Hey guys... i sent a parcel (Puchong branch) to a customer( in Bandar Utama ) using Poslaju National Courier.

I checked just now... it said tht the item is held by customs.  :sta rs:
What does it mean? Will they open up the box ? How come within Selangor also got Custom Inspection : (
Ok settled....False alarm !!

hi bro & sis,
i'm sending out a t shirt weight around 300gm, may i know what is the best option to me? and what is the cost?
thanks.

Today, I go to Poslaju @ 11:25am to post my stuff. They charged me RM8.55 (delivered from Kch, Sarawak to West M'sia). The stuff only weight @ 0.12kg.
They say it's the new price starting this month.
Old price : RM 7.50
New Price : RM 8.55
Increased by : RM 1.05

Is the price apply to Sarawak only or whole Malaysia?
Thx!

is pos parcel reliable? hmm. usually i use pos laju and they usually reach my place the next day. but due to miscommunication, the seller used pos parcel instead. and it haven't arrive yet. T_T.

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?

i juz bought an ipod nano form lyn forumer few days ago.
The postage for petaling jaya to miri cost me about rm8 something..
:st ars:  damn exp man..

2. If I want to post something such as books, clothes, Graphic Cards, etc to my buyer, do I have to buy a box and put it in, or they do provide boxing service (which means I just have to bring the items to them) ?

There no box provided for pos laju.. If the item not fragile u can ask for pos laju plastic wrap@sampul.(not all pos office got) Better be safe

well it is not to say inaccurate but rather slow in update. Do not rely on the poslaju website tracking as it nvr update and you couldn't trace anything too. Call to helpline and ask!

Usually within klg valley and the pick up time is around 3pm to 5pm. Meaning if u send in your parcel to pos office before this time and your goods able to send out within the same day and arrive the next day to the destination!

If you want to know the status of the goods it is advisable for u to call the helpling only the day after sent out. This is to be fair to both seller and buyer sides withinout creating funny issue.

In between, if we doubt of poslaju service and complaining around lost parcel inaccuracy no update in tracking details etcetcetc... so pay higher and go for DHL : )
