1. I know your pain, been there 1. I pack the laptop in a box that will fit it nicely, then I put it in a larger box with packing foam/peanuts really squeezed in there. 2. Just take it to DHL and you're done, they'll weigh it, price and label it. 3. I actually worked for DHL at one time ...I don't like them, but that just my opinion. 4. As fast as you want it to be 5. 50 for the cheapest, I think up to 2 weeks. Hope this helps.
2. Sell your laptop and buy a new one here! Postage is not worth it, and you can find lots of laptops for $800.00. DUAL CORE!
3. Gia, SInce you must be moving your used laptop - let me tell you a couple of things - Old Laptops would cost you lesser if you sold in in KL and bought a used laptop inthe US. Shipping by DHL would take just 48 hrs from KL to most major cities in the US - if you can pay $120-150 (am assuming your packing will take the weight up to 3 kgs) Please pack it in bubble wrap and then have some styrofoam as well You can call up DHL or go to their website to get their numbers. they'll come to your place n pick it up. Yeah, it is safe - and you can get it insured as well.
