i almost fall into the same trap too...
my brother help me post a small teddy bear to IPOH today at Sg wang post office...
the lady charge by volumetric..said that cotton stuff usually charge like that...
my brother call me before he pay....
RM28....
wow...
i used to pay RM5.20...
and now RM28?
i took the bear back to KL Sentral Pos Laju...
they only charge me RM5.90...
it's only 0.18kg....
why they simply charge?
i thought only big and long item they charge volumetric?
ya lor
i think they dont have a standard guideline for this
different branches will have different way of determining how to charge the item
my parcel is inside a shoe box only not VERY big
however volumetric sxxks

haha
