tmd5855 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Good afternoon. By the middle of this year will be shipping over from the UK, around 8 - 10 tea chest size boxes, filled with various items to Pattaya. Tools, books, PC, clothes, ornaments. Would have been three times the amount but keeping only family and sentimental items. Does anyone any firm that can pick up at the door (UK) and deliver to my door in Thailand. This to include the 'tea money' I have heard about. At one point arranging to ship my old BM over until advised "NO", "NO" and "NO" in the strongest terms. Can anyone advise or should I leave everything behind??? Best festive wishes to you all TMD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonymouse Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Not sure where you are in the UK but cargobookers.co.uk based at heathrow will collect from your door. I usually use a Thai shipping agent once it gets to the port at Bangok to deal with the custom formalities and to get it up to Chiang Mai, it's much cheaper doing it this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgunn65 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I used Interdean. Not only do they collect door to door but they pack everything then unpack it here for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tattoodrob Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 bring old beemer.....................definitely NO. way too much hassle here to justify bringing a car hence hardly anyone brings. looks like you got some good advice from other members,check costs for bringing other items then decide if worth the wait/coat.

Best festive wishes to you all TMD A friend of mine is using a company called Seven Seas, they've just delivered some tea chest sized boxes to his house in the UK for him to use and will collect them when they're packed and deliver them to his door in Thailand. I think it takes about eight weeks for delivery. Their price sounds very good (compared to a company I used) and they say it's the full cost, no tea money to pay.

apetley Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 ATEC based in Southampton and shipping out of Tilbury. No complaints from me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetley Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 As a follow up, the shipping company in the UK will have an agent in Bangkok. It is highly likely they will be the ones who ask for the import tax(tea money) demanded by Thai customs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
