Cashback system

Greetings~!

I've recently discovered this cashback site called shopback.my which gives you cashback for shopping. 

This system is probably not something new if you are from America or UK. But, it's considerably new in Malaysia. Plus, it features so many popular online shops which I'm very sure most Malaysians know of.



They feature lots of online shops but the most popular ones are the sites which most Malaysians use.


The cashback is pretty good. I mean, who doesn't want some form of reward after shopping right?

I use Lazada & Zalora, so from there, I did get some cashback. 

Try it since it's free and you have nothing to lose anyways. 

No additional charge or even those subscription fees and all. 

Pretty much a win win situation right?

If there are other cashback systems out there, do give it a try.

It's really worth it and you don't need to pay them anything. 



China Series: How to ship your things from Beijing

Greetings~!

I'm writing this post to help any of you who's interested to ship their things back to Malaysia at a very reasonable price. I thought this post would be useful, perhaps even helpful since I went through a lot in order to find reliable companies which are cheap enough. 

As you all may or may not know, I recently graduated and I have so MANY things to send back home. I contacted a lot of shipping companies, some didn't even bother to reply. And well, some were too expensive.

So here's the company that I used:
https://www.gzhongxun.com/

I went to the site & had an online consultation with one of the agents. The agent who consulted me & gave me all the information I needed was Leo. He was more than helpful really.

He even gave his Wechat contact and we continued our discussion on Wechat.

He informed me of the process, how to pay and absolutely everything I needed to know.

I was told that I could make payment after my items have been shipped from China, so no rush in payment. He offered me RMB500 when I told him I wanted to ship 3 boxes which were of 80cmx70cmx60cm size. That price is fixed for 1mx1mx1m box regardless of the weight.

So, since I've settled the China to Penang shipment, I had to find a reliable and cheap method to ship my items from Beijing to Guangzhou. If your boxes are pretty heavy like mine, use my method.

I contacted https://www.deppon.com/ to ship my things. As I didn't have a car, I opted for the pick up service which costed a little extra. I paid about RMB400 to ship my boxes which were 90kg in total. For this company, I applied and did everything online. I filled up the form which was available online & the whole process was pretty simple. After submitting the online application, the company called to confirm my address and date & time. On the actual day, a big truck came & helped me with my boxes. I just needed to sign & wait for them to calculate the total which I needed to pay.

Regarding the price, there's an online price estimator which is really accurate. So, you don't need to worry about them overcharging or anything. I used that calculator on their site and the total they charged was exactly that. It took about 3 days for my boxes to get to Guangzhou. The whole process was tracked pretty efficiently and everything was sent by SMS and also email.

I was informed by Leo when he received my boxes. The whole process was really simple and he guided me really well. It took about a month for my boxes to arrive in Penang, Malaysia. The boxes were dented but otherwise everything was perfectly fine. Leo actually gave me an estimated date of arrival but it didn't arrive on that day. I contacted him and he was really helpful with the whole process. He answered every question I had and even checked for me the status of my shipment. He said it'll arrive within the next few days and it did. Nothing was lost and I even got my boxes delivered right to my doorstep. Payment wise, very easy as I use Alipay and after paying, I just sent Leo a screenshot as proof.

I'm really happy with both shipping companies and am glad that I went with both. Deppon was actually recommended by Leo. He has been nothing but incredibly helpful. I'm really thankful to have found their website. In China, you have to be cautious all the time as scams are all around you. But this company is definitely not a scam.

If you're graduating from China or maybe working there but have decided to move out and you want to ship your things back to your country, I highly suggest checking them out.

So, I hope that this post has been helpful even by a tiny bit.

Till the next time~!
