&gt; Throwing a quick question out about package delivery by Posta. Anybody tried<br>
&gt; sending or receiving overseas packages with computer equipment via post<br>
&gt; office? Yeah I know that&#39;s a big risk as they&#39;re not that trustworthy but is<br>
&gt; it feasible? Would like to hear your experiences. I&#39;m trying to see if I can<br>
&gt; avoid the parcel companies.<br>
&gt;<br>

</div></div>I have bought a laptop online and shipped it with EMS to Nairobi.  No<br>
problems, got an sms promptly on arrival, picked it up from teleposta<br>
towers. had to pay IDF fee flat 5,000 shillings.<br>
