hey guys, here to share my experiences dealing with Poslaju so far.
If I'm late to post before the cut off time, I will go to PO at Bangsar. I remembered once it's already 8pm, and the van is outside waiting to collect all the parcels. Finally, I managed to post it out, and status even already updated at night later. hmm..I wonder it's really efficient and friendly staff at there too! But if the van already came before I reached there, they will tell me that it's over the cut off time, and my parcels will only process tomorrow.
And 1-2 months ago, I registered my company for an account. I'm not able to reach any Main Post Office to sign up or fill out those documents. So a very friendly officer from the HQ, emailed and helped me step by step all the while, sent me those documents via Poslaju. My company Borang 9, 24, 49 (can't remember), I/C, Company Registration Certificate are needed in the procedure. I post back to him via Poslaju, and he helped to register and done!
Few days later, I received a lot of PL1A forms (which we used to fill out the shipping details on), company name and address already printed on all of those forms. Also those forms that needed during courier pickup, plastic flyers with different sizes.
But I didn't asked to pay any deposit or something...hmm?? They also never provide the T&C sheets to open an account. @@
Then I started to call and request for courier pick up whenever I have parcels to post out.
But one thing that I found it's really inconvenient to me is, when pick up, the Postman just paste the PL1A form on parcel, and sign, and he left. That's it. I can't even know how heavy is my parcel, and how much postage does it costed. The invoice will only send to my house every month. But I need to know it so that I can collect the correct amount of shipping fee from clients...>,<
Once I asked the Postman, is it possible that I can know the shipping fee and weight. He said they memang don't help on weighing, if I want to know how heavy it is, then I have to weigh it myself at home. @@
But if your parcel is slightly bigger, then postman will help to weigh as there's a scale inside the van actually @@.
So I don't think there's weight or shipping cost written on the PL1A form when received by the recipient since the form will be sealed on the parcel on the spot during pickup... *headache*
One question here is, i know every pickup is free if we have an account. But is the shipping rate still the same? Will it be cheaper for those who have an account?
Thanks!
