I need to post a simple A4 envelope to the UK. I went to the post office in Sungei Wang and the girl said, "Oh, no we're not accepting post to the UK, sorry". Is this correct? If so what's the best alternative post service?

International post to the UK is only sent via a few airline companies, and probably because of COVID-19, resulting in a lack of customers, these are not yet flying again?

If your letter is urgent, maybe you could try an International courier like DHL. You might have better luck?

Thanks. I rang DHL, they said RM105. Post Laju is 2 Ringgit or near enough! I hate being ripped off and it isn't urgent but before Sept 1st - and G only knows if this covid restriction will ever end, may be extended.

Another option you may have, is to ask the recipient if they will accept a scanned copy via email? I rent out my home in England and the lease holder requires me to send an original signed licence to them every year.

When I pointed out that there is currently no postal service from Cambodia because of C - 19 and not sure when it will resume, they accepted a scanned copy via email.

If only. A normal person would. This isn't a normal person!
And no, it's not an ex-wife. 🤦‍♂️
