1. Is it me or they don't have standard shipping anymore? Only EXPEDITED & PRIORITY?
Correct - I think there was too much cheating and missing parcels. AFAIK Expedited is only $5 more expensive than Standard, so it shouldn't matter. And it is much faster - parcels now arrive within 2 weeks.
2. So if STANDARD they send by Pos Malaysia like normal mail? What about EXPEDITED & PRIORITY?
Expedited also use Pos Malaysia if I remember correctly, only exception is it has full tracking of the parcel.
3. Which one should I choose if I want "pos laju" type deliveries where signature is required instead of throwing into mail box?
Choose Priority - they will partner with UPS or DHL if I remember correctly.
During the pandemic and even now, when i chose "Priority" they didn't use DHL anymore - sometimes they sent using UPS. Correct - I think there was too much cheating and missing parcels.

If it wasn't UPS they will use ECMS Express or SF Express. Difference is that the last mile delivery will be handed off to independent couriers like FMX (for ECMS) or Ninja Van (for SF).
Choosing "Expedited" will give you ECMS or SF (haven't had PosLaju so far) - which so far hasn't been a problem - even stuff packed in soft envelopes arrived safely. During MCO in my condo, they will leave a message (on whatsapp) that they have left the parcel in our lobby cabinet.
Stopped using "Priority" and switched to "Expedited" to save some money.
