Cheapest International Shipping Fee Courier

Malaysia has USPS courier office or not? I find that using Endisia to ship internation can save triple the shipping fee! http://www.endicia.com/.

I always buy things from US, and sellers from US always ship those things to me by USPS and Endicia, I paid RM60 for 30 bottles cream.

Now I want to ship out 1 bottle of cream from Malaysia to Africa... but fedex charge RM180 for that! Fedex rm180 for 6 days delivery, Fedex RM437 for 4 days delivery, UPS RM329 for 6 days delivery, DHL RM262.

Too bad Malaysia doesn't has USPS office and Endisia is not support in Malaysia. I know it because I talk to the customer service of Endisia, below is the conversation between me and the customer service of Endisia :
Shaneika: Hi, my name is Shaneika. How may I help you?
You: hello
Shaneika: Hello
You: I am from Malaysia country, I want to ship products from Malaysia to South Africa by using USPS. Is it posible?
You: Malaysia doesn't has USPS office, so how to ship the product by USPS courier?
Shaneika: No that is not, I am sorry
You: I tried to sign up an account on Endicia, but it show error on my address, is it Malaysia citizen cannot sign up Endicia account?
Shaneika: No, because you have to sign up and be shipping from a USPS in the United States.
You: ok...
Shaneika: sorry
You: it is okay, thanks for your time :)

I'm jealous US country has USPS, Malaysia TAK BOLEH! Just now I went to post office asked about it, and they told me that cream products can be shipped by sea only, and it need 3 months to delivery. Cream products cannot be delivered by air.

Does anyone know any other courier can delivery the cream from Penang to Africa with faster speed and cheaper price?

Paypal currency exchange is very low!

Paypal exchange rm to usd = 3.257 rate, but exchange usd to rm = 3.055 rate only!!

Paypal charge 3.65% rate to ur customer when ur customer transfer money to u.

paypal charge 3.055% rate to u when u withdraw money, and Paypal also charge rm3 if withdraw less than rm400.

You exchange 3.257 rate to buy products and u sell at 3.055 rate to customers + u need to pay extra rm3... Can you see paypal company eat so much money?

There are some people willing to buy your Paypal credit with higher rate, I found 1 of them from http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1352998/all

You might curious why people want to buy Paypal credit since Paypal credit is not worth in value. The answer is because some people doesn't has credit / debit card to top up credit into their Paypal account, so they willing to pay you cash and asking you transfer the credit from your Paypal account into their Paypal account.

I am not sure is it paypal set the currency rate or real market currency rate is rm to usd = 3.257 rate but usd to rm = 3.055 rate? Is it the real currency rate to exchange usd to rm is 3.055 only? Or this low rate is only happen in Paypal?

Memo Touch 1024 x 600 Resolution Tablet For Elders With Short-Term Memory Loss Review

Introducing Memo Touch, a tablet designed for elders with short-term memory loss and it can be used to deliver gentle cues when its time to take a medication, go to the doctor and the like. This tablet is used to store important day-to-day reminders, for example medication alerts are delivered at their scheduled times, while emergency numbers can be dialed with the press of a button and photo albums can be accessed to look at pictures of family and friends and the best part about the device is the online collaborative, which allows family members to log into the device from anywhere and upload calendar events, store phone numbers for grandma and grandpa and even add to-do items, share photos and personalize messages. Memo Touch is based off the Archos 101 Tablet and sells for $299, also requires a $174 (six month) or $300 (12-month) subscription which will provide access to the web based application needed to make the product worthwhile.

