Post office stupidity.

No it only shows you can't do it. Not attacking you simply pointing out how regularly you call other people dumb.

As I thought, nothing useful to post.

I look forward to the day when you post something useful and knowledgeable.

I'm not sure where all of this nonsense attacking you came from, or why, however suffice it to say that I have followed your posts for years and found them to be interesting, because IMO you are a knowledgeable fellow.

 

That you don't suffer fools gladly or condone misinformation posted here, for me is a bonus, so keep on doing what you've always done and keep up the good work.

I wanted to send a Faulty Hearing Aid to  the UK  for repair until i found out it would be subject to import Tax on its return to Thailand.

Using  DHL (Naklua) it would have cost 950b,  I  went next door into FED EX  who quoted 3000b   both companies quoting same delivery times, both stated, No Batteries to be sent.. , Wonder why so much price difference..

I took a 2 TB hard drive to the Chiang Rai post office, to post to my son in Australia. Cannot. When I asked why, the staff claimed it would be returned to sender when X'rayed, as it has a circuit board.

 

Try again. I take a 64 GB thumb drive the next day. Again, cannot. But but but I have posted this thumb drive back and forth to a friend in Chiang Mai repeatedly, no problem. Cannot.

 

AFAIK Thailand imports thousands of laptops and millions of thumb drives. According to AI, my drives do not contain batteries, therefore Thai Post can send them anywhere.

 

Is it rank stupidity, or the pleasure some bored flunky gets screwing with a farang?

 

Which international courier is recommended as the most reliable?

It happened to me a few years ago, a visitor here in Thailand had forgotten her watch and asked me to send it back to Canada.
Refused, it had a battery in it.

They are not always the sharpest knives in the drawer.

Very simple solution for shipping large amounts of data, large files. Use Dropbox. Both sender and receiver install the Dropbox application and can share any amount of data. Voila. Or you can try https://www.filemail.com/ , also for sending large files, free.

Or use free FTP.

WeTransfer.com offers free with 2gb limit. Sender uploads,receiver alerted my email with download link. 7 days later files are deleted and link dead. Very simple.

 

But DropBox and their ilk work too if you don't mind leaving files in the cloud.

The files I am wanting to obtain are quite large, varying from 5 GB up to 100 GB. While the file transfer suggestions are helpful, they have limits unless paying.

 

I am extremely reluctant to give my debit card details on the internet.

Do you think that every policy you disagree with is stupid?

 

Seems you are always correct and everyone else is dumb.
