should be the same rate...
RM5.90 for 1st 500gm...
wrap it nicely to ensure the clothes won't be torn in a apart then it should be ok...
hehe...
but i see many people use pos ekspress to send clothes nowadays...

nope...not registered post...
it's actually post for documents in envelope form...
but many seller use it to post small items...
it differs according to price of the envelope...
RM2.50, RM3, RM 4.....

Wow! What a fast response! Thanks!! That would mean that I'd have to buy a special type of envelope from the post office?

Then for poslaju, can i use any ordinary envelope or do i still need to get it from them?

Really confused with post system here.

Yes, there are special Pos Ekspres envelopes available in the post office. Just buy from them.

If you are using Poslaju, you have to prepare all your packaging materials yourself.
If you want the Poslaju sealing plastic from them, then request from them but only post offices with Poslaju centres have this.

I see. Thanks for the info. What is sealing plastic? Can't just use gum and tape??

Well, sure can. Have you received packaging from Gdex or Skynet before? They are using some sort of plastic bag right? That was what I meant. blush.gif

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.

Okay thanks a lot. I'll do that then.

hi all...

i found out that postlaju headquarters can post items with normal weight price if the item not more than 30cm x 30cm x 30cm... no matter the weigh..

but if you were to go to pos office....they will charge you volumetric price for light but big item less than 30cm x 30cm x 30cm....

this is because they were told by pos laju to charge this way...
so pos office will not give according to weight price...

if you still wan to enjoy the weight price, you will need to go to headquarters of pos laju...the "pusat"...
the pos office lady told me so...

and i had tried at several post office, i get volumetric price..but the same item...at headquarters of pos laju is weight price....

hehe....^^

so you all can try...
*
Where is the HQ?? That is so...good for those who live nearby


Does anyone know about posting a letter to Sarawak? Is it like 50c or 80c? Please help!

thanks a lot for the clear explanation!
1 more question, how do I send things wif register post?
I need to have my own envelope, then do wat ?
*
Yup. For registered postage, use your own envelope or box then have it weighed. Then they will give you the stamps and a red sticker that you fill up with details. Then after they stick it on the package, it's done.

yes, u can.
they will leave a slip in ur mailbox, and call the number on it to request them to resent the item.
they will send again, and make sure u have ppl in the house to pick it up.
*
oh didnt know that. that is good to know. should try it instead of always going to the post office to pick up. free anyway right?
