't feel the big change. Will it be any different?

I checked, 200 gram from US to Msia also costs about RM40 d, and Msia to US you expect to be still RM15?

Pos Malaysia can't please everyone. So far, from my selling and buying experience, Pos Malaysia has NEVER failed me. I have not experienced missing parcels when sending or receiving. Maybe sometimes slight delay, but at least parcel is still is good shape. I received parcels in good shape, normal post from Japan reach me within 7-10 days. FYI, my parcels from Japan are NOT TRACKABLE, and yet they always reach me smile.gif

I believe all courier service companies are the SAME. Why? Because they are handled by humans. I received parcels from Hong Kong via FedEx before, 3 times, box dented. Of course, the seller packed in a weak box, but that doesn't mean that using FedEx/DHL/UPS will ensure that you'll get your parcel is good condition. My friend ordered Nexus 4 phone from the US, shipped via DHL, went missing.

I planned to expand my business internationally via eBay, but after doing some calculations, I know I'll be making loss. Simple for me, don't sell internationally, only sell hot items and make buyers pay for the shipping cost.

Conclusion, deal with it. You're doing online business and you depend on a shipping company. Once you depend on something, you'll have to take the risk. Unless you have a big company doing big business and get special rates from DHL/UPS/FedEx, then go ahead smile.gif
