Carrier Recommendation for Mailing Important Documents?
I need to mail some important documents to the US. Does anyone have a recommendation on which company to use? I was thinking of the usual suspects, FedEx or UPS. But I've never mailed anything out of Cambodia before.
Thanks in advance-

Re: Carrier Recommendation for Mailing Important Documents?
I've used Fedex before (Cambodia>UK), very reliable and I think the cheapest for basic documents in an envelope - I would pre-seal any documents though & simply list them as legal documents or whatever; there are some rules around passports, etc. that you will get 101 questions about sending, best to low-brow it as simple legal docs, whatever the contents might be.

I tried that with DHL in PP, they tore open the envelopes and read everything looking for "illegal checks or other illegal things". I never used them again.Spigzy wrote: ↑Fri Jul 23, 2021 12:51 am I've used Fedex before (Cambodia>UK), very reliable and I think the cheapest for basic documents in an envelope - I would pre-seal any documents though & simply list them as legal documents or whatever; there are some rules around passports, etc. that you will get 101 questions about sending, best to low-brow it as simple legal docs, whatever the contents might be.

I'll go to them first then.

Back home I always used UPS when I didn't use USPS. Surprisingly to me, I have never heard from anyone in KOW that's used UPS.

I have had no issues with inbound DHL, outbound is subject to full exposure to literal prying eyes.

What's the airfare these days?
Someone going back, or anywhere, who could post from there?
