Anybody thinking that couriers are ok do not know how they proceed and why they are allowed to import products quickly.
He was just lucky in the past, but this is not a rule that couriers are ok.

He has quite a lot of experience in the shipping industry and understands that all registered mail is checked, whereas only a tiny fraction of DHL shipments are checked. This is because DHL has a deal with customs that allows them to clear most items before they even arrive, they are the only company in Cambodia to have such a deal in place. This isn't even worth discussing, I've said all I have to say on the subject.

So he was definitively lucky not to have to pay or be caught by customs earlier.
Wrong, not all registered mails are checked, only idiots could believe this.
Right, not even worth discussing when people have no idea about how wrong they are <3
