Mail From The Uk

[Rob5060]

I had a small book posted to me from the UK 5 weeks ago now

To date no sign of it anybody have experience of delivery times or do I assume it lost

My letters from the UK take about 8 days to arrive and that includes small packets. I cannot see why one small book should be held up for weeks at Customs which sometimes happens to larger parcels.

My guess it is lost.. I put in a topic about my lost mail too.. see http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Thai-Postal-...08#entry3250808

Hope that helps.. Always get it registered/tracking number then it shouldn't go missing..

Always get it registered/tracking number then it shouldn't go missing..

As I understand it getting a tracking number in the UK is useless because the tracking stops as soon as it leaves UK shores.That's with Royal Mail. Is there a better way of sending a small parcel which tracks its progress intenationally?

Most letters from my Mum take 5-10 days, the taxmans' take 3 weeks because they come via remail in Sweden, but a few letter have taken up to 10 months.

The small=packet with the hemerroid-cream never did arrive, so some postie's wife, somewhere along the way, is wondering why her new imported face-cream has a slight numbing-effect !

My experience is anything between 3 and 12 days for letters and packets but the weather in Britain will have slowed up anything posted in the last fortnight. As previously mentioned; the tracking system is useless and not worth the extra cost as it stops the moment mail leaves Britain.

Have you seen the weather in the UK.Maybe this is the problem.

3 days from UK to Chiangmai is good. !

Small package, 3 days from Witney (near Oxford) prior to the snow but amazing service
