yo there,

basically i'm buying a cpu from someone, and i need to use a courier to get it. the seller has had bad experience before using poslaju, and would prefer COD, but we live too far apart. so im looking for any info from the postage veterans, to maximize the cpu reaching me alive.

thanks

DHL .. reliable and good ..

Try out Skynet courier service. The service kinda good, they wrap the item with a layer of plastic for customers.

He might have problem with poslaju before that doesn't mean it will happen again.

Anyway when someone sent an item(example a retail processor) tru Poslaju. Do they need to wrap it beforehand or will poslaju wrap it? I don't think it's a wise idea to have the item sent in the retail package right then everyone would know the content.

another question, the guy says if wanna post, no warranty... what do you think?

Frm wht I heard, it was the opposite. So frm my point of view, avoid it as much possible. Try City-Link , GDEX or SecureXpress


Post offices doesnt provide wrapping services but they do sell brown paper & tali rafia (they gav me free anyway last time) so u can wrap urself there & then. Can pinjam scissors, knife etc

Always wrap whteva u r sending via PosMalaysia w/ brown or white paper. Otherwise u r inviting trouble


Dats up 2 u 2 decide; either he's tryin' 2 take advantage or just too afraid based on his past xprience

city link or gdex , it depends on your area

city link 10kg - rm2x

gdex 10kg - rm2x

pos laju 10kg - rm55

nationwide - if you declare - confirm hilang

skynet - expansive than gdex

kangaroo - no idea

* the rates given above are opinion(from the courrier hq it self) not facts, the only facts above are from pos laju (i sent a few back) and gdex only

ask him for DOA warranty , if not you are screwed

If cash Skynet is the best service and rate

could you clarify what you mean by that? as in couriering cash??

to everyone so far
thanks for your feedback, all advice taken into consideration.

the only confusion now is the fact that some ppl say that some are good, others say the same ones bad, so i'm at a loss at the moment

how bout nationwide express? any good or horror stories so far?
my other alternative is to travel there and pick it up myself.

Pos Laju if you declare...
Confirm hilang too..
The pos laju officer even told me guarentee hilang...
Haha...

erm....try using Gdex.i'm a satisfied customer of Gdex...just state any hardware u post with "Fragile" sign, so they will carefully handle the parcel....

expantyhoesthief...izit true "nationwide - if you declare - confirm hilang" ??

btw... i prefer city link n gdex...

i been using poslaju to send all my item, so far so good.. My most expensive item send via Poslaju is 8800GTX (worth RM2.2K), reach safely to buyer...cool..

nowadays most of the courier service is reliable edi unlike last time, well go to the one which suits ur budget la...dont worry, cpu so big wanna hilang also not easy eh...

I used GDEX just 2 days ago sent before 10 pm to sarawak they received the next day.

Vry true..I was told of the same thing


As I'd mentioned many times previously, their services now really top-notch. My full support


No matter any company, try ur best 2 avoid declaring the content. Tangan gatai ppl exist almost evrywhr


Dats not always the case. I'd say it's more like luck. U wont knw wht kind of ppl handling ur shipments.

And regarding reliability, u r totally wrong. There r many tong sampah ones & others unpredictable. Frm my xperience, trust none completely. And better 4 walk-in customer(s) 2 prepare in advance especially if u r doin' sales. Later customer hantam

im using ABX express.sent items at 5pm arrive before noon at the next day.

well, not sure but, i just post a RM1000 processor to Penang via PosLaju, it arrived safe and secured

i Tink DHL has insurance if ur goods are more than a certain price if u declare ..
