Send a parcel to Malaysia

Malaysia has strong connections with other Asian nations. The majority of Malaysia's trade group memberships are in Asian-specific organisations, providing favouritism to other Asian trading partners. Still, British partners are given fair treatment. If differences and problems do arise when shipping to Malaysia, it is also good to know that the country belongs to the World Trade Organisation, which is available to settle issues between member nations.

Manufacturing is still an important part of the economy, with strong production of petroleum products, rubber, palm oil and tin. Malaysia also has a strong financial sector and relies heavily on the tourism trade.

DPD Shipping to Malaysia

When you get a price to ship a package to Malaysia, you will notice DPD offer some of the best prices for the best services. You can choose to use the express services for delivery in 3-4 days or the classic service for a cheaper price which takes 4-6 days. Not only this, you can choose to have your parcel collected or you can drop off at any local DPD Pickup shop. 

Our other express shipping services include DHL and you can also use our own brand Parcel Monkey hybrid service, Air Express which is often half the price of DHL especially for heavier packages. 

Postage to Malaysia 

If you are looking to post a parcel to Malaysia then you TrakPak, a tracked mail service is perfect. Your parcel will still be collected by a courier before being sorted and shipped by TrakPak and delivered by the Malaysian Post Office. The service is a little slower than an express courier but is ideal for heavier parcels or items that are not urgent. 

If you like to use the Post Office in the UK, you can book discounted delivery with Parcelforce using the Parcel Monkey quote engine too, print off the shipping label and Customs Documents and then drop off at the Post Office or Parcelforce Depot. You can also have the parcel collected by Parcelforce from your home or work address.

Malaysia publishes a website that is administered by the Royal Malaysian Customs Department. While the main language of business in Malaysia is English, the site is not available in an English version. In order to glean information from this resource, it is necessary to translate the website. A translated version of the Malaysian site can be found here.
