engrin Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Is it possible to use EMS as a money collector? For example. if I want to sell a second hand mobile phone for 5,000 baht. Can I pay EMS a service charge + price of delivery and they will deliver the mobile phone, collect the money, and pay it to my bank account?

CarlBkk Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Errrrrr, no. EMS will pick up from your door if you're posting a 10-20kg box and deliver it, but they won't deliver something and collect money and pay it into your bank account and bring you back a cup of coffee. You need a gig for that, or a trustworthy motorbike courier (to end on a sensible note). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
engrin Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 Thanks for the reply. I didn't think it was possible. I live in Chonburi and someone in Phucket wants to buy something I have. They don't want to pay in advance. Was looking for options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ndela Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) TNT offers cash on delivery option, but I'm not sure you can use their services as a private person. Slightly off topic: CarlBKK you say that EMS will pick up packages 10-20kg. Is that something you have experience with? Maybe it's only in Bangkok? Because our company ships out many packages every day and when we made an inquiry with EMS to ask if they could pick up packages we were told no. Only possible if the package was to be sent out of Thailand, but not for domestic parcels. Edited December 11, 2009 by d0ndela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlBkk Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I don't think the EMS policy of this pick-up service is clear-cut, it might depend on whether they think it's worth is business-wise to come and pick-up. For me, I always send between 10-20kg internationally and they're very reliable at coming round quickly, securing the box, sometimes giving some free boxes for next time. Not sure about the same weight in domestic postage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
