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

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.

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

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

OT: MMU is off on that day.

That is not any insurance, it is just fuel surcharge (Caj bahan api).
I've answered in the Q&A Poslaju Service thread.

Registered post.
That also means Pos Berdaftar.

I don't know, some said few days.
But from my personal experience, I encountered before from KL to Malacca, it took around 10 days to reach me.
That would be my first and last experience with Registered post...

Okay... My experience...
What screen protector is that? Need to buy from Sarawak?

No insurance.... I think paste RM 0.30 stamp also faster than that.

Oic. I'm not sure of the insurance part, you better ask the post office.
I think no...

The tracking system can't be relied. So, my suggestion is to call the posline 1300-300-300, they can give you immediate result.

Only within office hours... Why did you call them at this time?
Call tomorrow...

Yes, the senders need to declare the items they are sending.
Recipients will only write down the name, IC when receiving the parcels.

If you are lucky, the next day you will get it. I received before. Else 2-3 working days.

Yes, they open this Saturday, only close for first Saturday of the month.

Did you mean for Poslaju? Well, to be honest it depends on your luck. Some officers are really kind to accept your parcel as a "document" and it will be cheaper, else if you are having bad luck, they will count using volumetric system which length, wide and height will be counted as well.

OK, for example. Your parcel is 5 KGs and L=70cm, W= 20cm, H=30cm. If using the volumetric system, it goes like this:

70x20x30
------------
6000 (fixed value)

= 7KGs

And, 7 KG will be counted not 5KGs.

The price for first 0.5KG to be posted within Peninsular Malaysia is RM 4.50, the GTS tax is 5% which is RM 0.25 and fuel surcharge is 10% and it is RM 0.45. Total is RM 5.20
For Peninsular to Sarawak is RM 6.50, after 5% GTS and 10% fuel surcharge, it will cost RM 7.50.
For Peninsular to Sarawak is RM 7.00, after 5% GTS and 10% fuel surcharge, it will cost RM 8.05.

Hope this helps. Anyhow, you can refer to here for the rate.

You are unlucky then. As I mentioned earlier, some will close one eye and assume yours as "document".
Anyhow cheapest rate is not RM 4.50, that is before taxes but after calculated everything, it is RM 5.20. Refer to my post up there.

My parcel was shorter than that, approximated 6cm and was calculated using volumetric formula.

Sorry for the late reply. Public holidays have no postage service that includes Labour Day.
And this Saturday is the first Saturday for the month, so they won't be any service on that day. They only off for first Saturday.

It depends on the weight and if you are using box, they will count based on volumetric formula.
Anyhow, I have posted this information here, hope it clears your doubt.

Both also can but I think Poslaju is more reliable compared to Pos Ekspres though I have no problem with them yet so far.

By the way, these are the differences between Pos Ekspres and Poslaju:

1)-Pos Ekspres has ready made envelopes and boxes which the buyers must use them and the prices are same for the whole Malaysia, regardless Peninsular Malaysia or Sabah and Sarawak. The prices starts from RM 2.50, RM 3.00, RM 4.00.... You may check them out at your nearest post offices as the actual items are always displayed there with prices.
-Poslaju doesn't have ready made envelopes or boxes. So, you need to prepare yourselves with that. And price varies for West Malaysia and East Malaysia. For the first 500gm, within West Malaysia is RM 5.20 whereas from Peninsular Malaysia to Sarawak is RM 7.50 and to Sabah is RM 8.05.

2)-Pos Ekspres doesn't require signatures, so if nobody is around when the postman comes, he'll just leave your stuff in your mailbox. The difference between Pos Ekspress and normal post is Pos Ekspress-"Dijamin Sampai Esok."
-Poslaju requires signature from the recipients, so if nobody is around, the messenger will bring back the package and leave a notification card to you and required you to collect at the mentioned post office, else you can try to call them and they'll send again to you.

Thus, it's advisable to use Poslaju if the package is important and fragile. If your items are fragile, it's very hard to fit into the ready made envelopes and might break your items.

Hopefully, my explanation can help those are in doubt of the differences between Poslaju and Pos Ekspres.

Thanks.

They will leave a red card to notify that you have missed it, they will state which post office you will need to go to collect it. So, just follow as what the red card stated.
On another hand, you can call and ask them to re-send for you again. Some of them will do it for you, while some would not.

So, did you get the notification card already?
