I have notice some INDIVIDUAL or EVEN SELLER who dunno how to safely sent out their item using postage, how to wrap up their item or how to do it. so hereby i attach some guide steps by steps to help them with photo.

First of all, you need some tools.... mine a bit profesionnal lar... you can dont buy those stuff
below is my equipment.


EXAMPLE;
Lets say you wanted to post out a bluetooth handsfree worth about rm180...


you can see here in between it have a large gap...


this is how i do it... use a unused cardboard to cover up the hole in between them like the pics above


paste it nicely to cover up like the pics above


wrap it up with newspaper to prevent the sender(posmen or courier serviceman) to see the content inside


i personally use mahjong paper to wrap it


wrap it up like above and it already look very nicely.


you can already write the buyer/receiver address on it.


you can seal the parcel with the celotape already


Finally, fill in the poslaju form and its ready to sent out.

Below is for wrapping up some combine item


Step 1 - use a box and put some newspaper on it, the put the item inside


Step 2 - put another layer of paper on it


Step 3 - close the box and celotape it to be fitted


Step 4 - seal the box with celotape.. chicaman please take note here (this is how to wrap)


Step 5 - its done.
I would love to see that this thread is pinned for ALL LYN MEMBERS as a guide.

Very useful bro, u really put in a lot of effort to wrap ur item nicely before sending it out. Even use mahjong paper to wrap it. Btw, its a simple and efficient guide. Safely ship out the item.

thumbs up for the effort.

You are professional. I used to wrap nicely the item before postage for hardwares... BUT really salute you for putting this useful thread. DUMMIES for PACKING!

yellow/brown paper more economical than white paper

if several pieces, u have to stick it with cello tape to prevent it from moving around and damaging the packaging itself

ya, i know. but i prefer white color as its more easier for posman to see it more clearly so they wont see wrongly the address. btw, the price different is only very minimal. somemore, i buy 1 lot(250pcs). so its more cheaper...

It shows he dont really mind to pay extra for those mahjong paper haha. Giving out superb service is good. Really good to have seller like this in LYN. Better than those shop near my house giving shitty service. Unlike jack7155, if need anything he can special order from supplier despite only earn a few bucks.

Bro, it is good if u show us which part u celotape it.... and how to wrap.

P/S: I am guy, dono how to wrap properly lol

also, write adress on both side of the parcel. anything can happen with pos laju

bro, just seal it completely. wrap up the whole parcel

this is a good idea. if you noted it, i got my company chop on it. its hard for the posmen to imitate it

if use bubble plastic , it will become pretty good

expensive courier like ups provide wrapping as well. last time i rma sumthing from malaysia to singapore...i din wrap it at all since its already damaged. but the delivery guy offered wrap it up with bubble wrap at the office. FOC sumore

oh thanks for the tips. how about badminton racket with bag? any idea how to wrap that?

maybe you should find a long box that can fit the badminton racket with the bag. like the 2nd item that i wrapped up. insert some newspaper into it to prevent it from moving around.

Nice Info For Wrap ,Thx Jack7155

I once sent a NDSL + box to Sarawak using PosLaju... I was so worried about their handling that I used a marker pen and wrote "FRAGILE" on all corners of the box (After wrapped with mahjong paper) and requested for their fragile sticker

Thankfully buyer received it safely

poslaju got fragile sticker?? if got, i want to take from them...

Not all branches have, just like the courier plastics too, not all have them.

thanks for your reply, fruitie. i'll ask my area pos office and if they got, i'll take the pics of it and post here.

I would prefer to use bubblewrap, foams and other soft protective materials like styrofoams..

thanks a lot for ur info！
it really work a lot for me~

i need to know how to wrap a tshirt to send it via poslaju? thanks..

just go to pos laju counter and take from them their plastic bag. then wrap up your shirts with newspaper and put it into the plastic bag. that should works....

need to know where to buy box for parcel ?

