How does Flickpost work?

Flickpost allows you to get a quote for delivery rates to any country worldwide and book your shipment online. All bookings placed will include a FREE pickup service from anywhere within Peninsular Malaysia. The tracking number will be generated as soon as payment is complete. 

For pickups:
Kindly print out ONE (1) copy of the shipping label from your dashboard and attach it to your parcel. Bookings received before the daily cut-off time of 12 pm will be collected on the same day. On the other hand, bookings received after the cut-off time will be collected the next business day. Pickups are generally conducted between 2-6 pm, Monday to Friday. 

How do I book a shipment?

Easy! Check out our step-by-step instructions here.

Can I cancel my order?

Yes, we allow cancellations if the status of your booking is still under ‘Request Received’.

If you have changed your mind for any reason, just click the ‘Cancel’ button and the payment will automatically be refunded into your Flickpost wallet. The credits can be used towards your next shipment.

However, if your booking status has changed from ‘Request Received’ to any other status, no cancellation is allowed because this means that your shipment has already been processed.

Must I place a booking online? Can I book a shipment over the telephone?

All bookings have to be done online.

Do I need an account to place a booking?

Yes, registration is simple, and takes no time at all. The best part is, it’s absolutely FREE!

You will need to verify your account via a 6 digit OTP sent via SMS. 

How can I contact you?

Feel free to drop us a line at our Contact Us page, or email us directly at hello@flickpost.co

You can also call us at 1800-817-278 between 9am to 6pm MYT or send us a text via WhatsApp

Do I have to pack my own parcel?

Yes, please pack your items accordingly to prevent any unwanted damages.

 

Do I have to print out anything after placing my booking?

Yes, please print out ONE (1) copy of the shipping label from your dashboard and attach it to your parcel before pickup.

 

How do I ascertain the weight of my parcel?

The weight declared should be the greater of the actual weight or volumetric weight (whichever amount that is higher between the two).

Actual weight is the exact weight in kilograms (kg). 

Volumetric weight (VM), or dimensional weight reflects the density of a parcel. 

In general, the denser the item, the less space it occupies (i.e. less volume), and vice versa.

VM can be calculated using the formula below: 
(Length x Width x Height) CM / 5000

For your convenience, you can also use our volumetric calculator.

Payment

What payment methods do you accept?

For clients located overseas, we also accept Telegraphic Transfer. 

We will top up your Flickpost Wallet within 24 hours upon fund clearance.  

Do you accept payment in other currencies?

Yes, we currently accept USD and MYR. 

You can decide which currency you prefer and update the settings accordingly from your dashboard. 

If you are based overseas and ship regularly, we recommend topping-up your Flickpost account periodically to prevent daily exchange rate fluctuations. 

Pickup

What time will you pick up my parcel?

Standard pickup hours are between 2 pm – 6 pm daily (excluding weekends and public holidays).

Our daily cut-off time is 12 pm. If you placed a booking before noon, your parcel will be picked up on the same day. And if the booking was placed after noon, the pickup will be done the next business day.  

Is it possible to specify a pickup time?

Unfortunately it is not possible to specify a pickup time at present.

If you’re unavailable, feel free to give the rider/driver a call to work out an alternate time that is convenient for you. 

How long does it take for my parcel to arrive at its destination?

This will depend on the service type and to which country it is heading to, subject to cargo and flight space availability. 

As a general rule of thumb,

Economy Plus: 15 to 20 business days upon departure

Standard: 8 to 15 business days upon departure

Priority: 3 to 4 business days upon departure

I accidentally entered the incorrect information and need to amend my shipment details.

There are two options:
(1) You can either cancel the shipment containing the incorrect information and re-book; OR

(2) Send us the correct information and we’ll be more than happy to edit it for you

Should you encounter any issues, please contact us as soon as possible for assistance.

What happens if my parcel is heavier than declared?

Should your parcel turns out to be heavier or larger than declared (as validated by our processing team), your parcel will be temporarily placed on hold until a top-up payment for the additional charges are made.

What is the maximum parcel weight and dimensions allowed for pickups?

The maximum weight for each parcel must not exceed 30kg. The total dimensions (length+width+height) of your parcel should not exceed 300cm. 

