DHL Cambodia have gone full scam over the past year - totally complicit with customs office- avoid at all costs

The customs will tax your $303 iherb at around 75% PLUS they will also tax whatever you paid on shipping at same rate

Strictly speaking, the value on which duty and tax is assessed is the CIF value, that's the value of the goods plus the transport costs to the point of entry plus the shipping insurance cost. Personal or small-scale imports other than de minimis also have a 20% premium applied to that value.
As mentioned before, DHL here are actually DHL Group owned and operated. FedEx and UPS are represented by local companies.

Yes, the tax levied including shipping cost, that is the tax base is 303+26= USD 329, and i paid more than USD 120 including service fee and tax. Not only so, the overall custom clearance process took more than 5 hours, after spending 3 hours on DHL filling in forms, i had to go back my office 30 Kilometers away, and came back 5 hours later to join the rush hour traffic to get my package before the custom office close. ( 9 USD ride to office and 9 USD back = 18 USD)

It took me one whole day of time and USD 120+18=138 to get my iHerb package.

I got another package by Cambodia post service, the same lame problem.

Office: TAKMAU, REASON : Addressee not available MEASURE : Scheduled for further action/processing on next working day

I tried to call the post office but totally no English message and no one pick up the phone...

I have no doubt the club must be a fine one, just wonder if there's a golf field for you to play it...

350 yards? You’re in a pretty elite class then.

That was many moons ago ... be happy to clear 300 these days.

Even 300 yards puts you in an elite class, pro or amateur.
