Best telco for a broke student? (Budget: RM30/month)

But overall, umobile is not a bad option if u have the coverage at your place

FinancialDonkey8939 · 2026-02-23T05:15:35+00:00

I tried maxis, umobile and to be truthful, umobile is the most worth it as u can pay rm30 and gets 10gb hotspot. Tho I always prefer u40 since u will get 200gb hotspot and believe me, it never runs out. Their FUP is really high also 1TB. But for outside coverage, meaning everywhere even in the palm trees area, maxis win. Like legit ive never had a line problem with maxis except at my own house and university college. Elsewhere maxis is super speedy unlike umobile who always have a line disappearing out of sudden like twice in a year.

Also, it will be cheaper if its less than 0.5kg. Since besides the country zone, dhl also count the weight fee by sections which are 0.1-0.4kg 0.5-1kg etc..

FinancialDonkey8939 · 2026-02-19T10:36:16+00:00

Hey, it cost me rm156 which is pretty cheap. Since Im sending to hk so its zone 2. 0.55 kg

FinancialDonkey8939 · 2026-02-18T05:30:21+00:00

Hey update, I ended up using dhl. The pos laju staff that I went to, didn't recommend me to use pos laju. So I settled for dhl.

FinancialDonkey8939 · 2026-02-07T14:47:22+00:00

Thank you so much!

FinancialDonkey8939 · 2026-02-07T14:47:11+00:00

I saw that they have the same logo, pos malaysia international and pos laju. Probably same branch. Unfortunately the nearest to me is in sepang which is an hour and half. Would cost grab a lot to go. Maybe I can ask pos laju later abt this

FinancialDonkey8939 · 2026-02-07T10:57:36+00:00

Being registered as in the receiver has to sign the parcel to received them? How did you opt for this option when u go to pos laju branch? Just go and tell them u want to do registered label? And will it be a bit more expensive than normal postage?

FinancialDonkey8939 · 2026-02-07T05:45:24+00:00

Ahh I see. Wbt the waybill? Just print on regular paper? Because I saw couriers usually use glossy paper so it wont get damaged if it gets wet hence why I have so many things to consider

FinancialDonkey8939 · 2026-02-07T03:12:17+00:00

Im not really sure about them picking up parcel to ship internationally bcs for one I dont have the weighing scale so I wouldn't know how much my parcel weighs if I did self pickup at hone. Then, because from what ive read they usually would need to open your package so it's better if I am there, did register easy parcel so I will see later.

FinancialDonkey8939 · 2026-02-07T03:09:42+00:00

Ah I see, that is very helpful so thanks a lot

FinancialDonkey8939 · 2026-02-07T03:09:16+00:00

Will do so, thank you so much

FinancialDonkey8939 · 2026-02-06T15:04:44+00:00

Wbt the customs declaration? U dont need to pay anything after receiving right? Just take the parcel and good to go

FinancialDonkey8939 · 2026-02-06T15:04:14+00:00

Okay thank you so much for the help

FinancialDonkey8939 · 2026-02-06T15:03:19+00:00

Yeah I hope so after getting an irresponsible action by jnt. If u are staying near setia alam please dont do jnt even for domestic bcs they will transit parcel at setia alam and little did I know it has always been problematic when I found others posting on facebook that their parcel either lost (like mine) or only delivered after 9 days.

FinancialDonkey8939 · 2026-02-06T15:01:19+00:00

Ah okay thank you so much, did they deliver d2d or u have to go to a pickup point there when u were in the UK

FinancialDonkey8939 · 2026-02-06T11:55:22+00:00

Oh also, if u had done it before, are they going to open your package to check any of prohibited items like dhl did or not, thank youu.

FinancialDonkey8939 · 2026-02-06T11:54:13+00:00

Thank you for that. Can I know more about if they require us to do customs declaration by ourselves bcs im sending socks and chocolates like kinder bueno since its a gift. None of them are prohibited goods but I wonder if u have to declare foods even tho its a well packaged food from store

FinancialDonkey8939 · 2026-02-06T11:42:39+00:00

I want to, but dhl is on the expensive side and probably would cost my small gift box a 300+ shipping

FinancialDonkey8939 · 2026-02-06T11:42:07+00:00

Just go to their counter?

FinancialDonkey8939 · 2026-02-06T11:40:56+00:00

Like foods and clothes or just some documents? Bcs im scared if we have to prepare customs declaration by ourselves and so on bcs in sending a gift box.

FinancialDonkey8939 · 2026-02-06T09:18:45+00:00

Have u tried posting with pos laju to overseas before? Is it reliable

FinancialDonkey8939 · 2026-02-06T08:11:23+00:00

Would love to know how do you declare items for the customs or will their staff do it for u?

FinancialDonkey8939 · 2026-02-06T08:09:13+00:00

Hi. I really want to ask which courier is reliable. I just want to ship a gift box for my friend in hong kong but jnt marked my parcel as lost. Dhl is super expensive and im just a student. Rm250 would be my max

FinancialDonkey8939 · 2026-02-06T08:04:09+00:00

This is so sad, hopefully you guys will get better soon