You can send as many parcels as you wish.

I am an e-commerce seller from overseas. Can you store my goods and fulfill orders on my behalf?

Yes! Your goods will be stored at a bonded warehouse in the Digital Free Trade Zone (DFTZ). Depending on your requirements, we can customize a solution tailored to your needs.

In general, we provide customs clearance, warehousing, pick and pack, parcel insurance, as well as shipping to your clients (including last mile delivery). 

Parcel Insurance

How do I file an insurance claim?

Click here for further information regarding parcel insurance. Feel free to contact us should you require any further assistance.

Under what circumstances can I claim insurance?

Insurance covers both missing and damaged parcels. 

What documents do I need to provide when filing a claim?

You will need to provide any/or a combination of the following (if applicable):

  • Copy of the original invoice (or receipt to verify your item’s actual value);
  • Written communication from the recipient;
  • Photographs demonstrating proof of damage (if this is a damage claim);
  • Any additional documentation to substantiate your claim

Please email all supporting documentation to hello@flickpost.co

How long must I wait before filing an insurance claim?

For damaged goods, you may file a claim immediately upon goods arrival. 

On the other hand, non-delivery claims can only be filed within 55 days from the booking date. This is to allow sufficient time for postal investigations to be completed. 

When is the last day that I can file my claim?

You will need to file a claim within 90 days from the shipment booking date for the policy to be honored. Due to the dynamic nature of the ongoing COVID-19 situation, we have since granted a 30-day extension. In other words, you have 120-days to file a claim for packages shipped internationally on or after March 2020 until further notice. Claims request received after the 120-day claims period would be denied.

 

How much does parcel insurance cost?

The insurance premium will be 2% of the insured value. For example, if you would like to insure your item for RM 1000, then the insurance would be RM 20.

How long does it take for my insurance claim to be processed?

Please allow 3-5 weeks upon receipt of all required documents (e.g.: commercial invoice, buyer affidavit etc.). If you are filing a claim for damaged goods, please hold onto your items until your claim has been finalized. Normal processing times may be affected if all the required information is not provided at the time of filing.

Payment will be disbursed within 3-4 business days from the approval date.

Can I file a claim for damaged packaging?

No, you can only file for loss of damage of the item inside the packaging or box. The packaging is expected to protect the item from damage and it is assumed that there will be wear/damage to the packaging which can occur during normal transit.

What is the maximum amount that I can claim for my parcel?

Economy and Standard shipping: RM 1,500
Priority: RM 20,000
Pro: RM 2,000

Referral Program

How does your referral program work? How can I earn referral credits?

Each registered Flickpost user is automatically assigned a unique referral link upon sign-up.

All you have to do is share your link with friends – this can be done through email, Facebook, WhatsApp and Messenger. 

Your friend gets RM 10 immediately when they sign up using your link. And in return, you are rewarded RM 10 instantly when your friend books their first shipment! 

Is there a limit to how much referral credits I can earn?

Nope, there are no limits to the amount of referral credits that you can earn.

In other words, your credits are accumulative. 

For example, you have successfully referred 10 friends and earned RM 10 per friend, that means you would have RM 100 in your Flickpost wallet. 

Where can I find my unique referral link?

Login to your dashboard > “Refer & Earn”

What is the best way to share?

Social media is awesome – Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc. wherever you socialize really. Direct messages through WhatsApp are great too, since you are literally texting someone who know whom you think might be interested. You are giving someone a gift, so why not. 

Dangerous Goods & Prohibited Items

What items am I not allowed to ship?

Click here for the Dangerous Goods list.

Click here for the Prohibited Items list.

Rule of thumb
Economy and Standard shipping:
No liquids and batteries unless it’s a minimal quantity, e.g.: 50ml and below, of which you agree to ship at your own risk.

Priority shipping:
Liquids and batteries can be shipped. MSDS may be required.

What happens if I shipped a dangerous good or prohibited item?

If your parcel contains a dangerous good or prohibited item, and that item happens to be picked up by our scanners, we will segregate that particular parcel and your shipment will not be processed any further. We will attempt to contact the sender and if you would like the item returned, there will be a return shipping fee imposed. Any shipping fees paid up to this point are also non-refundable.
