Yes, it is. Find more reputable courier companies like GDex, FeDex, DHL, ABX, Skynet and etc.

Oh, if it's Sure Reach I'm not sure of the procedure. However, I've received parcel before from Sure Reach, very good service. They called me to enquire for my location and reached my house earlier as estimated.

To be honest. I'm kinda paranoid of Poslaju when it comes to international shipping. If I were you, I will spend more for other courier services like DHL, FeDex...

Yes, Poslaju is a like a form with sticker at the back. After you fill in, just give to the officer and he/she will paste for you. You don't need to do that yourself, they actually don't allow.
Correct, the envelopes thingy is Pos Ekspres.

The difference of Poslaju and Pos Ekspres is one requires recipient's signature (Poslaju) while one doesn't require (Pos Ekspres). The similarity is both takes about the same duration to reach. I never face any delay using them, but still some claimed Pos Ekspres is a little inefficient.
Poslaju has different rate, depends on the volumetric measurements and location while Pos Ekspres has same rate throughout whole Malaysia.

Hope this helps.

Today, no. First Saturday of the month.

If in this case, I think it is implemented to whole Malaysia.
My good friend is from Kuching, oh gosh for me to send her parcels every month.
Maybe I will opt for a cheaper alternative - Pos ekspres if for smaller items.

You can always post your parcels during the lunch hour.

For my case, my time is flexible as I'm still a student and one little post is office is located in my campus, it is very convenient for me.

But well, most of the sellers I encounter here send their goods during the lunch hour, gonna sacrifice some time there whereas some start work at 9.00 a.m., so they will do it before working as post office opens at 8.30 a.m.

Can say so. But Pos Ekspres doesn't require recipient's signature, so the thing might go missing as postman will just put it into your mailbox.

Cheap and small things use Pos Ekspres.
Anyway, I would say its designated different sizes of envelopes is kinda helpful.

Poslaju is a better option for more expensive items and items that need to be sent in parcel form (boxes).

Erm. Even bus fares have increased 30% of surcharge starting 15.09.08.
Fuel price decreases or increases, not going to make any difference.

Luckily, the increase for this postage rate is considered little.

Yes, there are special Pos Ekspres envelopes available in the post office. Just buy from them.

If you are using Poslaju, you have to prepare all your packaging materials yourself.
If you want the Poslaju sealing plastic from them, then request from them but only post offices with Poslaju centres have this.

1. No, only at post offices.
2. As far as I remember, MidValley branch opens on Sundays.

Well, sure can. Have you received packaging from Gdex or Skynet before? They are using some sort of plastic bag right? That was what I meant.

As far as I heard, it is free but only Poslaju centres have this.

It is already delivered to the recipient and he/she she should have received already.

I received mine from Kuching to Port Dickson in one day and from Malacca to Kuching also one day.
Track after 15 days?
I can track on the same day after I send out my parcel.
This is the link: http://www.pos.com.my/V1/main2.asp?c=/v1/T...pres/first1.asp

Anyway, you misinterpreted the meaning:

It means the record will only stay in their database for 15 days after you deliver the parcel. After that, they will remove the information.
Not that you can only track after 15 days.
