Expecting a parcel from Australia

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Expecting a parcel from Australia

Post by rozzieoz »

A friend in Townsville posted a parcel to me yesterday.

She was told it would get here (SNV) in six days.
I’ll let you know when it arrives.

Is it Vegemite? Or are those folk in Townsville a bit dodgy? Is your friend a untrustworthy Kiwi? Is he/she sending contraband (Marmite)?

Otherwise why are you telling everyone?

It’s nothing illegal, just some treats from home.
People often ask about mail service so I thought I’d give live feedback. You’re welcome :)

Ok.
I get stuff sent all the time. Only had one issue but I think that was the dodgy eBay seller.

Six days!


BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

A birthday card to my PP PO box from Melbourne took six weeks.

A debit card my neighbour posted to me from Sydney never arrived (Aus Post tells me it would have only cost $3.60 to register it so why she didn't is a total mystery). But even still, an envelope to a PO box you would think would arrive.

Let us know if your goodies arrive by Christmas.

A parcel arrived in 10 working days like they said it would (from Queensland). An ATM card still hasn't arrived about 6 oŕ 7 weeks after it was sent. It was in a padded envelope and with one of those skimmer protectors. A (non aTM) card may or may not have arrived after 16 days. I haven't been to check yet.

Semi related....

My mum recently sent my kids the collection or where’s Wally books by normal post and they were delivered direct to my apartment door.

I have had this once before when ordering something off eBay and it was delivered to my office without having to go pick it up from the post office.
