Jamie, have you looked into getting a PO Box / Mailbox for three months inside the post office? If you get an atm card sent there, it'll just sit in your box until you pick it up.

The PO system is a little faulty and sometimes relies on customers to relocate mail from wrong to right box. Last I saw it was literally a stack of shoe boxes on the floor.

Sorry you had such a poor experience with DHL. Missus’ friend works there. One of his jobs is to listen to and address customer complaints. Yesterday customer had a package requiring customs to be paid. Customer sent over information from the DHL in the West, irate that there was actually such a thing as customs excise in Cambodia. And initially refused and wanted to just take custody of said package.jw85 wrote:whatever you do don't use dhl

Royal Mail tracked and signed for always takes at least 2 weeks in my experience. And it won't get delivered to a PO Box; you'll get the usual call from the Wat Phnom post office and have to go and collect it.
DHL takes 3 days from the UK. My missus explains how to find the house when the driver calls.
