To your office? They came out from the Post Office here and delivered it? I thought you had to collect from the office on street 102?
Second parcel arrived from U.K. yesterday. Yes, they do deliver in central Phnom Penh. I think it helps if you have a easy to find address and someone is there when they decide to turn up. That’s why I use my company address.

I would just use DHL. I have had a small envelope with a new ATM card arrive using DHL.
