Postage Q&A

A: Same with Poslaju. 6pm. (6)

Q: Does Poslaju deliver on Sunday?
A: No, except in Terengganu, Kelantan and Kedah (7)

Q: How do I track overseas packages?
A: It is possible to track overseas package. (except package via USPS First-Class) The procedures are: (14)
1. The package must be registered.
2. The tracking number given can be tracked on the foreign post office website.
3. Once the package has landed in Malaysia, it can be tracked by PosDaftar. The recipient can also request the local tracking number from Pos Malaysia.

Q: What is the difference between Pos Express and Pos Laju?
A: They're almost the same in the sense that both are delivered to your doorstep, but
Pos Express may be less secure because the recipient can be anyone. (10)

Q: Does Poslaju require a signature for all the mail/package no matter what size is it?
A: The new Pos laju form requires you to tick either "Document" or "Non-document". If you tick non-document, then you may have to declare its contents and sign it off too. (11, 12)

i just went to post something using post laju, very very expensive

they now kira like this:

panjang. length (cm) x lebar. width (cm) x tinggi. height (cm) then finally devide by 6000 = your post laju weight

i only post something for 1.5KG, but according to the post malaysia calculation above, my stuff is 5.148KG, it cost me RM29.40 !

hi, got a noob question to ask..
if i wan to post a GC (Fx 5500) to buyer what service should i use???
Poslaju For Document or Poslaju For Parcel...
last time i buy some accesarry (UV molex + Fan damnpaner), the seller use poslaju to send me wif only RM 4.5...he use the poslaju plastic bag to put the items...
izzit we can use poslaju document to send those things??

Poslaju parcel, all you'll have to do is tick the option "Parcel" on the form
Pack the card in a box with proper padding and you're good to go

Well you could use an envelope with padding on the inside, but i wouldnt recommend that

thx for guiding me this courier noob
y not recommend using the envolope since i dun hv box...only use the transparent buble plastic to wrap the item

how much if shipping gfx card arround 500g from jb to kl

If less than 500g, approx RM 5. More than dat, RM 6

now post laju sucks ! i jus post a figure kasumi !! it cost me RM 31 !! wahhhhhh

Because the way they handle the item. They might throw it around or when in transit something heavy might sit on your envelope, etc.

where to collect our packages if they leave the card? im staying in shah alam.. and until what time we can collect?

what happended to pos malaysia web site!! arghhh

ya ..... lately pos laju service is SUX and the web site keep on cant preview .. wat man !! wat happen ???

HEY , wat if i tracked this post and It 's said" failed delivery "

Dat means abg posmen came 2 ur place but nobody was in. So most likely he'd hav left a slip inside ur mailbox. U hav 2 go collect urself @ Pejabat PosLaju

tracking no use for what?
just want to know...

to track the stuff that u sent.. can see where izit now, whether it's still undelivered, pending or already delivered..

Do Poslaju works on Monday and the following week of Raya ?

This post has been edited by Andy0625: Oct 21 2006, 02:05 PM

i think i saw 1 of the post office paste the notice
21 till 24 of oct. no open for pos office .. may be u should try to check out more details ..

This post has been edited by bee1927: Oct 21 2006, 03:02 PM

This Monday (2moro) public holiday sure close lah. Wk after Raya all back 2 normal

anyone having problem to trace poslaju these days?
i am not able to trace the pos ler.. saying that data maintance..

how much is the rate for registered post?

does this also applies to PosEkspress?

PosDaftar is similar to normal shipping where u hav 2 weigh & then get stamps. Just that u need get the sticker for xtra RM 1.70. So, in short, the rate depends on weight


PosEkspres doesnt require signatures so the posmen 'll just put inside mailbox or throw over into ur home compound

The cheapest way to send an item to oversea if using which service?

Let say it's a Tin of COCACOLA size, weight 300gram?? (For example only)

yeah.. just now me also kena like that.. damm..



did you mean that volumetric weight only apply for EMS only? then why my parcel also kena..



couldnt find it.. the web not so informative.. this is what i understand.. locally, they call it pos laju.. internationally they call EMS.. is it correct?

Via Pos Malaysia's sea shipping but vry slow lah


Dats wht I read frm the banner inside post offices. And so far even if parcels I send weigh little but big kotak they just follow ol' method

How about Air Flight shipment? the cheapest way?

I'd like 2 clarify dat Volumetric Weight calculations r applied 2 both PosLaju & EMS. Not just the latter as I formerly mentioned. My utmost sorry for any inconveniences caused yea

This post has been edited by bombman: Dec 11 2006, 01:13 AM

Hi all!

