Introduction

Let’s be honest, not everything should be sent like a normal parcel. Whether it’s your IC, credit cards, legal paperwork or other confidential documents, some things are just too important to risk. 

A lost or tampered parcel doesn’t just cause delays; it can lead to serious issues like identity theft, data breaches, and non-compliance with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). This is where Special Handling comes in, a delivery solution designed for maximum security, from the moment your parcel is picked up to the moment it’s received.

Think twice before popping that IC or credit card in the mail because regular deliveries just aren't built for confidential items!

Why Standard Delivery Methods Aren’t Enough for High-Security Items.

Most standard courier services are designed for general deliveries, hence lacking the protocols needed for fragile, valuable, or confidential documents such as identification, documents and credit cards. Without proper safeguards like verified personnel or controlled handling environments, sensitive items may pass through multiple hands, multiple facilities, and even multiple vehicles, all of which increases the risk of loss, damage, or information leaks. 

For businesses handling customer data, this could mean breaching data protection laws like the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), which risks damaging trust and reputation.

How Pos Malaysia’s Special Handling Keeps Your Deliveries Safe

Pos Malaysia’s Special Handling service is built with security in mind, not as an add-on, but as a core feature. Once the parcel enters our system, it’s monitored all the way to the final destination. No guesswork, no unnecessary exposure, and no cutting corners. Here’s what sets it apart:

    1. Direct Pickup from You or Your Vendor

Skip the public counters and general drop-offs. Our trained personnel come straight to your office or supplier to collect the parcel directly.

    2. Verified Hand-to-Hand Transfers

At every exchange point, we follow a strict ‘handshake protocol’ whereby only authorised staff are allowed to handle the item, with clear verification at every step.

   3. Secure Sorting Facilities

Parcels are processed in segregated areas with limited access, away from general mail traffic. This ensures your items are never exposed to unnecessary handling.

   4. Locked Delivery Boxes for Ultra-sensitive Items

For items like ICs or credit cards, we go a step further by transporting them in lockboxes that can only be opened by the verified recipient upon delivery.
