madox66 Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 If it was sent by EMS or registered I would have a sticker on the letter, it isn't the case. The lady told me that it HAD to be a small packet for 16g !! ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susco Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 This is what I found about the UA tracking number on Google. It doesn't seem to be only Thai related. https://community.ebay.com/t5/Archive-Shipping-Returns/TRACKING-NUMBER-BEGINS-WITH-UA-INTERNATIONAL-FIRST-CLASS/td-p/26508394 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lady told me there was an increase in the postage but I never thought it would be that much for a regular, not registered air mail letter weighing just 16 g : 76 B for UK and 175 B for USA !! Next year I will send online cards. Why not take pics of a barely clothed bar girl pouring you a beer and super impose text on and send them via facebook messenger...

You might get a totally different shipping type, depending on from which country you send, even if two tracking numbers start with the same letters. That post which you linked, about the US postal service, is completely unrelated to this topic here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postal services all over the world are standardized these days, for the simple reason that other countries see from the tracking number how they should treat a particular postage. E stands all over the world for Express, where R all over the world stands for Registered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E stands all over the world for Express, where R all over the world stands for Registered Not in Germany, and since Germany uses their own system, there are probably more countries which do so as well. In Germany it doesn't matter if you send it as express or registered, if it's a parcel above 5kg it always has a C tracking number, and once in Thailand all those parcels are processed as express. If it's a parcel up to 2kg private customer's parcels will get a L tracking number, while business customers get a R tracking number. These parcel are treated the same in Germany as well as in Thailand, as registered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