I just want to inquire, if I'm shipping somethin small (eg. RAM) would it be cheaper to send by POSTLAJU or private courrier companies? What would the approximate cost be? Would it depend on the size of the box I ship it in? Which would be the safer alternative?

Thanks!

PosEkspres 'll b cheapest. Get the box type

PosLaju 'll cost slightly more but faster

It's only cheap via courier companies if u hav account w/ them (means u need register & hav own company)

if sent today... can check today or have to wait tomorrow?

Even if you declare it as non-document, most of the post office only charge for documents rate which is RM4.73 for below 0.5 kg. Recently i quoted a buyer for shipment charges for 100 pcs LED's with in Peninsular Malaysia. The seller referring to poslaju webpage where shipment for parcel is charged at RM8.00 for below 0.5kg . Should I pay RM 8 or RM 5?

For PosLaju, it'll b updated the vry moment they scan ur form. For PosEkspres / PosDaftar once reach collection centre only


The price for parcels' less than 500g is RM 4.73. There hasnt bn such thing as being charged RM 8 in my trading history unless btwn Peninsula & Sabah/S'wk

What to do if the stupid pos officer have misplaced the PosLaju form with another parcel?
It happen to 2 of my customer today...

if i wanna post a case,which is very heavy (approx 12kgs) how much roughly it would be charged?

last time,may 06.............i sent a parcel using pos malaysia sea mail parcel service to sabah n it cost RM13.5 for 11.2KG

This post has been edited by speedoom: Jan 8 2007, 02:34 PM

checked it from post laju website..the cost is RM56 for pos laju and approx RM15 for pos express..
which is more secure?

Means som1 else form was sticked onto ur parcel�



AFAIK, u cant ship somtin' as big as a casing via PosEkspres. Only 2 options available : PosLaju or standard parcel (u can add few more bucks for PosDaftar)

Alternately, u may enquire private courier companies. Some offer attractive rates even for walk-in customers but I'd totally 4gotten the charges

nvm..i used pos daftar to ship both heavy items..one to perlis and another one to pinang and each one costs below RM20..but i require more times to get delivered.

so basically which is the best and cheap method to post a pc casing?especially the heavy one..

hi, i am so dead

i posted a parcel to a wrong address to someone.... any changes i will lost the parcel ?

you can call Poslaju service centre and try to track that the package and try to ask them to sent back to ur sender location (if the parcel still in their hand)

but the problem now i vv scared other ppl take liao

damn myself....

BTW i am using gdex...

This post has been edited by Mcrae: Jan 13 2007, 06:45 PM

Just hope that receiver will inform you and send back to you if he/she is kind enough.
It happens to me once, but luckily the receiver are damm kind to return my stuffs to me....
It's nothing u can do, because it is your fault in the 1st place.

can i track my poslaju parcel if i send it to singapore?

do they send pos laju on sat?

yes, they are only off for the first saturday and public holidays.

yay
thank you^^
that means my stuff will arrive on sat if they pos laju it tmr rite^^
cool thank you fruitie^^

Hye guys, i have a question to ask, hope someone can clarify me on the following matter.

i am selling my psp to a fellow forumer here in LYN. the thing is, i'm in JB while he's in Kelantan, so far away thus have to do by postage. i wont be using poslaju due to past bad experience with them, instead will be using either skynet or abx courier service.

what i'm really worried of now is that if anything happen during shipping due to mishandling of the item, will the courier company hold responsibility for the damage and pay back the full amount of the item?

hope someone can answer this question for me, thanks a lot

They wont compensate u fully & the terms varies frm 1 company to another. So the best is check w/ the one u gonna use directly. But if item just damaged/broken I dont think they'll even entertain

Gee

Thanks for the answer bro. So in this case, buyer has to understand that seller shall NOT be held responsible for damage during shipping.....

Dats not fully rite. In my personal opinion, seller still has this 'limited' responsibilty like making sure item properly packed (befitting its nature) , updating customers on latest status & cross-check w/ shipping company in case any prob crops up

One definitely dont want a customer thousands of kilometres away ordering somtin' & later felt unsatisfied due to seller's own mistake.

