Our national courier service has recently introduced a ‘volumetric’ charge on parcels that are bulky. Even though the parcel may not be very heavy but if it is big and bulky, the volumetric charge will be imposed. I was recently charge RM23 for 4 storybook pillows and several pieces of kids clothing. The postage charge was exorbitant and I did not know that my parcel was imposed a volumetric charge until my supplier informed me. The price of essential goods and services keep going up. Even the price of gold is going up. I think it would be a good move to buy gold bullion to invest. Who knows that the price of gold will be increased by 10 fold in 10 years’ time!
