Post Laju vs Pos Express

Well, i don't get it. Why do Pos Malaysia wants to named them differently. Isn't laju the same meaning as express? Anyway from the research i have found, both has the same speed but abit different ways of sending the item.

Pos Express is for documents and its cheaper then Pos Laju with a weight limit of 500gram.
Pos Laju is expensive and the heavier it is the more expensive it get.
However, Pos Express just leaves your mail in your mailbox. It is kinda unsafe if you are sending something important. Pos Laju need a signature of the recipient or anyone who can representing him/her. If fail to deliver (in case you are not at home), you need to make an appointment for 2nd delivery or to visit the HQ to collect manually.

Both of them guaranty to reach in 1 day delivery.

Anyway, I purchased some items online and I uses both service to see the different.

Pos Express

Postage send on the 13th March and i got the package on the 18th March. OMG... Well it sure is fast lol. I paid RM 5 for it. OMG i was walking to General Office everyday to check the freaking pos

Pos Laju

Postage send on the 19th March and i got it on thr 20th March. And I paid RM 6 for it. With additional 1 ringgit. It come faster then the express.

Of coz both have this so call ONLINE tracking thinggy. Expess show me no package for a week. I called up Pos Office and they told me they never recieve my package.
Pos Laju show me on the same day that they got my pakage already and by 8am, it reaches Nilai Pos office and 8.45am it attemp to send to me already.

So for all folks out there trying to purchase stuff. Please request for Pos Laju, as it is much more worth the single cent you are paying for. Besides, I don't want to visit General Office everyday to check it lol. Kinda tired of walking since INTI is so damn big.


EDITED 23/10/2011

Well for those who are asking whats the different since both promises the same 1 day delivery to certain area.
1) Pos Express do not require signature when delivered where else Pos Laju required it. If not one at home, you need to reschedule or collect it yourself

2) Express is more on to documents while Laju offers both docs and parcel

3) :P if you didn't notice one Express is in English and Laju is in Bahasa (Joke)

4) Express does not calculate by weight but by the size of the envelope u buy.
However Laju calculate by volume or weight

PS. register post is cheap and rubbish. will take a decade before it reaches you. HIGHLY not recommended

Recommendation:
Use express for docs or if you plan to get cheap stuffs.
Use Laju for pricey and guaranteed delivery. may add insurance for safety reasons

April Fools

CADIE, or Cognitive Autoheuristic Distributed-Intelligence Entity, is part of Google's 2009 April Fool's Day pranks. CADIE is a newly created artificial intelligence with the personality of a teenager.

By analyzing trends in social networks, for example, she created a blog and YouTube channel to show her love of pandas. She determined this love and the look of her blog by analyzing user trends.

Google claimed that CADIE was now a regular Google employee and already working on a 20% project.

There's also a special version of Chrome with 3D. Every time you press the 3D button, it gives the graphics on the page a red/blue shadow. Google also provided a PDF of 3D glasses you can print out for "viewing" the 3D effect.

:) if you all didn't know, Google loves April's Fool. They always come out with interesting hoax and of come some of them became real. Gmail is one of them. Read more at Wikepedia Google Hoax.

On 2007 April fools day, it introduced Gmail paper where users can send free emails in paper carried by Google staff and a Toilet internet service provider (TISP) that provides a free Internet connection through the users toilet using the flush.

The best of the previous editions were Google MentalPlex which could actually read what you find and do the searches and the Google Romance.