Hi stone13

pos malaysia does sell boxes of various sizes.. u can check em out

but i stopped buying em due to budget constraints...

and fashioned my own out of used cardboard boxed

economical n environmental friendly hehe

the most economic is ask from your friends/family/siblings for empty boxes like tissue box,biscuit box,milk powder box (hardcover), or when you buy something at accessories/gift shops,ask them for boxes, perhaps? if soft cover,your product will easily broke le! handle with care!

your guide is really good...^^
just want to ask, can i send a t-shirt via Pos Express?
if can which parcel should i use?
do i need to wrap it before put it into the parcel?
i'm kinda new with this stuff, so i hope someone can help me with it
thanx

IINM Pos Expres is supposed to be for documents only

but most dont really care as long as the envelope can be closed its accepted lol (actually i received a 3 cm thick RM 2.50 post express envelope)

---

Added on November 13, 2008, 3:00 pmuse the RM 4 one.. there are bigger pos express boxes but they cost RM 6 & RM 7 (might as well use pos laju edi)
best if u wrap in a plastic bag first before putting into the envelope in case it gets wet. if you find that the envelope is too thick and you cant close it properly, better tape it close.

also, if u send things (non documents) regularly using pos express, you could just purchase a few envelopes to take home cos some workers will scold you for sending other stuff using pos express.

Good guide.

hmmmm nice guide

But i usually just put alot of bubble wrap then send it out

may i know the parcel postage fee from semenanjung to semenanjung and also semenanjung to sabah/sarawak?

if a post a parcel the size is 1.6m height and the heavy is around 7kg how much? also need to warp up with white paper at outside part?
or i can direct send to post office without the box?

good job

how do i wrap my hard drive?
i wanna send it for rma..

ayo,rma means rosak d ma...then agak agak wrap lo..haha...just joking..
better use bubble wrap,then another layer of cardboard,then newspaper,then only the brown paper.
that will do it.
and that's what i usually do!!

Yeah. This guide did help me. Should have it pinned. I usually wrap stuff with bubble wrap also. Except if its clothing. Then just plastic bag.

www.pos.com.my

good guide for newbies ~

even if use pos express,i sugget u staple the seal + cellotape it...
that's what i do..super diff to open it...hehe..

niceeee. very useful. thank you.

u may get it in any stationery shops

Added on January 14, 2009, 1:17 pmif u keep the hard drive box.. simple..

1st, try to insert in some wasted paper into the box to prevent any vibration during the shipment which cause direct damage to the drive.

2nd, use newpapers to wrap the outter of the box (advise to wrap at least 2-3 layers)

Then u can jst put into the poslaju plastic bag and seal it nicely.. here u go

PS: advised to insured for gadget... but so far i didn't occur any damages due to poslaju... jst the method how u wrap.. the tutorial of wrapping is very useful bro...

kudos bro for this thread!

any idea how to packing kuih raya? send to sabah

hi all, can someone let me know how to wrap an item if the item is very small? cos I've been dealing few times all got big boxes but this one is vrey small only
Estimated measurement of my item :
Height - 4cm
Length - 6cm
Depth - 1cm

the poslaju form so big ah.. how to stick to the small parcel? or.. i put into a bigger box and wrap up is it?

never sell this small box item before..

If that small can just put it in an envelope than can paste the poslaju slip.

thx, i need to bubblewrap bit before put inside the envelope
oh btw, one tip from me.. for those boxes packages, once you have wrapped your stuff, if you have a printer, print out the recipient address on a piece of paper with big font size ie. name, address, contact so postman can really really see clearly, cos written handwriting may be poor for some (my handwriting ok de, just lazy write ), save time but cost bit more only too

front paste your form, and back got the clearly typed/printed recipient address

that is what i do lah

This post has been edited by Shoot@M3: Aug 24 2009, 01:41 AM

just take a plastic bag from poslaju and put your item inside the plastic bag. write the address on the plastic bag and paste the form behind. thats what i do

can get the plastic bag from poslaju?i tot it is for those got account only can get

you need to go to the counter and ask. sometimes they'll give you

not all pos office u can get the plastic bag(they call it flyer)..
only certain poslaju center has it..limited oso..

ya i went to a few post office to ask they also say they dun have the plastic bags.. ask me to wrap myself....

thanks bro,it helps!
