Moving Abroad.. Not That Much Stuff Shipping Company Or Thai Post?

[ilyelol]

Has anyone dealt with either to move your stuff overseas? im not talking about furniture or whatever.. Just 8-10 boxes of clothes, dvds, shoes maybe my nintendo wii so nothing very heavy.. maybe my bean bag, but probably not.

is it worth asking a moving company? or am i gonna pay less than 300-400$ with thai post?

so no one ever left thailand?

friend moved stuff back to Australia from Samui via post office They do 20k boxes, not unreasonable prices if you use the slow mail (takes around 3 months) Best option is to visit the post office & ask them for the different options.

How about the risk of having to pay customs duties, or would that be only for new stuff?

As an aside, I just tried to check the official Thailand Post website and it still isn't working. I assume this is a long term / permanent problem as I've tried to access their website two or three times in the past three weeks or so with absolutely no luck.

With such a crappy website, I wonder how capable they'd be of shipping stuff out of the country.

I take that back....

Just tried again. The original English homepage indexed by Google is not working, but this one is:

if your not in a hurry send thai post for cost effectiveness. you dont need a removalist etc for this. i have been in the forwarding industry for 30 years. this one is a simple job.

How much does a 20KG box cost to the UK?

The website doesn't show the prices?

Has anyone ever had packages gone missing or not arriving when you've sent them out?
