Hawk Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I have about 25 kilos in weight of books, about 60, which I want to send to Thailand, from England but as cheaply as possible. No hurry for the recipient to receive them but so far I cannot find any shipping agencies that will take them and the courier people are darn expensive. Does anyone know a cheap way to send the books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollyKS Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Let the post office send them surface mail. My mate moved out here recently and brought everything for some reason, all his hifi and comics and crap. Took a while but he sent it a couple of weeks before he left and then travelled for a month or two before arriving in Bangkok. Was waiting for him when he got here. The only thing to advise is go and pick it up with a Thai person, no matter how well you speak Thai it will be cheaper. As far as I can tell they just make up the duty as they go along. They wanted a couple of thousand baht import duty from him but he ended up paying a couple of hundred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
