Hi,

Has anyone tried mailing a parcel to the US using PosLaju (Economy Air Parcel) before? I don't have the dimensions for the shipping box yet as I am still searching for a smaller one but the weight of the item plus shipping box should be around 1kg. However, I heard that the dimensions of the shipping box doesn't matter if I'm using the Economy method. Anyways, was wondering of they are reliable cause other options like DHL, FedEx and UPS were just too expensive for me.

Thanks.

got two type of weighing system.
1. normal weight of the item
2. volumetric weight of the item (base on dimension)

pos malaysia will take which rate is higher.
by the way, you can also go for flexipack. like a prepaid system at pos malaysia.

Thanks for the info.


Yeah, I think my friend said PosLaju goes by weight for Economy Shipping, whereas EMS goes by both weight and dimensions.

So to mail a 2 kg item using the Flexipack (Blue Box) method would only cost rm78? Economy Shipping is rm120 if I'm not mistaken.

My main concern is whether PosLaju's service is reliable or not when it comes to shipping to the US.

flexipack is not express shipping like pos laju. flexipack use normal air mail only.
no tracking number for flexipack. you need to add on registered pos label for RM4.70 for the tracking number.

Just noticed that the 2 kg box is not big enough for the item I'm trying to send. I will have to use the normal air parcel method. Thanks for the Flexipack suggestion, though; I might be able to use that next time.
