Hi chuckz,
unlike hongkong there are a few problems with the post office - firstly nobody is clear as to what category some of the components fall into and what would be required to be able to ship these. I've tried around without much luck and being directed from one place to another. as for comparing to the hongkong post, they seem awesome, i had bought some stuff online and everything was delivered on time and neat packaging. I shall try again.
Cheers,
Pracas
