In Sihanoukville? Where the hell are they going...to the PO?
In Phnom Penh, which is still in the country and has not yet formally been sold to China or Vietnam.
Did you even read my OP...or are you deliberately trying to confuse the issue? I'm asking SPECIFICALLY about sending/receiving mail from SIHANOUKVILLE?

If you're going to reply to a previous response rather than the OP, then at least quote the information you're replying to...or better yet, don't highjack the thread with info that's not applicable anyway. I know DHL are operating in Phnom Pehn...I said as much in the OP. Unfortunately that doesn't help me in S'ville.

Cheers
You seem tense. And a little bitchy. Do you need a Snickers?

Here's my DHL experience. More than a year ago I left my Ipod & flip phone at the Renaissance in BKK (free w/points) because i was discombobulated from the previous night and has to be at DMK at 04:30. The hotel DHL-ed my stuff and after 2 weeks and about 5 emails I got a response from an agent telling me that my package was held up in customs and that I had to send him $75 to expedite the transaction. I told him that they were mine, left in BKK, and for personal use. Therefore there should be no Custom's charge. He said they could not be released w/out payment. I responded that he could keep 'em. Mind you that the hotel charged me $70 to ship 'em. A month later I got another email from the agent stating that I could come up to PP & claim my items (after I had already bought an Iphone to replace them). I took the bus up to PP and DHL told me my shit had been sent to SV. a week later my stuff got delivered.

No problem at all, just part of the free service.

EMS story.

Had a box (care package) sent by relatives in Seattle, Washington. It got to the USPS sort center in San Francisco that is full of illegal Mexicans with false ID. They sent it to friends in Mexico even though it had CAMBODIA all over it. I got hold of a USPS federal agent and he got hold of the Mexican Federal Police. A few days later the box is back in the system and being sent to another town in Mexico and from there it went to France. (its hard to track in France, the thieves knew that, but I tracked it anyway.)

From France it went to Phnom Penh and the day after touching ground in PP it was in the Snookyville PO.

I opened the box to find there was an empty candy box. The box had guitar strings wrapped around it so it was put back in the box and of the two sacks of Tim's Cascade potato chips in the box, one was half full. Thieves in the Mexican PO where just working there way through the box when they got word that it was tracked and the Mex Federal police were on to them.

EMS tracking does work.
