No Deliveries - Where Has The International Mail Gone?

[1Lucky]

I haven't received international mail ever since the airport protests began - I've been waiting for some important deliveries for weeks. Am I just unlucky or is noone receiving standard international mail at the moment? When are proper deliveries expected to resume? In case location is relevant I live in Bangkok - near Asoke.

I received an air mail letter from Hong Kong a couple of days ago that was post marked 24th November.

So it seems to be slowly getting through, but I live 15kms East of Pattaya - Bangkok should be quicker.

I have been waiting for an Express Mail delivery which was posted Nov 24. It left the US on Nov 26, but it hasn't even registered as arriving in Thailand yet.

For sending packages I have had all package sent to Australia go through successfully.

But all packages for the US have not arrived and are still marked as at Suvarnabhumi mail center in the tracking system.

Maybe the US has some kind of security control which is not allowing packages through yet, until the airport is properly inspected?

all german customer ordering 23. November are complaining with the first one yesterday telling that it arrived.

Posted Christmas cards to friends and family in Australia the DAY BEFORE the airport closures. These were successfully delivered yesterday. However, still waiting for a registered package from Australia posted nearly a week before the airport closures. Maybe outgoing mail is being cleared more quickly than incoming articles/mail.

I am waiting for 16 items all posted just before or during the troubles, all from the USA . i have had 2,..tracking shows left USA then nothing !,.im hoping they gradually filter through,.

You are lucky. My friend sent me 2 limited edition prints in August and I was sent a limited edition book in October. Both are still in the wind!!! I think I have seen the last of them. Tracking said they left the country then Pooof!!

A parcel from Germany arrived on Monday. It had been mailed on 15.11.

Thanks guys - at least I know I'm not alone now. I thought the claims that the airport was running normally again last Friday were somewhat dubious.

I hope things turn up eventually.

Not a thing here either (I'm also on Asoke) and I'm expecting quite a bit. You're not alone.

My son received a birthday-card on 20th November, sent airmail from the UK on 15th February, for his birthday in early-March. Thank-God it wasn't sent surface-mail !

[toptuan]

Let's hope some of your parcels aren't in some PAD's backpack...

[longball53098]

I would think there is a huge pile of mail and packages that were backlogged and now they are taking their sweet time sorting and sending the stuff.

The only time i waited just over 3 months for something was when it was sent accidently surface by the sender, came by canoe apparantly !

I e-mailed the family to tell them not to bother with cards this Christmas. That was the day before the protest stopped. I saw no reason to change my mind, after they went home.

Yes the major carriers werent affected, and during airport closure i sent an 80 kilo lot with TNT that went via singapore to the UK and it arrived in 4 days,.brilliant when you consider the first day and a half were by road,. EMS on the other hand was stockpiled locally til it was over

Must be PAD's fault!

I received an air mail letter yesterday sent from Santa Barbara (CA, USA) on 24 November.

I live Sathorn area.

[cali4995]

I sent two gift cards (w/photos inside) and a gift calendar from the regular post office

about 15th NOV. Nothing ever arrived. It's all "gone missing." I will never use the

Thai postal system again. Only Fedex, UPS, or DHL. Absolutely deplorable system.

[jlaw666]

I sent a parcel from the UK on the 28th of nov to Aranyaprathet,still not arrived.

Anybody with better luck ?

[PeaceBlondie]

I got two air mail letters from the USA in recent days, no obvious delays. I live near the airport, so maybe the postal service just throws them out of the airplane as it lands.

[CindyCindy]

From the USA, I mailed a large package to dear friends in Bangkok and they received it

today...it took less than a week!

[jimbeam1]

I get a monthly newsletter by airmail from the US. Late last week I got the newsletter from November. Yesterday I got the newsletter from October. But that's up here in Nong Bualamphu, so it's a bit farther from the airfield.

seems almost back to normal, ive had most of my backlog, some still show left country of origin then NOTHING !,.

[sylviex]

Still waiting on some important mail from Oz that was posted a week to ten days before the airport occupation.

(I still can't believe that such a damaging activity was allowed to take place ).

Normal being the "black holes" enveloping (heh ) some of the mail ?
