Popular Post ubonjoe Posted September 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2020 It depends upon what country you are mailing a letter or package to. Select the country to check to see what is available. https://www.thailandpost.co.th/un/rate_result/?country_code=US&weight=30 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlover Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I sent a registered letter to the UK on the 3rd. It's just arrived in the country today . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Hna Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 There was a big delay with a couple of packages during April but the standard untracked mail still got here eventually. I believe thailand has the best mail service compared to uk. Had over 40 untracked packages arrive. Never had a satang to pay. Goods always addressed to Thai person. Waiting on 2 as I type. Shipped on 3rd will arrive on Monday slightly delayed due to songkran holiday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TobiasML Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Currently should be no issue to ship internationally. Bigger issue would be the transit time. If you are lucky it takes a few days and unlucky it takes several weeks. Always depending on the volume and destination the ThaiPost has and vice versa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have posted a registered letter to the UK last Tuesday. It was received, but I don't know how long it will take to get there. I did receive a registered letter from the UK last week. It took about 2 weeks to get here. So it seems that international post still works, albeit with considerable delays. If one wants to have something delivered out of Thailand urgently, I suggest UPS or DHL should be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned above, the details may depend on what country you're trying to mail to. But in general, AFAIK, the private couriers (FedEx, DHL, UPS) are all accepting outbound mail right now, but are waiving their normal time guarantees because of COVID. Figure at least 1000 baht and more for a single regular letter. I asked at my local Thai Post Office the other day about outbound letter mail to the U.S. in particular. And the choices they offered were: --a so-called E-Packet for 260 baht (same price up to 200g), or --EMS mail for 880 baht (same price up to 200g). For both, they were estimating delivery time of 3-4 weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to read what is not there. The absence of letter service means they do not offer letter service to that country at this time. If you select Singapore, China, Mexico, or Canada you will see ordinary letter service is available. Selecting the US or Hong Kong shows no letter service, only the more expensive carrier services.

UTH001 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Normal mail service OUR (airmail and seamail) to only some countries but for instance NOT to the US or Australia. But funny enough, I get letters from both countries regularly. Sent a parcel airmail to Poland a few weeks ago, got there within 3 1/2 weeks, not too bad.
