Montana Sully Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Hello! I need to ship a couple of boxes to Bangkok from the US (Oregon) and have found that every site I go to, the price is ridiculously high. I have two boxes of personal items and would like to use a boat/ship for the lower price. Any ideas on a reliable service or a direction to look for one? I can get 50lbs-$100usd through the airline but if I can find a cheaper way.. Thanks to any and all for advice, Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puccini Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 You can have a shipping agent quote you the ocean and air freight rates. Have the figures for weight and volume of the total shipment ready when you call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lannarebirth Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 50 lbs. for a hundred bucks seems pretty reasonable to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mismogge Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Yes, that prices sounds quite good for that services ? Also which service you planned to use ? Something like for example DHL or EMS ? That is how they costs but they provide speed and delivery, of course you could order by ordinar mail and wait a month or be damaged;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langsuan Man Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Don't forget the duty when it gets to Thailand, and no, retiring to Thailand gives you no duty free privileges A 100 lbs of books is going to attract a lot less duty than 100 lbs of electronics The airline option would be the best since customs at the airport is much looser than at a commercial shipping warehouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaRoadrunner Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Anyone on this thread know a customs broker? Or should it be "customs briber?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montana Sully Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 Thanks for all the replies! My sister in law is from the Philippines and is able to send, from Oregon, here in the States to the Philippines for 100lbs-$50usd. She uses a boat service she knows of from the Filipino market. It's dependable and a great price the only downside is that it takes up to a month to get there. This is just gifts and clothes etc for my wife and daughter who didn't come this trip and a few things for my wife's family. I'd have no problem waiting a month for the shipment but paying customs rip off artists would push me right back to the airlines. Anyway, this is what I'm looking for, a boat shipment from Oregon to Bangkok and I'm hoping for a better deal than the airlines. I should've explained better. Cheers!

Try these people, I have used them a few times to ship odd things out of Thailand, they will work with brokers overseas. I have found them reasonably priced, about 20% about rock bottom Thai post services, but prices vary a lot depending on what you are doing. It's a French owned company in BKK, speak great English.
