GD Express always measure by the weight of the shipment lor, call the pick-up hotline, the person will ask, how heavy, then you say blah blah blah, it's RMXX.XX for your shipment, so if you okay with the price, they will send their van to pick up from your place. Sometimes I save a lot by shipping via GD Express but most buyers request Poslaju as GD Express is a bit lazy, they don't issue a tracking number, just take the shipment and deliver the next day, they won't inform you of the tracking, that's for sure unless got problem, you need to call them to get it. doh.gif

So sometimes cheap couriers come at a price for being inefficient in other areas but if you want a perfect courier, it's either DHL or FedEx especially if it is for shipping a very valuable item.

Hahaha...he might b 1 of 'em then laugh.gif

I was told for small items they dont care much but for bigger ones volumetric weight definitely applies.

Anyway that person can say anythin' he like but ultimately the post office whr u send decides. And dont 4get it's official circular & pasted around in post office. So no reason later u go argue yea

For sarawak, there's problem with private courier service... it's fine with Poslaju.

My supplier send different parcel to home address, then it was rejected-reasons: house address is not valid, where they didnt bother to give a call. But they are very fast in sending items to commercial centre or company.

Poslaju is effecient is sending item to home address, but u need to wait..

Yes, mwkh. I do with you too, Poslaju never failed on delivery. just that longest period you have to wait max 3 days smile.gif Be patient, yet usually next day delivery.
