Does EMS signed for with Thailand Post also track within the destination country?

[Millian]

Posted some documents with EMS and it's tracked its progress as far as entering the destination country, but not status change since then for 7 days.


Does any one know if the should be status updates once in the destination country and should I expect confirmation of delivery?

Sent my LC in April, tracked all the way & showed proof of delivery.

Even ordinary registered mail is tracked in the destination country.

You should try the tracking site of the destination country (UK?).

If it shows up there it has passed customs checkpoint.

 

The last update you show says "in transit at intermediate country", DOH for Doha, Qatar?

Why do you think it has reached destination country?

[Millian]

Thanks for that, I misunderstood it.

Damn, so it might not even by in the UK yet 10 days after posting.

There is a support number, will call so if they can help

Where am I able to do that?  It was sent with EMS Thai post, whose website should I check in the destination country?

I found some other parcel tracker, and one gave me a bit more info that's its with Universal Postal Union.




However, when I check in their tracker I get even less info:

Tried in Parcel Forces' Tracker in UK, even less info:

Maybe it's fallen down the back of the chair on China Post's plane

last month I sent a small package from Kanchanaburi to Germany.

it was tracked all the way, taking 2 days to get to Suvarnabhumi Airport - then no data for 9 days, until it arrived in Germany, followed by detailed tracking until it was delivered 2 days later.

I assumed it had a short Euro holiday stopover - lol

Played with a number of tracking sites.

Found two vague results that are similar.

Estimated date of arrival at the post office

14 Jun 2025 - 17 Jun 2025, 1 - 4 days remaining

The forecast is not 100% certain, and is based on 219 packages delivered in the last 60 days

Certainly would have been quicker with someone like DHL and maybe cheaper too!  It was 1000 THB for a few sheets of A4 and a blue book!

For letters Germany's customs checkpoint is notoriously slow/overloaded.

6 days can happen.

 

One speculation: parcels from Thailand now prone to even more stringent checks thanks to the wonderful cannabis liberalization? Sniffer dog needs a break.

I've had two different packages get lost AFTER clearing customs in Thailand. I followed the Tracker as far as 'In transit to final destination' and the post office couldn't find them.
Fortunately, the companies re-shipped and those got through. Tracking did nothing for me.

In my experience, 'package is in transit to destination country' doesn't necessarily mean that it is actually on a 'plane flying there.  What seems to happen is that the package clears Thai customs, outbound, and then waits until a suitable 'plane is available.  If you use EMS then the delay is usually short but registered mail seems to take longer. 

 

Again, in my experience, sending stuff to the UK,  the package will not reappear on the tracking radar until it has cleared customs inbound at the Langley Postal Centre at Heathrow and this can take several days.  Langley has been described as a 'black hole' because things seem to disappear there, sometimes never to re-emerge.  Once cleared by Langley it is possible to track the package, either on the Thailand Post website or by using the UK Royal Mail site.

 

For other destination countries YMMV, as they say.

I just rang support, and they said it arrived in the UK on the 9th.
