About Shipping Cost

Myth about Self Collection


People always think that self collection is cheaper which most of the time is not true. Let's take a look.

Distance: Assuming you stay in Shah Alam and want to self collect at Mid Valley KL. Distance from Shah Alam to Mid Valley is around 30km per trip. Round trip will be 60km.

Petrol: 60km x RM 0.15/km = RM 9 (round trip)

Toll: RM 1.10 per trip at Batu Tiga Toll. Round trip will be RM 2.20

Parking: RM 1 (weekday), RM 3 (weekend) per 3 hours

Time: No jam around 30 minutes one way. Round trip will be around 60 minutes

Hidden cost: Car maintenance??? Your precious time??? Traffic jam ???

In summary, minimum it will cost you RM 12.20 (weekday) & RM 14.20 (weekend) if you prefer self collection. So, what do you think?
