TexanInUdon Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Firstly, I apologize if this is redundant because I am sure there are previous posts regarding this subject but I must be challenged at the search function because I cannot find them here. I need to have a couple things mailed to me from the USA to Thailand. The items could be placed in a birthday card envelope. So basically a regular envelope is the size. There is no particular rush...so overnight is not a need........but I would be to be able to track it. Just wondering if you could share your method of shipping, how long it took to receive a regular shipped “letter” and ballpark costs. I swear I remember reading about DHL on here..... but I cannot find the previous posts. Thanks for your time and input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 DO NOT use a courier. The regularly priority mail from USPS is just fine, it can be tracked if you choose and is generally 10 days, dependent on final destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, so-called surface or standard mail can take up to six weeks from the USA to Thailand. With priority mail, the seasonally increased volume during certain times of the year tends to result in longer than the usual delivery time.

Because posters can't tell the difference between letter mail and package mail FEDEX is shunned for packages due to their being a "red flag" attracting Thai Customs, it probably isn't mentioned for letter / documents because it is so expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVENKEEL Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I Fed Exed an envelope Pattaya to Manilla, overnight service. Charge was 900+ bht. Just happy to have the service and cost didn't matter but, you can see it's pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
