About the POS Malaysia Rate Calculator
Sending parcels within Malaysia requires a clear understanding of postage costs to avoid underpayment or unexpected expenses at the counter. This POS Malaysia Rate Calculator is designed to help e-commerce sellers, small business owners, and individuals estimate the cost of shipping items via Pos Laju domestically.
How Postage Rates are Calculated
POS Malaysia, specifically for their courier arm Pos Laju, calculates domestic shipping rates based on three primary factors:
- Actual Weight vs. Volumetric Weight: The cost is usually based on the actual weight in kilograms. However, for large, lightweight items, volumetric weight calculation may apply.
- Zonal Pricing: Malaysia is divided into zones for logistics. Generally, shipping within Peninsular Malaysia (Semenanjung) is cheaper than shipping across the sea to East Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak).
- Surcharges: The final price often includes a Fuel Surcharge (fluctuating based on oil prices) and a Handling Surcharge, plus the standard Sales and Service Tax (SST).
Understanding the Zones
To get the most accurate estimate, it is crucial to select the correct Origin and Destination:
- Zone 1: Within Peninsular Malaysia (e.g., KL to Penang).
- Zone 2: Peninsular to Sarawak (or vice versa).
- Zone 3: Peninsular to Sabah/Labuan (or vice versa).
- Intra-East Malaysia: Shipping between Sabah and Sarawak usually incurs specific cross-border rates similar to Zone 2 or 3 pricing.
Current Rate Structures (Estimates)
Typically, Pos Laju charges a base rate for the first 0.5kg or 1.0kg, followed by an incremental rate for every subsequent 0.5kg. For example, a parcel sent within Peninsular Malaysia might start at approximately RM 6.00 (base) before surcharges, adding roughly RM 1.50 for every additional half-kilogram.
