Dazinoz Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Recently sent a parcel from Chiang Mai to Bribie Island in Australia. I asked for tracking for which I was given a tracking number. Checking tracking it showed parcel delivered which seemed to be exceptionally fast. On further checking it appears that when handed over to Australia post it was marked as delivered. It was shown as delivered on 23rd Dec but as of end 29th it hasn't been received by addressee. Last time a parcel was sent to same address from France detailed tracking was provided online and when reached Australia the message was handed to local courier but not as delivered. Anyone else have this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayClay Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 (edited) You may be able to use the same tracking number with Australia Post to track its progress since arriving in Australia. Edited December 29, 2023 by JayClay 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the package from France also sent by EMS or Epackage or whatever options only Thai post offers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 What date did you deliver it at Thai post office? You don't have a huge pile of Christmas parcels and backlog in Australia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Thai post office I asked for it to be tracked. I haver sent items before to Oz with ePackage and small packet air, and was told that in Australia post only update when delivered. I have also had packages that arrived in less than a week. DHL has different tracking system, cost also a multiple of postal service So as you suggest, probably stolen or delivered wrong address Edited December 29, 2023 by BenStark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom57 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Recent experience with Thai Post EMS parcel to Melbourne. Tracking with various websites showed similar to your results. I tried “ Ninja Tracking” and they were accurate for delivery in Melbourne. Just a thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubascuba3 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Wait a few days, probably get delivered in new year. My package to Canada stopped tracking once it left Thailand which is kinda pointless, but i went to the post office and somehow they were able to track it further 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will27 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Seriously doubt it's stolen. Peak time over Xmas and NY. Australia Post don't deliver everyday like they used to in a lot of area's. More than likely will turn up next week IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried it but came up with message "The tracking ID is invalid or might have expired." Australia post now says parcel not trackable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverpool Lou Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 15 hours ago, Dazinoz said: At Thai post office I asked for it to be tracked. Thailand Post tracks it until it arrives in Australia, then the subsequent tracking info comes (or more likely doesn't come) from Australian Post.

Makes sense or not thats what happened. Detailed tracking France to Brisbane a bit over 2 days. No further tracking for 3 days to go about 100km until it reached its destination in Australia when delivered (actually cant remember if indicated delivered as was not DHL itself). As I mentioned in a previous post when it got to Brisbane it showed as handed over to local courier when tracking stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can complete the delivery without help from any other carrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think all shipping agents/companies have a fleet of planes and or vehicles to serve every soi on the planet. I use to subcontract myself out, to a company that CF Air Freight use to subcontract to. The truck had CF Air Freight on the side of it, yet neither truck nor driver belonged to CF Air Freight. You'd be surprise that a lot of air freight, never sees the inside of planes. I've driven 'air' freight from Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware to Florida. Using my personal pick up, or CF Air Freight's subcontracted trucks. Edited December 30, 2023 by KhunLA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delivery point was a regional destination and probably not viable for DHL so handed over to subcontractor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazinoz Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 UPDATE: Arrived at destination today 4th Jan. So it looks like my assumption of Thaipost tracking was correct in that "delivered" meant was delivered to Australia Post then another 12 days to get to delivery address with no further update on Thaipost tracking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So looks as if Thai post did a good job after all. They got it faster to Australia than Australian post could get it delivered in country. And Thai post can't be blamed for the lack of tracking either, because they have to receive that info from Australian post once it has arrived there Edited January 4 by BenStark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just asked if anyone had similar experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 If it gives consolation: very similar experiences with Germany. Easily six days for "customs clearance/check" at Frankfurt airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seajae Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 the problem lies with Australia post, they do not track the package once it arrives in Australia, I send packages there a few times a year and the tracking stops once they leave Suvarnabhumi airport. In Australia the post offices rarely help when you try to find out where they are, I have had them tell the person it has not left Thailand but was delivered the next day, had packages sit in the PO for several weeks, had them moved between several different PO's etc, aussie post has become pathetic and you can only find the package if you are able to get someone in aussie post to actually enter the tracking number and tell you where it it, the problem is solely aussie post as they do not enter the tracking when they arrive in the country, it is a money saver for them to not honour trackng from other countries 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
