krey Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I got a package from Amazon coming but it is super late. According to the tracking they came here on july 9th though I was home that day in any case i contacted Amazon and the person that sold the product said it is kind of out of his hands now and to contact the local post office as the package did arrive in Thailand. If I take my USPS code and head to a post office can they track it down with that code? any recommendations on which post office? I live out by Maya Mall but have a bike so I can go wherever might be best thanks for your help in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick ZepTepi Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 The main post office for undelivered mail is on the north side of super highway opposite side to central festival. Sent from my BND-L21 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flare Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 You can enter your USPS tracking number in both USPS.com and ThailandPost.co.th to see where the package in currently situated (probably somewhere awaiting customs duty). If the most recent update says 'Delivery Attempt', it means it's sitting at the post office- which one will mostly depend on whether customs duty is due on it- you'll most likely have to call them (in Thai) and they'll tell you where it is, or you can stop into your local branch for the info (and maybe you'll get lucky and it will be there).

cmsally Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Are you sure it was delivered by Thai Post rather a courier service? If it is Thai Post you can try asking at Thai post office Phra Singh; even if not situated there, they are very helpful and are longtime employees, so know how everything works.

Isan Farang Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 This is what the tracking will look like providing its not been sent by courier. If it states out for delivery and you have not received a card, head to your post office and give the guy the tracking number, you mention the 9th was this the date of the out for delivery ?

EL159 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Yup. From personal experience ( once and never again) they ll probably charge tax and duty more than you paid for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve only ever been charged twice for import tax over the last 15 years and both times it worked out to around 30% of the purchase + delivery price. Unless you order things that cost more to send than they are worth, I don’t see how you can be paying so much VAT and duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon has a global shipping service which includes both shipping costs and custom duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peasandmash Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 makes sense, having problems with importing something that is restricted, don't read anything, just ask a question on thaivisa. you should be getting your award in the mail soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not eligible for the Global Shipping option so I had the parcel sent to my mail forwarding service in the USA - then shipped to me in CM. They were delivered to me at my place so I didn't have to run over to the post office, even so, it was a lesson learned. They ended up costing around $110. What courier or postal service did you use and what was the breakdown of the import duty and sales tax you were charged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
