Dear valued customers,
We would like to inform you that for large orders/purchases made using credit cards, we may perform background checks on the card holders. We reserve the rights to decline shipment if we have enough reason to believe that the identity of the card holder is in question. We may contact our customers to request additional information such as the full name, phone number and permanent address, or any other information necessary to verify the identity of the card holder.
Recently, there had been attempts made by unscrupulous individuals who have been using stolen cards to make purchases through our website. We believe the above precautions are necessary not only for our protection, but also for the protection of our valued customers and as such, we appeal for your kind understanding. If you have any questions, please kindly write in to us and we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you.

Dear valued customers,
We wish to inform you that with immediate effect, all overseas shipments have been standardized to conform to Poslaju’s rates for international shipments. In the past, we have offered subsidized shipping rates, but in reality, these rates were actually based on local delivery rates for shipments within Malaysia. We can no longer afford to offer these rates for overseas shipments without incurring any losses, and as such, we appeal for your kind understanding on this matter.
However, we can still offer you great savings on shipping if you so decide to to order via email. Or you may learn more about our methods of shipping by clicking here.
Any inconvenience caused is very much regretted.
