Netizens also highlighted problems they experience with Pos Malaysia’s customer service channels taking too long to respond to enquiries.
@pos4you I’ve been trying to get in contact with Pos Malaysia International Hub customer service for past 3 weeks but the phone lines are always busy with “high call rate”. It’s impossible to get any feedback on my detained item. Please advise

Coming soon…
In response to ongoing critique, Pos Malaysia says that they’re doing their best to ensure that deliveries across the country arrive as soon as possible.
Speaking to TRP, a company spokesperson explained that MCO restrictions and temporary closure of several of its facilities had effectively disrupted Pos Malaysia’s ability to deliver, and they are doing everything to keep up with demand.
Pos Malaysia has mitigation plans and alternative measures in place to ensure continuity of operations and to address any delivery challenges related to Covid-19, especially to and from East Malaysia.

Online shopping craze
According to Pos Malaysia the company experienced a 35% surge in the number of packages it handles since the start of the MCO.
Its spokesperson said that on average, the company processes around 487,000 parcels a day – topping at around 800,000 packages on peak days.
Despite this impact, we have increased our capacity to ensure the continuity of processing and deliveries of items, including sourcing for additional manpower to ramp up our operations to manage the high demand, especially for the recently concluded 11.11 sale and deliveries.

Doing their best
Addressing consumer complaints and questions, Pos Malaysia asks that Malaysians reach out for assistance directly with the company’s AskPos chatbot and to utilize its “enhanced website” and mobile app.
Customers are also advised to go through Pos Malaysia’s social media postings and webpage for any notices on delays in deliveries.
We assure our customers that we are doing our best to ensure courier items are delivered to their doorstep as soon as possible or in certain areas, as soon as the situation permits.
