Do I have to ask what did you go through in order to get this information and open your P.O Box?

If you were asking for the experience, it was smooth and the staffs were so friendly. I needed to open an account for myself and had been delaying it thinking it was going to be a pain in the @$$. But when I eventually did it, it was a pleasant experience.聽

Just thought I would post it, for people who think its a troublesome process.

I am surprised that it went well!! Err.. Don't get me wrong, indeed I happy that the staff were pleasant and even happier for you that it went well. But a friend of mine wanted to open a PO Box in Jeddah, went through one week of hell to get it done!!

But I guess I am might be opening one for myself now it is crystal clear.
