Just some  information for those that might be interested.

 

I placed orders with 2 stainless bolt companies in UK on 18th. January. Both orders arrived today, 25th. January.

 

Both were unopened and untaxed by Thai customs. Sent by UK Royal Mail & Thailand Post.

 

Companies concerned - Racebolt in Bristol and Middleton Stainless in Leeds. 

 

 

 

Small jiffy bags, value under 40GBP never a problem. Value under 80GBP per parcel sometimes get thru.

Just had 50 quids worth of spark plugs (14)  and tab washers delivered - no tax nor customs. Once you're into cardboard boxes and values over these amounts virtually everything gets hit.

I speak from experience because I have stuff sent from the UK, Europe and the States regularly.

Worst one recently was 3 pistons valued at 279 quid inc P&P, got hit with 4200 Baht this end.

Send them to a government address (school/Uni/clinic/hospital) and they tend to remain unchecked.