Go as far possible in makin' their life easier & happier, & they'll come back again & again 2 u. They wont even think of other sellers

got a question here,
the fee of posting postlaju is different $$ at different area?
**my area parit buntar, perak
recently i post a parcel,
the fee is very expensive which reaches 20++,

but my customer said (sarawak),
the fee should be RM15+- and he said he very familiar with it
he said from penang post to sarawak should just at the cost he mentioned,
just hope someone can give me the answer,
thanks~

The questions is:
1. Is the postage fee different with different location?
2. Is the postage fee more expensive at ulu-ulu punya area?
The postage fee is pointed to sending parcel.

hi,
i buying sumting on9 and the seller is sending the stuff using registered mail (posdaftar) and it cost RM9 for 950gram weight.

I juz want to know..
Is this price reasonable or his the seller extra-charging me?
What the difference between registered mail and poslaju?
It seem to be more expensive and slower....
Hope u guys can help me...
Thanks....

Probably u r bein' charged based on volumetric weight coz shipment charge frm anywhere in Peninsula to S'wk is uniform



If it's within Peninsula, dats too high unless the seller is also charging for handling services

PosLaju is faster than PosDaftar (it's just normal delivery w/ xtra service whr recipient's signature required)

I got a question here regarding pos express services..

Every pos express envelope has stated the max weight and thickness right?
like RM2.50 one has stated Do Not Exceed Limit; Max Weight:100gm, Max Thickness:3mm

Let say i wanna post a stuff and the total weight and thickness are 110gm and 3.5mm respectively. What will happen if we exceed the limit given? Any actions taken by posmalaysia guyz?

This post has been edited by kalakatu: Feb 26 2007, 07:48 PM

Frm my xprience, nothin' happened. I xceed their specified limits so often

And the counter gals also told me dont worry, just make sure it's possible 2 seal the envelope properly

This post has been edited by bombman: Feb 27 2007, 12:25 AM

haha..thanks for the very good answer..i feel relieved now..
so we can say nothing will happen as long the envelope can be sealed properly..

Hi guys, is anyone know poslaju is imposed this "Surcaj Bahan Api" to all domestic document and parcel ?

I only know this today, shocking me have to pay RM20 extra ....

Click spoiler to see ..

my fren sent some document to me via pos express.....in the pos system, it written delivered, but i didnt received, wat can i do next?

Guess it's already xplained in PosLaju Service thread


Act nothing much can b done since it doesnt require signature 2 con4m. I've heard complaints frm some customers previously that posmen simply throw the envelopes into their home compound

can i collect the item on sunday?

No u can't... you can collect the item on working days only

if i send logitech g15 wif box...wrap it up...how much poslaju fee??
send from malacca to perak??? thanks!!!

Mostly around RM 6 - 7..depends on the weight. The minumum charge will be RM 5.18 for first 500gram. Hope it helps

It'll b easierl 4 us 2 ans whn u can provide est of shipping weight (after item packed)

G15 size already exceeded the normal volumetric weight, the price you pay for shipping must be higher than RM5.2

i found that the Track&Trace at pos.com.my doesn't work.
just now i want to track an item,after i enter the cod and it said no record..

can anyone provide me a working Track&Trace web address?

It's sometimes like this because the record is not yet updated. And, the tracking web site is the right one just the database is not being updated yet.
For fast tracking, call this no. 1300300300 fast and reliable.

I got a 13KG parcel on the way from Russia using normal Parcel Airmail,so if they arrived here do the postman just leave my parcel at my mailbox or they will deliver to my doorstep? or perhaps collcting it at local post office?

Thanks!

hey guys I have one someone whos gonna post me something measuring 111 X 20 X 9 cm weighing around 7-8 KG. How much would the postage be if use PosLaju. Really confused now bout the volumetric n weight measurement.

Its from Klang to Kuching.

Thanx in advance!

Pos Malaysia Careline service very bad like wtf wooo....he scold me coz Im asking many question!

Pos Laju rates go up by 10%

By M. KRISHNAMOORTHY

PETALING JAYA: Sending letters or parcels by Pos Laju now costs 10% more.

The increase, effective March 1 and attributed to rising fuel costs,

is on top of the current 5% surcharge.

Pos Laju's chief operating officer Firdaus Azharuddin said most of the courier companies in Malaysia had increased their charges last year.

"We could not introduce it last year because we experienced some technical difficulties, so we absorbed the increase in fuel cost. The cost of aviation fuel has gone up and we are forced to increase the cost," he added.

Fomca chief executive T. Indrani said the 10% increase was not justified.

"It is shocking to find out about the increase when there has been no recent increase in the pump prices of petrol or diesel fuel.

"Even the cost of aviation fuel has declined recently, so I cannot understand why Pos Laju wants to increase its rates."

