Three weeks is not the end, it may still turn up. Are you city or rural ? 

 

If you sent it "registered" from Australia you need to wait 28 days from send date then ask the Auspost to investigate, they are the senders and can request a search be carried out.

I thought the reason to register a mail is being able to track it. That´s what I do here in TH. I get the number, go to the website and can see where the thing is

Yes that is what I thought now read this

The tracking status 'product not trackable' – or the message, ‘sorry, this item can’t be tracked’ – might be shown for items sent using one of our international services that doesn’t come with tracking as a standard feature.

These include:

Registered Post International

International Economy (Air and Sea)

 

Interesting to know. BTW the english-written address shouldn´t be a problem

I just printed our address in thai copied it and now when anything is sent from England its with the address in Thai,the only time i have ever had a problem was when it was sent EMS,never again

Sent from my SM-A720F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app

Many countries do not provide tracking, only proof of delivery.

 

If you sent from Thailand to Australia, tracking would stop at swampy airport.(as an example)

Go to the local post office where the guys who deliver the mail start out from. For me this is a simple place to locate as I live in a small area on the outskirts of a small town, it might not be so easy to locate in Bangkok.

 

I have had this issue before and when I went there they found the package after some digging around.

 

This was with tracked mail though but the same thing can apply with non tracked mail.

I discovered that Registered Mail (Thailand to USA) was ALWAYS the slowest means to send by post; one month or more not unusual.  It was explained to me that R-Mail must be logged in at every transfer point, often manually so it can sit for days at each station.  Certified Mail is usually 50% faster as it does not require point to point log-in.  

Never lost either a registered or certified piece of mail.  Same true for regular Thai Post as well.

I sent by EMS (registered/tracked?) to the UK last year and it showed tracked to the Heathrow sorting office - then UK post lost it............

So some countries it must work?

Ems is not "registered" its a totally different service and offers full tracking.

But, of course anthing can be "lost" but its also clear "who" lost it and compensation can be paid.

Sorry not being difficult but different to what? By EMS I simply meant go to the local PO and ask to send a registered/tracked letter to the UK - I thought that was EMS?

Different to 'international signed for' or 'registered'.

 

EMS is the courier service offered by post offices so it's completely different and much more expensive. Delivery will typically be within 2 to 3 days and the service is designed to rival FedEx / DHL.

No it isnt, "registered" at the counter called "loong tabien" and is the same as "recorded" in the UK it will provide "proof of delivery" and generally is around 7-10 days.

 

EMS is fully trackable and is generally 3-5 days (dependent on final destination).Also a lot more expensive than the above.

And there is no such place as Heathrow sorting office.

So sorry - Langley, which apparently does all the post/parcels that come through Heathrow.

That's the one. And not just Heathrow. All international mail, in and out,  passes through Langley
