ABOUT LONGLINE

One team, one line, from China to Sabah.

Longline isn’t a new name. For years our Kota Kinabalu team has quietly handled imports for business owners across Sabah, from everyday goods to heavy machinery. Now we’re opening our line to everyone: tell us your problem clearly, and we’ll take it from there.

STEP 1 · CHINA

Packed and loaded in China.

Your supplier sends the goods to our China warehouse. We check them, consolidate and load the container ourselves.

STEP 2 · ON THE SEA

Straight across the sea.

Direct to Sabah, with no transit through West Malaysia. You hear from us every 1, 3 or 7 days.

STEP 3 · KOTA KINABALU

Into Kota Kinabalu.

Cleared at the port and sorted at our KK warehouse. We message you the moment it arrives.

STEP 4 · YOUR DOOR

To your door.

Collect it at our warehouse, or we deliver anywhere in Sabah.

BASED IN KOTA KINABALU

Local ground. Straight from China.

We live and work in Sabah. We know the port, the roads and the paperwork first hand, so your goods land in good hands.

WHY LOCAL MATTERS

Our own team, from our own warehouse in Kota Kinabalu.

WHY CUSTOMERS STAY WITH US

Not the cheapest. The most caring.

Four promises we keep on every shipment, no matter how big or how small.

A Longline team member answering a customer's call at her desk
01

Smart system. Real people.

Our AI-assisted system keeps every shipment on track and cuts down on mistakes. When something unexpected happens, you reach a real person who knows your shipment. With many big companies, you can't find anyone when it matters. With us, help is always a message away.

A real person when you need one

02

Updates come to you.

When you join, you choose how often you want to hear from us: every 1, 3 or 7 days. Your updates arrive on their own, so you never have to remember to check or go looking for your goods.

Set it once when you join

03

Warm, professional, and easy to ask.

When something needs your attention, we raise it ourselves and walk you through the risks before your goods ship. And you're always welcome to ask us about prices, packing or shipping. No question is too small.

We speak up when it matters

We give you real, upfront prices, and every charge is written out in black and white. You will never find a fee on your bill that nobody told you about.

DIRECT TO SABAH

One line from China to Sabah.

Many shipments to Sabah stop in West Malaysia first and change hands along the way. Ours don’t.

LONGLINE

China → Kota Kinabalu, direct

  • No transit through West Malaysia
  • Fewer hands touch your goods
  • One clear price for the whole route
VIA WEST MALAYSIA

China → West Malaysia → Sabah

  • An extra stop and transfer on the way
  • More handling, more chances of damage
  • More parties to chase for updates
THE PEOPLE BEHIND LONGLINE

Founded in Kota Kinabalu.

Longline Logistics Sdn. Bhd. is run by its two founders together with our warehouse and operations team in Sabah.

“Our purpose is simple: to help the people who trust us. We never wanted Longline to be a company that only looks at numbers.”

OUR DAMAGE GUARANTEE

Damage compensation terms.

Many forwarders pay nothing when goods are damaged. We do, because the service matters more to us than the numbers. These terms explain what we cover, how to claim and how we decide.

Last updated: 26 October 2026

RM300–1,000Maximum per claim, by membership level
24 hoursTell us within 24 hours of delivery or collection
7 working daysWe reply with our assessment

1What is covered

Physical damage to your goods that happens while they are in Longline’s care: from the moment they are received and checked at the China warehouse we work with, until they are delivered and signed for, or collected from our Kota Kinabalu warehouse.

2How much we compensate

Every claim is assessed on its own facts. Compensation is based on the proven value of the damaged item and how badly it is damaged, and is normally 30% to 50% of that value, up to the maximum for your membership level:

  • Coral(珊瑚) members: up to RM300 per claim
  • Rafflesia(大王花) members: up to RM700 per claim
  • Kinabalu(神山) members: up to RM1,000 per claim

To prove the value, please provide the purchase invoice, receipt or payment record for the item.

3How to make a claim

Within 24 hours of delivery or self-collection, send the following in your Longline WhatsApp group:

  • Photos or a short video of the damage, the outer packaging and the label with your member code.
  • Your member code and the delivery order (DO) or collection note (CN) number.
  • Proof of the item’s value.

Please keep the goods and all packaging as they are until we finish the assessment. Do not throw away, repair or resell them. Claims made after 24 hours cannot be accepted.

4How we assess

Our team checks what happened and where, using our warehouse check records and photos from loading and unloading. We may ask to inspect the goods. We reply with the result within 7 working days after we receive complete information.

5How you are paid

Approved compensation is credited to your next Longline invoice or paid by bank transfer, as agreed with you.

6What is not covered

  • Damage or shortages inside a carton whose outer packaging arrived intact and unopened.
  • Fragile items (such as glass, ceramics or screens) that were not packed with proper protection by the supplier.
  • Manufacturing defects, normal wear, and natural changes such as rust, mould or melting; perishable goods.
  • Damage caused by equipment or manpower arranged by the customer.
  • Dangerous, prohibited or incorrectly declared goods.
  • Inspection or handling by customs or other authorities.
  • Events beyond our control, such as natural disasters, severe weather, fire, war, strikes or government action.
  • Indirect losses, such as loss of profit, business interruption or delays.

7High-value goods

Compensation is capped at the maximum for your membership level: RM300, RM700 or RM1,000 per claim. If you are shipping high-value goods, please tell us before they ship so we can advise on packing and protection.

8Other terms

These terms apply together with the terms on our invoices, delivery orders, collection notes and our membership rules. Longline may update these terms; the version on this page applies to new claims. Longline Logistics Sdn. Bhd. reserves the right of final interpretation.
