Hi, 

You cannot send by airmail batteries. All packages will be scanned at the airport.

I ship tons of used old video game consoles and games all over the world and use UPS if there is a lithium battery in device.

Before covid I used Seamail shipping with the post if i had batteries. Now their rates are higher then airmail.....

I've always had anything with batteries returned.  That includes very small watch batteries.

 

 

I've also had electronic products returned that don't have batteries.  They assumed it had a battery in it's because it had a plug. 

 

No refunds.

 

You'll have to use Fedex, DHL, etc

 

Expect prices to start at 2,ooo baht for small international packages.

Hi yes of course you can. A friend died about a year ago he had an expensive new Asus laptop which his daughter who lives in England wanted. Thailand post have a courier service in the main Chiang Mai PO they also have a packaging service you just fill in the required forms I think it cost around 3500Bt & she received it in 3 days! Passengers travel domestically/internationally everyday carrying  their mobiles & laptops!!

Twice a year or so I get hearing aid batteries from the Veterans Administration.....80 to a box.

 

Last year I sent one of my rechargeable hearing aids to the VA for repair.  Once it was repaired, the VA didn't want to sent it back......afraid it wouldn't pass the postal test.  I had them send it to my daughter in Texas and she sent it back via regular mail.  No problem.

 

Three years ago I sent my Samsung sports watch back to the US for replacement under warranty.  I had them send my replacement to my daughter, and she in turn to me.  No problem.
