Subject: Re: [RTWers] Safety of SE Asian postal system?
Hi Brad
I sent home three packages from SEA last year: one from Bangkok, one from Hanoi and one from Hoi An. I had bought lots of textiles and clothing that I didn't want to drag around for months, so I risked it. The lady at the Hanoi post office was a little too interested in all my silks (even to the point of telling me, "oh, this one is very nice" and holding them up to her body...) so I waited until they were sealed, proofed and put in the locker. Everything arrived home in less than a month in perfect shape. I believe that I paid around 80$CAN (about 50euro) in the end for all three packages (about 8 Kg) so to me, it was worth it.

Hey all. I'm in Vietnam now and would like to lighten my load by sending
some stuff home to France. I'm a bit worried, as I've heard stories of
items or entire packages getting stolen. The stuff I'd like to send is
heavy enough (maybe 8-10kg total) that sending it via FedEx, DHL, or UPS
is out of the question. I don't care how long it takes, but some of the
items are valuable enough that I don't want them lost.
Have any of you shipped things overseas from SE Asia? We could also wait
and do it when we go back through Thailand, but I'm not sure if that's any
better.
Cheers,
Brad
