So there will no longer be a 250g parcel price. Small padded envelopes etc (if they don't fit through the large letter slot) will have to go as a 500g parcel.

I love Malaysia Post. Cheap, Fast and Very Reliable.

Recently a Korean buyer told me Korean Post is the best in the world. I have to agree. I posted a coin by registered mail on Saturday afternoon to Seoul. He received the coin on the following Wednesday morning.

Postage cost is < $A3.

Faster than EMS at < 1% of what EMS charge.

For comparison,

EMS from USA to Malaysia - USD 38.00
EMS from Australia to Malaysia - AUD 50.00

Registered mail from USA to Malaysia - USD 16.50
Registered mail from Australia to Malaysia - AUD 25.00

Hahaha.
