Hello, so I am wondering if anyone has shipped stuff to Malaysia from Amazon? I have heard the postal service here isn't  reliable, but wondering if Amazon uses FedEx or UPS? Has anyone tried it?

Try DHL

The post system is actually pretty good. For security it would be best to go for the registered delivery option and pay the extra. The only issue may be delivery will be a card in your mailbox and you having to go to the central post office at Pasir seni or to a courier depot. You will have an issue with customs and have to pay import duty though on collection. It tends to be much higher than anticipated. Suggest you do a trial.
