Re: Receiving mail?
Well it is only for my little netbook that I only use when travelling so I thought 3-4 weeks for delivery would be fine because it wasn't urgent.CambodianDevil wrote:Are things like a charger difficult to get in Cambodia? Seems like so many weeks is a long time.
But it is a laptop charger with a slightly different connector than most laptops.
No idea what happened to the original charger, I am sure I packed it... but I have a feeling it might have been in a side pocket of one of my checked bags and "went missing" enroute. Could have been a baggage handler's revenge for my heavy bags.
Three out of four non-registered parcels from Aliexpress never turned up. Only buying from sellers who use registered post now.

Re: Receiving mail?
The mail struggles is not something I look forward to. I was hoping I wouldn't have to depend on the mail there too much. I am a larger guy and wear XXL shirts, so I don't figure clothes will be easy to find. Also, all the fines and little "payments" that have to be paid to just get treated fairly....it'll take some getting used to.

Re: Receiving mail?
Funnily enough a registered one actually got delivered to my house just now, the guy called from his moto right outside. I paid him $1, so hopefully that will be enough to get more in the future. Much better and less hassle than going to collect it. So there is hope after all.
