Poslaju is fine, you can send it at any pos office or poslaju centre.

You don't have to wrap the box if it is plain colour, just make sure it is secured, cellophane taped all over. And you can also request from the counter for a flyer (the plastic bag) to add to its protection against rain etc.

I am really a beginner in this stuff. May i know whether Poslaju will put the documents in the mail box of the receiver or directly pass the documents to the receiver? Are there any differences between Poslaju and other couriers like Gdex, DHL or Skynet?
Ok noted, i will put my document inside the A4 sized box given by the printing shop, i will check whether this is considered big for the courier company.
How can i pass the documents to the courier? Do i need to find their office?

Poslaju is like any other courier, so the delivery needs to be signed by the receiver. Not much difference between Poslaju and other private courier except the price. For documents, Poslaju rate is usually the cheapest, unless if it is heavy (other couriers may get cheaper if the parcel gets heavier, e.g. more than 10kg). DHL is international company so it is much more expensive. (In fact I'm not even sure if DHL do pure domestic business or only cater cross-country shipments).

Another difference is most local private courier needs you to have an account with them to use their service. For poslaju you don't need to open an account.

Are you sending a big bulk of document that cannot be fit into an envelope? Note that any of these courier charge by weight so unless it is necessary, don't send by bulky box as this will only add to the cost.

From my personal experience (it will vary from others), if no one is home to receive it, Poslaju will never call and they will just leave a message saying to pick it up at their branch (it will be stated). Whereas Ta-Q-Bin & Kangaroo, they have called me before coming to make the delivery. So far I have use Poslaju, never have any problems at all. Other than the mentioned courier services, I have never tried the others.

Whether they will call or not, it depends on the drivers regardless of the company. I've met good guys as well as bad guys from either Poslaju or other private couriers.

Sorry for the mistake, I expressed it in the wrong way. Thanks for the correction =).

Like I said, personal experiences, all varies. Different driver different working attitude. Previously I had no trouble with Kangaroo before. After they change driver, man, for my that area, they sure sucked. Parcel from PJ to KL can take them almost a week reach me. They never call, actually they went to the neighboring residence 3 times and said no one was home, but in fact I was home waiting for the parcel. Unfortunately, the neighboring residence name was similar to mine.

No worries, I didn't mean to point any wrong, we are just sharing our experience smile.gif .

My worst experience was with Skynet, once the driver just tossed up my parcel inside my gate, and so happen it got drenched up by the rain. When I checked the online tracking info, the driver even have nerve to invent the name of the recipient wink.gif.

Oh and another advice to TS, take note of the tracking number and check yourself its whereabout from time to time. Do not rely on them to call/inform you on the status of the delivery.
