I explained what had happened and said it was discharged and they let me go with it in the hand luggage.

As far as safety goes charged or discharged makes no difference. Quote from Google.

**Internal Short Circuit**: If the battery has suffered internal damage, it can lead to an internal short circuit. This can generate heat even in an uncharged battery, potentially leading to thermal runaway – a condition where the battery heats up and can catch fire or explode.

Why would DHL hand it over to anyone? They can complete the delivery without help from any other carrier. 

 I think I know how to read "handed over to local courier" on the tracking steps. If you think you know better good for you.

Delivery point was a regional destination and probably not viable for DHL so handed over to subcontractor.

That makes no sense. DHL can show the location until it gets to the destination. 

Makes sense or not thats what happened.

Detailed tracking France to Brisbane a bit over 2 days. No further tracking for 3 days to go about 100km until it reached its destination in Australia when delivered (actually cant remember if indicated delivered as was not DHL itself).

As I mentioned in a previous post when it got to Brisbane it showed as handed over to local courier when tracking stopped.

Recent experience with Thai Post EMS parcel to Melbourne. Tracking with various websites showed similar to your results. I tried “ Ninja Tracking” and they were accurate for delivery in Melbourne. Just a thought.

Thanks for that.

Tried it but came up with message "The tracking ID is invalid or might have expired."

Australia post now says parcel  not trackable.

It will most likely showed as delivered by Australia Post.

 

My guess - package stolen.

Australia Post just says error on their end.

Possibly stolen.

What date did you deliver it at Thai post office?

 

You don't have a huge pile of Christmas parcels and backlog in Australia?

Post office in Chiang Mai on 19 Dec and "delivered" 23rd. I think very fast for this time of the year.

Was the package from France also sent by EMS or Epackage or whatever options only Thai post offers?

It was sent by DHL but like I say only tracking I got after it arrived in Australia was handed over to local courier.

At Thai post office I asked for it to be tracked.

Recently sent a parcel from Chiang Mai to Bribie Island in Australia. I asked for tracking for which I was given a tracking number.

Checking tracking it showed parcel delivered which seemed to be exceptionally fast. On further checking it appears that when handed over to Australia post it was marked as delivered.

It was shown as delivered on 23rd Dec but as of end 29th it hasn't been received by addressee.

Last time a parcel was sent to same address from France detailed tracking was provided online and when reached Australia the message was handed to local courier but not as delivered.

Anyone else have this issue?

I think the larger Apple dealers can provide training but not sure where in Thailand. Most Apple shops, like Studio 7, are resellers.

Recently saw a video where a guy bought several power banks to check internal battery ratings as compared to total rating for the power bank itself.

Most held 2 lithium batteries and all but one brand were underrated as compared to the rating on the unit. Some by a fair gap.

One brand's batteries did total the unit rating, unfortunately I can not remember the brand. I will add later if I remember.

I posted this so people are aware.

There are 3 Mr. DIY Shops in Chang Mai!

Never been to one of them so not sure what they have.

Thanks for all the replies.

Can't speak for Chiang Mai specifically, but living in Bangkok I often found Lazada to be the best source for eclectic stuff like that.

 

Yep, already ordered some stuff from Lazada but would like to be able to go into a shop and look at moles.

Thank you.

Hello.

Anyone know of a hobby shop in Chiang Mai that sells plaster of paris, silicone molds to make small items and plaster colour powders?

Thanks for any help.

I have had full body massage with them using baby powder. Hands still glide freely. Easy to wash off.

Keep making threads until you get the answer you want even if not correct. Good luck.

Be sure to demand extra time for the period she talks answering her mobile

That is so annoying when they use to answer messages.

This concerned me so much I looked up how to use the stopwatch app on my phone. Ready for next time.

After drinking a reasonable amount of alcohol I often whine a lot. 

"Pyramid Schemes are, however, fraudulent schemes, disguised as an MLM strategy. The difference between a pyramid scheme and a lawful MLM program is that there is no real product that is sold in a pyramid scheme. Participants attempt to make money solely by recruiting new participants into the program."

It is exactly that. A pyramid seller of cleaning products. Been around since the 60's.

Shows what you know. Very little.

So you deny Amway is pyramid, but admit it is multi level marketing, and as such selling over priced products

What is your definition of a pyramid? And it has nothing to do with selling over priced or not products.