Memo is a revolutionary new memory assistant that helps seniors with short-term memory loss maintain their independence and age in their own home. Introduced, he custom software, which operates on an Android tablet allows family members to provide their aging parent or loved one with reminders to manage everyday activities even when they are miles away. Memo is a breakthrough product designed specifically for persons with memory loss and the people who care for them. Elders need no computer experience to use it. "If they can watch TV, they can use a Memo," says Memo co-founder Carrie Beia. Family members manage the information displayed on the Memo remotely from a companion caregiver website. They can add and update reminders from home, work, or wherever they have internet access. Memo meets the needs of the two million Americans age 75+ with short-term memory loss, which can have devastating effects on their ability to manage everyday activities. Missed appointments, forgotten medications, and chronic confusion often create difficulties for the elder as well as for their caregiver. Family members carry the burden of constant repetition, frequent interruptions, and disruption of work and family life coming to the assistance of their parent or loved one. For caregivers, Memo is a timesaver, alleviating the time-consuming calls and visits necessary to help their loved one stay on top of everyday activities. It helps relieve caregiver worry, guilt and stress. "Memo establishes an entirely new product category of memory assistants designed to reduce the confusion and loss of independence caused by memory impairment," says Merilee Griffin, Ph.D., president of Memo Touch LLC. Memo can be easily customized to meet the needs of people with a wide range of abilities. Memo's display can be as simple as the day, date and time and a single reminder, or it can include optional features such as a calendar, to-do list, the weather, phone numbers, a list of medications and photo albums. A Help button is available to automatically send a text, email or both to the caregiver if needed.

Because access to the caregiver website can be shared among siblings, aides, assisted living staff, and other helpers, Memo facilitates communication and coordination of care. Everyone with access can see the messages, calendar items, to-do lists and medications. It eliminates the additional responsibility typically placed on the primary caregiver to keep all interested parties informed. The family can also make the Memo familiar and appealing by posting family photos and updates, plus reassuring messages that help to overcome distance from their loved ones. "Memo is your assistant that can be there when you can't, to remind your loved one of important tasks," said Griffin, who conceived of the idea while caring for her own aging mother. Developed with the assistance of both clinical gerontologists and researchers, Memo is a solid solution for the problem of memory loss among the growing population of elders. Memo has been in test since January by real families experiencing the stress of caring for an elder with memory loss, and was enhanced with feedback from both elders and caregivers. Memo operates on an Archos 101 ten-inch screen tablet, with the Android operating system and 1024 x 600 resolution. It requires an Internet connection in the users' home, with a wireless router strongly recommended. The Memo program overrides existing software on the tablet so the elder cannot accidentally get lost in a maze of applications, menus, or out in cyberspace. Memo is priced at $299 for the tablet plus $174 for a six-month subscription to the companion caregiver website ($300 for a 12-month subscription). It can be ordered by visiting memotouch.com. Memo comes ready to go with a few clicks, along with recommendations for how to successfully introduce it into the home. The company offers a generous return policy if the elder has not embraced the product within three months. The tablet can be returned if not damaged, or converted to the original Android tablet and the website subscription will be refunded for the remaining months.

A Tour Of Memo Touch Tablet:

Family members and care professionals log into the secure caregiver website remotely, at any time, wherever they have internet access.

They choose the features they want Memo to display, and add messages and information.

They can see exactly what their loved one sees, including messages, appointments, and reminders.

Memo is easily customized for each elder. For someone who resists technology, is easily confused, or is just getting used to Memo, the display can be very simple.

For an elder who is interested in technology, learns new things easily, or is ready for something new, many features can be added to make Memo appealing and friendly.

Apple iPhone 4S "coming soon" to Globe Telecom

Globe Telecom list the Apple iPhone 4S as coming soon. How soon? We think it will be December 16, 2011, the same day the Smart will launch its iPhone 4S.

Here is a link to Globe Telecom's iPhone 4S page.

Apple iPhone 4S launching with Smart Communications on December 16, 2011

We do not have any details on plans and pricing, but hopefully the end of the Globe exclusivity agreement brings better deals. The iPhone has been really overpriced under Globe Telecom for the past few years.

Hopefully Apple also sells unlock phones through it local Apple stores. At US$649 for the 16GB iPhone 4S, we would estimate a unlocked unit to cost about Php31,000. Carrier subsidized units should hopefully be less expensive.

LEGEND OF ZELDA: SKYWARD SWORD

A prequel to N64 classic Ocarina ofTirne, this all-new Link outing has the usual mix of swords, potions and evil-force vanquishing. That Nintendo manages to rearrange such hackneyed elements into something fresh every time is a miracle,

GEARS OF WAR 3 (XBOX )
