I do always come across people sending stuff to their customers through pos laju, pos daftar and sometimes even EMS. What are EMS actually and are they expensive? Where can i get EMS service?

Help! anyone?

Thanks.

EMS is like poslaju ....

is it expensive? any maximum volume or weight?

usually it have no limit, as long the ems company can send it (that is what my boss said to me). EMS: Expedited Mail Services. correct me if i'm wrong. when other country send EMS to Malaysia it goes under Pos Laju unless u r using courier like DHL bla.. bla.. bla.. and EMS is expensive then other postage service.

Where to get EMS service? My suggestion is PosLaju.

Express Mail Service (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Express_mail)

Express Mail Service (EMS) is an international express postal service offered by postal-administration members of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) which created the EMS Cooperative in 1998 within the framework of the UPU, a specialized agency of the United Nations, to promote the harmonization and development of postal services worldwide. Currently EMS is offered by 146 of the 191 UPU member countries' postal authorities and an integral part of their normal postal services. Seven additional countries have arrangements to deliver EMS items. An independent auditor measures the express delivery performance of all international EMS operators and each member is awarded a Gold, Silver, or Bronze certificate depending on their yearly performance. These countries are recorded in the EMS Cooperative's Hall of Fame.

EMS is like an international postage express network

In certain times

EMS is meant for International

Not for Domestic

That why Pos call it Poslaju.

Poslaju is Domestic Express Service and International EMS. Look at the logo.



If you check the Wiki (link I give before) - Malaysia - EMS - Poslaju.