A check by The Star showed that the increase in rates came with a promise of better service.

A message to customers from Pos Malaysia was headlined, "Quality service is important to us because it is important to you."

"A 10% increase on domestic shipping charges will allow us to

be better equipped in providing you with improved delivery services."

Is it big? Is it heavy? Is it at remote area?

will poslaju be open this thurs? coz some considers it as holiday and some don't. which brings us to the question whether or not poslaju is counted as civil service.

Nope, on 26th April it will close. It's a public holiday.

It is not a public holiday. The private sector is working on that day. So far I heard is that civil servants and the banks are closed.

I know but I heard that post office will close on that day wor.

OT: MMU is off on that day.

With 10% incresed, does this mean that they will improve/provide us good service like handle good care of the parcel when delivering? I don't think so...
They just simply dump the parcel to the floor even I just standing in front of the officer when paying the PosLaju fees. Now thats improved service we got there

There's a parcel from the seller to me is lost now.
What i can do is leave it to the seller to settle it with poslaju.

Sigh , what kind of courier is this ?

I think the seller have the rights to claim compensation if the items is really lost. It is up to the seller but since it's a third party fault, you both can settle this together.

Give PosLaju a call if IT IS REALLY LOST! You see, sometimes people con by giving these kind of excuses. Did you try tracking your item? The seller who sent it should have the tracking number though...

I dont think the items is really that expensive for the reputative seller to con me.
He's trying his best to go to posoffice to settle.
I'm giving him more time though.

Yes , i do have the tracking number , no avail of the item though.

What is the cheapest between Fedex,DHL and UPS for 10KG shipment to Malaysia?From USA

Thanks!

How much?

some1 sent me something from Klang to kuching weighing 4kg and it only cost RM5.50. Its by pos malaysia. Juz wanted tyo know what kinda service is that since he oso blur blur.

Woot... the item weighted 4kg with the price of RM 5.50? Definitely not PosLaju or any private courier service. If using Pos Daftar also cost above RM 5.50. Did you clarify with that person which service is he using?

yeah he said its from pos malaysia but he donknow anything coz they kau tim everything for him. n BTW. The traking code starts with CD which is kinda weird.

did u get the item??

not yet. GAve me a timeframe between 1-2 weeks. Gonna check with posmalaysia on Mon.

i don't think he really sent the item... pos malaysia only offer poslaju and pos parcel. poslaju tracking start with E and pos parcel start with R.

planing to send some teddy n stuff to sarawak, the box will be big due to obvious reason, will they charge me by volumetric calculation or just weight it? since its not breakable stuff, register pos/ pos express posible? how long it needs and wat r the rates?

i send an amp b4 to sabah i think with poslaju, they still weight it, cant remember how much tho.

This post has been edited by xtorm: Apr 28 2007, 09:13 AM

i also want to ask. i want to send item to one using poslaju but with two box.. does poslaju charge me once or twice??

Hi,just wanna ask how long does PosLaju take to ship the things?Thanks

actually is it secure? i scare damage.

refer to my trade list that what I sold, mostly is done by pos laju, none of it given any trouble.

1 surprise is got once time I sent the item on friday around 3pm, and the buyer got the item next day.

as long as you send it before the post office cut off time, it should be delivered the next day

Hi just wanna ask. have any of you send items to UK before through DHL or Fedex? can i know their price and duration they take. and due to the thing i wanna to send is notebook so will they cover for any damage or lost? Poslaju is quite fast and cheap but some ppl say no insurance for it. so any advice? thanks

Don't send between weekends, sometimes it will get damage due to the weekend transit which they stack up all the things inside a store.

thanks~~~

Added on May 3, 2007, 9:38 pmcan know have open this saturday?if i post the item tomorrow, can arrived there at saturday?


This post has been edited by spenny_yan: May 3 2007, 09:38 PM

U'll b charged according to volumetric weight


Unlike other shipping companies, PosLaju considers that as 2 separate parcels


PosLaju is indeed often more secure & reliable than others


This isnt always the case all depends on the person(s) handling things. Somtimes even inside the post office the staff simply throw around


1st Sat is public hol so post office closed

Im in kampong now..so i dunno whether my parcel from overseas already arrive or not.so if it should arrive yesterday,what will the postman do with the parcel?

Thanks!

i want to ask if i want to send something to sarawak via pos laju, and the item weight is 2.21kg, how much they charge?

and one more think, will i be charge if the box is bigger?
