As discussed in an other thread (Parcel Post), I am stuck with a rear-view mirror for cars.

The story:
I ordered a rear-view mirror with dash-cam and GPS built in from China.
(https://www.relifes.store/collections/hot-sale/products/the-revolutionary-4g-9-dash-cam-car-camera-dvr-gps-bluetooth-dual-lens-rearview-mirror-video-recorder-full-hd-1080p-automobile-dvr-mirror)

This was a birthday present for my brother in Europe.
But when I wanted to forward it to my brother in Europe, it was not accepted by Thailand post.
It seems that the rear-view mirror contained a (small) Lithium battery and Thailand post does not send parcels with batteries out of Thailand anymore.
 

As far as I know, normal passengers are allowed to carry batteries into airplanes (phones, electronic games, etc..)

I would like to know if somebody will travel abroad in the next few days and is willing to take the mirror outside of Thailand and send it from there to my brother.

Details:

Box: 45 cm x 25 cm x 15 cm (approx.)

Weight: about 1 kg.
Inside the box: - rear-view mirror

                           - Charger

 

TIA

Carrying a package for someone else....................smart move...................not!

How about removing the battery

I don't think it would be easy removing battery,then his brother

would have difficulty finding battery wherever he is,they are

not your normal battery,I have a couple of Chinese made products

that are now useless,because the batteries are dead,could get a

battery for one at about 5 times the price I paid for whole product.

 

Did the P.O. ask if the product had battery in,or did they know ,somehow,

nobody (with any sense) is going to take a parcel off a stranger and take

it to Europe, try a courier service,TNT,UPS,FEDEX,they might do it but will

be expensive, or try post again don't mention battery.

How did it get from China to you here in Thailand?

 

Courier?

 

Asking people to carry stuff on a flight for you is a tad irresponsible don't you think?

if you do find someone to export it for you give them the receipt  they can reclaim the VAT back?

The parcel came back from Suwarabhumi with a note that the parcel had been scanned and the scanner detected a battery or Electronic device inside (battery charger).

Apparently, and I was confirmed on this by the local PO, all parcels that leave Thailand are scanned before being loaded into the airplane.
Parcels that are send into Thailand from abroad are only scanned when Customs are suspicious (eg.: drugs)

TNT, UPS, FEDEX, etc. have all a small print rule that they scan the parcels for batteries or forbidden electronic devices and if found, they are rejected according to the new law.
Ex.: http://www.dhl.co.th/en/express/shipping/shipping_advice/lithium_batteries.html

But somehow, you can pack a whole box of Lithium batteries in your luggage when flying out of Thailand without any problem.

A friend of mine, who lives in Singapore and fly every 2 months between Thailand and Singapore, carries with him a phone (4 Amp battery inside), 2 phone chargers (10 A each), a Notebook (10 Amp battery pack) without any restriction.

This new law is apparently only valid for parcels.
Not for regular flights.

PS.: I asked if somebody would want to carry the parcel out of Thailand (in the checked luggage) and send it from abroad.
I didn't ask for the "smart barstool wisdom" answers (which ThaiVisa seems to be infested with).
If somebody wants to see what is in the package, it is open and can be checked before taking it out of Thailand.
 

I'm flying out next week but reading your responses you don't deserve help.

Thank you for your thoughts.
No problem.

 

PS.: I asked very clearly in my OP for a person who:

1. Would be flying out of Thailand.

2. Would be willing to take a parcel out of Thailand and send it to my brother from his country (supposing that that country doesn't carry the same laws about posting parcels as Thailand).

I don't need the barstool wisdom from posters who joined this thread, or idiotic comments like "check-in staff asking if somebody asked you to carry a parcel from him". 

It's nothing personal but everyone knows it's insane to carry other people's goods across borders.

 

I've heard the question a few times. Might have been in check in or security or when I was younger and pulled aside a few times. Yeah definitely.

 

It's a stupid request. Lock the thread and move on.

A few months ago, while travelling to Bali with my friend and his family the check-in staff came to the conclusion that he was carrying too much luggage weight and he was asked to pay for the extra luggage (Air Asia).

I had only a sportbag and my Notebook with me and could take the extra weight of the luggage of my friend.
Which I did and save him a lot of money.

It all depends if you trust that person or not.

Thank you for your advice.

I think the OP is confused between friends/acquaintances  and members on an anonymous forum.

Is anyone here your friend? Certainly not after your responses.

Just forget this small aberration in your thinking, Confucius.

You would be astonished about the number of friends I have in this forum.
More than you think and certainly more than you have.

Sorry if the truth hurts you "KneeDeep".

I have been flying around the world multiple times and nobody did ask me ever "DID ANYONE HAS GIVEN YOU ITEMS TO CARRY?"

 

I think that the IDIOT is YOU.
 

Now, crawl back on your barstool and tell the bargirls how smart you are.

Maybe you can impress the bargirls with your idiotic wisdom.
Me not.

 

You need to calm down.

Thailand post refused to send your package, so you come on here trying to find somebody foolish enough to carry it on an aircraft.

When members point out the possible problems, you attack them, WHY?

Your attitude stinks, you do not deserve help.

Your comment that nobody ever asked you did anybody ask you to carry anything is total BS.

Or maybe not.

Standard question from check-in staff. You are being rather disingenuous with your reply.

 

You are compounding your idiocy with a reply lile that.

 

Good luck in your quest as you are obviously to tight-fisted to use a courier.

Even "have you packed your bags by yourself"? would be the same question and is often asked. I don't think that DHL or similar is that expensive. 

Was going to ask a similar question as the OP about taking a box of sex toys and a blow up doll back to blighty but thought better of it now I have seen the replys?

This gets better by the minite.

 

Was your package delivered to your door by the Chinese postal service?

 

You are quite correct, a mirror is not a prohibited item, but apparently a lithium battery is.

 

So was your item delivered by the Thai postsl service or by courier?

Send by Chinapost.
Delivered by Thai Post.

If you look on Ebay, Alibaba, etc. most sellers ship to Thailand free of charge.
Would/Could they do that if Chinapost would have the same rules as Thailand?
If Chinapost would handle the same rules as Thailand, no parcel would ever leave China.

Get information before asking such questions.

In that case you should have been sending your multitude of friends a PM, instead of embarrassing yourself on the open forum.

Inflammatory posts and the replies have been removed.  

 

I think the OP is going to have take it upon himself to work it out how to deliver this birthday present.
