No Malaysia Delivery to Israel?

Filed in: Malaysia — November 2nd, 2006

flag of IsraelYesterday, I sent out all the prizes of “LiewCF.com Survey 2006” to the winners by POSLAJU (Malaysia National Courier), except the grand prize.

The grand prize winner is Gilad Feldman from Israel. Yes, the Israel we read a lot about it in the newspaper. When I asked POSLAJU, Israel is not in the list of countries (92 of them). I asked another nearby local courier company but received the same reply.

Now, DHL is my last hope. I have no experience with DHL, seems like it is quite complicated to make a DHL International delivery… Any advices, please?

By the way, DHL require shipper to state the item value. Should I tell the real value of a 2GB iPod Nano(USD199) or make a fake statement?

Update: I went to DHL office. Sending parcel to Israel requires an official permission certificate (very troublesome to apply for one). Sending paper documents to Israel is less troublesome. I have contacted the winner and we will settle it by ourselves.

Update:

“Hopefully, some day, I will be able to visit Malaysia, and not have to worry about things like how to mail something between our countries.” — Gilad Feldman, the grand prize winner.

    Liew, you already have the ipod or what?

    An option is with Amazon, which allows buyers to send to addresses other than their own, it’s like sending a gift through Amazon.

    You could have declared it as a manufacture defect exchange.

    Didn’t know about that relationship (or rather- anti/relationship) between Israel and Malaysia. Is it because of politics? Or Economics? Can someone clear that out for me?

    Offically – Malaysian cannot go to Israel since it is clearly stated & printed in our Passport. Yet Malaysian Govt do allow some Malaysian to go to Israel (or Israeli come to Malaysia) after special application is submitted to Kementerian Dalam Negeri (Internal Security Ministry). The last time happen to my team is when this one multinational company (MNC) need to send the engrs to Israel. We work out the details and everything when very well. Give 3 -5 month notice. Since then it has happen many time without any problem. For meeting with our Isreali / Malaysian engg team – we either select a neutral site -like Bangkok, Thailand (nice place and cheap !!!) or Singapore.On top of that – shipping stuff between two countries is done via our hub in Singapore. As you know – Malaysia Custom know every single details where the shipping end be it in Cyprus, Israel, Austria or Portugal -thus in the offical document MUST never wrote ISRAEL address as the final destination. Do take note – Malaysia is the world largest exporter of Semiconductor – and we buy/ship electronics all over the world. Anyway – if you want to go to Israel – we can still go bypassing all the above – but make sure enter via Jordan to the Jerusalem but do it with an approved certified good travel agency. Make sure do not stamp your Malaysian passport with any Israeli stamp. Even my secretary do this way 2 yrs ago and it is ok. Bottom line – the Govt know quite details what going on but wil not interfere with our personal actions. As a muslim – it wil be nice to visit Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa but I havent got the chance to do it until everything political is resolved over there. Hope the above info is of help to others.
