1Lucky Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 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.

Mobi Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonobo Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave111223 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h90 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 all german customer ordering 23. November are complaining with the first one yesterday telling that it arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pab Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 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.

1Lucky Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 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.

longball53098 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosha Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cali4995 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeaceBlondie Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noahvail Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 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. 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.

sylviex Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) 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 ). seems almost back to normal, ive had most of my backlog, some still show left country of origin then NOTHING ! Normal being the "black holes" enveloping (heh ) some of the mail ? Edited December 18, 2008 by sylviex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
