Post Office costs and delivery times, arrival

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom. You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

you can chinapost too from any Post Office - but you dun wanna be feeding our commie 'mates' do you?
Actually price is a factor... there are many things that can be ordered and delivered from within the US- so that is an alternative to buying something in Cambodia and sending it.

Some of the gift items I could send are also quite low cost. Spending 5-10 times the price of the object for shipping is kind of silly. If it is expensive then I can just deliver it in person on my next trip.

Ready for the boom?

You will find out prices start at 72.000r for a parcel by snail mail weighing 250 grams.
You will also see up to 1 kg is the same price.

OK, thanks, that's good... 72k for snail mail... doesn't seem worth it. One of the gifts I bought cost 6,000 riel! :roll:

Depends where its going. I sent something to UK by EMS a month ago from the PO in Aeon mall $35 for 500grams arrived in 4 days, quicker than DHL and a third the price. Unbelievable, must have been an accident :-)
Just had a letter delivered from europe ordinary registered mail 3 weeks, 2 weeks of which were spent in Hongkong due to "disruption" cost $5, and 1 week at phnom penh post office cos the postman could not find my address and couldnt be arsed to phone
