If you want the Poslaju sealing plastic from them, then request from them but only post offices with Poslaju centres have this.

The Poslaju sealing plastic is FOC?

Hey, i'm goin to use pos laju to deliver some goods to my frens. Its my 1st time.

The size is something like phone casing or cassette size for 1 unit. Have around 8-10 units to deliver. the total weight is less than 1kg.

So do they count by weight or volumetric?
What am i suppose to do 1st?
arrange properly at home n put in a big envelope 1st?? or i have to let the officers/staffs to weight my goods 1st??

If possible please guide me thanks...

A post laju staff told me that if the item looks big but doesn't weigh much then they will use volumetric. But if it looks and feels heavy, then no.

How big? No idea, you have to bring there first.

Okay. I need to send several books to another state. Paperback size but not that thick. What's the best way to do so? Box? Wrapped in paper and bubble wrap tied with string? Please advice.

If you can find a suitable box then that would be the best way. Make sure you put plenty of cushioning inside (crumpled newspaper is good) so the book edges will not get dented. If no box then tricky a bit. I suggest you use bubble wrap on the book followed by at least 2 layers of newspaper and another (or 2) layers of A4/A3 paper to provide additional protection.


Added on November 1, 2008, 11:48 amOh wait, I just noticed your username haha. When are you free to sell the Patrick? If possible can we COD at Mid Valley during weekdays? Let me know what time you are free also.

Oh I see. I a tissue box counted as a box then? I'll be putting the books in a plastic bag first to avoid denting. Is that okay too? The A4/A3 paper, can it be white? Or must it be the brown? Thanks. And after the paper, do I still need to tie it with a piece of string or just leave it like that?

PMed ya about Patrick!

Tissue box may not be strong enough, it could get squashed in the delivery truck with the other stuffs. A4 paper can be either white or brown but I recommend white so the recipient's address can be seen clearly. No need to use string anymore.

hi,

I am selling bubble wrap. I have no idea how to post this item.When I want to post it, it looks bulky and lightweight, I am sure those post office/courier officer will count the postage fees by using volumetric method.

Can anyone tell me which courier company have the cheapest posting fees?
FYI, I can use normal parcel service instead of express service coz all my buyer is not in urgent need of this.

Below are the picture of the bubble wrap, this is about 1 meter in height.

you send money through postage? if its normal postage like clothes, items etc then no (if you post through post office/poslaju)

i heard the parcel service at the post office can send items up to 1 metre (they count by weight). or nationwide (im not sure about the name) last time they told my brother tht they only count the weight so the size doesnt matter?

Sometimes those delivery guys just knock the door very softly once, if you did not open up the door in around 15sec, they just left, they don't even bother to press the doorbell.
I experience things like this quite a few times, and I ended up collect the parcel myself at their office. rclxub.gif
