Postage question

[collie2011]

I've noticed that if you order from FT and order batteries, your only postal option is Malaysia post. Is Malaysia post any better/faster etc than China post?

Just wondering if it is, is it worth always sticking a battery or two in with your order

A lot of carriers are now refusing to transport batteries, I think Malaysia is one of the few that still do

but beware, they may not end up at the correct destination

My last 6 orders from ft have been 2 with each- China Post, Singapore Post, and Malaysia Post. Singapore Post beat Malaysia Post to me by a day on the first occasion, then the opposite with Malaysia Post beating them by 2 days. China Post has always come 2nd or 3rd, but only by a day.
I think the speed relies on clearing customs at there end, random would be the best description. I've stopped counting the days. I always split my orders up so if their is a delay only part of my stuff is held up.

I got liquids via Malasia post, 3 50ml bottles and they got through fine in 14 days total. I have batteries coming from FT within a week which are coming Malaysia post. I`ll post when they arrive

I had 2 orders from FT - Shipped by Singapore Mail.

On the Singapore website, says 'Despatched to GB' on 6th Match. arrived at Heathrow UK 27th March.

Doesnt take 3 weeks to fly from Singapore, probably stuck at customs in Singapore.

Be interesting how long my batteries come from Malaysia.

Im finding malaysia post quicker than singapore.

Just noticed that for $1.00 you can choose Swiss post, only if you don't have batteries. The estimated arrival is only 2 days less but I might give them a go just to see if they are any faster. I think it will have to wait until I'm doing a split order and do one through Malaysia and one through Swiss then we can let the race begin haha

Singapore post is taking a month, malaysia took just about 2 weeks.
