Thai Post

[Gandtee]

The Thai Post Office refused to accept a small package of a silver bracelet, value Bt3000 to be sent to the UK. Checking with DHL, a door to door delivery would cost almost as much as the item and a possible a charge to the recipient. Is there another way to send this item?

[worgeordie]

Why would they refuse to accept it ? , maybe try another Office ,

those agent offices seem easier to deal with ,posting a letter the

other day they had me fill out one of those small customs declarations

and stick it on a one page letter !!!1 , plus having to show ID , they are

going crazy with regulations...

Check with other courier companies, there's more to life than DHL.

You could just tell them that it is something that is not on the prohibited list but then you'll lose any right to redress in the case of a problem.

I would suggest , if asked that its fashion jewellery and downgradd the value, otnerwise its EMS which wouldnt be financially viable IMHO.

Don't tell them what's inside.

Send it by E-packet to the UK (not airmail or EMS).

How does sending it by E-packet to the UK facilitate its arrival in Thailand?

...but risk no compensation (unless Epacket Plus is paid for and then the maximum valuation is only B1,500).

It doesn't but, then, he doesn't want "to facilitate it's arrival in Thailand", he wants to send it to the UK.

Not many if any at all that are as cheap as Thai Post.

Looks normal to me for the post office - sent registered mail to America recently looked the same...

I didn't say that they are as cheap as Thailand Post and they are a few to choose from.   

 

By the way, if TP wont accept his package they are not cheap and a price comparison between one company that offers a service and another that doesn't offer that service is ridiculous.

[TravelerEastWest]

All the courier companies are usually expensive - but find a friend or local business taht has an account with volume discounts the price can drop to less than half the public rate

Describe item as something else. e.g. Keychain. Value THB100.

Just fill in the custom declaration form with "metal bracelet" and value it at 9.99 USD
