TS,
Since you mentioned Money is no object, why do you even consider shipping a Handphone via Poslaju ? And yes I AGREE wholeheartedly with both jiaxun and 5w33 that you SHOULD NOT consider shipping Handphone via Poslaju UNLESS you are willing to take the risk.

Ive shipped handphones before.
Lots of them. Not one lost. Lucky me!

In fact to date ive shipped 21 phones in total of various models. Im not a handphone
seller, im just someone who changes phones sometimes

Ironically I only use Poslaju to do this. Now note:
At all Poslaju express counters you will see the items that is prohibited from being shipped.
Dangerous goods ie flammable material or radioactive waste for instance.
Nevertheless you will notice those are not expressedly clear notices.
What is crystal clear is the prohibition for Handphones
Thats a big no no.

But I take the risk anyway. Risk however is totally on me on not my buyers.
My phones will be double packed in a box with so much Thick Cellophane tape that anyone planning to steal the phone might as well rip the whole package.
Phone batteries are removed from the phone just to be safe and wrapped separately.

Finally in the item description, i put Kids Toys or Books.
Item worth though Ill put it higher than whats its worth but not above RM800 even if there is RM1600 item inside.
That'll help with the shipping. Never explain whats really inside.
If you put item worth to be too high too then Ill be interested to know what books costs RM1600.
Postal workers are mostly reliable but you cant be too careful.

Personally for you I dont recommend Poslaju shipping, risk is totally on you and since money is no object, dont trouble yourself to go look for Poslaju offices that open till 10pm, use Fedex, DHL or any of the courier services that come right up to your doorstep to pick the item up to give them right at your recepients doorstep. Safe, Fast and again most importantly SAFE.

Hope that helps

is GDex expensive compare to dhl or ups or skynet?

GDex rate is comparable to skynet. Definitely cheaper than DHL, Fedex and UPS.
UPS from my experience is the highest while DHL and Fedex ranks the same.
Nevertheless you actually get what you pay for, DHL and Fedex has SUPERBLY EXCELLENT service from the moment they pick the item up, tracking it, calling customer service, how nice they are to you and till the item reach your destination.
Didnt try UPS which was more expensive though, their rates totally put me off.
Local shipping though i still chose Poslaju.
Postal folks knows the route better than our local Courier service, ive had 7 instances where my receipient needed to go and get the item from the office themselves and not because they were not home at the time, its simply because the local courier service couldnt find their house la, wrong route la, no staff la..adoi, Malaysia..apa pun boleh.
