Doing Laundry, Getting Deliveries, and Everyday Logistics at NS

Network School includes laundry service as part of the monthly fee for both Basic and Pro tiers. Members can drop off clothes at designated times and pick them up clean and folded, typically within a day or two. The service handles everyday clothing, workout gear, and linens. For delicate or specialty items, you may want to hand-wash or find a dry cleaner in JB. The included laundry service eliminates one of the common friction points of coliving and lets you pack lighter since you do not need two weeks worth of clothing.

Online shopping deliveries from Shopee and Lazada, the dominant e-commerce platforms in Malaysia, arrive at the Forest City address. Delivery times are generally two to five days for most items. Some members order supplements, snacks, electronics accessories, and other personal items online since the selection in Forest City itself is limited. Packages are received at a central point and members are notified when items arrive. For items from international retailers, customs processing can add time and occasionally import duties.

While three meals per day are included at NS, some members like to keep snacks, drinks, or personal food items in their rooms. The nearest convenience store within Forest City stocks basics like water, instant noodles, toiletries, and snacks. For a wider selection, a trip to a supermarket in JB or ordering groceries online is necessary. Some members do a weekly grocery run together, combining it with a social trip to JB. Toiletries and personal care products are widely available and affordable in Malaysia.

Haircuts and grooming can be handled at barbershops in JB, where a men's haircut costs as little as 15 to 30 MYR. Banking is best managed through international online banks since opening a local Malaysian bank account as a short-term visitor is difficult. ATMs in Forest City and JB dispense Malaysian Ringgit, and most places accept card payment or e-wallets.
