Hi all

not a very deep topic but I would like an insight off anyone who has sent visa documents to Thailand from the UK. What Postal Courier did you use ie. most trustworthy and efficient from the UK?

I really do not want to lose them when I come to send them at this point ( I have photocopies of originals).

Thanks all

I have used Fedex twice. No problems. Took 3 or 4 days London to Phuket. It cost me about £21 last time (about a month ago).

Best of luck.

I sent some papers to the British Embassy in Bangkok from UK by registered post and they got there untouched within a week. I sent my B/F a birthday card and it arrived open!

Lat week I sent a valentines card to him by airmail and it arrived unopened in 4 days!

If you were anywhere near Cumbria I would take them for you as I fly out again on Saturday! Yippeee!

I used Fedex before for a mailing, from your post I think I will stick with them.

JohnC have you never heard the airport checkout say "have you packed this bag yourself?", anyways I wouldnt even trust these documents with my own Mum so Fedex will have to do! lol Cheers for the offer anyways

I second FEDEX also.

They use their own staff for pick-up, most of the time their own planes and then again their own staff and trucks for delivery.

The route used from Europe to Asia will probably mean a transit in their USA hub but should not delay delivery.

You are able to keep track of your package online 24h00.

The next way I would suggets and use if it is not as urgent would be EMS.

Avoid DHL as they make a mess of their relations with customs in various countries and packs are delayed often due to backlogs at DHL's customs check points.

I have used DHL twice, both occasions the service was very good. I sent the documents to my mates works (a big company on Lat Krabang ind est) and got him to pass them on.

This time I will have to send them straight to my fiancee apartment because my mate has left his job. Hope the service will still be as good.

Fedex, DHL, TNT are all fine. They also have tracking systems so if by any chance the package goes astray you can have it traced.. Should be no probs tho.

For DOCUMENTS Fedex, UPS, TNT are all great and fast.

For a cheaper option from the UK, international registered also works just fine.
