Hi Guys am living in Hua Hin and need to get a my blood sample to lab in CA USA, I could drive to Swampy if need be but am not having any luck with UPS or Fed Ex web sites, the sample will be in a package sent to me from the USA based lab, I cannot answer most of the questions asked on these sites ie... value, size, weight etc so keep getting bounced back, any help would be appreciated in advice on how to get a small package to USA asap, many thanks.

Try DHL instead. BTW why did you post on the Chiang Mai forum if your in Hua Hian??? I would have suggested you go to FedX main office on the super highway.

Call Fed Ex in BKK, they will tell you how to do it......May have an office near you.....

See links below for restricted goods:

DHL http://www.dhl-usa.com/resources/Prohibited_Restricted_Commodities.pdf looks like they will accept if certain conditions are met

FEDEX http://fedex.com/us/freight/rulestariff/prohibited_articles.html Section 4:14 (prohibited Goods), Biological Products

I would have thought there would be a DHL depot in Hua Hin somewhere. Hope you get it sorted out.

All the best

Don't think there is a DHL office in Hua Hin

Try the EMS service at the post office, not sure how quick you need the sample to arrive but with EMS it will be there in 5 days.

There is (or was last time I looked) a DHL office in Hua Hin on Petchkasem Road in the first couple of blocks south of the Tessabahn office. I've heard several complaints about their service though.

I've been sending important documents and packages to the U.S. for seven years using a service called EMS at the Hua Hin post office. It is fast (4 or 5 days) and has never failed to get there yet.

HHfarang,i know it depends on the weight but how much roughly does it cost you to a document to the US using DHL?

It costs 600 baht for a document using EMS at the post office. I haven't tried DHL.
