so basically.. poslaju is just a sticker like registered post? i went to the pos website but gosh.. they dun reli provide alot of info there.. so if i wrap up something thats about 2 feet long, i can ask for poslaju? ish.. all this while i thought poslaju was an envelope but turns out its pos express?

mm.. thx for the explanation.. i went to post some items today.. (first time) and i totally freaked out.. cos got so many different procedure for each.. oh gosh.. i guess its easier with the new Pos Malaysia guide.. =)

you send money through postage? if its normal postage like clothes, items etc then no (if you post through post office/poslaju)

i heard the parcel service at the post office can send items up to 1 metre (they count by weight). or nationwide (im not sure about the name) last time they told my brother tht they only count the weight so the size doesnt matter?

i think if you want to send to sabah/sarawak, better use nationwide. its RM 12 but reaches in a day from selangor. and its not limited by the size they count it all by weight.. its rather expensive but i trust them more than having my parcel wait in the post office and sent in 2 weeks (could be squished by then)

use poslaju.. seriously..

before 1pm is same day delivery..

as long as they are in these areas, should get next day delivery regardless of the time :

but they wont know if its documents or not right? you could just sign it off as documents o.o

sometimes the postman will put into my letter box if its the rm 2.50 envelope since its small enough (lazy postmen). other than tht, they will ring my bell n pass to me. but then 2 weeks ago, my pos express envelope reached a house like 9 doors away.. and the person only told me 4 days later.. *siigh*

nope.. sent it to my neighbour.. my neighbour keep for 4 days registered mail minimum rate is rm 2.50 i think but it takes longer to reach. both require signature. poslaju has insurans & reaches faster

not sure if this helps.. i sent a parcel weighing 3.02 kg to KK & it cost me RM 5.50. but it was by sea which takes 1-2 months to reach. by air would reach within 1 week but it would cost around RM 12-RM 14 for my parcel.

for semenanjung, i believe the first 1kg is RM2.50 and each extra kg is an additional RM 1.

i think parcel max is 1m x 1m x 1m? that's what the lady at the post office told me.. parcel does not require wrapping.. just a box but its better lah.. unless u wanna risk them dumping it cos they thought it was rubbish.

1) Yup.. And also your address under "Sender". Preferably much smaller (And in a corner) than the receiver's address so they wont get mixed up. It's the return address in case your parcel failed to deliver or something. when you go to the post office they will give you a blue form to fill in and stick on the box (they will stick for you).

2) It's around there but sometimes I receive my parcel 2 days later or in 1 week.

very very costly

Item Weight / Volumetric Weight : 5 kg
Sarawak : RM 43.50

And this is before the petrol naik harga and the 23% extra charge I think..
Next time.. Use Google.. Just enter anything like "5 kg poslaju sarawak" and you will be surprised

1. pos express is sepatutnya only for documents.. so... if you really want to send by pos express, buy the envelope from the counter, take it outside/home, put your shirt inside, seal and just drop it in the pos express mail box. dont have to worry about the thickness/height limitations as they dont really care.. but do it at your own risks la
2. yup you only have to pay for the envelope. no extra charges.
3. yes
4. not recommended as they simply sepak the pos express envelopes
5. get insurance (think it's provided).. n stick fragile sticker.. or you can buy those envelopes with bubble wrap for extra protection

For Poslaju & registered mail/parcel mail, it's by weight.
Postage rates :
http://www.pos.com.my/V1/main2.asp?c=/v1/P...PostageMain.htm

However, if your poslaju parcel is bigger than 30 cm, they will count by Volumetric weight (or the parcel weight if it is heavier).

Volumetric Weight = (Width x Height x Thickness) / 6000

For Pos Express, it's a standard price for each envelope or box

I sent my text books before.. Using parcel mail. Bought the box from the post office as well.. It was just RM 2 / RM 2.50 for a thick cardboard box. Doesn't require wrapping. Better use box if it's alot as you wouldnt want the books to tear or anything. I remember it was RM 8.50 for a very big stack of books

Pospak boxes
30 x 20 x 11 cm : RM 2
40 x 25 x 15 cm : RM 3

Can't recall the other size >.<
