I've used DHL a number of times for quick, reliable shipping to/from Australia. Not cheap though..

I wouldn't trust the post office international express service.

Last couple of times to Europe I used FedEx, cheaper than DHL. Their place is near the bottom end of Norodom.

I've used DHL many times over the years. No issues. Yes, its not cheap but sometimes in life you get what you pay for.

I would have thought DHL international courier, package delivery and express mail service, which is a division of the German logistics firm Deutsche Post.

I know this is an old post but thought I would share my bit.

I needed to send certified documents to Perth Australia so used EMS at the post office as I had done before. $25

Delivered in 8 days.

For Germany DHL is by the best service you can choose. DHL is everywhere in Germany. Fast, reliable, NOT CHEAP. Go to the DHL office in PP and do a drop off to reduce risks and handling time. EXPRESS service will take 48h to deliver.

Here's another vote for DHL. Disclaimer - I've never used them from Cambodia - but have used them several times from a different country with a terrible postal system and found them very reliable.
