Today, I go to Poslaju @ 11:25am to post my stuff. They charged me RM8.55 (delivered from Kch, Sarawak to West M'sia). The stuff only weight @ 0.12kg.

They say it's the new price starting this month.

Old price : RM 7.50
New Price : RM 8.55
Increased by : RM 1.05

Is the price apply to Sarawak only or whole Malaysia?

Thx!

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.

i thought pos mys will not operate for 5.5 days in conjunction of raya? surprise that you still manage to send your items lol

POSLAJU fuel surcharge has increase from 10% to 25%

Previously, within peninsular Malaysia for 500g and below:
(4.50+10%)+5% = 5.1975 after round up became RM5.20

Now, effective starting 1st October 2008, within peninsular Malaysia for 500g and below:
(4.50+25%)+5% = 5.90625 after round up becomes RM5.90

Between peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak for 500g and below would be: (6.50+25%)+5% = RM8.55
Between peninsular Malaysia and Sabah for 500g and below would be: (7.00+25%)+5% = RM9.20

Yup, happen to pass by the Poslaju to try my luck... They do open today, but they will only start deliver stuff by next Tuesday only...

Ok, I've read through all 16 pages and I think I've come to this conclusion.

Cheap & small items = Pos Ekspres
Anything else = Pos Laju

So do most of our Gundam traders here use Pos Laju?

Another thing, how do you people find the time to post and collect your items? The post office close before 6 and I'm sure most of your office hours are around that time also. Does this mean you can only do it on weekends?

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.

Oooh, you are student of course la. Some more got post office nearby. For me, nearest post office also have to drive about 10 minutes.

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.

Ok, so let me just make sure again:

Pos Ekspres for small & cheap item (like keychains)

Pos Laju for anything else

Correct?

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).

Ok, thanks. Time to sleep...

thanks for the useful information....
but i thought fuel price decrease d..
why they increase it?

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.

not considered that little btw,

from 10% to 25% is a lot.

fast service, but not the postman
there's once when postman called my hp, but since the line are not worked properly, i barely hear him, then he scolded me??? for what???
but only one postman lorh

hmm... never have trouble with Poslaju, all the stuff I sent usually arrived at my recipient place by the next day... very reliable...

the most, they took 2-3 days to delivered it only...
